Why it matters: the contract funds city-paid-but-applicant-reimbursed consultant review of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to help ensure independent technical analysis during a major development review.
Jeremy Metzler explained the city would run consultant contracts under the city’s control to review materials prepared by the applicant (Prologis) to avoid applicant-driven bias. Metzler said the amendment surpasses $15,000 and therefore requires council authorization; staff noted the cost will be 100% reimbursable by the applicant and will not impact the city budget.
Council members indicated they were comfortable placing the authorization on the consent agenda. No formal vote or authorization was taken at the study session.
