At the last meeting the task force gave staff direction to go to the City Council with their recommendation that the City Council authorize an RFQ for consultant services to help with the next phase of the development process. There were also funding issues involved. The City Council approved the recommendation and approved funding for that phase of the project. Staff prepared a draft RFQ, sent it to all of the task force members approximately two months ago. Staff has received comments from everyone on the task force. Those comments have been incorporated but not yet circulated. Staff has not moved forward as they have been involved in other projects (for example, the Kottinger Place irrigation project).
