SUMMARY:
In 2014 the City Council approved the latest amendment to Section 3-3-2 of the City Code under Ordinance No. 19-14.
Currently, the City purchases the services of Lobbyist and/or Lobbying services for a variety of functions on behalf of the City. This amendment would not alter the ability to procure such services, but rather, in a measure of transparency would require such services be secured via a written contract while requiring the City’s governing body to approve such contracts.
