What must contracts over $25,000 be, according to the regulations?

Contracts over $25,000 must be written and receive approval from the City Attorney to ensure they comply with legal standards and provide necessary legal protections. This requirement helps maintain transparency and accountability in government contracts, preventing issues that might arise from oral agreements or poorly structured written documents. Such a process ensures that all terms are clearly defined and legally binding, which is critical when dealing with significant sums of money and the potential consequences of contractual obligations. By requiring the City Attorney's review, the organization safeguards itself against legal disputes and ensures that the contract aligns with existing laws and regulations.
