Report
Summary
These contracts will allow the City to provide in-person, telephone and written interpretation and translation services on an as-needed basis. Interpreter and translation services are provided during public, private and community meetings and events in addition to emergency and non-emergency situations.

Contract Term
Upon approval the contract will be extended through Oct. 17, 2024.
Financial Impact
