BUSINESS 1. APPOINTMENT OF PARK DEVELOPER FIRST AND "C"
STREET PARK SITE
In response to questions, Jack Harrison stated that
the Selection Committee had determined that VTN was
the best qualified of the three or four qualified
firms, for this project at this time, on the basis
of' their financial proposal and ability to perform
all services in house. It could coordinate the pro-
ject in a more expeditious manner, considering the
time limitations on ,development of this park.
Mayor pro tem C. Miller noted that VTN, as a firm,
has not yet completed any park projects, and while
the individuals slated to work on this project are
experienced in this field, VTN's organizational
problems are such that the individuals starting the
project may not be the ones to see it to completion.
He felt that the firm, in its diversity, has not yet
proven itself in the field of landscape architecture.
He would not be inclined to vote in favor of VTN.
In response to Councilmen's questions, Mr. Harrison
said that, looking at individuals and the firm as a
whole, it was felt that VTN had the resources to get
the job done. He sald that he had not worked with
Jones and Peterson, but that they have completed
several local parks. They have not done a park with
baseball diamonds, etc., however, and are experienced
primarily with lands.cape architecture. They considered
the development schedule a workable one. Herrera is
a relatively new firm. Mr. Harrison indicated that
Gene Uematsu of the 'Development Preview Commission,
a member of the Selection Committee, preferred a
small firm--rather than having one firm do the whole
project--as greater creativity would result.
Councilmen Marsters and Oster agreed that they would
not object to awarding the contract to a firm other
than VTN.
Moved by Oster, seconded by Marsters that the Mayor
and City Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement
in a form satisfact0~y to the City Attorney, with
Jones and Peterson. i Carried unanimously.
