City Considers Consulting Contract

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Council will again consider a contract for consulting services with the Washington D.C. based Russ Reid Company. The City has used the company for the past few years to try an garner federal appropriations for projects, especially the Corporal Snedden Drive Overpass Project and the on going sanitary sewer rehabilitation project. Last fall, the Council approved an arrangement with former Economic Development Director Darrel Rensink for consulting services, including lobbying the Congressional Delegation. Since then, representatives of the Russ Reid Company made an offer to continue working with the city at a reduced rate.
