City Council

CC 8. Harris & Associates Professional Services Agreement - Amendment No. 2 Recommendation(s): 1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Harris & Associates for Special District Re-Engineering and Proposition 218 services in the amount of $42,000, increasing the total contract amount to $178,500. 2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to finalize and execute all documents related to the Agreement. In May 2025, the City entered into an agreement with Harris & Associates to provide special district re-engineering and Proposition 218 balloting services. In January 2026, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to expand the scope of work to include additional analysis associated with the Sewer Maintenance District methodology and parcel data. As the re-engineering and Proposition 218 process progressed, additional work became necessary beyond the originally authorized scope. Most significantly, the City requested that Harris complete a comprehensive Drainage District Parcel Audit, requiring detailed review and analysis of parcel information, coordination with City staff, and preparation of supporting documentation.
