Commission tables decision on consultant travel and extra hours pending invoice details
Summary
After debate over reallocating funds to cover consultant travel and additional consultation through July, the commission voted to table any funding moves until staff provides detailed invoices and a burn-rate breakdown from the consultant.
Commissioners reviewed a consulting proposal (noted as Stan/Total Engagement Consulting) and debated whether to reallocate funds from existing line items (the resource guide and 'You Belong Hutto') to cover consultant travel and additional hours through July.
Some commissioners proposed moving $500 from the resource guide and $500 from the 'You Belong' line item into consulting; others requested a clearer accounting of consultant hours and invoices before shifting funds. Staff and commissioners repeatedly asked for a breakdown of hours billed against the 15 consulting hours budget and any travel caps specified by the consultant.
Because key invoice and burn-rate information was not yet available, the commission moved to table any funding decision until staff obtains Stan's invoices and a clearer breakdown of hours and expenses. Staff will request the consultant's invoice detail and report back before any reallocation is approved.
