Councilmember Dehen reiterated that he didn't intend to "bash" Mr. Lasher, but feels the argument <br />could also be made that, for instance, the Ramsey Crossings project did not go through. He stated <br />that he just wants the process to be fair and is not questioning Mr. Lasher's competency. <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that there were other proposals, but Mr. Lasher's was the most <br />comprehensive. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that although the City did not put together an RFP, Mr. Lasher's <br />proposal pulled all of the elements together with a good package and he has a good track record <br />with the City. <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that she feels the City needs someone who understands the big <br />picture and can bring in others, when necessary. She stated that Mr. Lasher brings overall project <br />management to the City. <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that the other consultants were not at the table to tell us what they <br />could do. <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that the consultants were all given the same information, but <br />their proposals and what they felt they could do were all different. She stated that she is in favor <br />of asking LSA to bring back a revised proposal based on the discussion tonight of a possible phased <br />approach after the financing is understood. <br />City Administrator Ulrich suggested that another meeting be held next Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at <br />5:00 p.m. <br />MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br />None <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The Work Session of the City Council was adjourned at 6:08 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Kurtis G.
