Brentwood board approves contract for communications audit after staff presentation
Summary
The board unanimously approved Resolution 1521 to contract for a communications audit after staff described an RFP process that produced five respondents and recommended a consultant; the work is planned to be split across fiscal years.
Brentwood — The Brentwood Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Sept. 16 to approve Resolution 1521, authorizing a contract with a consultant to perform a communications audit and related work.
Alderman Gould moved to pull Resolution 1521 from the consent agenda for full-board consideration. Michelle (staff) explained she initiated an RFP through the Communications Committee, that the city received five respondents, and that a selection committee recommended the chosen firm. Michelle said the work would be split between the end of this fiscal year and the first quarter of the next fiscal year. The consultant name appears inconsistently in the transcript; official city documents list the adopted contract as with Raftelis Financial Consultants (see audit). After discussion, the board adopted the resolution by a 7-0 roll-call vote.
Michelle said the consultant has produced sample products for other municipalities and that the city expects quality deliverables. The board recorded the vote as unanimous and directed staff to execute the contract and provide status updates to the Communications Committee and the full board.
What happens next: Staff will finalize and execute the contract with the recommended firm, initiate the audit work as scheduled, and report progress to the Communications Committee.
