Explanation of Local Expenditures: The bill would increase workload for county officials such as the
county executive to authorize a contract for the purchase of goods and services to the extent that an elected
officeholder determines that it may be necessary to execute a contract. Marion County, a building corporation
of a county that issues bonds for the purpose of constructing public facilities, and a bond or other type of
security for the payment of a lease obligation are exempt from the bill’s provisions. The bill’s requirements
are within the county’s routine administrative functions and should be able to be implemented with no
additional appropriations, assuming near customary county staffing and resource levels.
