were comfortable with the project's schedule, staff was to first pursue a reduced
architectural fee
Since that work session: a reduced architectural fee was agreed upon by both parties,
the schematic design was completed by Vetter Johnson Architects, Todd
Christopherson from AMCON sent the project costs to Springsted for bond issuance,
and two open houses have been conducted to receive public input.

Architects and authorize the City Administrator to execute them.
