<br /> <br /> Memo <br /> <br />To: Sue Iverson – Acting City Administrator <br /> <br />From: Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers <br /> <br />Date: August 29, 2016 <br />Subject: TCAAP Communications Consultant <br /> <br /> <br />On June 20, 2016, the City Council directed staff to work with a sub-committee of the <br />Communications Committee to seek proposals from firms to assist the City in developing a <br />communications strategy for TCAAP. On August 9, 2016, the Mayor, Council Member <br />Wicklund, Sue Iverson and Stacie Kvilvang interviewed the following four (4) firms: <br /> <br />1. Davis Communications <br />2. Zipko Strategies & Connolly Kuhl Group <br />3. Garvey Communications; and <br />4. Himle Rapp <br /> <br />Based upon the interviews, the group is recommending moving forward with Zipko <br />Strategies & Connolly Kuhl Group. They are currently putting together a proposal for staff <br />to review for development of a communications work plan and key message development. <br />We anticipate coming back to the Council in a work session to discuss audience <br />identification and desired issues to prepare various communications on. <br /> <br />However, prior to review of the formal proposal and work session with the Council, it is <br />anticipated that the City will engage their services for various requests (i.e. newsletter <br />articles, press releases, response to media inquiries, etc.). They will bill for these on an <br />hourly basis at a rate of $175/hour. <br /> <br />Please contact me at 651-697-8506 with any questions.
