<br />2, Executive Committee Report:
<br />
<br />a)
<br />
<br />Three-month Budget Extension.
<br />Tim Yantos noted that the NCDA typically adopts an annual administrative
<br />budget for the following calendar year by July 1 of each year. Mr. Yantos noted
<br />that the uncertainty of the future direction of Northstar makes it difficult at this
<br />time to prepare a budget for the next 12 months. Therefore, staffare
<br />recommending that the NCDA extend the term of the current budget through
<br />September 30, 2004 with no additional contributions from members. Jeanne
<br />Mason made a motion to approve the Executive Committee recommendation
<br />that the NCDA extend the period oft. he current budget of July 1, 2003 to June
<br />30, 2004 through to September 30, 2004 with no increase in spending nor any
<br />additional contribution £rom members. The motion was seconded by Kobert
<br />Bamette and passed unanimously on a voice vote.
<br />
<br />b)
<br />
<br />2004 Luter[m Prof=ssional Services Contract Amendments. Tim Yantos noted
<br />that additional funding for the professional service contracts with Richardson,
<br />Richter & Associates and Ken Stevens contracts is needed at this time due to the
<br />high level of activity over the last 10 months on BNSF negotiations, advanced
<br />preliminary engineering and preparation of the FTA submittals. Mr. Yantos
<br />noted also that the Himle Homer public involvement contract is due to expire on
<br />June 30. Staff are recommending that the NCDA enter into the following
<br />contract amendments so that community involvement, public information and
<br />BNSF negotiations, and project management work on the Northstar project may
<br />continue:
<br />
<br />i)
<br />
<br />Amendment No. 1 with Ken Stevens increasing the contract amount by
<br />$30,000 for work within the current scope of services;
