<br />Councilmember Dehen stated that there are all kinds of firms that are quite a distance <br />from the City they serve. If you send out RFP's and you limit where they can be from, <br />the process is unfair. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that we have determined that this is an issue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look suggested have them come in and we will do the interviews. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated he will not participate in the decision-making but he can <br />offer input. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey felt that in today's world with email, etc. distance is not a big factor. <br /> <br />Mr. Ulrich stated there are potential logistics problems but give them a chance to answer <br />questions about that. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone asked about the interview process. <br /> <br />Mr. Ulrich stated it will be 15 to 20 minute interviews - five questions each. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson stated that maybe the Council would be more comfortable with six. We <br />talked about logistics - now we should add back in some of the others that were split <br />votes - others that were eliminated. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey suggested having staff ask the questions and Council just listen. <br /> <br />3) Ludwig Leadership Award <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated the League of Minnesota cities has a Ludwig Leadership <br />Award for elected officials that have a careet of long serving the cities, etc. We thought <br />it would be good to recommend Tom Gamec. We will bring that back to the Council for <br />support. It's a good chance to get a positive promotion for Ramsey. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Consensus was to adjourn the work session. <br /> <br />The City Council Work Session was adjourned at 9:35 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />/&~ {;;~- Q <br /> <br />Kurtis G.
