RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Ron Garrett to
provide citywide traffic signal system support services in an amount not
to exceed $70,200.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the Public Works Agency's Traffic Engineering section has
three vacancies. The latest vacancy occurred when the most experienced
traffic systems employee retired on July 30, 2004. This employee was
responsible of managing the citywide traffic signal system. Although the
recruitment for this position is underway, it will take approximately
four to five months to fill the position. Also, training for the new
hire may take up to six months before the citywide signal system can be
operated independently.
Under the circumstances, there is an urgent need in the interim for a
part-time contractor who can manage the citywide traffic signal system
properly. Ron Garrett is a retired employee from the City of Newport
Beach with twenty-two years experience in operating a signal system
similar to Santa Ana's. The contract employee will work up to thirty
hours a week at a competitive rate of $45 per hour. Staff is
recommending execution of an agreement with Ron Garrett as a part-time
contractor in an amount not to exceed $70,200.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
