Full summary

On April 6, 2026, the Mayor, through the City Administrative Officer, proposed a contract with Thomson Reuters, West Publishing Corporation to provide tax audit case selection and management system services to the Office of Finance's Audit Division. The contract is structured as a three-year term with one two-year option to extend, for a cumulative maximum of five years, at a total cost not to exceed $2,894,039. The stated goal of the contract is to increase the effectiveness of the city's audit selection process, specifically to raise both the number of productive audits completed and the average revenue recovered per audit. On the fiscal side, $124,000 in first-year funding has already been set aside in the Office of Finance's Contractual Services Account. Funding for the remainder of the first year and all subsequent years is subject to annual approval through the Mayor and Council's budget process. The City Administrative Officer noted no additional impact to the General Fund beyond what is already appropriated. The Budget and Finance Committee considered the proposal at a special meeting on April 13, 2026, voting 4-0 in favor (with one member absent) and forwarding it to the full Council. The Council adopted the contract on April 22, 2026, by a vote of 12-0-3, with three members absent or not voting. The City Clerk recorded final Council action on May 5, 2026. The file is now closed and the contract is authorized for execution by the Director of the Office of Finance, subject to City Attorney review and approval as to form.
