Consideration of Assigning an EDC Member to participate in the Development of the • Design Theme for Highway 10 Corridor Bennett explained that staff solicited proposals from over 15 consulting firms to assist in developing design themes for Highway 10. Of the 8 proposals that were received 4 were interviewed by Planning Commission members Jean Miller and Bobbie Brooks. Two firms were chosen to reinterview by a larger group that includes a member of the Council and EDC. These firms were SRF Consulting and Hoisington Koegler Group. The Council delayed taking action on this item until decisions could be made with regards to the ring road concept. If Council decides to proceed with the ring road concept a task force will be formed to work with one of these firms in developing a design theme.
