Council approves up to $30,000 agreement with Levy Consulting for annexation strategic plan
Summary
Council approved a professional-services agreement with Levy Consulting LLC—$25,000 plus $5,000 contingency, funded from community development operating budget—to develop an annexation strategic plan and meet individually with council members.
The Sebastian City Council approved a professional-services agreement on June 10 with Levy Consulting LLC to prepare an annexation strategic plan. The contract is for $25,000 with a $5,000 contingency, and staff requested authorization to spend up to $30,000 from the community development operating budget.
Staff said Dr. Richard Levy previously worked on the city’s strategic plan and would meet individually with councilmembers to collect input and produce recommendations. The community-development budget line cited as the funding source had about $89,125 remaining for consulting work.
Councilmembers who spoke expressed support for moving forward and noted the consultant’s prior work with the city. The agreement was approved by roll call.
Next steps: staff will schedule meetings between Dr. Levy and councilmembers and begin assembling data to inform the annexation plan.
