MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 11, 2026 Miller agreed that they should not box someone in, although they should understand the budget. He asked if the consultant would also assist in identifying additional funding options. The City Administrator did not believe that funding was included in the RFP, but confirmed that Bolton & Menk and staff would continue to pursue those opportunities. Mayor Fischer stated that the goal was to define the community building, design it in 2026, and start construction in 2027, noting that they are following that schedule. He hoped that the output would be scalable, recognizing that the design may not come back within the budget. He stated that they may need to adjust the needs and/or look for additional funding opportunities. Miller stated that perhaps the TAC, or a similar group, could come together to review the plans developed by the consultant. Miller introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2026-2-19 — A UTHORIZING STAFF TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR COMMUNITY BUILDING ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Kwapick.
