The Ad Hoc Committee for the two community centers had previously selected KDA to develop the Master Plans for the Washington Fruit Community Center and the Henry Beauchamp Community Center.  Council had previously budgeted for, and approved, $70,000 in REET 1 funds be used to develop the master plans.

KDA submitted cost estimates totaling $150,000 for the two master plans; exceeding the budget by $80,000.  KDA estimated that the work required for each community center master plan would be in an amount of $75,000.  Wanting an extensive, detailed plan for each community center, the Ad Hoc Committee decided that it would be in the city's best interest to not scale back the master plans in order to meet budget.  Instead, the Committee directed staff to look into the possibility of utilizing additional REET funds so that both plans could be funded.  With the assistance of finance, an additional $80,000 in REET funds were identified.  

If Council wants to proceed with both master plans then a budget appropriation is required.  If approved, staff would then award a contract to KDA to begin work on the two master plans in 2019.
