Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
Mr. Kash Trivedi is a Smyrna resident with a boutique firm focusing on government affairs efforts before the Georgia General Assembly and Executive Branch. Mr. Trivedi is a seasoned government affairs consultant with ideal relationships with the leadership in both the State House and Senate Chambers.
Mayor & Council propose the professional engagement of a government affairs consultant to represent the City of Smyrna before the Georgia Legislature and the Executive Branch. As our city manages the city budget and projects over the next few years, the need for possible state funds and assistance is anticipated. The services of the government affairs consultant would begin August 1, 2020 and continue for 12 months, and would be strictly before the Georgia General Assembly, Administration and State departments. There would be no federal government activity.
RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION: Approval to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with a City of Smyrna Government Affairs Consultant, Mr. Kash Trivedi and to have the Mayor execute all related documents.
