ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA
BILL NO. 19-115, a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with
Counsilman-Hunsaker for design services relating to the Indoor Aquatic Facility Project, in the
City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Reading and Passage.
Council Member Presson asked about how many more consultants are needed for the project,
especially during the pre-planning of the project. City Manager Scott Meyer and Mayor Bob Fox
both expressed that City staff does not have the expertise to advise on the aquatics facility, and
Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Regular Session July 15, 2019 KK-259
they also noted that the cost of the consultant is a small fraction of the overall cost of the project.
Mr. Meyer stated it is important to hire good consultants to make a good decision. He said that
Counsilman-Hunsaker has worked a lot in the Midwest, and they are familiar with the humidity
levels in the local environment.
Council Member Ryan Essex added that he had received calls about consultant fatigue. He said
that although the City has great staff, they don't have expertise to design a $15 million aquatic
center.
Council Member Stacy Kinder asked the City Manager to reassure Council that the City is not
paying to have the same work done over again. Mr. Meyer responded that money-wise the
previous consultant did about half of the work. The work they completed belongs to the City, and
does not have to be done again. Mrs. Kinder asked how the consultant, the City and the School
will work with the Committee. Mr. Meyer said that he has met with School Superintendent Neil
Glass in an effort to reach an agreement. Mayor Bob Fox is on the Committee. The Committee is
working on a list of priorities, and then the consultant will take that list and make design
recommendations based on the available funding. Mrs. Kinder added that even though the School
is a partner on the project, it is still a City project which is being paid for by the City taxpayers.
Mayor Fox stated that the City and School must agree on construction design before they can
move on with the project. Mayor Fox said we want to do this project right, and the use of this
consultant is a wise use of tax dollars.
