APPROVAL OF MINUTES February 14 URA Meeting — the minutes will be emailed to the Board prior to the next meeting. URBAN RENEWAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Approve Design Development Scope of Work Mr. Millar advised the Agency that the design team made some minor changes in the text, a modification to the fee and a few spelling corrections. There was much discussion and some concern raised regarding the changes. One of the concerns expressed was the idea of working outside of the Urban Renewal District. Another concern was that a local construction manager needs to be hired to oversee the project. Mr. Findlay felt this would speed up the process and avoid any potential for lawsuits. Mr. Bailey felt it would be smart to have someone in this roll that is available every day.

Mr. Millar advised the Board that it will need support from CH2M Hill during the contract development and selling of the bonds.

The Board changed the language on the final page (14) under "Assumptions and Information Needs" paragraph two to say: The Design Oversight Committee formed specifically for this project will be the principle entity directing the day to day work of the design team. Final decisions regarding contracting rest with the board of the Urban Renewal Agency. Mr. Findlay made a motion to approve the task order as amended.
