CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF CONTINUED CONSULTANT SERVICES:
The Executive Director presented the staff reports dated April
22, 1994 and May 4, 1994. This item was continued from the April
25, 1994 meeting when Agency Members requested copies of the
attorneys billing to compare with services provided by the
consultants to determine if there was any duplication of effort.
Agency Member Bowman commented on six months' of billing, all
dated April 1. The Finance Director advised that the bills all
came in at once and that is when it became apparent that
budgetary allocations were being exceeded. Agency Member Bowman
stated that there appeared to be duplication and he expressed his
displeasure because it appeared that money was being thrown away.
The Deputy Executive Director explained that the projects for the
next year have been identified and the number of hours will be
presented to the Agency for approval for each of the project
areas.
Agency Member Kerry remarked that there also needed to be some
consistency in making phone calls to the City Attorney.
Agency Member Bowman proposed that the Redevelopment Consultant
be paid what is due but he was not in favor of allocating any
more money for future items until staff advises specifically
where the money is being spent. The Executive Director stated
that there will be a meeting on the budget Monday, May 16 and
this is an issue that should be raised. Agency Member Age
suggested that staff be proactive rather than reactive so the
situation does not occur again.
The Executive Director stated that he had negotiated a reduction
in some of the fees as a result of discussions and it would be
appropriate to pay what is due and then, in the future, the
Agency will review specifically how the money will be spent
