From the meeting
The council appointed Andre Bottoms as the city's non-elected police chief and administered the oath at the July 20, 2026 meeting. He said he will focus on honesty, transparency, listening, and a department culture that reflects community values and accountability. That leadership change can drive new public safety priorities, staffing needs, and future technology or service purchases.

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.
