Riverbank council accepts Blackwater Consulting proposal after 4–1 vote
Summary
The Riverbank City Council voted 4–1 to accept a proposal from Blackwater Consulting after an initial, unsuccessful motion to reject and reissue the solicitation. Vice Mayor Fosse cast the lone vote against the contract.
The Riverbank City Council voted to accept a proposal from Blackwater Consulting in a roll-call vote that ended 4–1.
An unidentified council member moved to accept Blackwater Consulting’s proposal; the motion was seconded and the council conducted a roll call. Council member Rodiva, Council member Pimentel and Council member Call voted yes, Vice Mayor Fosse voted no and Mayor Hernandez voted yes. The motion passed.
Earlier in the discussion an unidentified speaker said the council should seek multiple responses to ensure “we're getting the best bang for our buck” and moved to reject the proposal and direct staff to reissue the solicitation; that motion died for lack of a second. The council therefore proceeded to consider and approve the original proposal.
The vote does not appear to include a recorded dollar amount or contract term in the meeting record. The council did not provide additional public debate on contract specifics during the roll call. The clerk read the roll-call votes and announced the motion passed.
The council’s action will allow staff to move forward with Blackwater Consulting as proposed. The council did not specify a timeline for contract execution on the public record during this meeting.
