City of Culver City, California Redevelopment Agency Agenda Item Report RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council and the Culver City Redevelopment Agency approve a Tri_Party Professional Services Agreement with Ms. Kristi Callan for minute transcription services. DISCUSSION: In September, 2004 a contract was entered into with Ms. Callan for minute transcription services for the Redevelopment Agency. The contract was in the amount of $10,000 and was approved administratively. The contract funds have now been expended. It is noted for the Agency’s information that Ms. Callan is currently contracted to provide transcription services for meetings of the City Council and the Cultural Affairs Commission. Because of both Ms. Callan’s professional product and the desire to provide a consistent minute format amongst the City Council, Redevelopment Agency, and the City’s four Commissions, staff is recommending approval of a Revised Agreement that will encompass this expanded scope of work. For these reasons, staff believes that Ms. Callan is best prepared to continue to provide this service. The services are proposed to be provided at the existing hourly rate of $28. Funding for this Tri Party Agreement are proposed as follows: Meeting Date: 8/18/08 Item Number: JC-2 AGENDA ITEM: JOINT CONSENT ITEM - Approval of a Tri_Party Professional Services Agreement with Kristi Callan for Minute Transcription Services for Meetings of the City Council, the Redevelopment Agency, the Cultural Affairs Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Planning Commission, and the Civil Service Commission .
