Mr. Paschke noted that a revised resolution was provided as a bench handout, at- tached hereto and made a part hereof; allowing for a new Condition A, and out- lined in Sections 4, 6 and 7 of the RCA, at the recommendation of the City Attor- ney. Mr. Paschke advised that a new Condition D speaking to the park dedication requirement had been included, following recommendation by the Parks and Recreation Commission at their August meeting, recommending payment in lieu of land,based on 5% of the fair market value as per code requirements. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Paschke confirmed that the City Council had taken action on the Preliminary Plat already at a previous meeting; and that staff would also be bringing forward the Public Improvement Contract tied to and rec- orded with this plat for City Council action in the near future. Councilmember Pust commended the City Attorney for his recommendations in adding Conditions A and D to the resolution to memorialize it in the recorded documents. Johnson moved, Willmus seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10937 (Attach- ment D) entitled, "A Resolution Approving the Final Plat of the Highcrest Park Third Addition (PF 11-020;"with additional conditions as amended. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Pust; McGehee; Johnson; and Roe. Nays: None. Councilmember Willmus asked staff, for future reference, to identify bench hand- outs with the item to which they refer. h. Consider Awarding Contract for Architectural Services for Fire Station Fire Chief Tim O'Neill summarized the process and evaluation through best value practices of Requests for Proposals for architectural services, the five (5) finalists and subsequent interview process and scoring, as detailed in the RCA dated Sep- tember 26, 2011. Councilmember McGehee questioned the best value practice process used for this and how it compared to previous proposals for other projects, such as the geo- thermal project, as well as how it compared or did not compare to the Arizona State University (ASU) program that had been instituted for that project. Coun- cilmember McGehee expressed concern with the process and scoring categories and weighting, opining that the interview portion apparently held more weight, creating a larger spread and unequal disparity.
