Cutler Bay extends Thorn Run Partners lobbying contract for one year
Summary
The council approved a one‑year extension to the professional services agreement with Thorn Run Partners LLC for federal lobbying and advocacy, citing recent federal funding wins. The extension was approved without substantive opposition.
The Town of Cutler Bay on Sept. 25 approved a one‑year extension to its professional services agreement with Thorn Run Partners LLC for federal lobbying and advocacy services.
Town Manager Ralph summarized the firm's recent work and noted its role in recent funding successes, including a ceremonial presentation of $4.4 million for Marlin Road. Council moved, seconded and approved the one‑year extension; the motion passed on a voice/roll call vote with no recorded dissent.
The extension was described by staff as a waiver of competitive bidding on the grounds of impracticability and is intended to maintain continuity for federal grant and advocacy work. Town staff said the firm will continue to pursue federal funding opportunities and support the town's existing grant applications.
