MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM:
Rick Conner, City Manager
DATE:
9/16/2010
RE:
The approval of a Resolution renewing the City's contract with Ron Book
for Professional Legislative Relations and Lobbying Services in an
amount not to exceed $60,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends approval of this Resolution renewing the City's contract with Ron
Book for Professional Legislative Relations and Lobbying Services in an amount not to
exceed $60,000.
REASONS:
During the Commission's Budget Workshop, the renewal of this contract was discussed
at length. The result was the request that the Mayor and City Manager meet with Mr.
Book and determine what services he might be able to provide to justify his fees. He
agreed to a reduction, and to pursue some legislative issues of importance to the City.
If the contract is renewed, we will closely monitor his progress on these issues and report
back to the Commission periodically to determine if it should be continued, possibly or
cancelled.
FUNDING SOURCE:
This item is funded out of City Manager's Account Number 10-512-53143B.
