Summary
Council pulled item 19 from the consent agenda—authorization to begin contract negotiations for RFP 30‑16 (CMAR services for the Moss Justice booking renovation)—and voted to defer the matter to the Jan. 5 meeting to allow members time to review procurement and local‑preference questions.
Council pulled item 19 from the consent agenda on Dec. 15 and deferred consideration of authorization to begin contract negotiations for RFP 30‑16 (construction manager at risk services for the Moss Justice booking renovation project) to the Jan. 5, 2026 meeting.
A councilmember said they had been out of pocket during the day and wanted additional time to ask questions about local‑preference policy and process; staff and a council member noted they were prepared to answer questions that evening but the requester preferred a two‑week delay. After discussion, a motion to defer to the Jan. 5 meeting carried by voice vote.
Next steps: procurement and project staff will prepare answers to specified questions and return the item on Jan. 5. The transcript records the RFP identifier (30‑16) and the deferral motion but does not include vote tallies.
