Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is a proposal received from Ehlers & Associates regarding <br />professional services needed to create a development guide for the Rice <br />Street /Little Canada Road area. It should be noted that Steve Grittman and <br />I met with the consultants' representatives on March 13, 1995 to discuss <br />the scope of services in greater detail. The proposal was received late <br />Thursday afternoon and I have not had an opportunity to review it with <br />Rusty Fifield prior to enclosing it with the agenda materials. <br />Some questions exist on my part regarding the content of this proposal. <br />Specifically, I am concerned that the product generated by this process <br />meets the needs and expectations of the City Council. Given the amount of <br />dollars that could be expended as well as the time it will take to complete <br />this study, it is imperative that a clear understanding exists between the <br />City and the consulting group. <br />To address these concerns, I am recommending that we have further <br />discussions workshop with the consultants to clearly define the work scope <br />and the expected end product. Because time is of the essence, I would <br />recommend that we have this discussion at our meeting on the 22nd or as <br />soon as possible thereafter. Prior to Wednesday's meeting, I will go over <br />the proposal in greater detail with Mr. Fifield with the goal of making a <br />more decisive recommendation at Wednesday's meeting. <br />If you should have comments or questions after reviewing the proposal, <br />please let me know in order that I can incorporate them into my <br />discussions. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Rusty Fifield <br />Steve Grittman, City Planner <br />Page 28 <br />
