From the meeting
The council accepted the city manager contract with Jennifer Watkins effective November 1, 2026. The packet says the city had finished its search and that Watkins was selected to replace the interim arrangement. This is a personnel buying trigger because a new manager is now in place and the city had already identified comprehensive plan implementation, water resiliency, asset management, and emergency preparedness as priorities.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
