Fiscal Note
The estimated total cost of the Market Study ranges from $24,000 to $48,000 $50,000 to $75,000 for all three phases of the Study.

The City has not budgeted its share of the funding, so funding would require an appropriation from the City contingent reserve. The current reserve balance is $774,913. This Substitute Resolution authorizes a contract and an appropriation of up to $30,000 $20,000 from the Contingent Reserve for Phase One of the Market Study expense, with the remainder from private sector contributions.
