402 Chairman Barnhart asked for a provision in the RFP that the County has the right to reject any and all bids. Mr. Witherspoon advised that this is a standard provision and would be included prior to the issuance of the RFP. There was lengthy discussion regarding the deletion of "recreation" from the study. Commissioner Fennel stated that the County has an adequate recreation plan and is now working to build and maintain parks. However, Commissioner Niblock expressed concern about the amount of money being spent on juvenile problems in the county and indicated that the area of recreation should also be addressed. After discussion, Commissioner Fennel agreed that recreation should remain as a part of the study and withdrew that portion of his motion.
