Councilmember Salas pulled item 3. Councilmember Salas asked about the scope of
work and performance of services that the Wilson Group provides over and above
what the City's staff provides. She also expressed concern that there might be
a conflict of interest as they also provide services for other municipalities.
Colleen Kelly, Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator, stated that during the
initial transition there were some problems, but the W~lson Group was extremely
determined to meet the needs of the City. At no time did the City's requirements
suffer because the Wilson Group represents other jurisdictions, there was never
a conflict of interest.

Mayor Horton stated that she would recommend approving the agreement for one year
instead of two years in order to reevaluate their performance.
Colleen Kelly replied that traditionally a two-year period was agreed upon to
coincide with the two-year legislation sessions. But there is no reason why it
can't be structured on a yearly basis.
Glen Googins conferred that there was no reason why we couldn't offer the one
year extension, but it would be the Wilson Group's prerogative to accept or
decline the extension.
