"I was disappointed to see on tonight's consent calendar item #15- $2 million for on- call consultants. In this era of tight budgeting and budget cuts, "on-call consultants" should be one of the first things to go.

Plus many members of the public and the
press have expressed dismay at the amount this city spends on consultant's already.

Having such an important topic on consent seems a bit tone deaf to me. The City does not appear to be listening to the residents or the press.

Please pull this item."

Dear Mayor Lauing and City Council Members:

I was disappointed to see on tonight's consent calendar item #15- $2 million for on-call consultants. In this era of tight budgeting and budget cuts, "on-call consultants" should be one of the first things to go.

Plus many members of the public and the press have expressed dismay at the amount this city spends on consultant's already. Having such an important topic on consent seems a bit tone deaf to me. The City does not appear to be listening to the residents or the press.

Please pull this item.

Thank you.
