That correction will be made. e Mr. Obie expressed concern of paying The Luckman Partnership $30,000 and questioned whether it relates to the value received at this point. He requested staff hold off paying the amount for two weeks and give further clarification to Council. Manager replied the City had hired an architect, used its services, and was obligated to pay for those services. Manager said it might open the City up to some kind of lawsuit. In regard to the scope of work, he said staff was also concerned. There had been considerable negotiations and requests for further information before finalizing the payments. City Attorney added it was staff's judgment that the Council had asked for services from that company, those services were rendered, and have been valued at $30,000. It would not be appropriate for the City to with- hold paying for those services. Mr. Obie stated he did not feel the City had received services rendered to that extent.
