Results and recommendations would then be presented to council for review and comment before proceeding to the next step. A public hearing and public comment period would be incorporated prior to the council work session on this topic. Council action could potentially include adoption of an updated set of policy principles. Step 2 is also the point at which the technical work related to master planning can begin. With input from the Staff Team, the Consultant Team would develop basic program information for the City government complex such as space need requirements and proximity assessments for potential occupants. Site assessment could also be conducted on the City-owned properties abutting 8th Ave. including geotechnical investigation and hazardous material assessment. End product: a Report and Recommendations document detailing background information, the public participation process, issues explored, major policy principles, architectural and urban design principles, and any other information that would inform the schematic design process in Step 3. Also, a Program Document, Geotechnical Report, and Haz-Mat Report would be completed by the end of Step 2. Estimated cost: to be developed during Step 1. Step 3 - Develop and Discuss the Options This step utilizes the recommendations and policy principles established during Step 2 to develop and refine schematic design options. The Staff Team and Consultant Team would collaborate in a fairly traditional schematic design process interspersed with opportunities for public input at appro- priate stages of development. Public participation at this point could include the use of an advisory committee, task force, focus groups, public workshops, and/or surveys. Periodic public updates could also be accomplished by using a variety of active and passive public information techniques such as press releases, a web site, briefings and open houses. Final schematic design options and recommendations would then be presented to council for review and comment before proceeding to the next phase of the project. Again, a public hearing and public comment period could be incorporated prior to council action at the conclusion of this step. End product: schematic design alternatives, phasing options, and cost estimates. Estimated cost: to be developed during Step 1 and 2.
