Subject: Contracts for Professional Management, Facilitation and Technical Support of Growth Management Citizens Committee
District: All
Recommended Action
• Adopt a resolution to approve a professional services contract not to exceed $210,000 with Circlepoint Inc. to manage and facilitate a citizens committee charged with developing a new framework for managing growth in a way that preserves Carlsbad's excellent quality of life
• Adopt a resolution to approve a professional services contract not to exceed $140,000 with Moore lacofano Goltsman Inc. to provide technical support for the committee work.

Executive Summary
Carefully managing growth and development is critical to maintaining the City of Carlsbad's excellent quality of life. For more than 35 years, residential growth has been guided by the city's award-winning Growth Management Plan. But now the city is entering a time where different tools will be needed to effectively manage growth. The major planned residential developments in Carlsbad have mostly been built, and new state laws have changed how future housing will be approved.

In March 2021, the City Council directed staff to form a citizens committee to begin the process of developing this new approach to managing growth. This item is requesting City Council approval of two contracts with professional consultants to assist the city with the committee's work. One contract is with Circlepoint Inc., a professional facilitator with experience managing citizens committees for public agencies (Exhibit 1). The second contract is with Moore lacofano Goltsman Inc., or MIG, a consultant that will provide technical support to the committee (Exhibit 2).

March 8, 2022 Item #5 Page 1 of 36

Such professional services contracts that cost $100,000 or more require the approval of the City Council under Subsection (D)(5) of Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.060 - Procurement of professional services and service.

The consultants were selected through a competitive proposal process based on their expertise, budget and relevant experience.

Discussion
Overview
In 1986, in the midst of community concerns about the pace of residential growth, the Carlsbad City Council passed a growth management ordinance that put conditions on how growth could occur, including requiring developers to pay for the civic facilities that the residents of their projects will need. That November, Carlsbad voters passed Proposition E, which affirmed the principles of the Growth Management Program and established caps on the number of housing units that could be built in Carlsbad.

Now, 36 years later, the major new planned residential developments in Carlsbad are mostly built, and new state laws have changed how future housing will be approved. Residential growth caps, such as the ones approved by Carlsbad voters, are no longer allowed in California.

The citizens committee is the first step in a process to develop a new framework for how to manage growth in Carlsbad in a way that protects quality of life and the city's financial health.

The committee's composition is intentionally designed to bring together people with diverse perspectives and experiences to work through a complex and important topic.

A professional facilitator will support the committee in successfully completing its task. This includes working with the committee to determine a name for this effort that will communicate its mission and goals clearly to the public. The facilitator will also ensure all committee members have an equal chance to be heard and assist members with reaching consensus; provide administrative and management support to develop meeting agendas, summaries, presentations and other materials to support the committee; and prepare a final report to document the process and the committee's recommendation to the City Council.

The technical consultant will provide services on an as needed basis, including recommending best practices related to long range planning, municipal finance and quality of life measurements, providing advice related to relevant laws, preparing technical reports and gathering and analyzing data.

Fiscal Analysis
Adopted Resolution No. 2021-100 (Exhibit 3) directing staff to initiate the process to form a citizen's ad-hoc committee to identify the key elements of a new plan to manage growth and maintain excellent quality of life in Carlsbad. The resolution also directed staff to return to the City Council with a recommendation on the committee's formation process, potential representation, roles and responsibilities, mission statement and principles of participation, and authorized the use of $350,000 of the general fund balance for consultant costs associated with the committee.

Appropriated $350,000 in the fiscal year 2021-22 city budget to fund the formation, administration and management of the citizens committee.

Adopted Resolution No. 2021-223 (Exhibit 4) approving the committee charter, which identifies the committee's mission, principles of participation, representation, roles, meeting process and work product.

The fiscal year 2021-22 budget appropriated $350,000 to fund the formation, administration and management of the citizens committee. The combined total of the two consultant contracts does not exceed $350,000, with $210,000 for Circlepoint and $140,000 for MIG.

Next Steps
City staff will work with the consultants to begin the committee onboarding process and develop a committee schedule soon after the City Council appoints committee members on March 8, 2022. The citizens committee is scheduled to complete its work by the first quarter of 2023. The committee's recommendations will then be presented to the City Council, which will determine next steps.

Among other things, the Legislature, under Government Code Section 66300 (b)(1)(0), has suspended the ability of cities to establish or implement any provision thate g, Limits the number of land use approvals or permits necessary for the approval and construction of housing that will be issued or allocated within all or a portion of the city,
O Acts as a cap on the number of housing units that can be approved or constructed either annually or for some other time period, or

The Chair will ensure that committee meetings are conducted fairly and efficiently, that proper order and mutual respect among all participants is maintained, that there is full participation during meetings, that all relevant matters are discussed, that all committee members have an opportunity to participate in committee discussions, and that necessary decisions are made. To the extent reasonable, the Chair will seek consensus of the committee in decision-making.

However, the Chair will ensure that minority viewpoints are heard and documented.

The Chair may speak to members of the media on behalf of the committee, and represent the committee at public workshops, hearings and other public events as appropriate.

The role of the Vice-chair is to serve as the Chair in his or her absence.

vacancy, at their next scheduled meeting, the committee will consider whether to recommend that the Mayor and City Council fill the vacated position.

Meeting Quorum
For meeting purposes, a quorum of the committee is met with eight members in attendance.

Open Meeting Requirements
All committee meetings and committee members are subject to the open meeting requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act). The Brown Act imposes public notice and access requirements on committee meetings, and places certain limitations on when and how committee members may communicate with one another. New committee members will be given a briefing by the City Attorney's office about the basic requirements of the Brown Act.

Meeting Agendas
Meeting agendas will be prepared by city staff in consultation with the Chairperson or a majority of the committee, following the procedures of the Brown Act. At the conclusion of each meeting, the Chair and city staff will summarize the results and identify items that may need further research or be carried over to the next meeting, preview new business for the upcoming meeting, and invite committee members to suggest new items for future meetings. Agendas for future meetings will be established by consensus of the committee with concurrence of the Chair and city staff.

Members of the public have a right to attend committee meetings and will have an opportunity to address the committee on any issue under its purview. Agendas will include time for public comment.

External Communications
The overriding consideration in all communications is to honor and sustain the constructive, collaborative process of the committee. Committee members are encouraged to communicate with their constituencies in order to keep them informed of the committee's mission and meeting agendas, and to encourage direct participation. Should committee members speak to the media, members are encouraged to provide accurate, factual information, but are asked to refrain from engaging in speculation, advocating a position on a specific issue, speaking on behalf of the committee (except for the Chair or unless authorized by the committee to do so), or otherwise making public statements that would tend to hamper constructive committee discussions. Committee members are asked to notify city staff of any media contact related to the committee and its work. City staff will be available to assist in any communications to the media, if desired.

Information Sharing
In order to ensure all committee members have the same information available to them, all documents will be distributed through city staff. If a member has information he or she would like to share with other committee members, the information should be given to staff for distribution to the entire committee. Maintaining this flow of information will facilitate a respectful, collaborative process, and help avoid unintended violations of open meeting laws (e.g., serial meetings).

Work Products
The committee will be responsible for reviewing work product and providing feedback to staff and consultants. The committee is expected to focus on input, review, and "buy-in" to carry out the committee's mission, rather than deliberating on precise details. The committee's work will conclude with a committee-supported report recommending to the City Council what should be included (key elements) in a new plan to manage growth and achieve an excellent quality of life while ensuring compliance with state law. The City Council will consider the committee's recommendations and direct the next steps to create a new growth management plan.
