What is the contract between Soofa and the City of Brookline?
> Assistant town administrator Devon Fields, who led the implementation of the program before her recent departure from the position, [...] The town’s transportation division previously had an employee who worked directly with Soofa regarding data collection, but they left the department more than a year ago and have not been replaced. [...] the department has not been actively using information collected by the boards, [...] Fields will be the incoming deputy city manager of operations for the city of Chelsea.
Is that contract regretted by the city? If so, how much?
(The journalist seemed to hint that the program was a flop for Brookline, but didn't get much into that. For a career move, Chelsea is a different kind of Greater Boston city than Brookline is, so could be a more interesting challenge, or better growth opportunity.)
- internetter 3y ago> Is that contract regretted by the city? If so, how much? I haven't researched the exact terms of the contract, but it's possible the signs were pro-bono, as 1. Part of it is that advertisers can pay ~$100-$250 a month to display ads on these signs and I'm guessing soofa takes a cut 2. In Brookline, these were sponsored by Brookline Bank, so they get free advertising
