    Nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS for apparently very open-ended contracts does NOT instill confidence unless more specifics and deliverables are provided. Consider the documentation/analysis done over 2 years that finally resulted in Council’s OK of the housing element on Feb. 21. City staff should know by now and advise Council about what’s required and provide much more detail. In fact, qualified city staff should perform most of the work that’s being proposed for these contracts.
