FIRST AMENDMENT TO
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH COOPERATIVE PERSONNEL
SERVICES dba CPS HR CONSULTING
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
Amy Reeve
Director of Human Resources
1 BACKGROUND
Recruitment and retention of highly qualified and diverse staff has been a primary concern for the City Council,
City Manager and City Management since the start of
the COVID-19 pandemic, when we first observed a rise
in the number of employees leaving employment at the
City. In addition to the large number of vacant positions, the trend observed by the HR Department is that staff
are leaving as quickly as we can fill vacancies so,
making progress on lowering the number of City-wide
vacancies has been challenging.
2 ANALYSIS
The Human Resources Department is in need of
temporary subject matter expert assistance. In
order for the Human Resources Department to
serve their client departments and the community
in the most effective manner, the department
requires immediate professional assistance.
Cooperative Personnel Services dba CPS HR
Consulting has worked with the City of Santa Rosa
in the past and has proven to have the expertise.
3 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Human Resources
Department that the Council, by resolution: 1)
approve the First Amendment to Professional
Services Agreement Number F002049 with
Cooperative Personnel Services dba CPS HR
Consulting to increase time of performance and
increase compensation in the amount of $80,000
for a total contract amount not to exceed $185,360
to provide professional Human Resources services
to temporarily support the department with current
vacancies; and 2) appropriate $80,000 from the
unassigned general fund balance.
