What: A request for proposals for a program manager consultant team to help develop and manage Spring Forward SGF: monthly reporting to the Board, a project log, pre-screening of projects, a 10-year implementation plan and an online scenario-planning tool.
Where it stands: Five proposals received; evaluation under way. Estimated fee $500,000 to $1 million, paid from half-cent funds. No Board action was requested on October 15.
Concerns: Cost versus direct project spending, public perception, whether it is an eligible use of voter-approved funds or belongs in the 4% overhead pool, and whether Council approval is required.
Next: Discussion continues at the next Board meeting.
