13. REPORT ITEMS
13.1 REPORT - COURTHOUSE SQUARE DESIGN OPTIONS
BACKGROUND: There have been numerous proposals to re-unify
Courthouse Square over the past three decades, with the most recent
occurring with a design competition in 2009 resulting in the selection of
the SWA Group design that included four event pavilions, waterwall and
stage, light arbor and streets with limited parking. This design was most
recently reaffirmed by the Council in October 2014.
On September 22, 2015 Council was provided a report on various
financing options that could be used for the design and construction of
the Courthouse Square Re-unification Project. At that meeting, Council
directed staff to move forward with the project and utilize existing funds in
combination with proceeds from issuing certificates of participation up to
a total of $10 million. With the SWA Group design having an estimated
cost of $17 million, this action signaled to staff that a new process
needed to be undertaken to develop a simpler less costly design. In
addition, this action established an anticipated timeline for construction to
begin in the Spring/Summer 2016 and be completed by the 2016 Holiday

season.
Due to the tight timeline, there are many critical milestones, with the first
being the identification of the design and retention of a design consultant.
On October 6, staff met with the Downtown Subcommittee to discuss
basic design features that should be incorporated into the design of the
Courthouse Square Reunification Project. The Downtown Subcommittee
provided direction to staff relating to the design of Hinton and Exchange
streets as well as baseline concepts for features within the square.
Council members on the Committee requested that the materials be
presented to the full Council for additional direction and approval. In
addition, the Downtown Subcommittee supported staff’s recommendation
to work with the Chamber to develop a public outreach process to vet the
design of the programmable area of the square.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
Public Works and Housing and Community Services Departments that
the Council, by motion, (1) approve basic design guidelines, (2) approve
the public outreach process for the interior of the square, (3) delegate
authority to select a consulting team to design both on and off-site
improvements associated with the re-unification of Courthouse Square to
the City Manager and, by resolution, authorize the City Manager to
appropriate any private donations as well as up to $500,000 from the
General Fund unassigned fund balance to proceed with project design.
