IV. English Ranch Park Presentation

Planning Department. Ms. Meisel informed the Board about the
location, possible components, and the status of the park.
Ms. Meisel explained the role of the artist who will work with
EDAW Inc., the firm the City hired to design the park. Ms.
Meisel estimated that $1,500 of the $3,520 allocated from APP
funds will be used to pay the artist and the remainder could
be used to purchase art for the park. She also discussed the
process of selecting the artist to serve on the project.
Final design is expected to be completed in May or June of
1996. Construction is projected to begin in August and be
finished by summer of 1997.
V. Drake Road Project
Ms. Martin updated the Board on her discussion with
Engineering staff regarding the funds available for the
project. Ms. Martin passed out a draft RFP for the Board to
consider. The Board discussed the RFP and made changes. Ms.
Martin will proceed wih the RFP process based on the revised
draft.
Ms. Liska-Smith moved to combine the APP funds from the Drake
Road Project, $27,121.50 (Engineering); the College Drake
intersection Project, $11,052.80 (Engineering); and the Spring
Creek Basin/Drake Road, $2,464 (Stormwater).
Ms. Harpham seconded.
Passed unanimously.
Mr. Lynxwiler moved to approve the total of $40,638.30 for the
Drake Road project of which $2,000 will be set aside in
advance as a project contingency fund and $1,500 for
finalists, if needed, noting that the motion is contingent on
the legality of setting aside funds for contingency and for
the expenses of the finalists.
Mr. Vansant seconded.
Passed unanimously.
VI. Stormwater Depot
Ms. Martin reviewed progress on the project. Neither the
Stormwater nor the Facilities Departments have money in their
budget to afford the ongoing maintenance and upkeep involved
with a water feature. Based on this information, the Board
decided to change the RFP to eliminate the water feature.
Ms. Harpham moved to approve the proposed RFP with the
elimination of the water feature and requesting artistic
projects that are not site specific.
Ms. Liska-Smith seconded.
Approved unanimously.
VII. RFP for Design Consultants
