<br />Councilmember Dehen stated that he doesn't think it needs to be one firm that does both <br />servIces. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that she thinks there is some value in having them at <br />the same firm. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that he agreed but feels there are also times there would be value <br />in having them at separate firms. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone asked who will make the criteria for us to say what makes a good <br />lawyer when a hiring decision needs to be made. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson noted that on page 13 there is a pretty detailed portion that <br />lays this out. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone asked if an attorney has looked at the RFP or where the language of <br />the RFP came from. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that she looked at RFPs used by other cities and took <br />a compilation from those documents. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that he didn't read through this in detail, but his preference is <br />having a prosecution attorney that has some experience rather that someone with little or no <br />expenence. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that the reality is when you talk about prosecution at that level; it <br />is basically entry-level prosecution. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey stated that he feels these issues should be discussed after the City gets the RFP's <br />back. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that he would like to see a question raised with regard to timeliness <br />in the RFP. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that this is outlined on the bottom of page 11 and <br />noted that there isn't a good tracking system right now and this is something that the City would <br />like to have. She stated that there could be more specific information included. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that he would like it included so they know up front what the <br />expectation is for things like response time to the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wise stated that with Councilmember Dehen's being an attorney, he will <br />probably know quite a few of the people that may submit an RFP, which he feels will give the <br />City an advantage. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / February 3, 2009 <br />Page 12 of 15 <br />
