McMinnville board approves $6,000 increase to CT Consultants design contract
Summary
The McMinnville Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to amend a prior resolution, increasing CT Consultants' design fee from $28,500 to $34,500 to add visitor-facing elements to a lot design funded in part by tourism money.
The McMinnville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on a unanimous vote approved an amendment to a previously passed resolution to increase CT Consultants’ contract compensation from $28,500 to $34,500.
City staff said the additional $6,000 will pay for changes to a lot design to make it more visitor‑centric because tourism funds will be used for both design and construction. Staff said the original contract was signed in August 2024 and that the revised design is not yet public.
Jordan, a staff member, told the board the design additions are intended to reflect tourism elements and that the work necessitated an amended invoice. The board discussed the scope briefly before a motion to amend the resolution was made by Carrie Morton and seconded by Sally Brock. The board then voted, and the motion passed.
The city indicated that construction procurement and further project steps will be handled with the tourism department; a timeline for construction was not specified during the discussion.
Details recorded in the agenda packet identify the earlier action as resolution number 28‑24‑26, originally authorizing $28,500 to CT Consultants for plans for the lot; the amendment increases that amount by $6,000. Specifics of the added design elements were not presented in public at the meeting.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the amendment; staff indicated further conversations about the design are available to board members upon request.
