I am writing to request that Consent Item F.6 be moved to the Action Item Agenda for the City
Commission meeting scheduled on Tuesday, Oct 28. Consent Item F.6 is to Authorize the City
Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with the Lakota Group for the
Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District (NCOD) Design Guidelines Update.
It's important the City hire a consulting firm with at least one historical architect who not only
serves in a leadership role but also meets the U.S. Secretary of Interior's Professional
Qualifications Standards. Upon reviewing the Lakota Group website, no one on their staff has
a degree in historic preservation, much less meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional
Qualification Standards. Hence, the City should not award this PSA to the Lakota Group.
