MEMORANDUM
DATE: 4/29/2004
TO: VII,LAGE MANAGER MICHAEL R COUZZO
FROM: MARY MILES, VII,LAGE CLERK
RE: CONSENT AGENDA -PUBLIC AFFAIRS CONSULTANTS/ARGENT PAYMENTS
CONSENT AGENDA: 1. CONTINUE TO UTILIZE OUR LOBBYIST
(PUBLIC AFFAIRS CONSULTAN'TS) ON A
MONTH-TO-MONTH BASIS AT THE PRICE OF
$3000.OU PER MONTH.
2. CONTINUE TO UTILIZE ARGENT SYSTEMS,
INC. ON AN AS NEEDED HOURLY BASIS AT
THE PRICE OF $?5.00 PER HOUR
Regarding payments to employ Public Affairs Consultants, our Finance Director has notified me
that our Village Attorney advised the Public Affairs Consultants contract has expired, so there is no
binding contract per se, that requires Council approvat. However, our attorney feels we should place
under "Consent Agenda" to continue to utilize our lobbpist on a month-to-month basis at the price
of $3000.00 per month.
The situation is the same with Argent, Inc.: they have reached the masimum level of papment
for a contract before it requires Council approval. We do not have a contract; however, and pay
them at an hourly raxe of $75.00 for computer maintenance services.
