Town manager: two-year, $50,000 services agreement with Morrisville Chamber to return on June 23 consent agenda

Town Manager Brandon Zudama and Morrisville Chamber President Christy Moser briefed council during a work session on June 9 about updates to the town’s services agreement with the Chamber of Commerce.

Zudama said the draft was amended from a three-year to a two-year term covering FY27 and FY28, added clearer reporting expectations and minor clarifications, and retained $50,000 in town support for the chamber’s work with town staff. He said the reworked agreement will be placed on the June 23 consent agenda and, if approved then, would begin July 1 as a two-year agreement.

Christy Moser presented membership and event metrics, saying membership is moving toward a target of about 250 members and highlighting recent increases. She described ongoing work to improve trend reporting, membership categories, and event attendance tracking, and told council the chamber would use tools (including a planned QR code) to gather better feedback and data over FY27–FY28.

Council members asked questions about membership composition (large employers vs. small businesses), whether a public directory exists, and how minority- and women-owned businesses are tracked. Moser said the chamber’s online directory lists members but does not publish full contact lists; she also said some categories are incomplete after a software migration and the chamber is following up to correct records.

The town manager said a clean version of the agreement will return on the June 23 consent agenda with more consistent quarterly reporting commitments.
