The City Manager shall determine whether or not to place the issue on the agenda for a meeting
of the City Council for discussion. If the scope change will result in an increase in cost by more
than twenty percent (20%), the City Council shall hold a public hearing to solicit comments from
the public regarding how the change of scope should be resolved.
Section 3. Material Change to Schedule. In the event that the schedule of a transportation
improvement project will result in an extension of any specific project schedule by more than

public hearing to solicit comments from the public regarding how the schedule change should be
resolved.
Section 4. Definition of Material Change. "Material Change" as used in this policy means
