He stated the Finance Committee is recommending that the Council approve the <br />proposal from Northland Strategies in an amount not to exceed $13,600. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if the reason the City is not opening this up to other quotes is <br />because it is impractical to use somebody else at this point due to the uncertainty of the nature of <br />work. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that Northland Strategies currently acts as the City's financial <br />consultant and their services are utilized on a daily basis. In addition, Northland is familiar with <br />the City's finances, they have done strategic financing plans for the City, and this work would <br />allow staff to budget for an expenditure for the Ramsey Town Center. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that case #2 involving a partial land acquisition was postponed <br />pending completion of the preliminary design drawings for the Armstrong interchange upgrade. <br />He stated the Finance Committee felt it was the responsible thing to do and to know what the <br />City is buying before making a purchase. <br /> <br />City Council / August 25, 2009 <br />Page 17 of 19 <br />
