CGOV.11:5.2 - A routine purchase already has its route

Lena has effective authority to decide and sign ordinary purchases through 20 within an approved operating budget. A purchase of 12 meets those conditions; the current information is sufficient and no additional consent is required.

Lena compares the available offer as needed, decides and signs under the existing procedure, and makes the ordinary required purchase record. Asking the board to repeat her decision would add a step without supplying a missing power. If the purchase becomes 24, its route must be reconsidered; the earlier limit cannot be replaced by a favourable business case.
