City Council Meeting Minutes July 17, 2018 Page 11 of 13 Councilmember Maloney stated the County's Greenhouse Gas report doesn't note our solar inputs so we need to record that and be able to articulate its impact. CONTRACT WITH NOVAK CONSULTING GROUP FOR PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR RECRUITMENT SERVICES Human Resources Director Hix stated based on the low unemployment climate across the nation and our recent experience with the Library and Museum Services Director recruitment RFP process, staff requests hiring The Novak Consulting Group (TNCG) as a sole source vendor for the Parks and Recreation Director Recruitment process to fill the position left vacant by the retirement of Joe Stevens. Based on previous work with Novak which includes lots of community feedback, staff recommends approval. Public Comments — None Councilmember Loo cautioned that the more we use only one certain firm the Tess likely we will get others to bid as vendors; they feel they won't get the contract and don't bid. We need to actively solicit others for projects like this in the future. Councilmember Maloney stated he doesn't generally support sole source on principle, but feels Novak is competent and won't get any added value from an RFP process. Councilmember Maloney moved to approve the contract with The Novak Consulting Group, Councilmember Loo seconded. Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
