Prescott City Council Joint Special Meeting/ <br />Study Session — October 21, 2008 Page 11 <br />Councilman Roecker said that with the way that Lowe's has acted through <br />the whole issue he would suggest that they give the City the money first. <br />He said that they did a lot of harm to the community and he doesn't want <br />to be waiting on them. Councilman Bell said that they should not make <br />the payment to the engineers until Lowe's has paid the City. <br />Councilwoman Suttles said that she is seeing it from a different direction; <br />that it is great to see Lowe's get of the dime. She asked if they would be <br />going through this process continually until the wall is up. Mr. Nietupski <br />said that he hoped not. He said that the City could request that Lowe's <br />make the payment to the City in advance of the City proceeding. <br />Mayor Wilson said that it is a separation of control. He is okay with <br />moving forward, but if the Council prefers to have the payment in hand <br />before the City pays for the services, he would support that as well. <br />Mr. Nietupski said that Lowe's does have an engineer doing the design <br />and an independent engineer doing the review. This is a third engineer <br />reviewing the plans to ensure the City is getting an appropriate design. <br />Council agreed to keep this item off the Consent Agenda and contact <br />Lowe's for payment prior to paying for the services. <br />K. Approval of a professional services agreement with J2 Engineering and <br />Environmental Design for engineering services to update the FEMA flood <br />plain determination of Granite Creek in an amount not to exceed <br />$92,935.00 (reimbursed by Yavapai County Flood Control District). <br />Mr. Nietupski said that this item was to approve a professional services <br />agreement with J2 Engineering and Environmental Design, LLC for the <br />engineering analysis, preparation and submittal of an updated FEMA <br />floodplain determination for all of Granite Creek with the City. He said that <br />it will also include updating the 1996 City of Prescott Area Drainage <br />Master Plan Hydrologic Modeling Report which will provide storm flow <br />analysis for all named creeks with the City limits. <br />Councilman Lamerson asked if Prescott Creeks has had any <br />collaboration on the project. Mr. Nietupski said that they have not; it is <br />purely about delineation of the floodplain. Councilman Lamerson asked if <br />Prescott Creeks was involved in any way. After additional discussion, <br />Councilman Lamerson asked that the item be pulled from the Consent <br />Agenda. <br />
