<br />Howard: If we have to move the community ditch and acquire <br /> additional lands, we won't know that until after <br /> the design is made, through this document at <br /> least. Thus we will be trapped into moving the <br /> community ditch and buying additional lands. <br /> What's the cost if we have to do that? I that in <br /> the $300,000 range? <br />Phare: I believe that's the number I recall if you throw <br /> land in. <br />Klee: I don't recall if that was the number in the <br /> preliminary study last summer. The pre-design <br /> phase which is the first stage of our activity on <br /> the project will define that. That is prior to <br /> any component design, facility design, etc. So <br /> those issues are going to be identified right up <br /> front, initially before the project proceeds. <br />Howard: I would like Tom to bring those findings back to <br /> Council and inform us, because that is a major <br /> dollar hit that we were not expecting. The <br /> $300,000 was the difference between this bid and <br /> the other bids that we said the $300,000 was too <br /> expensive on. I would like to be kept informed. <br />Brand: The contract provides for project management team <br /> to meet regularly to review, give input, receive <br /> feedback. There will be a regular reporting to <br /> the Council of progress occurring at regular <br /> Council meetings, that is an informal reporting. <br /> Then there will be a formal reporting at various <br /> stages. You will be informed every step of the <br /> way. <br />Phare: The contract calls for a pre-design report to be <br /> completed at the end of May, where a lot of these <br /> issues and specifically the community ditch issue <br /> will be a lot further along and probably completly <br /> answered as to which way we have to go. Also <br /> looking at the project schedule we need to start <br /> getting very serious about our financing plan, our <br /> first activities will verify our cost enough to <br /> proceed with a bracket of plus or minus financing <br /> plan until we can firm up the numbers. We need to <br /> start looking at that in conjunction with some of <br /> the other activities we have programmed this year. <br />Fauson: Some of the property that the County had taken <br /> over as open space, that we had voiced concern <br /> that we may need more additional property, they <br /> agreed that it would be available to us? <br />Phare: They were generally willing to work with us, <br /> 19 <br />
