STAFF REPORT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Concord Group - Arden-Guthrie Market Study
As you know portions of the Arden- Guthrie Area have been rezoned to Public Commercial/
Recreational (PCR) from Residential Medium/High(RMH) at the March 1st meeting of the
Common Council. Arguments for the zone change were supported in part by a market study
prepared by the Concord Group, an independent market research firm. When the issue of
rezoning was initially considered Planning Department staff asked if the Economic Development
Agency (EDA) could finance the cost of the market study. After soliciting proposals and
interviewing prospective consultants, the Concord Group was selected and placed under
agreement to conduct the study. A purchase order was used since the original cost was less than
$25,000.
Following receipt of the study, a series of briefings were held with representatives of the
Planning Department, City Attorney's office, Mayor and Council offices. The extent of the
meetings went beyond the original scope of work authorized under the purchase order. Thus the
consultant billings for time spent have exceeded the $25,000 authorized under purchase order by
$7,800. Planning Department and City Attorney staff agree that the costs are appropriate and
incurred to benefit of the City.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Commission authorize additional payment for services in the amount
of$7,800 to the Concord Group.
