She felt it would be good to <br />understand the feasibility study that was used to create the cost estimates for catalyst projects in <br />the existing document, and gain a better understanding what that looks like in today's dollars. It <br />may be necessary to hire a consultant, especially if the board is talking about adding other projects <br />to the project plan, but she looked to Ms. Harris for guidance. <br />Ms. Harris's recollection was the consultant the city hired at the time of TIRZ creations <br />
