A long-time lobbyist could continue to fight for City Hall before state officials.

Shaw/Yoder Inc., which has represented the municipality since 1986, is expected to stick around for at least another five years as the council will be asked to sign another long-term deal.

If approved, the first year of the contract will not exceed $42,350.

The lobbyist has represented City Hall on issues related to housing homeless veterans and transportation funding.
