Marketing contract with Golden Shovel tabled until trustees receive draft agreement
Summary
Trustees voted to table a one-year, $27,000 marketing-services engagement with Golden Shovel after staff acknowledged the contract was not attached to the packet. Staff said legal had reviewed the agreement and will circulate the document ahead of the next meeting.
The board considered a one-year proposal to hire Golden Shovel for marketing services (website creation/management, social media) with a $27,000 appropriation. Gary Clark and staff described the work and said the contract was routed through legal and staff review.
Trustees raised a procedural question: the contract text was not attached to the meeting packet. Staff acknowledged the omission and offered to circulate the agreement for board review. Following brief discussion about committee and legal review, a trustee moved to table the item until the next meeting to allow trustees time to review the contract document. The motion to table passed on a roll-call vote.
Why this matters: The contract was proposed as a cost-saving alternative to prior marketing work (staff said it was $27,000 versus a prior $100,000 arrangement). Trustees requested the actual contract language and terms before authorizing funds, citing standard due-diligence and committee review.
Next steps: Staff committed to forward the Golden Shovel agreement to trustees and legal counsel prior to the next meeting; the item will return for action once the document is in the packet.
