Pleasanton hears pitch from Interim Solutions as council seeks budget and staffing help; city clerk vacancy announced
Summary
Interim Solutions LLC offered interim clerk/finance placement, budget stabilization and recruitment services; council encouraged applications for the vacant city clerk post and discussed outside budget assistance while deferring a budget work session pending consultant input.
Jeff Hancock, president and CEO of Interim Solutions LLC, presented services to the Pleasanton City Council on July 6, offering interim city clerk and finance director placements, budget stabilization, goal setting and recruitment support. Hancock said Interim Solutions has 11 team leaders, seven former city managers and multiple finance professionals; he offered to assess Pleasanton's needs and prepare a proposal and follow-up Teams/Zoom meeting with the mayor.
The council separately announced the City Clerk position is open and encouraged public submission of resumes. Council members discussed options for external budget help: the audit firm can provide secondary review but not direct budget preparation; another consultant offered assistance if provided last and current year data; David Lamb was named as an individual who assists other cities and the county with budgets. Council agreed to await consultant feedback before scheduling a formal budget work session.
Mayor Mathew Young and others also clarified recent expenditures (including a $12,495 BG Consultants invoice covering multiple projects and an $8,000 equipment purchase described as two items at $4,000 each) as part of the finance overview. Jeff Hancock will prepare an assessment and follow up with the mayor to discuss scope and pricing.
