be conducted if state parks determines there is significant public interest.
Comments received during the public review period will be considered before the
priority ranking list is submitted to the commission for final approval. State
parks staff shall provide the commission with preliminary evaluations and
rankings of the applications to include a summary of each proposal recommended

result of the commission's decision, a final offer list will be developed and
