agreement for a longer term; or 2. Prepare to on-board as City employees Brian Sylvester

quickly and require retaining. The Council could also seek to negotiate new terms for a
no-bid contract if it is convinced that extension of the contract is preferable and that there
are no competitors for this service in the market.)
