Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - November 4, 1991 Page - 4 - 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Resolution Approving Contractual Services Agreement with Kotin, Regan & Mouchly. Council Member Santos said he felt this Agreement was premature because a meeting was to be held on the Marina Master Plan on Thursday. He asked if the contract could be deferred to the next City Council Meeting. City Manager Dick Randall noted the report from the City Council Marina/Golf Course Committee. He said this Agreement is needed to obtain the necessary financial data and to keep the program moving. Council Member Santos said he did not feel issues such as infrastructure costs, etc. , had been addressed. Development Director Bill Rugg said the proposed contract is to help the City prepare the request for qualifications and will set forth the format for the submission of financial and qualifications data for developers wishing to be considered for development and construction of facilities approved in the Master Plan. He said, if the City does not obtain this format, they cannot accurately review developers' proposals. He said this contract is intended to assist in the developer selection process. Council Member Perry said she understood this contract would create the model so the City could test the financial feasibility. Mr. Rugg said that had already been done, but this contract was to determine if the developers could actually do what they say they can do financially. He said this gives information to plug into the basic model of financial feasibility. Council Member Santos asked if the City had adopted the Marina Master Plan. Mr. Rugg said there are several more steps in the process. He said the Plan would not be ready for City Council final adoption until March 1992. He said, however, if they wish to proceed with selection of a developer so that the Plan can be implemented immediately upon adoption, there are certain things that need to be done first, including this contract. Council Member Santos said he felt the program should remain open and more public comments should be obtained. He suggested that the overall community and surrounding neighborhood had not yet been given the opportunity to participate in the process and to express their views. Mr. Rugg said there had been at least five meetings on the Master Plan, all of which had been open to the public and had been attended by the public.
