6.1 C <br /> Page 2 <br /> • Assessing public & stakeholder sentiment using in-depth interviews, surveys <br /> &focus groups <br /> The primary goal of the Data Instincts contract is to help the City keep the public <br /> informed via an open and transparent process. The City recognizes the tremendous <br /> community interest in the proposal to develop the 1,400-plus acre properky and will <br /> continue to provide details about the appiication process, necessary studies and <br /> schedule for the review process on the City's Web site at <br /> www.redwoodcity.orp/saltworks. Data lnstincts is providing essential services to help <br /> City staff maintain this level of commitment. <br /> Per the City Council's direction, the City and its consultant #eam are in the process of <br /> analyzing and evaluating "Tier One" issues (water supply, transportation, and <br /> jurisdictional overlays) associated with the Saltworks development proposal, with the <br /> expectation of reporting back to the City Council and the community in the first quarter <br /> of 2010. Data Instincts is assisting Ci#y staff with the coordination, notification and <br /> presentation of the materials associated with the "Tier One" evaluations. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may choose not to approve the contract amendment with Data Instincts or <br /> direct staff to modify the scope of work, or work with an alternative consultant, or <br /> perform the work in house. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The development proposal is subject to the Redwood City Planning Services cost <br /> recovery system; hence, the applicant has agreed to fully reimburse the City for all costs <br /> associated with processing the application. Further, the applicant and the City are <br /> negotiating a reimbursement agreement per Council's direction in September. With the <br /> approval of contract Amendment No. 1, the applicant will be required to submit funds to <br /> the City in order to cover the costs incurred. Consequently, there will be no fiscal impact <br /> to the City as a result of reviewing the development proposal. <br /> -��� <br /> e yon JiH as,AI <br /> , Senior Planner P ning, Housing, Economic Development Director <br /> � <br /> Peter Ingram ""` <br /> City Manager <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1.
