GENERAL SERVICES COMMISSION; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND
PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; AND DECLARING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Paris, Paris, Texas, has need for heavy equipment including dump
trucks in the performance of its services for the citizens of the City of Paris; and,

and the City as a consequence looks to acquire quality used equipment at a discounted price from
state agencies which offer such equipment; and,

purchase of personal property from state agencies from the requirements of Chapter 252 dealing
with competitive bidding; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Paris, Paris, Texas, by prior official action
has elected to have Chapter 252 of the Local Government Code supercede City Charter limitations
on purchases which conflict with Chapter 252 of the Local Government Code; NOW,
THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, PARIS,
TEXAS:
Section 1. That the findings set out in the preamble to this resolution are hereby in all
things approved.
