<br />Memo to Mayor and Council <br />January 22,2004 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />At the meeting, staff indicated that the only function that was still in the process of being <br />evaluated was Briggs and Morgan and their role in providing local assistance in the disposition <br />and development agreement process. Subsequent to the meeting, the City Administrator and I <br />met with Ron Batty, an attorney with Kennedy and Graven. Based on our meeting, we feel that <br />he could effectively provide this service. Mr. Batty brings a solid background in municipal law <br />to the project particularly in the areas ofland use and public finance. Additional information on <br />Kennedy and Graven and Mr. Batty is attached for your review. Aside from the comparable <br />quality of the firm and lead attorney, the cost savings are significant in comparison to Briggs and <br />Morgan. Briggs currently charges an hourly rate of $300 while Kennedy and Graven charges an <br />hourly rate of $175. Based on the above, staff would recommend retaining Kennedy and Graven <br /> <br />At this point, the Council has formally authorized a scope of work with DSU for the planning <br />process and an engagement letter with Spencer Fane for legal services. Additional work <br />associated with the preparation of the alternative urban areawide review would come back for <br />Council consideration and discussion at a later time. <br /> <br />Formal approval is still needed for Ehlers, Kennedy and Graven, and URS for environmental <br />services. Proposals from the three aforementioned firms are attached for your review and . <br />consideration. Any work performed by Peterson, Fram, and Bergman and URS work related to <br />the planning process falls within the purview oftheir roles as City Attorney and City Engineer. <br /> <br />Since there are items that require attention on the part ofURS and Kennedy and Graven, staffis <br />requesting approval of these proposals. While there is no immediate need in the area of public <br />finance at this point, staff is also requesting that the Ehlers proposal be considered for approval <br />in order to finalize the local project team. <br /> <br />Council will note that the amounts outlined in the proposals do not correlate to the amounts <br />currently allocated within the approved interim agreement. Until a new interim development <br />agreement is approved or the budgets are modified under the terms of the existing agreement, <br />staff would suggest that the Council approve the proposals but limit the expenditure to the <br />amount outlined in the approved interim development agreement. This is reflected in the <br />Request for Council Action. <br /> <br />N:\Misc Files\TCAAP\Local Team\] ~22-O4 Memo to Council RE Project Consultants.doc <br /> <br />. <br />
