Approve the contracting changes, including raising Board-review thresholds from $1 million to $4.5 million for revenue agreements and from $10 million to $25 million for spending contracts, with later inflation adjustments.
A no vote means
Keep the existing division of contracting authority, review thresholds, and five-year administrator term.
