City, staff is not making a recommendation, but suggested that Council treat each
proposal individually by perhaps ranking each on by score, not comparison. He
suggested that they develop a process for selection and does not suggest closing off
negotiations, but to instruct staff to improve proposal by detail or addition of dollars.
He also reminded Council that there is an option to recess to Closed Session for
further discussion.
