City of Culver City, California City Council Agenda Item Report RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council approve a contract with EXTTI, Inc to provide professional employment law/investigative services related to confidential personnel matters. DISCUSSION EXTTI, Inc is comprised of experienced labor attorneys and provides professional services in the area of employment law including neutral workplace investigations, training and expert witness testimony. At the Federal, State, and Local levels, employment law often requires employers to conduct impartial investigations into various subjects. From time to time, the Personnel Department is in need of specialized investigative services to comply with the requirements of law. Staff believes that it is appropriate to outsource this function due to a variety of reasons, such as time efficiency, issue complexity, and the impartial nature of a third party. FISCAL ANALYSIS The total cost to utilize the professional services of EXTTI, Inc is an amount not to exceed $20,000. There are funds available in the Personnel Department budget line item 10122100.610300 – Personnel Services to cover this expenditure.
