BACKGROUND
City Council Policy 1.01, City Council Reorganization, Committees, and Appointments was adopted in August 1975 and last amended on July 13, 2022. The Policy establishes guidelines for City Council Committees which are formed to provide review and make recommendations to Council on matters of interest to the City (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION
An ad hoc committee is formed for a single project or purpose and upon completion of its objective, the ad hoc committee is dissolved. Pursuant to City Council Policy 1.01, the Mayor is authorized to appoint up to two members of the City Council to serve on an ad hoc committee with the concurrence of the City Council. The ad hoc committee’s jurisdiction will be limited to this subject matter.
During the FY 2024/25 Council Goals & Objectives session, the City Council approved a new objective to develop, implement, and update annually a City Infrastructure Strategic Financial Plan, aligned with the adopted Capital Improvement Program, for planning and financing City infrastructure needs for FY 2024/25 through FY 2028/29. Furthermore, the Council adopted an Action Strategy to retain a financial advisor, firm, or consultant to prepare the Strategic Plan.
On July 17, 2024, staff published a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking qualified firms to develop the Plan. In coordination with City staff, the selected firm will assist in the prioritization of projects and generate individualized strategies to finance the infrastructure cost. When the RFP closes on August 30, 2024 proposals will be reviewed for completion and a short list of proposers will be interviewed for further consideration.
