A. LIBRARY LANDSCAPING: LANDSCAPING
Land Design Collaborative (LDC) presented their proposal to the Commission and
answered a set of questions that was the same as those used by the Commission
with previous landscape designer candidates.
The Commission began discussion of the landscape designers' proposals and
interviews at 7:55 pm. Commissioner Salazar set a time limit for discussion
until 8:30 pm and outlined the format for discussion and decision making. After
much discussion on form, function, qualifications and needs of the project, a
straw poll of the Commissioners was taken and the general consensus was to
reject LDC's offer. Discussion of the need for a second straw poll led to a
decision to forgo a poll at present and schedule another meeting for further
discussion of landscape designers. The Commission will meet on Monday,
November 215 2005 at 7:00 pm for further discussions.
