Project Management Committee plans pre-briefing to Solvang city council as Stantec report nears
Summary
The committee agreed to press Stantec for an earlier report and to send a pre-briefing letter to the Solvang City Council outlining the district's goals so political leaders hear staff-backed options before public debate.
The Project Management Committee on Tuesday discussed steps to coordinate with the Solvang City Council as the district awaits a consultant report from Stantec. Chair said the committee should set political groundwork before the council meeting so elected officials "hear what our goals are" and staff can answer technical questions.
Committee members said Stantec's report is currently scheduled for April but might arrive earlier; one member said officials should press Stantec for delivery in March or April so the district can brief Solvang in advance. Staff agreed to draft a letter "to be on record prior to that Solvang City Council meeting" outlining preliminary findings and the district's goals.
The committee emphasized planning two parallel tracks: finalizing technical cost estimates and assembling a political outreach strategy. Chair recommended that district staff (Julie) meet with the Solvang mayor and city manager ahead of the council discussion to present options and ensure the council hears a coordinated briefing rather than only public comment.
