COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
FROM: Michael Multari, Community Development Dir. By: Terry Sanville,Principal Plan.
SUBJECT: Authorization to extend the Contract Associate Planner position to June 30,
1990.
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the Community Development
Department to execute a contract retaining a Contract Associate Planner to June 30, 1990.
THE SITUATION
In 1987, the City Council authorized the Community Development Department to hire a
Contract Associate Planner for one year with the possibility of a six month extension.
The purpose of this temporary staff increase was to assist permanent staff with current
planning activities and special projects while the new General Plan is being prepared.
The one-year contract period for the Contract Associate Planner position expired December
1, 1988. The contract was administratively extended (as allowed by the original
agreement) for six months -- to May 1989. There is enough money in the Community
Development Department's budget to cover that extension period. However, longer-term
support -- at least until the end of FY 1989-90 -- is needed.
While substantial work has been done on updating the Land Use Element and Circulation
Elements, the lion's share of the public review process and environmental studies are
still ahead of us. In addition, the Community Development Department is starting work on
updating the Open Space, Conservation, and Park and Recreation Elements. At the same
time, permit activities in the department have continued at high levels and work on
special projects has increased.
The Community Development Department needs to retain the Contract Associate Planner for
an additional 12 months. The city and the planner would enter into a contract that would
extend to June 30, 1990.
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSAL
The existing Community Development Department budget will likely cover the cost of the
contract position through FY 1988-89. For FY 1989-90, the cost of the position will be
approximately $40,000. By authorizing the CAO to enter into a contract, the council is
giving advance commitment to funding the position for the next fiscal year.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING AN ACTION
Work on the General Plan and on current and mid-range planning programs would slow down.
Current planning service levels would decrease.
Attachment: Council resolution authorizing CAO to sign contract. Standard contract
agreement shall be used.
