Case #7: Consider Proposal from Landform for Continued RTC Work Planning Manager Miller stated that Landform has been assisting the City Council and the Steering Committee with refining the vision for the Ramsey Town Center since July. There have been several Steering Committee meetings, a public open house, community focus group, and numerous stakeholder meetings. In September, the HRA approved an additional $4,000, increasing the contract amount from $23,000 to $27,000 to complete the scope of services. This amount was exclusive of the trip to Altoona, which was an additional $3,000. In September, Mr. Lazan proposed to provide services while the HRA considers contracting for development services. The proposal is for an estimated amount of $15,000 per month, with Mr. Lazan performing. the majority of the work himself. This would be on an as needed basis. She asked the HRA to determine if there is a need for the interim services proposed by Mr. Lazan or if this can be resolved by the RFQ. Commissioner Elvig asked if this is for 90 days. Ms. Miller stated that would be based upon discussion. Motion by Commissioner Elvig and seconded by Commissioner Look to recommend accepting Mr. Lazan's proposal for 90 days. Further discussion: Commissioner Look inquired how many Mr. Lazan felt he could accomplish in 90 days. Mr. Lazan replied that the scenario with the dashboard is deals in progress -the rest would be on a deal by deal basis. Commissioner Look stated that this is coordinating marketing efforts. He thinks the lion's share of this will be taken care of in 90 days. Mayor Ramsey stated that Landform develops this dashboazd and does this work in 90 days. The contract is up -what good will that dashboard be if we hire someone different in 90 days. We may as well not bother keeping him for 90 days either. Chairperson Dehen suggested letting staff direct what they need to get from Landform on an as-needed basis. He added he is not in favor of holding someone on a retainer - if we need him - we do it - if we don't - we don't. He did not know if the dashboard is the best way to go. Do an exit strategy - he is in favor of.getting out. Commissioner Jeffrey inquired if we pay Landform to develop this dashboard, don't we own it then?
