PROMENADE PHASE 4 ENGINEERING SERVICES APPROVED
Executive Director Neal explained the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) previously had used URS
Corporation's services during previous phases of the Promenade. He added that staff recommended URS
Corporation for professional services for the concept development of the final phase of the Promenade. This
project was initiated with the redevelopment of the adjacent Byerly's site. Staff will be working with the
development team to develop a concept plan for the water feature and for the unfinished walking path of the
Promenade. It is anticipated that the proposed concept plans will be available to coincide with the final
development plan approval of the Byerly's project. This study will be funded through the Centennial Lakes TIF
District.
Engineering Director Houle said staff was working with Nine Mile Creek Watershed District to develop a master
plan for storm water quality improvements for the northerly area of Centennial Lakes. The watershed might
have funds available for the storm water quality improvements, which could be included with the construction
of the water feature and walking path.
After a brief discussion, Commissioner Sprague made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Swenson to
authorize the HRA Executive Director to contract with URS Corporation for Engineering Services for
Promenade Phase 4.
Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
Chair Hovland declared the meeting adjourned at 10:33 p.m.
