MEMO <br /> DATE : July 7, 2000 <br /> TO : Honorable Mayor and Council <br /> FROM: Jim March <br /> RE : City Finance Advisor Review <br /> Included in your packet is a copy of a statement of qualifications for financial advisory <br /> services from the firm of Juran and Moody. This firm has been trying to gain the City's <br /> business for the last four years. I am wondering if the Council is interested in receiving a <br /> quote on the Hunter's Crossing bond issue from both the fine of Ehlers and Juran and <br /> Moody. <br /> I would be reluctant to have another firm perform our tax increment work, but I think that <br /> Ehlers has done little to try to keep our bond work. I also think that they are not quite as <br /> responsive as they used to be. I know that they are working more and more with larger <br /> municipalities and we are probably a smaller client on their customer list. I am aware <br /> that some other communities work with more than one financial advisor. In my opinion, <br /> it keeps the consultants honest. I had worked with Juran and Moody in Sherburn and felt <br /> that they provided a good service. This item is simply for discussion purposes. <br />
