recommendation on items relevant to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for community
partners, such as the types of community partners and community partner selection
criteria.

items relevant to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for community partners, such as the
types of community partners and community partner selection criteria.

for Council’s consideration, taking into account ideas shared at the community

item.
