Council ratifies contracts, authorizes procurement moves and reviews May financials
Summary
The council authorized bond‑counsel contract negotiations, awarded delinquent tax collection services, ratified a food‑truck concession at Sherry Golf Course, approved re‑solicitation of odor‑control chemicals, and reviewed unaudited May financial statements showing revenue/expenditure snapshots.
At its June 23 meeting the City of Mission approved multiple procurement and finance items, including contract awards and a presentation of unaudited financial data for May 2026.
Staff reported the evaluation of bond‑counsel proposals and recommended Cantu, Hart & Montoya LLP as the top‑ranked firm; the council authorized the co‑interim city manager to negotiate and execute a contract with the firm.
The council approved a two‑year contract for delinquent tax collection services with Lineberger, Guggen, Blair & Sampson LLP, effective through May 2028, at no cost to the city beyond the collection provisions specified in state law. Council also ratified a food‑truck concession agreement with Pineapple Ninjas LLC for operation at the Sherry Municipal Golf Course; compensation terms were identified as $600 per month or 5% of gross sales, whichever is higher, and the initial contract term is annual with an exclusive right under the current agreement but an option to reconsider nonexclusivity in the future.
Public Works staff requested authorization to re‑solicit bids for odor control chemicals for the sanitary sewer collection system (RFP No. 26‑168‑0105) because the previous solicitation had lapsed; council authorized re‑solicitation unanimously.
Finance staff presented unaudited financial statements for May 2026, reporting general fund revenues of $3,400,000 and expenditures reported as 4.25 (as stated in the presentation), producing an excess of expenditures over revenues of $810,000 for the month. Enterprise funds showed net positive balances for the utility fund, golf course, solid waste and the event center; staff characterized the item as presentation only.
Why this matters: Contract awards and procurement steps determine vendors that will deliver services, and the financial presentation offers a near‑term snapshot of city revenues and expenditures.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contracts, prepare procurement advertisements for the odor control chemicals solicitation, and continue financial monitoring and reporting.
