Fairfax City Purchasing Resolution
approvedSummary
The Fairfax City Purchasing Resolution underwent a review and update process that began at least as early as June 2025. On June 10, 2025, proposed updates to the resolution were presented to the City Council during a work session (agenda item 11b), but no formal action was taken at that time. On June 24, 2025 (reflected in the dated record as the June 23, 2026 meeting entry, which appears to reference the same session based on transcript evidence), the revised resolution was brought forward both as a pulled item for individual consideration and ultimately approved as part of the consent agenda, passing unanimously (6-0, with all six recorded members voting aye). Key substantive changes included a provision related to goods produced by child or forced labor, with the remaining amendments characterized by staff as technical in nature. The resolution was adopted as recommended by city staff and as attached to the agenda item.
