PAP.2.3.020 Delegation of Authority

(a) Generally, this procurement ordinance delegates responsibility for procurement functions to the Tribal Governing Board (hereinafter "TGB"). As established in Article V(1)(c) of the Lac Courte Oreilles Constitution and Bylaws dated November 2, 1966, the TGB has the power to exercise or limit any procedures, agreements, or contracts including this procurement ordinance. Furthermore, projects developed with the use of federal monies are also subject to the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990; OMB Circular A-87; and Section 7(b) and (c) of the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. §450e(c)).

(b) The TGB hereby appoints and delegates procurement authority and the administration of this ordinance to the Chief Procurement Officer (hereinafter "CPO") when s/he performs that function, regardless of any other job, position or title s/he may have. The CPO shall issue operational procedures, including procedures for the processing of purchase orders, to implement this ordinance. Violation of this ordinance, including the ethical standards, shall constitute insubordination and shall be subject to disciplinary action (which may include suspension and/or termination) by the TGB.
