purchases of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to
do so; and
WHEREAS, the concrete street light standards installed in the older sections of
the City were manufactured locally utilizing a City -owned mold, and, as a result of many
years of use, the mold has deteriorated beyond repair; and
