Redevelopment commission approves 2026 consulting contract after legal review

The Mooresville Redevelopment Commission voted to approve a one-year consulting contract for the firm listed on the agenda as "Mayans Consulting," which was also referred to verbally during discussion as "Mann's Consulting." Speaker 2 said the firm has changed its rates to "$100 an hour" and proposed a contract “totaling $57,200.04” for up to 11 hours per week.

Commissioner discussion was brief. Legal counsel (Speaker 3) said the agreement had been reviewed and that the document was largely unchanged except for a specified section amendment. After a motion and a second, the commission recorded unanimous assent and approved the contract.

The meeting record does not include a roll-call vote with individual commissioner names; the approval was recorded by voice vote as an affirmative "aye." The item’s paperwork on the agenda names the firm as Mayans Consulting while the spoken motion later referenced the name Mann's Consulting; meeting participants and staff agreed to proceed pending that review. The contract’s hourly rate, total annual amount and the weekly-hours cap were stated in the meeting and are recorded as listed above.

The commission did not record additional contract details at the meeting such as a written scope of services, start date beyond the 2026 year, or departmental assignee for contract oversight. Staff indicated legal had reviewed the changes and was available to answer follow-up questions after the meeting.
