Authorization to Sign Contracts and Agreements

Except for the expenditure of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) or less for construction, reconstruction or remodeling, or for the purchase of materials, goods, or wares, the Board of Trustees shall approve any and all contracts at a regular meeting or at a special meeting called for such purpose. Once approved by the Board of Trustees, the President is authorized to sign any and all contracts for and on behalf of the Board of Trustees except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise specified by the Board of Trustees. [Revised December 2006]

The President may sign renewals of agreements and memorandums of understanding provided that (1) the documents have not fundamentally changed since prior approval by Board of Trustees, and (2) all documents are subsequently shared with the Board of Trustees at the regularly scheduled monthly meetings. All new agreements and memorandums of understanding will have the consent of the Board of Trustees prior to any formal approval on behalf of the college.
