a comparable cost; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that a lease between The Research Park and
APD is consistent with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; and

WHEREAS, Public Contract Code § 20162 requires competitive bidding for
expenditures exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000); and
