112 <br /> <br /> Scott Maze, Principal of Maze & Associates, pointed out that <br /> he attended this meeting in the case that Council had any <br /> questions. He explained that he did his best to price his proposal <br /> as carefully as possible and did not feel that it was appropriate <br /> to revise fees at the Council meeting. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler commented that there is much to be gained by <br /> continuity in the auditing relationship. He did not feel that it <br /> was necessarily a drawback to not change auditors; in fact, it may <br /> be an advantage. He believed that there was a definite advantage <br /> to employing local professionals. He preferred no changes to be <br /> made. The price or cost should not be the determining factor. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarvet stated that Maze & Associates brought a new point <br /> of view and a considerable amount of public entity experience for <br /> less cost. He agreed with Mr. Butler's comments but he felt more <br /> comfortable with a new firm conducting the audit. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer was aware that Maze & Associates did excellent <br /> work but agreed with Mr. Butler that this was not the correct time <br /> to make a change in auditors. He.felt that Gielo & Davis had <br /> contributed a lot to the Pleasanton community. Mayor Mercer <br /> believed that it was important that a local company be chosen. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr agreed that both firms were very competent. She <br /> agreed that this was not a good time to make a change in auditors. <br /> She would support changing auditors in the future. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Butler, and seconded by Mayor Mercer, that <br /> Gielo~& Davis be awarded the audit contract for ta~e-- ' <br /> <br /> The roll call vote was as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr and Mayor Mercer <br /> NOES: Councilmembers Scribner and Tarver <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Item 8 <br /> Main street Desiqn <br /> <br /> The Mayor reminded the audience that he and Mr. Butler, due to <br /> their ownership of stock, would be unable to participate in this <br /> matter. Mayor Mercer and Councilmember Butler therefore abstained <br /> on this item. <br /> <br /> Vice Mayor Tarver asked staff to make a brief presentation. <br /> <br /> Jerry Iserson stated that this item was originally addressed <br /> at the June 2 meeting where a design option for Main Street was <br /> adopted.
