CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING PENDING LITIGATION WITH P & D CONSULTANTS CITY ATTY. CITY MGR. % That the City Council, by motion, authorize a closed session regarding pending litigation as follows: I move that the City Council hold a closed session to discuss pending litigation regarding a contract dispute with P & D Consultants arising from the design work on Aviara Community Park project, pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(b)( I). P & D Consultants contracted with the City to prepare the Master Plan for Aviara Community Park. P & D Consultants claim that they are entitled to compensation for changes in the design phase scope of work. City staff maintains that the revisions were design corrections within the scope of work activities designated in the design contract. They are claiming additional compensation in the amount of approximately $1 81,000. Informal attempts to resolve this dispute have been unsuccessful to date and the parties are pursuing the contractual dispute resolution procedures which may culminate in litigation if the dispute remains unresolved.
