The following vote resulted: AYES: CHAIRMAN BUCKLEY VICE-CHAIRMAN SCHIFFNER MEMBER HICKMAN MEMBER KELLEY n n n NOES: MEMBER MAGEE NONE ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE (4) Downtown Master Plan Consultant Selection Recommendation: The City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Cooper Carry, Inc. to prepare the City of Lake Elsinore Downtown Master Plan, in an amount not to exceed $207,280. Acting Director of Community Development presented the staff report indicating this item was for the selection of a consultant for the Downtown Master Plan. Staff received a strong response to the request for proposals and staff is recommending the selection of Cooper Carry, Inc., because the firm has the demonstrated experience to tackle a project of this scope. The project will be a team effort between City staff, the Redevelopment Project Manager and the community. Staff will work with Cooper Carry to insure this project is completed in a timely manner, that cost overruns are avoided and that the City will receive a final product that the residents, business owners and the development community will be proud of. Staff advised that the study session comments regarding the reimbursables has been duly noted and staff will work with the consultant to properly modify that provision prior to signing the contract. The consultant team is present if Council has any questions. Member Magee commented that approval of the contract was part of the Board's vision and goals and there will be plenty of opportunity for community input. He felt the reimbursables were abusive and he wanted them excluded. His only other concern was that the work schedule, the consultant has indicated they will commence work in 60 days but there is no caveat as to when the project will be completed. He reminded staff that he did not want this to go past the scheduled timeline for completion. Richard Ferro, principal with the Newport Beach Office of Cooper Carry advised Council that that 12 months would be an acceptable period of time for completion and pointed out a timeline is on the preliminary page of the schedule, at page 102, which is essentially June of 2009. He also indicated that they would work with staff on the reimbursable issue. Chairman Buckley noted there was significant polling data and public input data from the Civic Center Design contest which references not just the Civic Center but downtown, and requested the consultant take advantage of that. He also noted that during the initial mapping exercises there were sign in sheets and those names should be on the contact list for the public meetings. He felt that connecting the lake to downtown Main Street is one of the keys for both the success of the lake and the downtown. 2 n n n Kelley moved to approve, second by Magee.
