COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />7.00: Consider Professional Services Contract Extension for the Tinklenberg Group <br />(Previously Agenda Item 7.03) <br />City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report and recommendation to consider the <br />proposed contract extension with the Tinklenberg Group for 12 months, through June 30, 2019. <br />He noted that the alternative direction the Council may take includes shortening the term of the <br />contract, not approving the contract, or seeking other proposals. He noted that either of those <br />alternatives would result in a loss of momentum toward accomplishment of the stated goals and <br />therefore recommended continuation of the contract. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that the City has been using a six-month contract and suggested <br />that the City continue to do a six-month contract at $3,300 per month. He noted that a clause <br />could be added allowing renewal of the next six months. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that while he likes the option, the next six months does not include <br />the legislative session which is when the most action is needed. He explained that the 12-month <br />contract averages the lower and higher rate months to provide a steady rate each month. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau asked for additional input on a 12-month calendar and the work that <br />occurs during the non -legislative session months. <br />Elwin Tinklenberg stated that this year will be different because a significant amount of the work <br />this summer and fall uses some of the money that has been gotten the past few years. He stated <br />that the City will be working with the Bolton & Menk consultants and looking at options with <br />City Council / July 10, 2018 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />
