Committee sets RFI timeline and discusses selection‑committee rules
Summary
County staff told the committee the RFI was posted in mid‑June with respondent questions due July 8, answers due July 20 and submissions due Aug. 5; members discussed how to structure a review committee and public‑meeting implications for subcommittees.
County staff presented the schedule for a request for information and members discussed how to conduct the review without violating open‑meeting requirements.
Robin, the staff member who presented the RFI update, said the RFI was advertised June 18 and June 24, is on the county website and in the News Journal; she gave a schedule: questions due July 8, published answers by July 20, submissions due Aug. 5 and a tentative committee review on Aug. 12. The chair and other members agreed Aug. 12 would serve as the date to review submissions and decide whether to move to an RFP.
Members asked whether a small selection committee should perform scoring and whether that would trigger public‑meeting rules. A staff advisor cautioned that a selection committee “would not be a public body unless it had a quorum number of a public body,” and members discussed tradeoffs between a small scoring panel and conducting reviews in the committee’s full public session. Several members said they prefer receiving scoring materials in advance and meeting as a group on Aug. 12 to discuss results and vote.
Committee staff said they will provide a scoring sheet so reviewers understand criteria; staff also said they will publish answers to respondent questions by July 20 and can adjust deadlines if necessary.
Next steps: Staff will accept questions through July 8, post answers by July 20, accept submissions through Aug. 5 at 2 p.m., and present submissions for collective review on Aug. 12 (subject to schedule adjustments).
