Mr. Patterson spoke about SBR's Sun Valley facility. He said that the level of attention to <br /> detail was impressive. Mr. Patterson stated that controlling the cost, while maximizing the <br /> retrieval of the waste stream, are goals that SBR seemed to meet. He added that to the <br /> best of his knowledge SBR would respect the labor agreements and from a site visit they <br /> are efficient and detailed in their operations. <br /> M/S Pierce/Hartnett to extend the meeting until midnight. Motion carries 6-0 by voice <br /> vote with Council Member Ira absent. <br /> M/S Hartnett/Pierce to adopt recommendation two. <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 /> 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. Motion fails with Council Member Ira absent. <br /> M/S Foust/Aguirre to approve recommendation one and leave the vote up to the <br /> representative (Mr. Ponty). <br /> Two Council Members thought it be best for Council to make the decision instead of <br /> having staff make the determination. 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> M/S Bain/Hartnett to direct staff to vote in favor of Hudson Baylor Corporation. <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.
