Cohen, City Manager <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />12/15/2011 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Approval of a Lobbyist Contract with Ronald L. Book, Esquire <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />Approve the contract <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The City has decided to retain the services of Mr. Book as its primary state lobbyist. The <br />contract establishes the retainer fee and working relationship between Mr. Book and the <br />City. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />Given the lack of state and federal funding opportunities for the City to take advantage <br />of, the City decided that it was not cost effective to continue paying for full-time <br />lobbying services. On the other hand, the City recognizes that issues might arise in the <br />legislature that would impact the City and the City would want to ensure its position is <br />appropriately represented. <br /> <br />The contract with Mr. Book is for retaining him and providing minimal services to the <br />City. If in the future the City would like Mr. Book to work on a more substantive project, <br />the City would negotiate with Mr. Book an additional fee for those services. <br /> <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> <br />Funding is available in account number 10-512-5317. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/agenda/Preview .aspx?I temID=664&MeetingID=0&MeetingDate... 12/9/2011 <br />
