Councihnember Zimmerman requested a perspective on the costs that would be anticipated for <br />these services. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson replied the rate being charged for this service is hourly; <br />he would expect a charge from 1 to 5 hours per week. <br /> <br />Councihnember ZilnmelTnan questioned costs on a project such as D.R. Horton. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman replied that information can be provided in the weekly update. He <br />explaincd with this Review Board members will only be present as they are needed, and there <br />will likely be a lot done by conference calls. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook commented at five hours per week the cost of this consultation would be <br />$9,100 for one year of consultation. If that is stretched to three or four years to build out it would <br />be approximately $30,000 or $40,000 over the life of the construction. This would be money <br />well spent to know the City is getting what they want. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained the consulting time required will depend on the <br />issues. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak questioned what the consultant will be looking at. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained Ms. Anderson would offer the City the <br />expertise to make sure the answers staff gives to the Planning Commission and Council make <br />sense fi'om an architectural standpoint. If Town Center is giving architectural reasons for <br />something that are not in his knowledge Ms. Anderson can offer expertise as to if Town Center is <br />making a reasonable request, and why they might not be able to accommodate what is shown as <br />thc vision for this plan. <br /> <br />Councihnen]ber Cook commented an architect would know some of the products and materials <br />that arc available and can be used. For example, roads and street signs will be a collaborative <br />effort between the City and Town Center and they will want it all to match well together. He <br />noted when the Council discussed concrete earlier the architect may have had infom~ation <br />regarding this. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated the cost of this consulting work is a good price. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to enter into an agn'eement <br />with Kathy Anderson with Architectural Consortium LLC for commercial architectural <br />consulting services as it relates to the Town Center Review Board. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
