CITIZEN PARTICIPATION – ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Francisco Cortez, 1393 S Alpine, expressed concern about everything moving so fast. He asked if there would be any investigation into any wrongdoing. An internal investigation was needed otherwise the City would end up in the same cycle. People needed to be held accountable. He noted the city sign states, “Cornelius, A Family Town” not a business town. The City needed to focus on its citizens, children, and schools. Acting City Manager Rubenstein updated about the investigation, stating that the investigator indicated that the investigation would be finished within next few days. A report would be provided to the City by the end of the week and presented at the next City Council meeting. Mr. Cortez added that kids need to be held accountable; some kind of truancy needed to be instituted and enforced. The parents must be accountable and the kids charged incrementally higher amounts each time they are caught. Actions must be taken to improve the town. The City must quit thinking about getting businesses to support Cornelius; it is a family town, not a business town. He is fine commuting to other cities for work, this is his home. 4.

7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. City Attorney Request for Proposals Acting City Manager Rubenstein recommended terminating the City Attorney request for proposals (RFP) and instead, asked Council to continue with the current firm, one of the most professional in the state. He did not believe the City needed to spend any more funds to search for a new legal firm. He confirmed that the prior process for selecting a firm could be challenged. He received neutral legal counsel recommending that the City make a clean break and start the process at a later date. He agreed Council should consider the matter during its goal setting process and that the City’s leadership should be stabilized first. He noted the City currently utilizes the existing firm sometimes on daily basis and he would like maintain stability in that area. Following a brief discussion, Council consented to accept the City Manager’s recommendation to terminate the City Attorney RFP and revisit the process in the future. B. Construction Excise Tax Review (October 17-Worksession) Acting City Manager Rubenstein stated he was uncomfortable reviewing the City’s funding source without going through goal setting and an agreed-upon budget process. Given the City’s tight budget, he did not recommend expending funds that were not anticipated. He sought direction about stopping this particular assignment. He clarified that Staff had not yet prepared materials. Council agreed it was a goal setting issue for the new, full Council and to stop the Construction Excise Tax Review until a later time, especially in light of the City’s limited funds. Acting City Manager Rubenstein recommended that Ellie Jones provide a financial status report to Council, which would be given during the City Manager Report. 8. NEW BUSINESS A. Contract Review Board: Harleman Park Pathway Project Approval Terry Keyes, City Engineer, presented the Staff report, recommending that Council approve the bid and award the contract to Ranes Excavating along with a $10,000 contingency since the bid was well below the $138,500 grant received from the Oregon Parks and Recreational Department. He clarified how the contingency is used and explained that the unused grant money will be refunded, but he was uncertain how the City’s matching fund would be affected due to in-kind contributions. He believed the grant is limited to the pathway and would not cover some wetland work that Clean Water Services would like the City to do. Staff would be researching if the wetland work would qualify. A motion was made by Councilor Crowder that the Cornelius City Council, acting as the Contract Review Board, authorize the City Manager to sign a contract of $100,415, with Ranes Excavating, Inc. for the Harleman Park Pathway Project and set aside a contingency of $10,000 that can be added to the contract for additional work that may be found to be necessary, and the action to take effect Cornelius City Council Meeting Minutes-October 10, 2011 Page 4 of 8
