Proposal update  Report to the Common Council  Timeline The March 7 report to the Common Council was accepted. ▪ Timeline: o Shambarger reported that the marketing contract proposals will be reviewed between March 21 and April 15. Kraig, Ritger, Shambarger, and Evans will score the applications after the Purchasing Department reviews the applications for eligibility. o The Fuse Fellow interviews will take place Tuesday, March 22 with Omokunde, Evans, and Shambarger. Shambarger responded in affirmative to Frank’s inquiry whether the Fuse Fellow can take on responsibility for expanding community outreach at the grassroots level. o A June deadline for initial publication of the full proposal may be overly ambitious. o Concerns were raised about how to get the Climate and Equity Plan implemented given the current budget process.
