Councilmember Carl-Mitchell told Council, "This is basically an amendment of the original resolution it's in the initiative process to an all repeat process to hire a leasing consultant for City lease space, helping in the consolidation of City services in the Council Chamber and later on following this there should be a possible RFP process to actually solicit bids for our solicit proposals for leasing in City space consolidation of City services and Council Chambers and later on following this will be a possible RFP process to actually solicit bids for or solicit proposals for leasing in the City space consolidation. Mr. Carrasco said, "Depending on the outcome of this cost benefit?" Councilmember Carl-Mitchell said yes. Motion Councilmember Carl-Mitchell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Humphrey to retain a leasing consultant to assist in leasing office space for consolidation of City services and Council Chambers. Mayor Cooksey asked "Does that have the same provisions that we looked at the other day? In executive session about this?" Councilmember Shipman asked, "Mayor, do you want that as a separate motion to direct the City Manager to issue the RFP? Do you want to include it in the resolution?" Mayor Cooksey answered, "I think the resolution, it doesn't state what the process is, it just states, 'commence the process'. I think it should relate to the process we agreed upon." He then referred to Councilmember Shipman's amendment. Councilmember Shipman said she wanted to read the amendment into the record. She said an item Q will be added. First Assistant City Attorney Jonathan Davis asked, "That's the RFP?" Councilmember Shipman said it was.

A proposer shall warrant and represent that he will not lobby, or meet or communicate with the Councilmembers with regard to the RFP or the selection of the finalist. The actual violation of this requirement may constitute grounds for determining that a proposal is non-responsive. However, this shall not preclude any interested party from appearing before the City Council under Citizen Communication to offer comments or criticism concerning the administration of the proposed process and/or the evaluation proposals and substitute recommendations made hereunder." Mr. Davis stated, "That's just the RFP, which is a process we initiated......"
