Public Comment (Agenda Items): No members of the public wished to speak on consent agenda items. Public Forum (Non-Agenda Items):
Starting a little later. We have a light agenda. Generally liked. Appreciate our visitors here. As we always do, we'll start with our consent agenda items, council. 10, 11, and 12 are minutes. Get some catch-up minutes as well as uh minutes from the last meeting. Any questions on the minutes? Yes, I had one comment. Um on the May 8th meeting minutes. Um in the first paragraph, there's a minor edit. Um I'm put March in it supposed to be May. So just if you'll for that one, just say as amended. As amended, yep. Okay. So on the uh consent consent uh motion as as a for item 11, yeah. Any other questions? Yes. Specifically number one, um what specific traits did the council uh did we identify as a kind of a key to effective governance? So I guess my question is uh did we did we have someone notate kind of the the key objectives for effective governance the facilitator might hop those notes, but no, that'll be all right, council. That takes us to item number 13. Consider authorizing the city manager to reject all proposals received for RFP 25027 headless CMS mobile app development uh project. Uh original was 120k um rejecting it. Um based on failure to come up with terms and conditions acceptable any questions. Yes, does this mean that we're going to keep then the existing CMS or are we gonna continue looking for other options? Good question. We found another solution and saved about a hundred thousand dollars. Well done. Is that that doesn't need to come for us then? It's much less, it's about twenty-six thousand dollars, so it won't necessarily need to come forward. Fantastic, thank you. So um my question is in regards to the timing. I saw in the notes that this was uh bid and um received in January. And the rejection is just coming to us now in July. Is there a reason for the delay? They tried to negotiate and reached a stalemate. So it was our the process they used they could negotiate with the final vendor and they couldn't reach consensus on terms. So that's why it's taking so long to go to you. So uh submissions were due on the 27th. There's typically then the betting process, right? Followed by the contract contracting process. What was the budget for this item? 120k.
