The city is approving the fourth amendment to its contract with Hilltop Securities, Inc. for municipal financial advisory services. This amendment adds $150,000 to the contract, bringing the new total to $1,350,000. It also extends the contract term by nine months to a new end date of September 30, 2026. Hilltop Securities has served as the city's financial advisor since 2018, providing guidance on non-airport financial obligations, including Excise Tax Revenue Bonds, General Obligation Bonds, and Certificates of Participation. The extension ensures continuity for ongoing financial transactions while the Department of Finance prepares a comprehensive RFP for a new contract, expected in Q1/Q2 2026.
