SUBJECT: Amendment to Extend Term of Professional Services Agreement
with ROMA Design Group
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize Mayor and City Clerk to execute amendment to agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with ROMA Design
Group to prepare performance criteria for residential development in the Airport Area on
April 26, 2005. The Agreement established a termination date of December 31, 2005.
ROMA has provided significant assistance to the City in developing policies regarding
residential development in the Airport Area in the Land Use Element drafted as part of
the General Plan update. Because of the length of the General Plan update process,
and the City's need to focus on and resolve General Plan policy issues before engaging
ROMA in discussions about specific performance criteria, it has not been possible to
complete the work on the originally intended schedule.
Staff and EIP Associates, our General Plan consultant, have found ROMA's input
extremely valuable in developing the draft Land Use Element, and believe it is important
for ROMA to complete their more detailed design and regulatory work. In the event that
this work cannot be completed until after voter approval of the General Plan update in
November, staff is recommending that the term of the agreement be extended to
February 28, 2007.
