On January 6 we met with the design team and they proposed a meeting schedule which provides for three public meetings on the following dates: Wednesday, April 13 Present analysis concepts for input Wednesday, May 11 Present refined concept Wednesday, June 15 Present plan design standards Following the public meetings, there will be further refinement of the plan, several meetings with the task force, and the final concept, standards, and RFP is proposed to be presented to the City Council on September 12, 2005.
