Rewrite Procedure #034 by modifying it to change situations where the buyer played no part in achieving the reduction or eliminate part 1A. 4.Expand its public relations program and meet with each agency or department at least twice a year to discuss mutual ways to improve performances. In addition, they should meet with other agencies, districts and authorities to assist in their purchases or act as consultants.
There is too much hands-on involvement by the director and assistant director since the purchasing manager position for the Purchasing Division was eliminated due to frequent budget and personnel cutbacks. 5.In Cost Savings Procedure #034, cost savings are allowed to be reported and credited if the cost savings are created by a supplier lowering a price previously paid. 6.The Purchasing/Material Services Department is staffed by trained professionals with long-term service in the county.
