Code enforcement activities are a crucial service to ensure not only public health and safety, but also to enhance
economic development throughout a community. Blighted
conditions such as graffiti on public and private properties, illegal dumping, vacant lots, overgrown vegetation,
deteriorated building exteriors, missing or broken windows and screens, foreclosures, illegal signs, and inoperable vehicles all contribute negatively to a community’s image and promote deterioration. Municipal Code standards that are enforced will ensure that properties remain attractive, inviting, and safe. Well-kept communities help to maintain or increase values, discourage crime, encourage quality development while preserving the overall quality of life in the community. Additionally, supportive education of community members plays an essential role in a jurisdiction’s ability to self-regulate and reduce program demand.
OUR SKILLS AND APPROACH TO WORK
CSG and its Code Enforcement Officers are driven to provide a high standard of performance and program delivery. In delivery of their services, CSG staff apply knowledge gained from extensive and varied experiences across multiple agencies, with cultural understanding and sensitivities, and technical proficiency gained from certifications including PC 832 (Arrest Search and Seizure), CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design), California Association of Code Enforcement Officers (CACEO), or equivalent. We also achieve efficiencies in service through maintaining computer literacy with software applications including Central Square (TrakIt), Accela, iWorQ, Tyler, Microsoft Office Suite, and other code enforcement databases and supportive platforms.

However, we request that the City consider the following proposed modifications:
3.2 Payment. Please add:
For any undisputed portion of the invoice that remains unpaid more than sixty (60) days after City's receipt of an invoice that complies with all requirements of this Agreement, City shall pay Consultant a late payment charge of one and six-tenths percent (1.6%) per month on the unpaid undisputed amount, calculated from the date such amount became past due until paid. No late payment charge shall accrue on any portion of an invoice that City disputes in good faith in writing, provided City gives Consultant written notice of the dispute (including reasonable detail regarding the basis for the dispute) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice; late payment charges on any disputed portion, if ultimately determined to be owed, shall begin to accrue thirty (30) days after the dispute is resolved and Consultant resubmits a corrected invoice or other documentation reasonably necessary to process payment.
4.3 (c): Given this is an as -needed services, there is no true “completion of service provided.” Recommend this change
Professional liability in an amount not less than $2,000,000. Insurance companies must be admitted and licensed In California and have a Best’s Guide Rating of A-Class VII or better, as approved by the City. If the policy is written on a “claims made” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect at all times during the term of the agreement, and for a period of three (3) years from the contract expiration date or service termination date.
20. California Law. Please add
Dispute Resolution. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement by non-binding mediation. Either party may provide written notice requesting mediation; mediation will begin within thirty (30) days after notice unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The parties will select a mediator; if they cannot agree within ten (10) days after notice, either party may request appointment by JAMS (or, if unavailable, the American Arbitration Association). Mediation will be held in Orange County, California, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after the mediation notice (or a longer period agreed in writing), it will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by this Agreement, before a single arbitrator in Orange County, California. The arbitrator may award any remedy available at law or in equity, but may not award punitive or exemplary damages unless authorized by applicable law and not waived by the parties.
Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will share mediator/arbitrator and administrative fees equally; each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless otherwise awarded under this Agreement. The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding to confirm, enforce, or vacate an award may recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. 5 SE C T IO N
