Purpose & Explanation
From April-May 2025, staff presented several concepts for the downtown property, then returned with a revised concept and financial analysis based on Council input. City Council requested staff proceed toward developing an RFP seeking firms to support a City-led preliminary site plan. City Council requested that staff pursue further market analysis to confirm the financial feasibility of the concept plan prior to issuing the RFP. Staff has procured a market analysis study and prepared a draft RFP.
Staff is now seeking Council input and confirmation of the following:
1. Comments on market analysis
2. Confirmation to issue an RFP and award a contract for preliminary site plan; Selection of a Council Liaison to assist staff with the consultant selection
3. Confirmation of a site identity/project name
