b) Espresso Cart in City Hall
Presented by Jordan Wheeler
Mr. Wheeler gave an overview of the recent proposal for an espresso cart in city hall, which would
be located underneath the stairway on the first floor of city hall.
Mr. Wheeler informed the Committee that last December the city went out for a first RFP, received
one response, and entered into discussions with the business owner. However, the owner moved
from Federal Way without warning. Therefore, staff issued a second RFP, received two proposals,
and entered into discussions with Terino’s Espresso for espresso cart services in City hall.
Motion to recommend to full Council authorization for the City Manager to enter into a
contract with Terino’s Espresso to provide espresso services to the City and its visitors to city
hall (option 1). Motion seconded and carried.
c) Comcast Franchise Extension
Presented by Mehdi Sadri
Mr. Sadri summarized the proposed Comcast Franchise Extension. Mr. Sadri explained to the
committee that the city currently has two separate cable franchises and the goal is to combine the
