Committee recommends Pinnacle Financial Partners for city banking services

Margaret presented the procurement results for comprehensive banking services (purchase order/procurement solicitation 2026‑014, contract 2026‑0159) and recommended that the committee present a contract award recommendation to the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen for Pinnacle Financial Partners of Nashville, the incumbent bank. Staff said the city received approximately nine bids and conducted a thorough review; Margaret also introduced Wesley Wright as the city’s new purchasing manager and said Wright will present next month as well.

The committee moved to forward the procurement recommendation to the full board and approved that recommendation by roll call (Alman Peterson yes; Alman Brown yes; Chair yes). Staff did not present the final contract amount in the committee remarks; the agenda text referenced estimated annual interest earnings and fees but some numeric entries in the transcript appear garbled and should be confirmed in the published procurement record.
