Title: APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL SPENDING REQUEST WITH RAFTELIS CONSULTING FOR PROFESSIONAL FACILITATION SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $15,000.
Summary
The City of Delray Beach is seeking approval for an additional $15,000 expenditure for professional facilitation services from Raftelis Consulting. This funding will support the city's annual goal-setting exercise, following previous engagements with the firm for strategic planning initiatives, including the Vision 2035 project. As the requested amount exceeds the City Manager's purchasing authority of $100,000, formal approval from the City Commission is required. The facilitation aims to enhance collaboration among city officials during a retreat scheduled for May 8, 2026. A summary report will be provided post-retreat to document outcomes. This legislation impacts city governance by ensuring structured dialogue and strategic planning among officials, fostering effective public service delivery.
