Body
Issue/Request:
Earlier this year the Legislative and Intergovernmental Relations Committee expressed a desire for the City to become more active in lobbying and tracking efforts related to the Missouri Legislature. In October, after discussion with the Committe Chair, the Law Department issued an RFQ for lobbying services as attached to this packet. The City received eleven responses all of which were found to be qualified and responsive. After review the Committee recommended The Britton Group, LLC. This ordinance Awards the RFQ to the Britton Group, LLC. and approves the agreement. This agreement provides for a yearly expenditure of $9,000.00 and may be renewed for two additional one year terms.
