Council amends Maximus consulting contract language, approves $16,500 fee
Summary
Council members removed the word 'annually' from a proposed Maximus Consulting Services agreement for a central cost allocation plan and approved the contract for $16,500 (clarified as a one-time fee in council discussion).
The Westland City Council considered a professional services agreement with Maximus Consulting Services Inc. to prepare a central cost allocation plan with a stated fee of $16,500. Council members sought clarification whether the $16,500 was an annual charge or a one-time fee.
City staff (Director Block) confirmed the $16,500 was a one-time charge under the contract as written. Councilwoman Baumann moved to amend the item to remove the word "annually" from the contract text; the council adopted the amendment and then approved the main motion as amended.
The action clarifies the contract cost language for the city and allows staff to proceed under the amended contract terms. No additional public cost breakdown or schedule was provided at the meeting; council accepted staff assurances and voted to approve the amended agreement.
