"I think this action today closes the loophole that some people chose to create that was outside of the intent of this governing body,"
"It provides clear direction on what the intent is for all departments in the city, not just the city council."
Less than a month after a Jan. 7 investigation revealed that city leaders had for years handed out millions in no-bid contracts worth $100,000 or less with no oversight, the Fresno City Council unanimously approved reforms on Jan. 29. The reforms close a loophole in city contracting rules and require the City Clerk's Office to create an online transparency portal by Feb. 28 listing most no-bid contracts, including those exempt from council approval. Some city officials challenged or sought to limit the reforms, while council action moved the measures forward.
