In view of the professional assistance already available to Little Canada through its staff, the Consultant's role in the implementation process would be seen as limited, provided on a special as needed basis. In confronting the relatively difficult and complex problems, requirements and procedures of development, the benefit of a broad and diverse back -up provided by o consultant's knowledge in the field is seen as a major advantage. As an initial basis for such involvement, it is proposed that Midwest Planning would provide technical development assistance on all applications and request for zoning matters and subdivisions. While the arrangement, scope and details of such assistance require further refinement and definition during the planning tactics stage, it would be expected that such work would be conducted in support of and through the Planning Commission. The City could consequently benefit through the addition of increased professional assistance being available. A parallel benefit would also result from the Consultant's perspective in that through continued contact and exposure, a more in- depth understanding and appreciation of the community and its problems would be gained. It is suggested that this aspect of the work program be discussed as port of the program setup, Task 1, of the project. PROJECT BUDGET The cost to develop a Comprehensive Plan and Revise Ordinances for the City of Little Canada is estimated at $13,500 maximum. This budget is based upon anticipated work requirements as outlined in the preceding paragraphs and submission of fifty (50) copies of the documents stipulated. Services would be charged on a time and expense basis. The community would be charged only for that portion of the budget required to complete the project. If any differences between the hourly and expense charges and the maximum project budget resulted, remaining funds would be left with the community and would not be claimed by the Consultant. A detailed breakdown of the program budget by tasks is found on the following page. PROJECT PERSONNEL David R. Licht, President of Midwest Planning and Research, Inc. would be the Principal in Charge of the project. His role in the Little Canada Project would be to hold primary responsibility to the Client for overall quality of Midwest Planning's work and attendance and presentations at major community meetings. Other staff specialists would be drawn into the project cis required. Detailed resumes of individuals who would likely contribute in a supportive role to the project were provided previously in the Midwest Planning informational packet. 10 67
