Bill van Gcldcr, Traffic Engineer, explained that some of thc studies that Mr. Churka referred to would not be applicable to this project but that others could be used. It was moved by Mayor Tarver, and seconded by Ms. Dennis, to advance the monies for the environmental work ($30,000) to the applicant; applicant is not required to reimburse the City if the project fails because of challenges to the environmental document or if there are determinations made in the environmental document that the project cannot go forward; and the environmental work/study is to be conducted by an outside consultant.
