(a)

The city council shall approve all contracts for public improvements and purchases in excess of $50,000.00 and all transfers of funds in excess of $50,000.00, in addition to such regular budget approvals as may be required by law; provided, however, that the approval of a majority of the council shall be required to overrule a recommendation of the city manager or to exercise approval in those cases where action by city ordinances is required.

(b)

No individual council member shall incur any expense by travel or otherwise for the city except at the direction of a majority of a quorum of the council. Such approval shall be obtained prior to incurring the expense, except for the following circumstance: expenses totaling $500.00 or less which may be incurred if (1) funds for such expenditure are available in the adopted budget and (2) such council member notifies the council prior to the expenditure of the intended expense.
