County Staff will lead the process and schedule for keeping the Planning Commission and the County Commission apprised of project updates. County Staff will manage public outreach to various community groups, cities, institutions and other County departments. CREÄ is available to assist as requested through an email or memo of understanding. This time will be billed towards the contingency.

County Staff will be responsible for all arrangements such as invitations, refreshments, communications etc. for Working Group meetings. CREÄ will be copied or forwarded all correspondence related to the project; unless otherwise advised by County Commissioners. These include correspondence from the Working Group, other departments, Cities, Planning Commission, County Professional Services Agreement Page 21 Commission and the public. CREÄ will record these in an online Communications Log that will be available for viewing and download by County Staff through Google docs. 5.2 Additional Services The project and budget are included in the scope of services. Any change in tasks will be recorded in a memo of understanding and additional hours will be applied to the budget contingency identified in Items 6 and 7. Currently there is no budget for an EIS.

Review Process and Timeline · The project schedule is dependent on the timely review and response by County Staff of reports, memos, etc. that are delivered by CREÄ. A 1-week review period is built into each major deliverable. A delay in the review could cause a delay in the schedule. CREÄ will adjust the schedule when such delays occur. · The process is built around a delivery a week in advance of material for Planning Commission, Working Group and County Commission meetings. 6.
