BACKGROUND
The Planning Division uses planning consultant services to assist in processing development applications in a timely manner, as required by State law. Currently, Netto Planning Services, LLC, provides planning consulting services through an existing contract with the City. Due to the complexity of existing development projects and applications , staff has determined additional services will be needed.
ANALYSIS
City Council Policy A -10 requires City Council authorization for compensation in excess of $100,000. Due to the demand for project management of large, complex current planning projects and the volume of development applications in Mountain View, this exi sting contract requires an amendment to increase the total compensation by $50,000 to $150,000.
