Authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to enter into agreements related to revenue
generation in an amount not to exceed $100,000, through December 31, 2018.
BACKGROUND
On February 5, 2018, at a Special Council Meeting, the City Manager and Executive Director of
Finance provided the Mayor and City Council with an update on CalPERS, a mid -year budget
update, a preliminary budget for FY 2018/19, and a revised Five -Year Forecast. During this
presentation, it was noted that the current Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget has a $9.3 million deficit,
with the next two fiscal years having a projected $16.9 million and $31.8 million, respectively.
Staff, in consultation with the Mayor and City Council, are working diligently to find ways to
address our budgetary challenges, while maintaining services to the community. This has
included looking at ways to provide services alternatively, reviewing purchasing practices, and
also looking at revenue generation.
In order to continue pursuing options for the City Council to consider, staff requires the
assistance of experts from a cross sections of industries. This expertise must be retained in order
to properly evaluate options. At this time staff has begun preliminary research to identify various
firms, however no decisions have been made. Because time is of the essence, staff is requesting
this authority. In order to properly track these costs, a project activity code will be created within
the City's accounting software and no expenditures will be made without the concurrence of both
the City Manager and City Attorney.

At this time, staff is requesting authority for up to $100,000. Although staff does not anticipate
needing the entire amount, this would prevent any delays that may place revenue options in
jeopardy.
