MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Fabel seconded a motion to Approve the Professional Services Agreement with Dave Perrault. Mayor Grant thanked Mr. Perrault for being willing to offer consulting services to the City. He explained he was torn between taking Mr. Perrault's time as he would be moving on to a new career. He suggested Item 2 be amended to state the maximum number of hours be 32 hours per month. AMENDMENT: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to amend Item 2 stating the maximum number of consulting hours per month shall be no more than 32 hours. Councilmember Monson questioned where 32 hours came from. Mayor Grant stated the initial contract specified $4,000 per month and then it was rewritten to be $125 per hour and if this hourly rate is divided out, it becomes 32 hours per month. Councilmember Monson asked if staff believed 32 hours would be sufficient.
