Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: OCT 61986 of the City Commission SUBJECT: CITY/CONSULTANT CONTRACT LOURDES SLA7YK FRAME REFERENCES Cesar H. Odio CITY COVVIISSION MEETING, City Manager ENCLOSURES. OCTOBER 23, 1986 It is recommended that the City Commission authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Lourdes Slazyk, for professional planning services in connection with the Downtown Master Plan and D.R.I. project and the citywide comprehensive plan, with funds in the amount of $21,257 to be expended from FY'86-'87 Special Programs and Accounts; per the attached resolution. The proposed professional services agreement with Lourdes Slazyk is required to complete the work on the Downtown Master Plan and D.R.I. Ms. Slazyk is the only one remaining of the three consultant planners hired to prepare the Downtown Master Plan and Q.R.I.; therefore her continued assistance is critical to the Planning Department's abii .:.y to complete this project. Phase I of the project is almost complete, however, the following remains to be completed over the next year: Completion of the Policy Plan for the Master Plan by the end of 1986, The Development Order for the D.R.I. from now thru mid-1987, and Implementation of the Downtown Master Plan thru mid-1987. Nis. Slazyk will also be assisting in beginning the new Citywide Comprehensive Plan. It is important to mention that Ms. Slazyk has been working in the Planning Department since November, 1983; first as an intern and then in April, 1985, as a consultant on the Downtown Master Plan and D.R.I. She is, therefore uniquely able to be of assistance in the above mentioned projects. Funds for this contract have been encumbered from the downtown project budget; account #921008, and are currently available. `CHO/SR "IF
