Body
SUMMARY:
The former City Financial Advisor (Stifel Nicolaus and Company) elected to discontinue providing municipal advisory services. The City issued RFP 11-19 soliciting proposals from qualified firms interested in providing financial advisory services to the City.
Two proposals were received from Hilltop Securities and Public Resources Advisory Group, Inc.
The Selection Committee determined that both firms were well qualified to provide quality service to the City and that there is significant value in having both firms available to the City. Therefore, the committee unanimously recommends the Council award five-year agreements to both firms.
The cost for their services are very similar and will be paid from proceeds of any future financing transactions.
