Administrative Recommendation:
City Council grant permission to enter into Amendment No. 1 to Consultant Agreement No. AG-0-385 "

requirements is not available and therefore application of current stormwater management practices is
cost prohibitive and often not feasible. The project is divided into two phases. Phase 1 will be an
evaluation of several potential altematives leading to a decision by the City on the preferred course of
action. Phase 2 will support implementation of the preferred action by developing recommendations for
new policies and design standards.

Phase 2

redevelopment in highly urbanized areas.

The budget for Phase 1 is $100,000 from the 432 Fund. The Phase 2 6udget will be determined when
