on consent.
City Attorney Taylor commented that during the executive session, he had an
opportunity to brief the Council on the legal issues relating to the contract contents, the
protocol, and the method of implementation. It is his understanding that Council is now
aware that the contract is the original draft instrument prepared by the consultant after
on -going conversations with the city staff. We have requested that State and Federal
Agencies that are also involved in air quality enforcement provide input as to whether or
not any additional tests should be added to the study protocol. Council has suggested to
staff that if they find those suggested tests to be reasonable, they should be added to
the contract and if that increases the projected price of the contract the contract will be
modified or amended to include those cost estimates up to the maximum amount
permitted by law for approval by the City Manager. It is his understanding that the
Council desires to go ahead in its motion tonight to direct the staff to implement this
program and proceed with the execution of the contract when it is in its final form after
adding into the agreement any additional tests deemed appropriate by State or Federal
representatives and adjusting the cost to reflect the increased price of that testing.
Agenda Item No. 4H. Ordinance No. 977, 1 St Reading, Dedication of an easement and
