If so, that higher percentage shall apply. In order to effectively administer the Community Workforce Agreement, the City will need to hire a Contracts Administrator. Staff has prepared a resolution (Exhibit 2) to amend the City's Basic Classification and Compensation Plan, to add the new position. Funding for Fiscal Year 2017/18 will include 8 months of salary and benefits in the amount of $89,231. Budgets in future years will reflect the full year cost of $133,847. The position will be funded 10% by the General Fund and 90% by the various grant and enterprise funds, which will increase the deficit in the budget. At this time, it is estimated that this Agreement will add an additional 10-20% for Public Work on the construction phase. The order of magnitude based on the prior two fiscal years is $2.7 million to $5.5 million, of which $270,000 to $540,000 is attributable to the General Fund, and the balance to grants and enterprise funds. This amount will vary from year to year based on the type and quantity of projects undertaken by the City Council.

Due to the citywide tracking system, it is difficult to estimate the projects between $100,000 and $250,000, however, staff estimates it to be minimal and within the range of estimation. Staff compiled a listing of Public Work related projects which totaled $250,000 or greater over the past two fiscal years: 55B-3
