Mayor LeTourneau stated that this process has worked very well for many years, noting that this <br /> process is cost and time efficient. He stated that the City consistently finds the rates within the <br /> market range through this process, without having to go through the lengthy RFP process. He <br /> referenced the subjective measures that are not included, including the institutional knowledge <br /> that these consultants have gained through their relationship in working with the City. He stated <br /> that changing consultants results in a loss of that institutional knowledge. He stated that there <br /> are also costs and staff time required to go through an RFP process and causes disruption in the <br /> planning department, focusing their efforts on that rather than the planning and development <br /> cases. He stated that he would also support the extension of three years. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma referenced the graph showing fluctuation throughout the years. He <br /> stated that the City is working well with the consultants and the institutional knowledge is key in <br /> having a streamlined process. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Shryock, to Adopt Resolution <br /> #19-032 Extending Certain Community Development Professional Services Contracts, selecting <br /> option one. <br /> Motion carried.
