Mr. Bill Apple, Associate Planner City of Santa Ana, Planning Division March 11, 2008 Page 15 comments received at the public hearing. URS will prepare a tabular summary of comments received at the meeting, which will be addressed in the Final EIR, as necessary. It is assumed that no formal presentation by URS will be required as part of the public hearing on the Draft EIR. 5. Response to Comments and Prepare Final EIR Following the required public/agency review period on the Draft EIR, URS will respond to agency and public comments. URS will respond to one round of City comments and produce a Final EIR for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. The scope and extent of public and agency review comments cannot be precisely determined before their receipt. If additional effort is required to complete the Draft Final EIR, then URS will notify the City and work up to the limits of our budget, pending City approval of a contract modification should additional time be needed by URS to respond to comments received on the Draft EIR. It should be noted that environmental impacts may not always be mitigated to a less than significant level. When this occurs, impacts are considered unavoidable significant impacts. If such impacts are identified as part of the proposed project addressed herein, a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be prepared and included as part of the Final EIR. URS will be responsible for filing the project Notice of Determination (NOD) with the County Clerk's Office and State Clearinghouse Office of Planning and Research. URS assumes that the City will provide URS with any filing fee checks to cover Fish and Wildlife fees that will be required to file the NOD. This fee, or any other project -related filing fees, are not included in this proposal. 6. Attend Meetings In addition to the above -referenced public scoping meeting during the NOP/IS review period and public hearing on the Draft EIR, URS anticipates attending an additional community meeting (e.g., Historic Resources Commission) for this project. It is anticipated that two members from the URS team, including the URS Project Manager, will attend this meeting. It is assumed that the graphic presentation materials (e.g. boards) used for the public scoping meeting will be utilized at this community meeting. URS will record verbal comments provided at the meeting in tabular format. It too is assumed that the City will secure the scoping meeting venue/facility, and all associated requirements (e.g., insurance, etc.). At this time, URS assumes that there will also be one public meeting on the proposed project before the City`s Planning Commission and one before the City Council. It is assumed that a maximum of three staff from the URS project team, including the URS Project Manager and one staff member from Discovery, will attend these particular meetings. Finally, it is assume that two coordination meetings will be held with City staff on this project in addition to the project kick-off meeting.
