MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Warshawsky, seconded by Fenwick and passed unanimously to approve the request for the expenditure of funds not to exceed • $20,000 from the Town's reserves for the consulting services of R. W. Beck, Inc to perform an updated feasibility and cost analysis of underground service. 5.1.3 Master Pathway Map—Status Report Dot Schreiner, 14301 Saddle Mountain Drive, reported that the group is continuing to work on pathway documentation. She noted that their progress has been slowed by summer vacations and scheduling. They are presently reviewing Grant Deeds and Town resolutions. Les Earnest has been working on additional issues and has been forwarding updates to staff. Schreiner noted that two concerns that the group would like Council to be aware of. 1) the resolutions from 1970-1984 on pathways are missing; and 2) specific path easements on roads (example Princess Elena) state in their dedication that the off road paths are for the private use of subdivision residents only. Schreiner feels this will cause problems if the Town wishes to continue the path. She added that some of the language in the recently adopted Parks and Recreation Ordinance could additionally promote private pathways and add to this problem. The group will bring this issue before the Pathway Committee for consideration of amending the language of the Ordinance. 5.1.4 Storm Water Master Plan—Status Report City Engineer /Director of Public Works Mintze Cheng reported that staff had sent out a Request for Proposals for this project on July 21, 2003. A meeting was held on August 5th for interested consultants to ask questions of staff and review the project. The • deadline for submittal of bids is August 19th. Staff will return to Council for consideration of the proposal in September. 5.1.5 Visit to China to Explore Business Opportunities—Spring 2004 Postponed for consideration until Spring 2004. 5.2 Consideration of Final Payment of Charges to Goldman Architects Administrative Services Director Sarah Joiner addressed Council. She explained that the request for payment of services before them is the final billing from John Goldman Architects. Staff has reviewed the additional information, explanations and documentations requested to support these charges and have concluded that it is appropriate to pay the amount requested in the invoice. Joiner noted that Mr. Goldman has offered to discuss all of the findings and conclusions of his consultants' work with Peter Duxbury, at no charge to the Town. Mr. Goldman has also provided the Town with all of his reports and drawings. Councilmember Kerr asked if the invoice contained any "mark-up" for services. Joiner explained these were direct charges with an overhead charge of approximately$97.00. • 4 City Council Meeting Minutes August 7,2003
