Committee recommends Green Top Planning to lead city-center consultant work
Summary
After a staff report on consultant outreach, members moved to recommend Green Top Planning as the city-center consultant to help update the comprehensive plan and lead facilitated sessions; staff will follow up with contract scope and flexible hours options.
Staff told the committee that outreach to three consultants produced one local candidate—Green Top Planning (Matt Brinkley and colleagues)—and recommended the firm to lead a city-center comprehensive-plan amendment and a series of facilitated work sessions.
Members discussed scope options ranging from a reduced schedule (about 24 hours) to a full package (about 45 hours). Staff noted the consultant proposed a higher-fee full schedule and recommended building flexibility into the contract so optional sessions could be added later. A motion was made to recommend Green Top Planning to the city; the motion was seconded and recorded. The committee asked staff to confirm contract language and a not-to-exceed hours limit before forwarding a formal recommendation.
No final contract was signed at the meeting; staff will return with a proposed contract and any budget adjustments required to cover the consultant hours.
