However, there is a requirement to seek and receive bids. It would be expected that the town council would then approve necessary expenditures.

I don't live in the area---but I do work for a fairly large municipality in Alabama. Bids are required to comply with the Ethic's commission---that's why a "State Bid List" exists. Century’s “charter” doesn’t require it….but, doesn’t mean it is legal and/or ethical?

Well, I'm willing to sign the petition and vote for the amendment. Checks and balances keeps the administration/council honest and asking for bids will help save money too.
