<br />M/S Hartnett/Pierce to adopt recommendation two. <br /> <br />Council Member Hartnett spoke to the fact that the RFP included treating the unions with <br />fairness. He believes the sorters will be addressed at a later time. He would prefer having <br />them in the bargaining unit. He explained that the evaluation committee looked at various <br />factors and not just cost. Another Council Member came to a different conclusion <br />because he does not think SBR met the qualifications. He did not approve the attack on <br />Mr. Kaufman by the Hudson Baylor Corporation person. Council Member Ira asked that all <br />parties involved maintain the highest level of respect. He did not find appropriate attacking <br />the competitor just because there are divergent messages. He will vote no because he <br />does not feel comfortable. Vice Mayor Howard thanked the evaluation committee for its <br />work and supports the recommendation. Mayor Foust thanked the selection committee <br />and Mr. Ponty but she will not support the motion. <br /> <br />There was a tie on the motion with Council Members Foust, Bain and Aguirre opposing <br />and Council Members Howard, Pierce and Hartnett voting yes and Council Member <br />Hartnett absent.

Some Council Members said it was hard to select <br />one company because both companies are competent. One Council Member spoke to the <br />fact that he was not impressed with the comments tonight. Based on these comments <br />Mayor Foust withdrew her motion and the second agreed. <br /> <br />M/SPierce/Bain to extend the meeting to 12: 15 a.m. Motion carries 6-0 by voice vote <br />with Council Member Ira absent. <br /> <br />One Council Member was not impressed with the attacks and the fact that the companies <br />did not highlight the positive. It was mentioned that the revisions to the bid were <br />concerning. <br /> <br />M/S Bain/Hartnett to direct staff to vote in favor of Hudson Baylor Corporation. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Howard stated that the best choice for the rate payer is SBR and the savings <br />are important and so she will not support the motion. Mayor Foust will not support the <br />motion because she can't support either company at this time. She would prefer that this <br />be phrased differently.
