Task 7.1 Preliminary Title Reports
We will assist the project team with determining potential locations where permanent easements, temporary construction easements, and rights of entry will be required for construction and operation of the project. Preliminary Title Reports (PTR) will be obtained to identify existing easements, leases, and other encumbrances that may affect the alignment of the pipelines. We acquire PTRs that will cover affected parcels. PTRs will be reviewed to confirm ownership information and plot exception items to evaluate possible impact on design and ROW acquisition. The intent of this work is to identify potential, significant delays related to easement procurement. PTR fees will be paid by the consultant and reimbursed by the City.
Task 7.2 Plat and Legal Document(s)
We will assist the project team with calculating permanent and temporary easements and prepare proposed ROW and appraisal maps. We will prepare legal descriptions and plats for each negotiated permanent and temporary easement or acquisition. We will assist in negotiations with property owners to secure easements and rights of entry, as necessary.
TASK 8 PERMITTING SUPPORT
Permitting support will include working with the project team to provide coastal development, regulatory agency, environmental, funding/financing agency, and construction permitting support.
Task 8.1 General Permitting Support
We will assist the project team by providing permitting support services for the WRF coastal development, regulatory agency, environmental, and funding agency permitting as well as approval requirements for the construction and operation of the project. Permitting support may include preparation of permit application materials, providing technical project details, participation in meetings, preparation of technical information and exhibits, and responding to requests for information from regulatory agency staff. Permit execution will be the responsibility of the project team. Given the difficulty of estimating scope and fee for this task, we have included a time and materials budget of approximately $23,600. Should the effort exceed this estimate, we will work with the City on an appropriate adjustment to the scope and fee to accommodate the actual work.
Task 8.2 Construction Permitting Support
We will assist the project team in obtaining the construction permits and approvals necessary for the construction and operation of the project. This includes coordination with various agencies, including the State Water Resources

Task 9.7 Record Drawings
We will prepare record drawings following construction from mark ups by the contractor and construction manager. We will prepare record drawings in pdf and .dwg formats (80 sheets anticipated).
TASK 10 PROJECT STARTUP AND CLOSEOUT
Task 10.1 Startup and Closeout
We will provide support services for the startup and closeout of the project as requested. We anticipate three start up sessions—one four hour session for each of the three injection wells.
OPTIONAL TASKS
Optional Task 1 Embarcadero Pipeline/Morro Creek Crossing Design If the abandoned seawater desalination intake pipeline is determined to be unusable for recycled water conveyance, we will prepare a detailed design and provide engineering services during construction for the recycled water pipeline along Embarcadero Road and crossing Morro Creek.
Optional Task 2 FEMA Flood Mapping
A portion of the project scope of work falls within the FEMA 100 and/or 500-year floodplain. We will include a subconsultant (such as Waterways Consulting, Inc.) and staff to provide floodplain inundation modeling and permitting support to construct infrastructure within the Morro Creek floodplain to maintain compliance with the State and Federal funding sources for the project.
Our initial approach will be to evaluate the site with respect to the baseline flood elevations (BFE) shown on the FEMA FIRM map and design finished floor elevations and equipment susceptible to flood damage at least 1-ft above the BFE. Given that the well sites have yet to be determined, we have included a time and materials budget of approximately $40,000 ($10,000 for each well site).
Should the effort exceed this estimate, we will work with the City on an appropriate adjustment to the scope and fee to accommodate the actual work.
Optional Task 3 Outreach Plus Approach
We have estimated the outreach plus approach to be $5,000 per month (based on what we know about the City’s outreach expectations), and we have budgeted for three months. Subtasks may include the following:
• Potable Reuse Strategic Communication: This may include the development of a communications plan, messaging, and materials development that focus specifically on challenges and nuances of potable reuse.

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 6, 2024 FROM: Amy Watkins, Police Chief
SUBJECT: San Luis Obispo County Regional Special Weapons and Tactics Team Memorandum of Understanding
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 33-24 Authorizing the Chief of Police to sign an updated Memorandum of Understanding for the city’s participation in the San Luis Obispo County Regional Special Weapons and Tactics Team (Regional SWAT Team).
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may choose not to adopt Resolution No. 33-24 and provide direction as deemed appropriate by a majority of the Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Expenses to support the Police Department SWAT Team members and equipment are included in the annual Police Department budget. The Morro Bay Pollice Department annual regional SWAT team contribution is $7,000.
There are no additional fiscal impacts associated with the signing of the updated agreement.
DISCUSSION
Since 2008, the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo along with California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo and California State Parks have operated a Regional SWAT Team under a previously signed agreement. The SWAT Team utilizes special tactics and equipment to manage and resolve critical incidents involving armed or barricaded suspects, hostages, and high-risk warrant services or incidents that are high risk and so hazardous, complex, or unusual they may exceed the capabilities of first responders or investigative units in their respective jurisdictions.
In January 2024, the Regional SWAT Team Governing Board, which is made up of the head law enforcement officer of the respective participating agencies reviewed the previous agreement and prepared a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with updated information. The MOU updates included additional language in the categories under Purpose, Term, Agency Responsibilities, AGENDA NO: 7.d
MEETING DATE: June 11, 2024
Agency Budgeting, and Indemnification. The MOU has been reviewed by each agency’s legal counsel as to form. The term of the MOU will be until June 30, 2029; however, the MOU allows the participating agencies to automatically renew the MOU for three successive five-year increments as long as there are no substantive changes needed.

This MOU shall allow for the combination of personnel onto the Regional SWAT Team to ensure delivery of these key services at the highest level possible for the Participating Agencies.
The Participating Agencies recognize that response to critical incidents can be enhanced and efficiency increased by combining police personnel with such specialized training and expertise into a Regional SWAT Team that is available for response to any of the Participating Agencies and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
V. TERM, RENEWAL, AND TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT
a. The term of the MOU will be from ___ June, 2024 to June 30, 2029. b.

e. If the Governing Board determines that a Participating Agency is not in compliance with this MOU or the policies and procedures established for the Regional SWAT Team, the Governing Board, by majority vote of all Participating Agency Police Chiefs, may remove the Participating Agency from the Regional SWAT Team and from the obligation of this MOU. A designee vote, or proxy vote, is not valid for this action. As used herein, the term “Police Chiefs or Chiefs” shall also be deemed to mean a Superintendent of State Parks. f. The Regional SWAT Team may be disbanded by a majority vote of the Governing Board. Any vote for termination shall only occur when the Police Chief of each Participating Agency is present at the meeting in which such a vote is taken. g. Upon termination of this MOU, or the removal of a Participating Agency from this MOU, each Participating Agency shall retain sole ownership of the equipment purchased and provided to its participating SWAT team members.
h. Upon disbanding of the Regional SWAT Team, any assets acquired with grant funds from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shall be turned over to the San Luis Obispo County Office of Emergency Services, the grant administrator for San Luis Obispo County.
i. Upon disbanding of the Regional SWAT Team, any assets acquired with joint funds of the SWAT team’s Participating Agencies still operating at the time of the disbanding, shall be equally divided among the Participating Agencies at the asset’s fair market value upon termination.
j. If two or more Participating Agencies desire an asset, the final decision shall be made by arbitration as follows:
i. The Participating Agencies interested in the asset shall select one (1) person (Arbitrator) to determine which agency will receive the asset. If the Participating Agencies cannot agree to an Arbitrator, the Chiefs of the Participating Agencies participating in the Regional SWAT Team at the time of disbandment shall meet to determine who the Arbitrator will be.

During a meeting with the Arbitrator, each Participating Agency interested in the asset shall be permitted to make an oral or written presentation to the Arbitrator in such support of its position.
iii. At the conclusion of the presentation, the Arbitrator shall determine which Participating Agency is to receive the asset. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and shall not be subject to appeal or review.
VI. GOVERNANCE
A Regional SWAT Team Governing Board comprised of the Chiefs of the Participating Agencies, shall provide oversight of the Regional SWAT Team, including but not limited to, adoption and modification of policies and operating procedures, selection of command staff, compliance with this MOU and fiscal management. The Governing Board will meet monthly or as needed. The presence of five (5) Governing Board members, or their designee, constitutes a quorum.
A presiding officer, known as the Chair, shall, at all times, be a Police Chief from a Municipal agency within San Luis Obispo County. The Chair shall have at least one year of experience as a Police Chief in San Luis Obispo County and must have previously served as a Vice Chair prior to ascending to the Chair position.
The subsequent presiding officer, known as the Vice Chair, shall take office in January of each year. The Vice Chair will act as the Chair in the absence of the Chair for any meetings. The Vice Chair shall be appointed to their role based on a geographical accession plan beginning with the South County agencies and ascending to the North
County agencies. The Vice Chair will ascend to the Chair position after the term of the presiding officer has concluded, or in the instance of the presiding officer vacating the Chair. The Vice Chair will complete the term of the vacating Chair and then start their annual term the following January.
Each member of the Governing Board shall have an equal vote and voice on all Board decisions. All Governing Board decisions shall be made by a majority vote of the Governing Board members, or their designees, appearing at the meeting in which the decision is made. A majority of Governing Board members, or their designees, must be present at each meeting for any actions taken to be valid.
VII. NOTICES
Notices and communications between the Participating Agencies shall be sufficiently given if sent by first-class mail, e-mail, personal delivery, or facsimile transmission, to the Chief of Police of the Participating Agencies. The Chair shall provide no less than fortyeight (48) hours’ notice of all meetings to all members of the Governing Board; provided, however, that in emergency situations, the Chair may conduct a telephonic meeting or a poll of individual Governing Board members to resolve any issues related to such emergency.
VIII. SWAT TEAM COMMAND STRUCTURE
a. Personnel and Selection. The Regional SWAT Team shall consist of employees from the Participating Agencies assigned as tactical officers, tactical supervisors and commanders, crisis negotiators, and support personnel. The Regional SWAT Team configuration may be comprised of as many sub-teams or reserve teams as needed for a particular incident. The appointment of the Regional SWAT Commander and Tactical Commander(s) will be made by the Governing Board.
b. Incident Commander. The Participating Agency where an incident occurs shall be in overall command and control of the incident and shall designate an Incident Commander from their command level.
c. SWAT Commander. The Regional SWAT Commander will serve as part of the Incident Command staff in all jurisdictions and will directly oversee the Regional SWAT Team tactical command and the operational control of the Regional SWAT Team. The Regional SWAT Commander and the Tactical Commander are responsible for the actual deployment of the SWAT Team, tactical decision making and tactical resolution of the incident, with approval of the Incident Commander.
d. Command and Control of Staff. While engaging in any Regional SWAT Team activity, it is understood that the collaborative effort of the Regional SWAT Team entails respect for the established chain of command within the team. However, it is imperative to maintain the integrity of personnel within the respective city jurisdiction where the SWAT activity is happening. Therefore, jurisdictional control over personnel, outside of the
Regional SWAT Team, including peace officers, civilian employees, community service officers, or volunteers, shall remain under the authority of the City Incident Commander or their designated representative and in Unified Command with the Regional SWAT Team. This ensures seamless coordination between the SWAT team and the Incident Commander, facilitating efficient operations.
IX. REQUESTS FOR SWAT TEAM ACTIVATION
To request Regional SWAT Team activation, the Participating Agency command staff shall contact the San Luis Obispo Police Department Dispatch Center and request to speak to the Regional SWAT Team Commander. Should the SWAT Team Commander be unavailable, the request will then be made to the Tactical Commander, or if unavailable, finally to the Assistant Tactical Commander(s). When it is agreed that activation will occur, the San Luis Obispo Police Department Dispatch Center will begin the call-out procedures starting with the Regional SWAT Team leadership. If contact cannot be made with the Regional SWAT Team Commander, Tactical Commander, or Assistant Tactical Commander(s) then there will be no call-out of the Regional SWAT Team.
X. PARTICIPATING AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES
a. Participating Agency Staffing. The Participating Agencies will assign and maintain personnel for the Regional SWAT Team sufficient to provide appropriate joint coverage for critical incidents in any of the Participating Agencies’ jurisdictions, but no fewer than one sworn peace officer, assigned and trained as a SWAT Team Operator. Each Participating Agency will respond to requests for Regional SWAT Team services in all participating jurisdictions as promptly and fully as practical, based on established response criteria and so long as the Participating Agency is in good standing. Good standing means the Participating Agency has met their financial and personnel obligations to the Regional SWAT Team and that participating team members have attended mandatory training and are properly equipped. Participating Agencies not in good standing may petition the Governing Board for a majority vote for consideration of a temporary financial offset to maintain SWAT services in the amount of $12,000 annually or $1000 monthly (prorated) until the Participating Agency is able to meet the minimum personnel contribution. The Chiefs of each Participating Agency may accept or decline the services of the Regional SWAT Team or may withdraw their employees from any Regional SWAT Team response for any legitimate reason. i. Public Information and Media Requests. Any release of public information in response to a public information request will be made in compliance with the California Public Records Act (CPRA). Each agency will be responsible for responding or coordinating a response to CPRA requests they receive. Information in possession of one agency may not necessarily be in the possession of the other agency, making it necessary for each to be responsible for requests received by said agency. The law
enforcement agency having primary jurisdiction over the location to which the Regional SWAT Team responds during any specific critical incident or other event will be responsible for overall media relations for the duration of that event, including providing a Public Information Officer / Spokesperson at the scene of the incident if necessary; although that agency may request assistance of personnel from another Participating Agency for the purpose of media relations if needed.
ii. Detective and Investigative Support. The agency of primary jurisdiction in which the SWAT incident is occurring, will provide at least one (1) sworn peace officer assigned to Criminal Investigations or comparable position with like responsibilities to serve as an investigative resource in procuring search and/or arrest warrants, evaluating criminal charges, and when necessary, liaising with command and/or and the District Attorney’s Office on criminal charges.
iii. Personnel Qualifications. The Governing Board shall establish uniform minimum qualifications and appropriate selection processes for Regional SWAT Team members, including the SWAT Commander and Tactical Commander positions. Each Participating Agency may establish additional minimum qualifications for their personnel to be considered for the Regional SWAT Team.
b. Policies, Procedures, Guidelines and Regulations. The Participating Agencies agree that their employees will adhere to the policies, procedures, guidelines, and regulations of the Regional SWAT Team. Personnel assigned to the Regional SWAT Team shall be deemed to be continuing under the employment of their respective agency and shall have the same powers, duties, privileges, responsibilities, and immunities as are conferred upon them as Peace Officers and Support Staff employees in their own jurisdiction. Actions taken by individual personnel from the Participating Agencies shall be subject to the policies and procedures of their respective agency, to include the appropriate Use of Force policies. In the event any personnel from a Participating Agency should be ordered by the agency of jurisdiction's incident commander or SWAT command personnel to engage in an action, or refrain from engaging in an action, that the Participating Agency's personnel believes would result in violation of their agency's policies and procedures, this fact shall immediately be brought to the attention of the incident commander or the SWAT command personnel unless such notification risks immediate loss of life or damage to property. Should the incident commander or the SWAT command personnel order the Participating Agency personnel to engage in such action, or to refrain from engaging in an action, notwithstanding such notification, the agency of jurisdiction shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Participating Agency and its officials, employees and agents against any and all claims arising out of such action or failure to act.
c. AB 481 Reporting. In compliance with AB 481, codified in Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, all Participating Agencies shall list the Regional SWAT Team’s
potential use of “military equipment” in their jurisdiction during their annual reporting to their respective governing body. Each Participating Agency should also report the use and replacement of the military equipment used by their respective members. d. Administrative Investigations. Any administrative investigation of a Regional SWAT Team member shall be conducted by the Participating Agency employing the Regional SWAT Team member. Any administrative action resulting from such an investigation shall be at the discretion of the Regional SWAT Team member’s employing agency.
Investigatory findings which may impact the fitness for duty of a Regional SWAT Team member will be promptly reported to the Governing Board consistent with the Peace Officer’s Procedural Bill of Rights and Penal Code 832.7. The Participating Agency shall always retain the discretion to remove the member from the Regional SWAT Team.
XI. BUDGET, EQUIPMENT, AND TRAINING
a. Participating Agency Budget. Each Participating Agency shall financially contribute annually for consumable Regional SWAT Team supplies, training and equipment used during a Regional SWAT Team training or deployments.
i. The Governing Board may appoint the finance department of a municipal Participating Agency (City) to manage the finances of the Regional SWAT Team. Before appointing the finance department of a particular City, the Governing Board shall consult with the finance department and obtain its approval. The duty of managing the finances for the Regional SWAT Team may be rotated to other municipal Participating Agencies at the discretion of the Governing Board. A budget report should be made available at the request of the Governing Board for annual review. It is recommended that each Participating Agency maintain an independent budget tracking system to track funds expended by its participating Regional SWAT Team members.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 5, 2024 FROM: Janeen Burlingame, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Report on Delinquent Solid Waste Collection Accounts and Adopt Resolution No. 34-24 Authorizing San Luis Obispo County Assessor to Assess Amounts Due on Delinquent Solid Waste Collection Accounts as Tax Liens Against the Properties
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a public hearing to receive the report on delinquent solid waste collection fees, hear any objections or protests to the report, authorize the addition of the City’s 2% administration fee to the delinquent fees, and adopt Resolution No. 34-24 authorizing the San Luis Obispo County Tax Assessor to assess amounts due on delinquent solid waste collection accounts as tax liens against the properties. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 5473, this Resolution should be adopted by a two-thirds vote of the members of the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive the 10% franchise fee per the Garbage, Recycling, & Green Waste Agreement on all liens paid in addition to a 2% administrative fee for costs associated with the processing of the liens with the San Luis Obispo County Assessor. Revenue to be received by the City (just for the collection of delinquent accounts, administrative fee thereon, and attendant franchise fee revenue remittable from the hauler on such delinquencies) will be $201.37.
BACKGROUND
Per the Garbage, Recycling, & Green Waste Agreement, between the City and Waste Connections (operating as Morro Bay Garbage Service), the City Council establishes solid waste collection fees and Morro Bay Garbage Service (MBGS) bills for and collects these fees from residential and commercial customers.
Morro Bay Municipal Code (MBMC) Sections 8.16.170 and 8.16.375 establish all places and premises in the City in or on which solid waste is created, accumulated, or produced must use the solid waste collection and disposal service provided by the City's franchisee, MBGS.
MBMC Section 8.16.170 also states, for the purposes of establishing responsibility for the payment of fees and charges, the person who has applied for water service within the City is responsible for paying for the solid waste service. In addition, the owner of the property that is furnished solid waste service, if different from that water customer, is jointly responsible for the payment of all solid waste rates, charges, and fees, including penalties. Any unpaid obligations shall run with the land and lead to delinquency for the property involved.
MBMC Section 8.16.385 addresses delinquent solid waste accounts held by the City’s franchisee, AGENDA NO: 8.a
MEETING DATE: June 11, 2024
2 and defines the methodology related to collecting those debts including the preparation of a list of property owners whose accounts are more than 120 days past due, sending a certified letter to the property owner requesting payment within 45 calendar days, and presenting to the City a list of property owners that have failed to make the requested payment by the due date.
Government Code §38790.1 states any city collecting garbage fees or charges may collect delinquent fees or charges in the manner provided in Government Code §25831. Additionally, Health and Safety Code §5473 states a two-thirds majority vote of the City Council would be needed to have delinquent charges collected on the tax roll. These code sections detail other procedural requirements, including at least once a year the preparation of, and filing with the City, a report on delinquent fees describing each real property parcel receiving solid waste collection services and the charges for each parcel; the City fixing a time, date, and place for hearing the report and any objections or protests to said report; and mailing a notice of the hearing to property owners listed on the report 10 days prior to the date of the hearing.
After conducting the public hearing to receive the report on delinquent solid waste collection fees and any objections or protests of the property owners liable for the delinquent solid waste fees, the City Council is then requested to confirm the delinquent fees presented in the report, authorize adding to those delinquent fees the City’s 2% administration fee, and authorize the San Luis Obispo County Assessor to assess those amounts due on the delinquent accounts with the City’s administration fee as liens against the property.
Should the City Council authorize the County Assessor to assess the delinquent solid waste and City administration fees as tax liens against the properties, staff will prepare a Direct Charge/Special Assessment packet and submit those charges to the Assessor for the upcoming 2023-24 tax roll year.
As part of this packet preparation, staff will confirm with MBGS whether any of the delinquent fees were paid in between the time the City was provided the final lien list from MBGS and this public hearing. Any property that has paid its delinquent fees during that time will be removed from the list of properties with delinquent charges in the Direct Charge/Special Assessment packet. The County Assessor will collect the assessed lien amounts added to the tax roll and remit them to the City after taxes are paid to the Assessor.
DISCUSSION
MBGS has taken the actions prescribed within the MBMC Section 8.16.385 to collect delinquent solid waste collection accounts and on May 6, 2024 submitted to the City a list of delinquent solid waste collection accounts that did not pay by the due date after being properly noticed so that City staff could report these delinquent fees to the City Council and request authorization of the San Luis Obispo County Assessor to assess such amounts due as tax liens against the properties.
The properties listed in the report submitted to the City were Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN):
3 Per the Government Code and Health and Safety Code, on May 30, 2024, staff sent letters by certified mail notifying the property owners for the APNs listed above of the City Council public hearing date, time, and location, to receive the report of delinquent solid waste fees as well as any objections or protests to said report. On June 5, City staff confirmed with MBGS that the delinquent fee owed for APN 006-201-027 had been paid and could be removed from the final lien list, and that all other properties on the final list submitted to the City remained unpaid.
The amounts reported to the City do not include the 2% administration fee assessed by the City for costs associated with the processing of the liens with the San Luis Obispo County Assessor. With the addition of the administration fee, the total fees staff recommends the City Council authorize the San Luis Obispo County Assessor to assess as tax liens against the properties below is as follows:
CONCLUSION
MBGS has gone through the process outlined in the MBMC and submitted the final list of property owners that failed to make the requested payment by the due date. In addition, City staff has gone through the process outlined in the Government Code by setting a hearing date to report to the City Council on delinquent solid waste fees, presenting to Council this report on delinquent fees, and notifying the affected property owners of the date, time, and location of the public hearing not less than 10 days prior to the hearing date.
Staff recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive the report on delinquent solid waste collection fees, hear any objections or protests to the report, authorize the addition of the City’s 2% administration fee to the delinquent fees, and adopt Resolution No. 34-24 authorizing the San Luis Obispo County Assessor to assess amounts due on delinquent solid waste collection accounts as tax liens against the properties.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: June 3, 2024 FROM: Rachael Hendricks, Human Resources/Risk Manager
Emily Conrad, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 8 to Contract Services Agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP for City Attorney Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Amendment No. 8 to the contract services agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP for city attorney services.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2024-25 anticipated budget for legal services supports the proposed amendment.
BACKGROUND
Aleshire & Wynder, LLP (A&W) is a full-service public agency law firm with over sixty attorneys and offices spanning from the San Francisco Bay Area to San Diego. A&W provides a comprehensive array of legal services to the City, including but not limited to labor and employment, real property development, environmental law, public finance, torts, public safety, refuse and recycling, negotiations, real estate, land use and zoning, complex litigation, franchises, water law, constitutional law, appeals, and election law.
Over ten years ago, in March 2014 the City Council entered into a contract services agreement with the law firm of A&W to provide contract city attorney services. The contract services agreement was amended in December 2014 to remove the title of interim, was amended on June 9, 2015, to reduce evaluations to once annually, and was further amended effective January 1, 2019, to appoint A&W partner Chris F. Neumeyer as City Attorney. The contract does not automatically adjust rates based on the CPI or for a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Since retaining A&W in 2014, the Council has adjusted the A&W contract for rate increases only four times over the last ten years.
DISCUSSION
The benefits of the contract with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP lies in the ten years of experience the firm has worked with the City of Morro Bay and the range of legal services the firm offers. This model provides comprehensive legal support tailored to the City's diverse needs and is likely more costeffective than maintaining an in-house attorney. By outsourcing legal services, the City avoids the substantial overhead costs associated with employing full-time legal staff and can instead benefit AGENDA NO: 9.a
MEETING DATE: June 11, 2024
from competitive hourly rates, particularly as Aleshire & Wynder's rates are significantly below the market average in San Luis Obispo County. This approach enables the City to manage legal expenses efficiently while ensuring high-quality legal representation.
A&W currently offers services to Morro Bay at hourly rates significantly below market in San Luis Obispo County. Specifically, the rates for special legal services are 27% below market, and the rates for general legal services are 16% below market. These rates are the lowest among the six of the seven cities in the county with a contract city attorney.
Amendment No. 8 proposes to adjust the special legal services hourly rate to 16% below market and the general legal services rate to 5% below market through an 11% market adjustment for hourly legal rates. Additionally, the amendment provides a 4% COLA for the hourly rates, aligning with the COLAs for the City’s represented and unrepresented employees. The amended hourly rates effective July 1, 2024, will be:
First 50 hours of general services $219.00/hour
Hours over 50 for general services $242.00/hour
Special services $294.00/hour
Insurance defense $201.00/hour
Private party reimbursement $322.00/hour
Paralegals/Law Clerks $167.00/hour
Document Clerks $92.00/hour
For context, the average special services rate in the County for FY 2023-24 is $326/hour and with a 4% COLA is $339/hour. The average general services rate in the County for FY 2023-24 is $232/hour and with a 4% COLA is $241/hour.
CONCLUSION
Council is asked to approve Amendment No. 8 to the contract services agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP for city attorney services.

Neumeyer as City Attorney; and WHEREAS, the Agreement does not automatically adjust rates based on the CPI or for a cost of living adjustment, and since retaining A&W in 2014 the Council has amended the Agreement only four times over the last ten years to provide for a compensation increase; and
WHEREAS, hourly rates for which A&W services Morro Bay are the lowest in San Luis Obispo County for the six of the seven cities in the county who have a contract city attorney; and
WHEREAS, hourly rates for which A&W services Morro Bay are currently 27% below market for the special legal services hourly rate and 16% below market for the general legal services hourly rate; and
WHEREAS, City desires to provide an 11% market adjustment increase to hourly rates for legal services, bringing the special services rate to 16% below market and the general services rate to 5% below market; and
WHEREAS, consistent generally with cost of living adjustments (COLAs) that will be provided to City’s represented and unrepresented employees, City also desires to provide a cost of living adjustment to A&W through a 4% COLA to hourly rates; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, City and A&W mutually agree as follows:
1. As of July 1, 2024, and thereafter, Section 5 of the Agreement is amended to modify hourly rates for legal services as follows:
