"I'm confused. I've heard about this thing called an ITN. Can someone explain it to me?"

You've come to the right place. Sans the silly headlines and hysteria the video below explains what an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) is. City Manager Michael Bornstein (who just received a 5-year contract extension) starts from the beginning: what an ITN is and why the ITN process was chosen. The video is a little more than 7 minutes long. Enjoy.
