Committee members approved an amended ordinance (1072‑2025) that amended an existing contract with Osborne Engineering related to the North Coast Connector (Lakefront Pedestrian Bridge Connector). The committee added an amendment that struck certain lines and inserted a not‑to‑exceed cap of $5,000,000, to be paid from fund(s) including cash matches and cash contributions accepted under prior appropriations.
Why it matters: The North Coast Connector is a capital pedestrian link along the lakefront; increasing scope and engineering amendments can raise project costs. The committee’s action formalizes a funding carve‑out and limit for the Osborne Engineering amendment.
Details and follow up: The amendment passed without objection and staff indicated the ordinance passed as amended. Committee members asked finance and project staff to confirm funding sources and to ensure the appropriation language aligns with capital program requirements.
