City Council meeting of February 3, 1992 Page 4 CONSULTANT SELECTION P=ROCESS (RFP FEASIBILITY STUDY) On February 5, 1992, the City Council will be meeting with six architects to discuss the contents of the feasibility report to be prepared for the Rice Lake Park building. At the *nreviOLAS City Council meeting, members of the Council discussed the possibility of reducing the scope of the study, while other members of the Council have suggested the need to expand the scope of the study. The City staff would recommend that if the City Council is desirous of altering the scope of this study, that they specifically identify those items to be dropped from the study, as well as those items the Council would like added to the feasibility report. It should be kept in mind that the cost estimates identified by the various architects for preparing this feasibility report were based on the information identified on the RFP. After a brief discussion, the Council decided to proceed with the interview based on the original RFP submitted to the architects, with no additions or deletions. PROPOSED FLOOD PLAIN ORDINANCE As per Minnesota Statutes, the City of Hugo is required to update its flood plain ordinance, as recommended by the MNDNR. The proposed draft- ordinance reflects the efforts of the City staff in bringing our current flood plain ordinance into compliance with State requirements. This ordinance is currently being reviewed by the City Engineer for additions, deletions, or other modifications. In that the City Council will need to address this ordinance change this spring, the City staff provided the Council with a copy of the ordinance for their review. Councilman Miron inquired about the section referencing "non-conforming structures". City Administrator Huber stated that because the 100-year flood level varies so much, depending on the location in the City, that it would be cost-prohibitive for the City to do topographic mapping to determine which structures would be currently below the 100-year flood elevation. This would have to be determined on an individual basis, at the time some kind of activity or development took place.
