SUBJECT: Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement with Russ Branson Consulting

RECOMMENDATION:

A. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to Professional Services Agreement No. 2021-025 with Russ Branson Consulting fo r professional financial consulting services, increasing the contract authority by $34,290 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $74,290, with a term expiring June 30, 2023; and

B. Approve a budget appropriation of $34,290 from the General F und Unassigned Fund Balance to the City Manager Program Budget.

BACKGROUND:

On February 12, 2021, the City Manager authorized a professiona l services agreement with Russ Branson Consulting (RBC) for financial consulting services to assist the City with analyzing various complex financial related issues such as conducting an independent analysis of the City of Goleta’s tax sharing agreem ent with Santa Barbara County for an amount not to exceed $20,000 and a term ending June 30, 2021.

On April 26, 2021, the City Manager executed Amendment No. 1 fo r additional compensation of $12,000 for a new total amount not to exceed $32,000 and additional tasks to include an independent analysis of the Santa Ba rbara Sheriff’s contract and creation of a cost model in cooperation with the cities of Gole ta, Buellton, Solvang and Carpinteria. In addition, the cities of Goleta, Buellton, Solvang and Carpinteria executed Agreement No. 2021-016, a Memorandum of Understanding for admin istration and cost sharing for an independent consultant review and analysis of the Sheriff contract costs, with Goleta being the lead in administering the contract with R BC and a cost share between the cities, with Goleta responsible for 40%, Carpinteria at 25%, and Buellton and Solvang each at 17.5%.

On November 10, 2021, the City Manager executed Amendment No. 2 for additional compensation of $8,000 for a new total amount not to exceed $40 ,000 and additional 1 Meeting Date: April 5, 2022

tasks to include independent analysis pertaining to the FY 22/2 3 law enforcement services costs and a new law enforcement services agreement commencing FY 23/24.

DISCUSSION:

City staff relies on the specialized expertise and resources of financial consultants and advisors to provide creativity, expert knowledge, increased efficiency and cost savings for various financial and operation projects. Over the twelve m onths, RBC has provided financial consulting services on two major projects, the tax sh aring agreement with the County of Santa Barbara and the law enforcement services agreem ent with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office . These financial consulting services have included research, technical analysis, independent financial analysis, p reparation of reports, memos, presentations and meetings with staff, City Council and the other contract cities (Solvang, Buellton and Carpinteria).

The four Santa Barbara area cities that contract for police service with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff desire to propose a new contract model for FY 23 /24, and beyond. This contract amendment extends the work RBC has already done on the Sheriff’s contract to include an evaluation of Santa Barbara County Sheriff contract options for after the FY22/23 contract year. The continued work and project extensi on will allow RBC to conduct further review of other city-county contract models, propose sheriff’s contract cost model options, calculate model outcomes based on historical county data, assist in model structure negotiations and prepare technical memos on behalf of the cities.

In addition, staff recommends that RBC also provide an analysis and review of the recent Animal Control Services cost study conducted for Santa Barbara County. This review is recommended to be conducted in two phases. Phase 1 includes reviewing the study and developing preliminary findings on the study’s cost assumptions and the methodology used to allocate costs to different cities. Depending on the outcome of Phase 1, Phase 2 includes a follow-up phase that will flesh out any identified i ssues and recommend alternative costing or cost allocation, as appropriate for the services provided.

Staff is seeking City Council authorization to amend the agreement and increase contract authority by $34,290 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $74,290. Amendment No. 3 with the updated scope of work is provided in Attachment 1.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The proposed contract amendment is for an increased amount of $ 34,290 for a total not to exceed contract amount of $74,290 with a termination date of June 30, 2023. Funding for the scope of work will be shared with the contract cities and Goleta will be responsible for 40% of actual costs or approximately $13,716 related to the contract amendment.

The services will be supported from the City Manager’s budget under Professional Services account 101-10-1200-51200. Staff is recommending a budget appropriation of $34,290 from the General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance to suppor t the contract 2 Meeting Date: April 5, 2022

amendment. There is approximately $11 million available in the Unassigned Fund Balance.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may elect not to authorize this contract amend ment as presented and provide staff an alternate direction. Doing so would delay in p roceeding with negotiating the Sheriffs Contract Cost

EXHIBIT A-3

SCOPE OF WORK

PROJECT NAME: Sheriff Contract
Task 1: Review Other Cit y-County Contract Models. RBC will work to identify and review other costing models used in contracts for policing services in other cities (either between a city and county or two cities). The goal of this revi ew will be to identify potential models that work well for other jurisdictions and cou ld be used or modified to be workable in Santa Barbara County.

Task 2: Propose Sheriff’s Contract Cost Model Options. Based on the work done to date on the current cost model used by the County and other mod els used throughout the State for police contract costing, RBC will propose cost-mo del options to be considered by the cities and proposed to the County. The goals of any costing model should include: fair in setting costs based on services received or used, predictable from year-to-year, auditable to provide confidence in costing, and transparent in what data is used and how that data is collected. Model cost increases shoul d also be consistent with the increases in the total cost of patrol and not unduly b urden the cities or the County.

Task 3: Calculate Model Outcomes Based on Historical County Dat a. After discussion on each model option with the cities, RBC will calculate expected costs to the cities and the County under each model deemed reasonable. RBC will use a combination of the detailed FY21 actual costs and/or the current Sheriff bu dget to estimate costs under each model. RBC will also consider negotiated increases i n labor costs for both sworn and non-sworn personnel and trends in pension costing whe n constructing the cost models.

The model costing will be used to identify factors that may push a costing model to be unreliable or difficult to calculate or audit.

Task 4: Assist in Model Structure Negotiations. After development of potential contract-model alternatives, RBC will assist the cities in nego tiating a new contract model with the County and their consultant. The RBC work will f ocus on costing various model options proposed by the County and assisting in l eading the negotiations to a fair, transparent and affordable conclusion for the cities.

Task 5: Prepare Technical Memo. RBC will prepare a technical memorandum outlining the cost models from both the City and County perspective and how the models meet the transparent, predictable, auditable, and fair criteria set out above. The memo will detail the reasoning behind each model and will propose one or more model options to negotiate with the County.

PROJECT BUDGET
The current budget for this project is $20,000. RBC is proposin g to perform the extension of this study for an additional not-to-exceed budget of $15,000. The model review and analysis under the first amendment to this contract has exceeded the original $10,250 additional budget by $1,750. It is requested that the total budget be expanded to include this cost increase. It is hoped that this a dditional budget will be sufficient to get the cities to a new contract model with the County.

A summary of the proposed budget is as follows:
x Current Budget (with first amendment) $20,000
x Additional Budget Request
o Cost Overrun on First Amendment $1,750
o Second Amendment Cost $15,000
Total Budget After Amendment $37,500
RBC bills on a per hour, not-to-exceed basis. The billing rates for Russ Branson remains $200/hour. The table below shows a breakdown of expected costs by task.

Total Cost 75 $15,000

Due to the current pandemic, all work will be conducted remotely; therefore, there will not be travel cost associated with this work.

PROJECT TIMELINE
RBC is available to begin work on this project immediately on t his challenging assignment. The project data is needed to engage the County in discussions of a new model prior to the County spending too much time in their own model development. To that end, RBC will target the end of March to develop and cost several model options in Tasks 1-3. Tasks 4 & 5 will follow this analysis.

PROJECT NAME: Animal Control Cost Review

Phase I
Phase I will provide an initial analysi s and finding of the MGT study a nd will provide a decision point for the cities to authorize continued study evaluation or to accept the study results.

Task 1: Review MGT Animal Control Study. The County of Santa Barbara hired MGT to conduct a study that allocates Animal Control costs to contr acting cities and the unincorporated areas of the County. The result of this study i s a significant increase in contract costs for each of the cities. In this task, RBC will r e v i e w t h e M G T s t u d y assumptions, cost data, allocations of overhead, and other cost -allocation assumptions to determine if the analysis appears to be fair to all agencies and within the bounds of the cost of animal control services being provided. This review wi ll first seek to understand the study assumptions and methodology and then to identify any issues or concerns with the methodology that could lead to errant cost allocations.

Task 2: Present Phase I Findings. Based on the findings from Task 1, RBC will prepare a PowerPoint presentation outlining the MGT study methodology and RBC findings. The purpose of this presentation is to concisely demonstrate the MGT Animal Control costing analysis and to present all issues identified with this methodology. Phase I provides cities an opportunity to accept the MGT cost allocation study as is or to continue with a more in-depth review of the findings to directly challenge key aspects of the MGT study. This will also provide an opportunity to develop a joint path in pursuing in-depth analysis based on the initial review findings. At the end of Phase I, cities will be asked to authorize a transition to Phase II if appropriate.

Phase I Budget. The cost to complete Phase I is estimated to be $5,040. This includes 16 hours for Task 1 and 8 hours for Task 2. RBC bills at a rate of $210 per hour.

Phase II
Phase II will provide an in-depth analysis of any issues identified during Phase I and will result in specific recommendations for challenge of study findings and alternative costing of Animal Control services if sufficient data is available to do so.

Task 3: In-Depth Analysis of Phase I Findings. Based on the Phase I findings, RBC will provide an in-depth analysis of the MGT study results to identify where the proposed costing does not demonstrate a fair allocation of costs based on the services provided to each city. This analysis will review the underlying cost assum ptions, allocation of costs from the Health Department and the County’s administrative services, levels of service provided, historical use of the Animal Control services, and ot her data used by MGT in the development of their study results. In this task, RBC will approach the MGT analysis

10 City of Goleta
Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 2021-015

Page 7 of 8 ends

with a critical, but fair, eye toward determining the proper al location of costs. This will include discussions with each city on its experience with Animal Control services,-review of current and previous Animal Control budgets, and a determination if services are being expanded, revised, or otherwise changed in a way that can accou nt for the increased costs.

Additionally, RBC will do an narro w review of similar County’s Animal Control costs and city contracts. Service comparison work can be time-consuming and difficult to find apples-to-apples comparisons. The comparison work will be done on a cursory level to primarily determine how in line the County’s costs are with other counties.

Task 4: Develop Recommendations. Based on the analysis is Task 3, RBC will develop a set of recommendations to review with MGT and County to revise the proposed Animal Control costs as appropria te. Each recommendation will be fact-based and will attempt to be laid out in a persuasive manner. Municipal agenc ies continue to face increasing cost pressures, and the County is attempting to ensure that it is not subsidizing the cities with their Animal Control contracts. To be effective, recommendations will need to focus on a clear set of issues and concerns that avoids an i nappropriate shift of costs from the County to the contracting cities. The recommendations will focus primarily on this goal.

Task 5: Prepare Technical Memo. RBC will prepare a technical memorandum outlining the analysis performed, specific findings of the MGT study meth odology, and recommendations to revise the Animal Control costing. The purpose of the memo will be to provide a detailed record of the reasoning behind any city r equest to change the cost allocation methodology. The technical memo will be paired with a summary PowerPoint presentation that can be used to communicate findings to the Co unty and City Councils, as desired.

Phase II Budget. The cost to complete Phase II is estimated to be $10,500. This includes 32 hours for Task 3, 10 hours for Task 4, and 8 hours for Task 5. RBC bills at a rate of $210 per hour.

Task 6: Present Study to Each City. Depending on the overall outcome of the analysis, cities may desire separate presentations to City Councils outlining the analysis and recommendations for changes to the Animal Control proposed cont ract costs. This proposal assumes the presentation of results to the cities contracting for RBC services, the County Health Department, and MGT. If separate City Counci l presentations are requested, they will be billed at a flat fee of $500 each.

PROJECT BUDGET
The budget for Phase I and Phase II is $15,540. An additional flat fee of $500 per city will be charged for separate City County presentations. RBC bi lls on an hourly, not-to-

11 City of Goleta
Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 2021-015

exceed basis; therefore, cities will not be billed for work beyond the authorized maximum budget without prior written approval.

A summary of the proposed budget is as follows:
x Phase I $5,040
x Phase II $10,500
x Council Presentations $500 each (flat fee)

The billing rates for Russ Branson is $210/hour.

Due to the current pandemic, all work will be conducted remotely; therefore, there will be no travel cost associated with this work.

PROJECT TIMELINE
RBC is available to begin work on this project once the Animal Control study is made available to the cities. Because the County and cities are in the process of setting their budget for the coming fiscal year, time is of the essence. To that end, RBC will target two weeks to complete the Phase I analysis and four to six weeks to complete the entire study, if authorized. Meetings will be held throughout this ti meframe to keep the cities informed of study progress and to strategize of study findings.

EXHIBIT A-2

SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Project Kick-Off. RBC will work with Natelson Dale to define the data and analysis needs to construct an updated cost model for the Sheriff’s services c ontract. After an initial call with Natelson Dale, a data request will be developed for the County (and cities, if needed) to begin model construction. The initial kick-off will define the goals, expected outcomes, and principles of the analysis to be conducted.

Task 2: Sheriff’s Contract Cost Model Options. RBC will work with Natelson Dale to develop one or more cost structures for the County-to provide police services to the cities. These models must be: transparent, predictable, auditable, and fair to all p arties. As model options are developed, RBC will be in communication with the cities to ensu re that the data used—and expected contract outcomes—meet the needs of each City and the County.

Task 3: Review Natelson Dale Model. The Sheriff has contracted with Natelson Dale to construct and maintain the contract cost model. RBC will review the model development process to ensure that the final model meets the needs of each City. Additionally, any model needs to be able to provide regular reports that provide meaningful and regular reporting on services provided.

Any cost-change to provided services must be identified early a nd clearly backed up with transparent data.

Task 4: Prepare Technical Memo. RBC will prepare a technical memorandum analyzing the cost model from each City’s perspective and how the model meets or does not meet the transparent, predictable, auditable, and fair criteria set out above. If the model does not meet said criteria, RBC will provide recommendations for the individ ual Cities to assist them in their negotiations with the Sheriff. The memo will also address repor ting requirements by both the Cities and the Sheriff, how each City can track the service pro vided and cost of service through County reporting, and any other matter that the Cities would like addressed.

PROJECT BUDGET
RBC is proposing to perform this study for a not-to-exceed budg et of $10,250. This will be an increase to the current project budget, and increase the total not-to-exceed budget to $20,000, including already billed amounts. RBC bills monthly based on worked completed. The billing rate for Russ Branson is $200/hour.

Due to the current pandemic, all work will be conducted remotely; therefore, there will not be travel cost associated with this work.

PROJECT TIMELINE
RBC is available to begin work on this project immediately on t his challenging assignment. The project completion will be dependent on Natelson Dale’s work progress, but shall be delivered to the Cities no later than [two months prior to when Sheriff’s negotiations must conclude]. RBC will work diligently with Natelson Dale through development of the new contract cost model.
