Description
Background:
On May 29, 2019 and December 9, 2019 the Town Council approved two resolutions pertaining to the community vision and values project. The two resolutions addressed seeking the assistance of a professional consultant to work with the public to develop a vision and values for the Town using robust public input.
In December the Town prepared, and widely distributed, a draft Request for Qualifications (RFQ). In January the Town received thirteen submissions in response to the RFQ. In February an ad hoc Review Team consisting of two Councilors, Town Manager, and Director of Long Range Planning, reviewed all submissions and interviewed six consulting firms. The Review Team recommended Future iQ as the best qualified candidate.
At the February 24, 2020 Council meeting, the Council expressed support for staff to work with Future iQ to develop a draft Scope of Services and cost proposal.
Current Status:
At this meeting, the Council will consider an order to approve a supplemental appropriation of $63,000 from unassigned fund balance for Future iQ to assist the Town with the community vision and values project (attached).
