Full text
961.1. The council may make, amend or repeal by-laws, to delegate to any officer or employee of the municipality the power to authorize the spending of money and make contracts therefor in the name of the municipality.
Every by-law under the first paragraph shall indicate
(1)  the area of competence to which the delegation applies;
(2)  the amount of the spending the officer or employee may authorize;
(3)  the other conditions to which the delegation is subject.
The rules governing the awarding of contracts by the municipality apply, adapted as required, to a contract awarded under this article. Where, however, the authorization of the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy is required for awarding a contract to a person other than the person who made the lowest tender, only the council may apply for the authorization of the Minister.
An authorization of expenditures granted under a delegation has no effect unless, in accordance with a by-law adopted under the second paragraph of article 960.1, funds are available for that purpose.
The officer or employee who grants an authorization of expenditures shall indicate it in a report that he shall submit to the council at the next regular sitting held after the expiry of a 25-day period following the authorization.
