Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 2, 2019 Page 21 the general public and even some of the surrounding residents around the campus, which is where the committee felt LHB's proposal and level of engagement was clear from the beginning from the proposal and interview questions. Councilmember Etten asked when the city is doing a best value process, is there a point area for the interview portion. Mr. Culver explained it depends on the defined best value process and staff did not define a specific point value for the interviews.

Once again, he would be curious to know what some of the people that have worked with Zan Associates feel about their engagement because Rose- ville has never worked with them. Also, some of the projects that BKV pointed
