NAVARRE LIGHT POLE DECORATIONS continue� McMillan stated she personally likes the holiday lights since they are more festive and that perhaps the City could look at that later. Walsh suggested the Navarre Initiative be asked and the Park Commission also be approached. Printup stated it sounds like the flower baskets are questionable and that he is okay with not having the flower baskets. Printup asked if the Mayor is also interested in the flags as well. McMillan stated she would like to go ahead with just the banners tonight and perhaps look at the flags and holiday lights later. Walsh stated the Council can always revisit this later and that it would be nice to get something going now. Printup stated as a starting point he is fine with the banners but that at some point he would like the Council to consider flags. Levang moved,Printup seconded,to purc6ase and display banners on 321ight poles in Navarre and to seek support from the Navarre Initiative and the business community to supplement purchase of the banners. Walsh asked if the Council is interested in purchasing some extra banners. McMillan noted Staff will be gathering estimates for the banners and that they can determine later whether extra ones should be purchased. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0 11. NAVARRE STREET LIGHT AND SIDEWALK PROJECT—ENGINEERING FEE CHANGE REQUEST Edwards noted the Council authorized Bolton&Menk to oversee the construction of the Navarre lighting and sidewalk project for a fee not to exceed$54,050. Construction is now complete on the project less site restoration and minor punch list items. As a result of changed project conditions and timeline,Bolton &Menk is now reyuesting an additional$4,050 above the previously authorized not to exceed fee. Edwards stated even with the additional fee,the overall project is still projected to come in under budget. Walsh stated since the issues that came up were unforeseen given the transition in city engineers,he would be in favor of approving the additional fee,but that he will be a little tougher in the future. Martini stated in his mind there were enough issues that came up with this project that exceeded the initial amount. Martini noted there have been other projects that have exceeded the estimated oversight time and that Bolton&Menk has not charged for that. Martini indicated requesting additional fees are not something they will make a habit of. Page 21 of 26
