CPMS Agenda Item B.3 CONSENT CALENDAR Meeting Date: June 9, 2015 TO: FROM: Mayor and Councilmembers Jennifer Carman, Director of Planning & Environmental Review CONTACT: Anne Wells, Advance Planning Manager SUBJECT: Amendment No. 4 to an Agreement for Professional Services with Andrew Newkirk RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4 to Agreement No. 2013-086 for Professional Services with Andrew Newkirk in the amount of $61,000 for a total notto-exceed contract amount of $215,500 and extending the Agreement through December 31, 2015 (Attachment 1). BACKGROUND: In October 2013, the City Manager authorized a professional services agreement with Andrew Newkirk to support Advance Planning programs, including implementation of General Plan policies and assistance with preparation of long-range planning documents, public outreach support, climate action plan studies, and general research. The contract was funded in the Advance Planning Professional Services budget and has been amended on March 18, 2013, July 14, 2014, and February 17, 2015 to include Housing Element, New Zoning Ordinance, and Local Coastal Program support services. Including all amendments, the contract totals $154,500 with a June 30, 2015 termination date. The amendments enabled Mr. Newkirk to support staff with expanded public outreach and analysis related to the New Zoning Ordinance Project, provide an extensive inventory of the City's existing land use standards for comparison with the New Zoning Ordinance Project, and assist with the preparation of the now adopted and statecertified 2015-2023 Housing Element and related regulations. Mr. Newkirk has provided project assistance to the City at a rate of approximately 20 to 25 hours a week since October 2013 and staff is pleased with his performance. 1
Meeting Date: June 9, 2015 DISCUSSION: The Advance Planning Division currently is undertaking two complex planning projects, the preparation of the New Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program, in addition to the Division's other ongoing responsibilities. As a result, staffing needs in Advance Planning are high. In order to respond to these demands and to ensure that some of the City's important planning projects move forward with expanded public outreach, staff is requesting this fourth funding amendment to the contract with Mr. Newkirk. If authorized, Mr. Newkirk will provide expanded support at approximately 30 hours a week to the Advance Planning Manager, and will largely focus his attention on assisting with development of the New Zoning Ordinance and Local Coastal Program including extensive public outreach for both projects as well as assisting with the review of local planning projects outside the City's jurisdiction. FISCAL IMPACTS: The two-year FY 13-14 and FY 14-15 Budget includes a $61,000 encumbrance in the Advance Planning Professional Services - General Plan Fund (5-4300-504) for General Plan consulting and technical services. Therefore, no additional appropriation is required to fund the proposed contract amendment. ALTERNATIVES: The City Council could elect not to authorize the recommended action. If the recommended action is not authorized, staff will monitor and manage services according to existing contract terms; however, managing existing resources to address the expanding services provided in Advance Planning will cause delays in developing and/or implementing the programs and services provided by the Division.
