Issue Brief
What this covers
- Status: open - First raised: 2026-06-01 - Last raised: 2026-06-15 - Recurrence count: 2
Why it matters
- Council is trying to clarify when the city should use RFP/RFQ processes, who decides the scope and selection criteria, and how existing consultant and contract relationships fit under the purchasing/procurement policy. - The issue broadened on June 15 beyond planning consultant selection: public comment raised Blackbird Museum contract concerns, and council discussed planners, consultants, attorneys, arborists, bylaws, and administrative vs. council authority.
What resolution means
- Resolved when City Council adopts or reaffirms a procurement/RFP policy that specifies scope-setting, decision authority, and treatment of recurring professional-service contracts.
