Title
Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 2 to Carlisle/Wortman Professional Services Agreement for Planning Services
Memorandum
The City has contracted with Carlisle/Wortman since the retirement of the City's Planning Manager to provide technical assistance to city planning staff on complex planning projects, to keep up with work load demands, and provide necessary support to the City's Planning Commission. The City originally entered into a not to exceed $25,000 contract for these services. Thereafter City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the contract (R-15-303) to increase the contract amount by $60,000 to a total not to exceed amount of $85,000 to provide for the continuation of these services while the City proceeds with hiring a planning manager.
To better serve the public while the hiring process for a planning manager continues it has been necessary to revise services and staffing provided by Carlisle/Wortman and its coordination with City staff.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: No additional funds are being requested for these services.
Carlisle/Wortman complies with the requirements of the City Non-discrimination and Living Wage Ordinances.
Amendment No. 2 to the Planning Services is recommended for approval.
