Summary
Council approved a contract for communications and public-engagement services with Mindy York by unanimous vote; staff correspondence in the packet listed a fiscal impact of $337,800, while the motion and approved contract were for a not-to-exceed $37,800 drawn from the TOT fund.
Staff presented a recommendation to retain consultant Mindy York to support public outreach, social media and content services based on prior collaboration with the city clerk. In the staff presentation the fiscal impact was stated as “$337,800” and identified the TOT (transient occupancy tax) fund as the source. The presenter described successful past video and social-media work that generated high public engagement.
Councilor Middleton moved to approve the contract with a not-to-exceed amount of $37,800 for communications, public engagement and content services; Council member McCoy seconded the motion and the council approved it unanimously. The council did not vote on the larger figure in the staff slide; staff and council members acknowledged the discrepancy during discussion.
