City Council Minutes Tuesday, June 6, 2017

that they have the ability to provide services. He noted that they were the top candidate. With
no further requests to speak, Mayor Roberson closed public comments.

change course.

respect the integrity of the RFP, and he likes the idea of having multiple providers and a
competitive environment. He asked what the challenges would be with rotating more than two
vendors. Mr. Phillips said that storage space and staffing for the vendors would present a major
challenge.

the funds are expended.
