Council delays Michael Baker agreement pending clarification of fee and exhibit language; CDBG planning funds noted
Summary
Council discussed an agreement with Michael Baker tied to a Downtown Indiana-led solicitation, noted $20,000 of borough CDBG planning funds previously allocated for planning work and asked staff to clarify blank exhibit/fee language before finalizing the borough contract.
Council discussed a proposed agreement with Michael Baker to support downtown–university coordination on the 8th Street Corridor and related projects. Staff and council members said Downtown Indiana already has a primary agreement and that Michael Baker sought a separate agreement with the borough because the borough is a contributing partner.
Council members observed that exhibit language and a fee schedule in the draft agreement appeared blank; staff said the borough had $20,000 in CDBG planning funds allocated and recommended confirming whether the Michael Baker agreement carries any fee. Trajan (on the call) and staff agreed the matter was not time-sensitive and that the contract language should be clarified at a follow-up meeting (suggested Friday).
Council tabled the item pending clarification of the contract exhibit and fee language and requested staff to confirm whether a separate borough resolution for CDBG planning funds is required.
What’s next: staff will follow up with Michael Baker and Downtown Indiana, confirm the CDBG resolution status and return with a clarified contract for council consideration.
