City Council Minutes <br />November 4, 2019 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Portner stated he does not believe we are behind on this as the project wasn't <br />officially approved until July 1. He explained consulting contracts do not require <br />requests for proposals to be done so staff approached Mr. Staley because of his <br />expertise and respect in the industry. He added staff can put together a request for <br />proposals if the Council wishes. <br />Mayor Dietz indicated his main thing is to have naming rights assigned when the <br />facility opens and he believes the rest can come after the building is completed, <br />possibly in phases. He shared Councilmember Wagner's concerns about the cost to <br />begin the process. He stated he is not opposed to allowing Councilmember Wagner <br />to use her marketing experience to see what she can come up with adding all of the <br />Council should be willing to assist as needed with visiting businesses, etc. <br />Council consensus is for staff to prepare a request for proposal and bring back for <br />Council review. <br />10.2 2020 - 2024 Capital Improvement Plan <br />Ms. Ziemer presented the staff report. <br />I1' Iplacements <br />IT Manager Bob Pearson and IT Specialist Jake Walz presented the IT replacements. <br />Council consensus was to authorize $115,000 in information technology/software <br />improvements in the Capital Improvement Plan with the remaining $65,000 coming <br />from Elk River Municipal Utilities. <br />Building and Safety Division <br />Ms. Fischer indicated the Building and Safety Division is requesting to purchase two <br />plan review tables which would allow plans to be submitted and reviewed digitally. <br />Councilmember Wagner stated a majority of the feedback she receives from the <br />public is about communication and not requesting digital technology. Ms. Fischer <br />explained technology makes the jobs easier for larger contractors and improves <br />efficiencies for contractors and inspectors. Councilmember Wagner confirmed <br />people will not be required to submit plans digitally. Ms. Fischer confirmed it will <br />not be a requirement. <br />Council consensus was for the Building and Safety Department to purchase one plan <br />review table in 2020 and see how it goes. <br />Park Impmvement Fund <br />Mayor Dietz indicated he would like to review the formula for the park improvement <br />fund.
