AMENDED & APPROVED: AUG. 21, 2006 <br />City of Lake Elmo <br />PARKS COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING <br />Minutes of July 25, 2006 <br />Chairman Schumacher called to order the special meeting of the Lake Elmo Parks Commission <br />at 6:00 p.m. COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Heroff, Steele, Larson, Watters, Wagner, T. <br />Bouthilet (6:02), Bruchu (6:09). STAFF PRESENT: Planner Dillerud, Assistant Planner <br />Matzek, and Recording Secretary Anez. <br />1. Introduction <br />The Planner introduced Kelli Matzek as the city' s new assistant planner and gave a short <br />background of her education and work history. The Planner said she will be the support for the <br />Parks Commission. <br />2. Agenda <br />No changes could be made to the agenda. <br />3. Consultant Selection for the Park Plan Update <br />The Planner said he and the Assistant Planner reviewed the three consultant proposals. They <br />ranked them 1. TKDA, 2. Sanders Wacker Bergly, and 3. S.E.H., Inc. He said that TKDA best <br />suits the city and their proposal stayed within budget but they have never done a project like this <br />before. SWB has immense experience but overbid the contract. S.E.H. gave us a rather thin <br />proposal and did not do well in the interview. <br />Assistant Planner Matzek said that S.E.H. missed the inventory the Parks Commission has <br />already tackled. <br />The Planner said that any change orders to the contract will need to be approved by the City <br />Council. <br />Commissioner Steele said his only reservation with TKDA is that he is concerned with their <br />ability to write and with their typographical errors within their presentation. He said it was not a <br />clean proposal. <br />M/S/P, Watters/Steele to recommend entering into a contract with TKDA to do the city's <br />Comprehensive Park Plan Update. Vote: 6:0:2, Abstain: Larson/Wagner, they missed the <br />interviews. <br />The Planner said the recommendation will go the City Council at their August 2, 2006 meeting. <br />Commissioner Watters called for adjournment and the chair adjourned the meeting at 6:21 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />KimberltAnez <br />Recording Secretary <br />Lake Elmo Parks Commission Special Meeting Minutes of July 25.2006 <br />
