Council authorizes one-year public safety testing contract
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to sign a one-year agreement with Public Safety Testing for promotional testing services, following a discussion about contract length and pricing. The chief recommended a one-year term.
The Woodland City Council authorized the mayor to sign a one-year agreement with Public Safety Testing to provide promotional testing services used in hiring and promotions for police and fire personnel. The motion, made by Council Member Houston and seconded by Council Member Michaelelsson, approved the single-year term after council discussed whether a multiyear contract would lock in pricing and limit flexibility.
The staff explanation said a three-year contract could lock pricing but the chief recommended a one-year term so the city would not be bound if it wanted to change vendors or testing processes. Council members asked about vendor continuity and the potential cost advantage of longer terms; the council ultimately approved the one-year commitment.
The agreement covers promotional testing services used when recruiting or promoting public-safety staff; staff will return with contract documents and any required procurement records.
