The Council has discussed 3 alternative employment arrangements such as a contract engineering service. Staff has put 4 together a letter offering employment however, the applicant has declined the offer. The 5 candidate has submitted a counter proposal to provide contract services to the City through his 6 contract agency. 7 8 Council Member Mueller said that she feels that the offer would be a clear conflict of interest and 9 she is not interested in the proposal. 10 11 Council Member Flaherty said that he would be interested in hearing a public presentation on 12 what the candidate could provide for the City.
