This policy ensures the accountability, transparency, and ethical behavior of SMBA purchasing representatives yet supports an efficient process. Summary Statement of Policv The policy is designed to serve as a guide for all purchases by SMBA employees and board members on behalf of SMBA. Actual Policv as Written All purchases are ultimately the responsibility of the SMBA Board. The Building Official and assigned employees shall be responsible for purchasing goods and services such as certain standard supplies and services. All purchases must be budgeted for, and properly documented, in accordance with this policy. This policy does not afford anyone the ability to make purchases in excess of what has been budgeted. Purchasers shall not consider appropriations contained in the budget as a mandate to expend funds, nor does the budget constitute authorization to commit SMBA to purchases, as such authorization originates from the provisions in this policy. This purchasing policy is based on dollar thresholds. The practice of separating the work of vendors into separate invoices is a violation ofthe policy. Purchases should be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Consideration shall be given to: quality of goods/services; conformity with specifications; suitability to the requirements of SMBA; delivery of goods; and past performance of vendor. SMBA shall attempt to purchase the highest quality goods and services in the best interest of SMBA. ln this process, SMBA shall serve as an equal opportunity purchaser, favoring localvendors only when all other factors are equal. Credit Cards SMBA credit cards may be used to make purchases from vendors where credit terms are not available (such as travel) as well as for one-time non-routine items. The Building Official manages credit card availability to employees. Purchaser must submit detailed receipts. Emplovee Purchasins Purchases will be reviewed and approved or denied by the Building Official. Purchases in the amount of 52,500 or more will require SMBA Board approval. Receipts and Disbursements report will be provided to the SMBA Board at each monthly board meeting. 1 \-, \- Accounts Pavable lnvoices will be paid bi-weekly with checks mailed on Friday. Contracted inspectors’ payment requests require Building Official approval. lnvoices should be processed and checks made available to the Building Official for signature by Tuesday noon of payables week. lf the Building Official is not available, the checks may be signed by a designated SMBA Board member. Checks in the amount of 52,500 or more will require two signatures. Emergencv Purchases Emergency purchases can be authorized only when health, safety, and/or welfare of member jurisdictions residents or their property are endangered through unexpected circumstances, when normal operations of SMBA would be severely hampered by a long delay, or when SMBA property or employees are endangered through unexpected circumstances. Normal purchasing procedures outlined in this policy may be suspended when such circumstances exist. ln the case of an emergency situation, the Building Official or any SMBA Board member can authorize the immediate purchase of any materials, supplies, equipment, or services needed to resolve the emergency situation. The Building Official will report all emergency purchases to the SMBA Board at its next scheduled meeting. Tax Exempt Status Section 4 of the General Sales Tax Act, MCL 205.5a(5); MSA 7.524(5) and Michigan Sales and Use Tax Rule, 1979 AC, R205.79, provide that sales to the United States Government, the State of Michigan and their political subdivisions, departments and institutions are not taxable when ordered and paid for by warrant on government funds. ln the alternative, the government may claim exemption at the time of purchase by providing the seller with a signed statement to the effect that the purchaser is a governmental entity. The vendor must be provided with Michigan Department of Treasury Form 3372. Forms Every SMBA vendor is required to complete an IRS W-9 form or have this form on record prior to the release of payment for goods and services. Non-Discriminat:ion Requirements ln accordance with the requirements of L976 P.A. 453 (Michigan Civil Rights Act) and L976 22O (Michigan Handicapped Rights Act) to the greatest extent possible, SMBA will do business with vendors of goods and services which “do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or a matter directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, familial status, citizenship, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic information, or because of a physical or mental disability/handicap that is unrelated to the person’s ability to perform the duties of a particular 2 v \- \- job or position. Any vendor found not to comply with these requirements shall be ineligible to do business with SMBA. Documentation Once approved, all invoices for goods and services shall be returned to the Ad mi n istrative O perations Assista nt for processi ng. This policy will be in effect upon adoption by the SMBA Board and will remain in effect until rescinded by the SMBA Board. Revisions or amendments must be approved by the SMBA Board. 3 SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN BUILDING AUTHORITY INVESTMENT POLICY POLICY It is the policy of the Southwest Michigan Building Authority, hereafter known as the Authority, to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the Authority and conforming to all state statutes and local ordinances governing the investment of public funds. This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the Authority. These funds are accounted for in the Authority’s comprehensive annual financial report and include the Operating Fund. The standard of prudence to be applied by the investment officer will be the “prudent person” rule which states, “lnvestments will be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as the probable income to be derived. The prudent person rule will be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. lnvestment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and exercising due diligence will be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported to the Southwest Michigan Building Authority’s Board of Directors in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. Funds of the Authority will be invested in accordance with Michigan Public Act 20 of the Public Acts of 1943, as amended, and in accordance with the following objectives in order of priority1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. lnvestments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to insure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. 2. Diversification: The investments shall be diversified by specific maturity dates and individual financial institutions. 3. Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated. 4. Return of lnvestment: The investment portfolio shall be designated with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout the budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and cash flow characteristics of the portfolio. The Treasurer of the Authority Board is authorized to manage funds belonging to the investment funds of the Authority, including depositing funds in approved financial institutions and administering investments in conformance with MCL 41.77 and the policies as set forth in this lnvestment Policy. SCOPE PRUDENCE OBJECTIVE DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY 2 ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Officers and employees involved in the investment process will refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution and management of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial jnvestment decisions. Employees and rnvestment officials will disclose to the Authority Board any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business with the Authority and they further disclose any large personal financial investment positions that could be related to the performance of the Authority’s portfolio. Employees and officers will subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the Authority, particularly with regard to the time of purchases and sales. APPROVED OEPOSITORIES The Authority approves the following financial institutions as depositories Mercantile Bank, Consumers Credit Union, Advia Credit Union, First National Bank of Michigan, and any other financial institution that qualifies under Act 20 PA 1943, as amended. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY All financial institution deposits shall be on a cash basis. Safekeeping receipts will be held by the Authority. Within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year, the treasurer shall prepare an annual written report to the governing body concerning the investment offunds. The annual written report shall include the following: . A listing of lndividual investments . Date of purchase and maturity of investment . Earnings rate INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION Southwest Michigan Building Authority investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the Authority’s legislative board.
