Council postpones Schultz Lane engineering contract after scope-map inconsistencies
A $596,200 engineering services contract for Schultz Lane drew questions when members found differences between the packet map and consultant exhibits over whether the contract covers AW Grimes to Faber or extends to city limits; staff said GIS vs. Google Maps confusion is to blame and the council voted to postpone the item for three weeks to clarify scope and contract exhibits.

Council reviewed a professional-services agreement with Tetra Tech for design and engineering work on Schultz Lane safety improvements.
