Council authorizes $180,000 professional-services package for hotel/convention feasibility work
Summary
Council approved moving to tasks 2 and 3 of a hotel/convention center feasibility project with Garfield Public Private LLC — task 2 (architectural/interior design) for $135,000 and task 3 for construction estimates, with the total for both tasks stated as $180,000; budget allocations were discussed and council approved the work.
Council voted to authorize professional services with Garfield Public Private LLC to move from an initial feasibility study into design and construction-estimating work for a proposed hotel/convention center and related parking.
A council speaker (S10) told the council that task 1 of the feasibility study is complete and that the requested scope for the next phases includes $135,000 for architectural, engineering and interior design (task 2) and additional work for construction estimates (task 3), for a combined total of $180,000. He said part of the funding was already budgeted in the current budget and the remainder was included in the FY 25-26 budget.
A council member moved and the council approved the tasks; the transcript records the motion’s outcome line as "And it passes, 4, 5," and a specific roll-call tally was not recorded in the spoken minutes. Staff indicated the tasks would run concurrently and that the city will manage the contract and budgeting across the current and upcoming fiscal-year budget cycles.
