RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve an amendment to the existing professional services agreement with Willdan Engineering ("Willdan") for a contract Permit Technician in an additional amount not-to-exceed $86,500.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In August 2019, an agreement with Willdan in an amount not-to-exceed $50,000 was administratively approved for a contract permit technician in the Building Safety Division to help fill a partial vacancy created by a shared position between Building Safety and Community Risk Reduction in development services and to address current Division service levels.
While the City adapts to new methods to review and approve plans and process building permit applications remotely during the pandemic, it is necessary to maintain contract help until the end of the fiscal year.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is $86,500 available in the FY 2019/2020 Budget in the CDD Administration, Other Contractual Services Acct. No. 10150100.619800 to cover the cost of services until the contract ends this fiscal year.
