Fieldstone and City staff believe it to be in their mutual interest to coordinate all environmental studies, engineering, surveying and other related services for the projects due to their scope and length of time anticipated to complete them. Fieldstone and City staff also agree that Helming Engineering, Inc. should be utilized to coordinate the development process for the projects, Douglas L. Helming of Helming Engineering was chosen as most qualified to coordinate the development process due to Mr. Helmings twelve years of engineering experience in the Carlsbad/La Costa area and background on projects surrounding the proposed Fieldstone developments. In addition, Mr. Helming currently is employed by the City as a consultant planchecker and is familiar with City/Engineering Department policies and procedures. Fieldstone has agreed to deposit funds with the City to compensate Helming Engineering for work related to their projects. The funds are to be deposited in a City trust fund account and will also be utilized to retain other professional services necessary to accomplish right of way acquisitions, assessment engineering and bond financing of public facilities. A portion of funds deposited by Fieldstone under the agreement is subject to reimbursement or credit upon sale of bonds for assessment districts related to their projects. All costs eligible for reimbursement will be approved by the City Engineer. If proceedings to establish assessment districts are abandoned and no bonds are sold, no reimbursements will be made to Fieldstone except for funds remaining in the trust fund after final payments are made to consultants and administrative costs to the City are deducted. FISCAL IMPACT: All administrative and consultant costs will be covered by deposits made by Fieldstone to a City administered trust fund account. EXHIBlTS: 1. Resolution No.$O-$g 2.
