City Council Minutes <br />April 7, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />8.2 LSE Architects Letter of Engagement - Northbound and Cannabound <br />The staff report was presented. <br />Mayor Dietz asked what if we engage with the architect, and the property that they are looking at is not <br />acquired. Mr. Stremcha stated that they then will pivot to an alternate site, the preliminary conceptual <br />drawings will be null and void, and the architect will keep $15,000 of the retainer. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if we had any alternate sites in mind. Mr. Stremcha stated that they have three <br />potential prospective sites. <br />Mayor Dietz asked about the estimated costs, saying there would not be enough in the Liquor Store <br />Fund. Mr. Stremcha explained that bonding is an opportunity, with the payments being paid in <br />increments of time or an intergovernmental fund loan to help support the payment. <br />Mayor Dietz confirmed that no tax money would be used for this project.
