September 1, 2010 Pequot Lakes North Sluetter Road Improvements Study Proposal Page 2of3 As was stated in our Wildlife Trail study proposal, our efforts to assist the City in the preliminary special assessment hearing slated for your December meeting are outside the scope of the study. We can assist the City staff in preparing notices (the City would get the notice to the newspaper and would mail out notices to property owners). We would prepare a handout / presentation for,the preliminary special assessment hearing, and we would present at the hearing and be available to assist during the question and answer period. The estimated fee for these services (depends on the level of assistance needed) would be $950. We recommend a separate meeting (maybe before your regular City Council meeting) for special assessment hearings — they can take an hour depending on the level of public input / questions. Also, we recommend that the City Council discuss, and if possible, tentatively select an initially preferred special assessment approach before December. We can then focus our presentation around this approach (too many options can confuse people). After the preliminary special assessment hearing, should the City want to move forward, we would prepare a proposal for the City's consideration that would include field survey; design, bidding, and construction phase assistance; and final assessment hearing assistance. If you are in agreement with our proposed scope of services, please initial as appropriate, sign below, and return one copy of this letter to us as our authorization to proceed. We appreciate the opportunity to serve the City. WIDSETH SMITH NOLTING Timothy .
