DATE: May 22, 2018 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Civic Site Task Force Budgeted Amount: Projected Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A Council Should Consider The Council should provide further direction on the upcoming Civic Site Task Force. Background In the TCAAP development, approximately 1.6 acres has been designated as a “Civic Space”, which is intended for civic and community uses. The City has two years from the signing of the Master Development Agreement to purchase the land for one dollar, and one year from the purchase to begin construction. After the two year mark, the City’s cost to purchase the land increases, and after seven years the land would revert to TC3 zoning. To help inform the City Council of potential uses on the site, the City Council directed staff to formulate a “Civic Space Task Force”, which will be working with an outside consultant, HGA, to bring forward options. The current Scope of Work (SOW) with HGA provides for three of each of the following: open houses, meeting with the task force, and presentations to the Council (a total of nine meetings). The task force will be made up of existing committee and commission members, and a few other key individuals (see attachment A). Attached is a list of the members who have expressed interest in the task force (see attachment B). The task force will also include two City Council Members. City Staff is requesting Council give direction on the makeup of the task force, budget guidelines, meeting frequency, and deliverables to the Council. Following tonight’s discussion, City Staff will work with the City Attorney to draft the necessary resolution to establish the task force for the May 29, 2018 Council Meeting.
