Board approves $67,000, three-year Predictive Index contract for hiring and training

Brady Laux, the city's director of human resources, told the Board the Predictive Index is "a behavioral assessment that we use for our organization" and presented a three-year contract intended to lock in a rate for the city. He said the contract totals $67,000—$22,000 per year—and that the tool is used beyond hiring for conflict resolution and leadership training.

Board members asked how the tool would be used. Board member Nick Snoply said he was "super familiar with the PI," and members described value in improving communication among staff with different work styles. After discussion the Chair called for a motion; the motion was made, seconded and the Board voted to approve the three-year Predictive Index contract.

The contract will be executed as presented; no additional funding breakdown or vendor amendment was discussed at the meeting.
