215 <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta indicated that at the next Council meeting, staff <br />would be requesting Council's approval to go out to bid. The <br />intent of the rendering was to get the rendering done as closely to <br />that time period as possible. Council does have the ability to <br />change the bid until the time that bids are received. The issues <br />in question need to be resolved before the City goes out to bid but <br />if that were not possible, Council could still go out to bid to <br />keep the process moving. The bid process period is at least 30 <br />days. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner referred to the staff report and asked whose <br />concerns were listed. She also asked what the purpose was of doing <br />the renderings. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver was concerned with showing the public what was <br />being planned for downtown. He felt that it was not clear to the <br />residents what downtown will look like. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico was concerned with what the downtown will look like <br />as well. He has had residents express their concerns as to what is <br />going to change and how it would look. He felt that there was <br />still time to keep the process moving and create a mock-up or <br />rendering. He did not feel comfortable as a Councilmember voting <br />on this issue without knowing what downtown was going to look like <br />or what the changes would be. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner stated that because the materials have not been <br />selected it would be difficult to do a rendering. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico did not want to slow the process down. He would feel <br />more comfortable knowing what materials were being considered and <br />the general idea of the project. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta stated that the different samples of sidewalk <br />materials would be brought to Council for its review. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift stated that the reason for a rendering is to give a <br />sense of scale as to what happens to the sidewalks and the corners <br />and a sample of the materials proposed to be used. Staff will also <br />be providing slides and pictures of materials used in other <br />downtowns. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner asked if staff recommended having a workshop <br />after Council reviews the selection of materials. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta explained that some of the materials that are <br />proposed are minor in the total cost of this project. This is why <br />staff was comfortable with going out to bid without materials <br />selected. <br /> <br />12/1/92 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
