Council delays decision on terminating delinquent‑tax collection contract
Summary
Council members asked to hear additional information from both firms before deciding on a proposed termination of the city's delinquent‑tax collection agreement; staff recommended no action tonight and to return the item after presentations, with April 6 discussed as a possible return date.
Council considered a staff recommendation to terminate the city's delinquent‑tax collection contract with Purdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins & Mott LLP but elected to take no action pending further information.
One councilmember urged that both firms be invited to present additional information—particularly about technology and other capabilities—so the council could "compare apples to apples." Deputy city attorney Matt Revitsky explained that the immediate action before the council would be termination; what staff recommended instead was to give both firms an opportunity to return with information and then direct staff on a subsequent action. Council directed staff to return the item for further presentation and discussion; April 6 was offered as a potential date.
The decision at this meeting was procedural: the council did not terminate the contract and asked staff to schedule additional presentations before taking formal action.
