Council Minutes of 2/19/2008 what he is suggesting is it should go through the process. It should be subjected to the same process we use for every single contractor in the City of North Olmsted: submit an RFP, and the contract is awarded. He sees no reason why we should go on in perpetuity with one entity merely because we have in the past. It's a healthy process, and it's one that we've established. And it's one that he thinks in the future we should continue to implement and subject all contractors to. It may well be that the explanation the Director of Finance has offered as to why she uses these two entities is reason enough to hire them. But we have a process for that. W shouldn't move away from the process just to continue to use the same entities we've used before. Roll call continued: Jones, yes; Mahoney, yes; Ryan, no; Orlowski, yes; Barker, yes; Kearney, yes.

In addition to the comments made with respect to Ordinances 2008- 13 and 2008-14, he would further add the same applies to Ordinance 2008-15. The streets need to be repaired.
