There was a unanimous affirmative voice vote.
E. Review of Proposals for New ADF&G Building
B. Cassidy noted that all Proposers had been notified that the review and interview period
of their Proposals would be delayed. All Proposers elected to extend the validity of their
Proposals [beyond the original 90 day period]. He also noted that a site had not yet been
selected.
J. Friend questioned the decision making process: the Facility will be Borough owned
and the site City owned. The Borough will negotiate the site with the City. The ARB
may make a recommendation.
J. Johnston questioned if the City had specific criteria for which site they [the City]
would keep. B. Cassidy suggested that the City would probably make that decision based
on which site would be more valuable [to the City] to keep.
S. Arndt asked for Board Members' suggestions for selecting the "short list". It was the
consensus that each Member list their top 4 selections.
S. Arndt:
ECI/Hyer and USKH - top firms
RIM, KPB, PIT and ASCG - possibilities

H. Board Comments
J. Johnston commented on the Proposers designing around - satisfying - the tenant
[F&G] rather than the owner and he questioned the input the Borough would have in the
design.
B. Cassidy said that the design should meet the needs and interests of the user but the
Borough should definitely have a role in the design.
J. Johnston also noted that RIM appeared to be strong in LEED.
R. Oswalt commented that he would like to "get on with the pool".
There were no other Board comments.
