Civic Center Project: Discussion--Memos distributed. It was the consensus of Council that public testimony would be taken at today's meeting. Betty Smith noted a possible conflict of interest and would, therefore, abstain from discussion and voting. However, she hoped that the process for consideration of selection of the architect could be as open as possible, noting it to be a very important process. She also hoped Council would look for a qualified architect for this project. Also, she said she hoped Council would take seriously the interest of the citizens - in the community and listen to their input. She noted the high interest this item held for her and her participation in the project over the past few years. She hoped Council would be very professional and thoughtful in its considerations. She was then excused from this portion of the meeting. Assistant Manager noted that the Chairman of the Civic Center Commission had requested guidance from the City Council, as he wanted to ensure that judgments and decisions made affecting the project would be supported by all involved. Assistant Manager then summarized staff's memorandum outlining a three-step process. Step 1: To identify the criteria to be used in selecting an architect and consultants on the project, and to determine whether or not it would be a local architect. Staff was attempting to keep the process open, objective, and allow public input within the time restraints and escalating costs. Step 2: To determine the relationship between the Council, the Civic Center Commission, and staff: Considerations would be whether or not to request new proposals, to establish a screening committee to review proposals and to make recommendations for final review selection by the City Council and Civic Center Commission. Step 3: To determine the ongoing relationship between the Council and Commission through the construction phase: A matrix graph was distributed to Council, and a request that Councilors complete and return it as soon as possible. The results would then be summarized and presented at the e August 2 meeting. 7/19/78--6 5~ I
