<br />CASE # 1 <br /> <br />Wetlands Study Contract Status <br />By: Chris Anderson, Zoning & Recycling Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As you are aware, Staff had been in continued discussions with Westwood Professional Services <br />regarding the budget supplement necessary to complete the wetland functions and values study. <br />The additional funding necessary to complete this study was estimated to be $19,163.25. After applying <br />the difference between the original contract amount of $33,320 and the initial transfer of $35,000 (a <br />difference of $1,680.00), the additional funding necessary to complete the study was estimated to be <br />$17,483.25. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />At the September 26 Finance Committee meeting, Staff brought forward a proposed resolution <br />authorizing the transfer of $20,000.00 from the Landfill Tipping Fund Fee to the General Fund to <br />complete this study. After some discussion, which focused mostly on the fact that the contractor <br />got ahead of themselves with work versus invoicing rather than on the merits of the study or the <br />importance of the study, the Finance Committee unanimously voted to recommend City Council <br />approve the transfer. Ultimately, City Council authorized the transfer of funds to complete the <br />functions and values study. It is anticipated that the field work could be completed by week's <br />end. <br /> <br />EPB Action <br /> <br />This is for informational purposes only, no action is necessary. <br /> <br />EPB: 10/2/06 <br />
