Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Tossey, to approve a contract with Bonestroo for consultant Planning Services and direct staff of prepare and execute a two - year contract for services, subject to review by the City Attorney as to legal form. Further discussion: Mayor Ramsey stated all three firms that interviewed are quality firms. He noted he is not in favor of paying $15 more per hour for Bonestroo compared to what other firms proposed. Councilmember Wise noted since the vast majority of the development is in The COR, the work would have to be done by another consultant than Mr. Lazan, which was a reason to not choose Landform. Mayor Ramsey questioned if staff can handle the plan review for The COR. City Administrator Ulrich indicated staff can handle the site plan reviews as well as other projects. Mayor Ramsey questioned if there would be a conflict of interest in using Landform. City Administrator Ulrich stated there could be a potential conflict of interest, but it could be handled. Councilmember Elvig inquired whether Bonestroo can match a flat rate. Senior Planner Gladhill stated he could discuss this with them. Motion carried.
