City staff told the council the proposed renewal of the contract with the CIC is a like‑for‑like renewal in which only the contract dates change; the administration proposed bringing the item back as a resolution rather than an ordinance to eliminate the need for a waiver or emergency.

Council members noted the city’s contribution to the CIC is set in the budget rather than in the contract. One council member confirmed the budget request again shows $300,000 for CIC support next year; staff reiterated that the contract itself does not specify the dollar amount. The item will be placed on the first meeting agenda and returned with a resolution form as city attorney guidance suggested; staff also agreed to amend one historical clause (Roman numeral 3.1) that references TIF administrative expenses and return a revised document.

Why it matters: The contract governs the administrative relationship between the city and the CIC; placing the renewal as a resolution would streamline the process and avoid procedural waivers. Council also flagged an outdated contract clause related to TIF administrative expenses for correction before approval.

What’s next: Staff said they will prepare a resolution for first meeting consideration and will return an amended contract addressing the TIF‑related clause.
