He noted that the fee schedule is reviewed each year, and adjustments can be made if desired.

He stated that this information is needed to help inform related decisions. He noted that Phase I will be important in identifying potential contaminants. He noted the Strategic Plan initiatives that this would align with. He commented that these funds were allocated in 2024 but were unspent; therefore, the funds are available for this purpose. He noted that typically this would not come before the Council, but because it was planned in 2024, not 2025, it would fall under an unbudgeted expense, and therefore, he wanted to bring it before the Council. He stated that even though funds are available for this purpose, staff are also pursuing grant funds for the project. Gutierrez stated that the city has purchased properties in the past few years and asked if this type of work should be done prior to the purchase of the property.
