No City appropriation required.
Title
Amending Section 39.02(9)(a)2.i. of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify an exemption for self-governed nations, tribes, and communities of Indigenous peoples.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: Section 39.02(9) requires certain contract language when the City spends $50,000 or more annually with a contractor. Federal, state and local governments are exempt from these requirements. Indigenous nations or tribes that are self-governed sovereign entities are similar to other exempt governmental entities for purposes of making contracts with the City. This amendment makes that exemption explicit.
