Based on previous work with <br />Novak which includes lots of community feedback, staff recommends approval. <br />Public Comments — None <br />Councilmember Loo cautioned that the more we use only one certain firm the Tess likely <br />we will get others to bid as vendors; they feel they won't get the contract and don't bid. <br />We need to actively solicit others for projects like this in the future. <br />Councilmember Maloney stated he doesn't generally support sole source on principle, <br />but feels Novak is competent and won't get any added value from an RFP process. <br />Councilmember Maloney moved to approve the contract with The Novak Consulting <br />Group, Councilmember Loo seconded. <br />Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. <br />ORDINANCE NO. 1760, SERIES 2018 — AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND RE- <br />ENACTING WITH AMENDMENTS CERTAIN SECTIONS OF TITLES 4 AND 14 OF <br />THE LOUISVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING REGULATION OF CITY OPEN <br />SPACE AND PARKS — 1st READING, SET PUBLIC HEARING 8/7/18 <br />City Attorney Light introduced the ordinance by title on first reading.
