Ms. Barton responded in working with the other consultants they knew they <br /> would not be using their services for transportation and staff anticipated they would need some <br /> assistance in the transportation area, but they did not have any idea of how technical this issue <br /> would be or how much staff would be able to handle in-house. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated when they were talking about the $40,000 she believed this <br /> would cover the entire Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Barton responded staff was hoping they would <br /> able to bring it in under $40,000 and the previous contract came in just under $30,000, so they <br /> did not anticipate the actual cost of hiring someone for the transportation portion. <br /> Councilmember McClung stated he was concerned that this was not fully clear and he might <br /> have voted differently had he known they would be dealing with this separately. . <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a <br /> motion to approve the budget increase of $10,000 for the 2008 <br /> Comprehensive Plan Update Process. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she could live without options 3 and 4. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if this should be tabled to obtain additional bids. She stated this <br /> was a large increase to the budget and she would like to discuss this further because she was not <br /> satisfied with this amount. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a <br /> motion to table the motion to increase the budget to a future date.
