Dan Buller asked the committee to approve additional funds for the city’s on‑call construction‑management contract with Parametrics, citing a shortage of five construction‑management employees (two budget cuts and three retirements) that has increased reliance on outside inspection and compliance services.

Jason Nikoneski, director of Purchasing and Contracts, presented a sole‑source contract with Ready Rebound to provide recovery services for public‑safety employees in fire and police to help injured staff return to work sooner. Nikoneski said the program is intended to reduce overtime and backfill costs and that legal had not yet finalized the contract language; the completed contract package had been provided to staff for substitution once legal review completed.

No formal vote was recorded during the committee update.
