e) 4th Street Pushcart Status - The bid for the production of the carts came in at $124,000. The bids came in higher because of the rise in steel costs. The City would like to modify the settlement agreement and the City Attorney's office has been in contact with operator's attorney who is in agreement with the proposed terms and conditions. The modification to the terms and conditions will be an agreement on the specifications, standards and the manufacturer of the vendor cart with the increase in the cost of the carts being covered by the City. The difference would be $28,000, which may increase slightly since the bid expired at the end of December. The next step is to get the modification to the agreement formalized and approved by City Council. Once approved by City Council, the carts will be produced at a rate of two carts every six weeks. f) Sav-On Lofts - Planning staff will be visiting the site on Friday, January 21, 2005 to do the final for planning. The Charles Company has engaged Tanya Weeks, Realtor, to lease the property. g) Sycamore Garaqe Landscapinq - The parking lot improvements have been completed and signed off by the Planning Division. The monthly parking fee is now being released. 5. PUBLIC COMMENTS - Tim Rush commented that the Spurgeon Building needs to be sold to a developer who can do a reuse project.
