Recommendation(s):
1. Approve Professional Services Agreement with Harris & Associates for Assessment
District Administration and Support Services for an initial five-year term, with one optional
one-year extension, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the year. Annual compensation
for each subsequent year shall increase by no more than five percent (5%) based on the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), with an additional five percent (5%) contingency available
annually to accommodate potential increases in development activity and associated district
annexations.
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents.
On December 5, 2025, City conducted a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for a
qualified consultant with experience in assessment district administration to provide
consulting and support services. Two proposals were received with Harris & Associates being
selected to be awarded the contract based on the final scoring from a committee consisting of
staff from the Community Development and Finance Departments.
