First of aU, the MOU is a document that we use to <br />fOnllalize the ncept plan that is developed during the prelim,inary design stage. This includes <br />the number of aues, trails & sidewalks, access types and other major aspects of the design. <br />Because the fi al design process involves a great deal ofthne. money and effort. we Q,on't want <br />to keep changi g major aspects oftbe project du.nng this phase of the project. <br /> <br />Second, the M, U outlines the County's cost shaJiug policy. This aspect of the MOU should <br />inform you of hat parts oftbe project are the City's responsibility and a general estimate of the <br />City's cost at ') early stage in the project and provide a precedent of what to expect in a Joint <br />Powers Agree lent at .the end of final design and prior to construction. <br /> <br /> <br />U outlines the expected responsibilities of both parties such as right-of-way <br />or project timeframes. <br /> <br />is a very important part of the overall project, there are still several additional <br />steps that are t to be accomplished. Upon approval of the MOV we will commence with the <br />final design plocess. In this pb~\se, we will finalize the answers that you ha,ve and have asked to <br />be included ill he MOU. Frankly, some of these question$ are too detailed for an absolute <br />answer ~t this' tage. When we are concluded with tbe fi.nal design, aU of your questions will <br />have been add essed. If the City is satisfied witb tbe final plans we wiU ask for plan approval. <br />This will aHa \lS to proceed with construction. Finally, prior to constructiol1 we will ask the <br />City to enter i to a Joint Powers Agreement with the County for the final cost participation in <br /> <br />Affirmative Actio" I EqLlit' Opportunity Employer <br /> <br />[;102 <br /> <br />/1~ <br />
