In a recent government meeting, the housing committee outlined a timeline for evaluating proposals from two firms vying for a city project. The committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday to formulate questions for the proposers, with responses expected by the city council meeting on December 2. Councilor Butler raised the question of whether the firms would attend the December meeting, to which it was indicated that their presence would depend on the specificity of the questions posed.

The council emphasized the importance of engaging with the developers early in the process to avoid a lengthy discussion during the decision-making meeting on December 16. Council members were encouraged to submit their questions to the city manager ahead of the Thursday meeting to ensure a comprehensive and non-redundant inquiry.

The council aims for a robust dialogue on December 2, allowing for any necessary follow-up discussions before the final selection on December 16. The meeting concluded with appreciation for city staff who meticulously reviewed the extensive proposals submitted by the firms, highlighting the significant effort involved in the evaluation process.
