We have made an exception, that in case of an emergency, the mayor may sign off on the purchase order.

There will be things to come up on weekends or at night, for the water/sewer department, that has to be bought in emergency situations. That will be excused. But only those situations are excusable. Otherwise a purchase order is required or the employee will have the amount of the item purchased, withheld from their paycheck.

If you all agree that these descriptions are acceptable, I will make copies, have them signed and put them in each person's file for reference.

Looking into the spirit of others is sometimes like looking into a pond. Though we aim to see what's deep in the bottom, we are often distracted by our own reflection.

Never prove people right. Never prove them wrong. Prove instead that you make your own path in life.

When you have failed at being nice, you’ve actually succeeded in being mean. Success is everywhere if you know where to look for it.
