Council approves master services agreement after attorney review; agenda lists different vendor names
Summary
Council approved a master services agreement for design services after the city attorney removed some contract language; the agenda referenced Venom Design LLC while the motion text referenced Benham Design LLC (transcript contains both names).
The council considered a master services agreement for professional design services listed in the agenda as with Venom Design LLC. During discussion a council member said certain terms had been struck and clarified that the city attorney reviewed and removed contract language that appeared overly favorable to a vendor. The motion recorded at the meeting referenced Benham Design LLC while the agenda item listed Venom Design LLC; council approved the agreement by roll call.
A council member said the city attorney "does an excellent job in going through there and strikes out them items she doesn't agree with." Council asked at what level the contract review occurred and city staff said it had been reviewed by the city attorney and discussed with the department.
The council did not specify funding details or the scope of work during the vote at the meeting; the approval permits staff to finalize and execute the amended agreement. Because the transcript contains two different vendor names in the agenda and motion text, the minutes reflect that discrepancy; staff should confirm the final contracting party and circulate the signed agreement for the record.
Next steps: city staff to finalize the amended master services agreement and provide the executed contract to the council or file it with city records.
