Charter Amendment Proposal No. 1
Village of Milford · Oakland County County · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
Currently, the Village Charter requires contracts exceeding $2,000 to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder through a competitive bidding process. Shall Section 11.2 be amended to remove the older fixed $2,000 threshold, authorize Village Council to establish purchasing and contracting limits by resolution, authorize the appointment of a Purchasing Agent, permit contracts to be awarded based on the bid determined to be most advantageous to the Village, and allow Village Council to authorize certain public improvements or Village work to be performed by Village personnel or departments when permitted by ordinance?
