first Tuesday of each month to update and receive feedback regarding activity and projects in The COR. City Discretion to Use other Consultants (language below to be added to the contract) Where the HRA determines it is in the best interests of the project, the City reserves the right to self -perform or utilize other consultants for design of major public improvement projects such as roadway improvements, trunk utility or infrastructure improvements, or municipal design services, where Landform does not provide those services. The Development Manager is requesting a two-year contract to be co -terminus with the current HRA membership with a 30-day termination clause, similar to the existing agreement. The Development Manager has continued discussions regarding the "Hot List" portion of the contract and would like to discuss further revisions. Staff and the Development Manager will discuss the concept of the proposed language changes with the HRA during the meeting. The proposed amendment is generally centered around the concept of eliminating the 5 year diminishing compensation and "Hot List" in favor of a fixed compensation amount upon early contract termination and a fixed number of months for carry-over of imminent deals. Finally, staff has discussed with the consultant, the advance of incentive compensation that was paid under the current contract. The consultant states that this was essential to the incentive -only portion of the contract, and is requesting that the advance on incentive compensation continue for the first twelve months of the renewed agreement. HRA staff has argued that the advance on Incentive Compensation should not continue beyond the current contract. Staff has argued that going forward, projects should be delivered for incentive compensation to be paid. Discussion regarding this issue will continue between staff and the DM prior to Tuesday's meeting. If the HRA is supportive of and provides direction regarding the proposed concepts and language changes, staff would proceed to prepare the amended contract to bring back for consideration over the next 2 weeks. Notification: None required. Recommendation: Staff is seeking direction with regard to the DM contract revisions and renewal. Funding Source: DM fees are paid from land sale proceeds and the HRA budget. Council Action: Direct staff with regard to the DM contract revisions and renewal.
