THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The council will discuss and possibly act on a proposal from McGrath Consulting Group to conduct a Police Chief executive search. This shows the City is actively considering outside professional services to manage a key public safety leadership recruitment. Competing search firms and HR consultants still have a narrow window to engage council or management if the proposal is not yet approved or if supplementary assessment and onboarding services are desired.
Depending on council action, McGrath may become the incumbent for this search; timing is immediate.

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.
