SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO ECOSLO AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the use of $2,500 of Natural Resources Program operating budget funds for a contract
amendment with the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo County (ECOSLO) to support SLO
Stewards docent training opportunities with Cal Poly's Week of Welcome leaders.
DISCUSSION
The City of San Luis Obispo has had a mutually beneficial service agreement with ECOSLO for
many years. It has also been a long-standing facet of our agreement with ECOSLO that they publish
the SLO Stewards newsletter, coordinate docent -led hikes and stewardship events, and provide
support to other City programs including the greenbelt program.
Our current agreement for the 2015-17 period continues its focus on "Retainer services" including
the publication of three SLO Stewards newsletters, docent -led hikes and land stewardship events such
as native plantings, invasive plant control, watering, trail construction and maintenance, and other
environmental projects. Payment for these services is based on a quarterly lump -sum of $2,500 based
on demonstration of performance towards achieving the specified tasks, with quarterly billings and
semi-annual reports due to the Natural Resources Manager.
At this time, ECOSLO has come forward with an offer to provide additional assistance with training
of Cal Poly's Week of Welcome (WOW) leaders relative to proper open space trail etiquette and
compliance with City open space rules and regulations. This will include engagement for this fall's
WOW, as well as more in-depth training and orientation with lesser-known hikes starting this
November in advance of WOW 2017. Burdens on City Open Space and surrounding neighborhoods
have been problematic in the past due to noise, crowds, and parking impacts during WOW, followed
by ongoing issues thereafter such as after-hours "night hiking" use. The proposed outreach efforts
will be in coordination and complimentary to those of the Natural Resources Program and Ranger
Service.
