Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 26, 2011 Page 21 City Engineer Bloom, in addressing the cost, advised that any registered engineer would review the IT manual, the same manual the City had used; and noted that the original study cost for the City for the overall area had been $50,000 approx- imately three (3) years ago; with subsequent updates priced at $5,000 for the overall area. City Engineer reiterated that the assumptions were made to establish the baseline; and at the request of Mayor Roe, confirmed that part of the routine development costs for any new development and/or construction would require a traffic study for that parcel. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the base line trips and the appeal process was what needed to be accompanied by a registered traffic engineer, obviously less expen- sive than cost for the City's study of the entire area for the allocation calculations; and opined that the study of one particular lot through the IT manual would not be too elaborate or costly. At the request of Councilmember Pust, Ms. Bloom confirmed that the baseline trips were set and that the six (6) month timeframe related to appealing those baseline trips would not change no matter what the development was or when de- velopment occurred. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Bartholdi clarified that the appeal process pro- vided a developer with an administrative remedy, and if not satisfied, a judicial remedy could be pursued. Mayor Roe clarified that the as-developed network trips were related to any pro- posed development, and was a routine process in studying development; with the assumption that everything was on the table for discussion; and opined that the City may consider some type of accommodation as part of those specific discus- sions and negotiations. Councilmember Johnson concurred with Mayor Roe's last statement; and the pre- vious comment of Councilmember Willmus to staff, that negotiations are possi- ble; and not set in stone; and opined that he was willing to move forward with that understanding.
