The City Manager shall oversee the preparation of an evaluation of estimated city professional staff service charges for projects that, in the opinion of the City Manager, due to the complexity of planning issues, site design, research and analysis and public review processes may exceed the forty hour professional staff service threshold.

The City Manager shall prepare an itemized evaluation for all of the anticipated work requirements, the projected professional staff hours and the in-effect wages and benefit rates for all nonexempt employees responsible for the work. This evaluation shall be submitted to both the City Council and the project applicant as a guidepost for the estimation of total staff hours necessary to complete the project under consideration.
