Votes and actions at a glance: RFQ for accounting and hiring approvals

Two formal actions were recorded in the emergency meeting.

1) RFQ for professional accounting services: The council voted to proceed with a request for qualifications to select a Utah‑licensed accounting firm to serve as accountant of record. The RFQ requires municipal accounting experience, compliance with state and federal funding rules (including Davis‑Bacon) and sets an August 5 submission deadline. The motion to proceed passed by voice vote.

2) Hiring recommendations for a community engagement/communications coordinator: The council approved hiring recommendations for a part‑time communications coordinator (personnel names withheld on privacy grounds). The role was described as up to about five hours per week; members approved proceeding on a trial basis by voice vote.

Both items were approved by voice vote; the transcript records multiple "Aye" responses but does not provide a roll call tally for individual members. Staff was directed to publish the RFQ, accept proposals by Aug 5 and convene a working session on Aug 11 to score submissions; staff will also onboard the coordinator on a trial basis and report back to council.
