Agenda Item H
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 26, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Iris Lee, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Approving and Authorizing Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with NV5, Inc. to Provide Temporary Staffing Assistance Services
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7422:
1. Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with NV5, Inc. dated February 13, 2023, for additional temporary staffing assistance services, as set forth in Exhibit A-1 to Amendment No. 1, and increasing compensation by $50,000 for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $150,000; and,
2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 on behalf of the city.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On February 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 7370 approving a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with NV5, Inc. (“NV5”) to provide temporary staffing assistance services while the Public Works recruitments are in process. While the Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer position has recently been filled, the Assistant Engineer position remains vacant. Temporary staffing assistance is necessary until the recruitment process is complete and the amount previously authorized under the Agreement is close to being fully expensed.
To assist Public Works staff with providing a high level of service to the community, NV5 provided a proposal for additional temporary staffing assistance services (“Additional Services”) in the amount of $50,000, revising the total Agreement notto-exceed contract amount to $150,000. It is anticipated that this will be a shortterm need until the Public Works Department recruitment is complete.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with NV5 will not have a significant effect on the environment.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has approved the agreement and resolution as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for temporary staffing assistance will be expensed from the Fiscal Year 2022-23 and 2023-24 Public Works operations and maintenance budgets.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7422:
1. Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with NV5, Inc. dated February 13, 2023, for additional temporary staffing assistance services, as set forth in Exhibit A-1 to Amendment No. 1, and increasing compensation by $50,000 for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $150,000; and,
2. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 on behalf of the city.

RE: Temporary Development Staff Augmentation Services Amendment Dear Ms. Lee,
NV5 is pleased to submit this amendment to provide temporary full-time development staff augmentation services to the City of Seal Beach (City) for approximately two (2) to three (3) months, estimated to end by August 31, 2023, at which time the City should be able to fill the position with in-house staff. Our temporary staff augmentation services are estimated to be provided a minimum of three(3) and up to five (5) days a week, up to eight (8) hours a day. While days may vary depending on the City’s needs, the City would like every other Friday to be covered. Services will include assisting with grading, planning, building, and encroachment permits, including interacting with applicants, associated administrative work, and other related duties.
We have been providing highly qualified and experienced professionals on staff augmentation contracts for several years. Public agencies have contracted with our firm when it is not costeffective to fill a full-time position; to relieve peak workload situations; and to fill vacant positions on an interim basis. We select, train, and retain highly qualified employees to supplement contracting cities staffing requirements. Our professional staff has expertise in a wide range of disciplines and extensive experience in many areas, including plan check, project management, construction management, and design engineering.
We are committed to providing superior, high-level services to our clients. We do so by maintaining a core of highly qualified staff possessing a wide range of skills that we match with our client’s needs.
Our professionals are committed to reliable performance, positive attitudes, and a mission focus that is essential to successful outcomes. For the City’s consideration, we propose Kaly Morris (resume attached) who will work directly for and be supervised directly by City staff.
For the next 14 weeks, it is estimated that NV5 needs an additional $50,000 considering the above, coupled with the remaining funds on our original contract. Our services will be billed on a time and materials basis for this task.
Permit Technician $100/hr.
On behalf of our team, we thank you for the opportunity to serve as an extension of the City of Seal Beach staff. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (858) 531-6666 or [email protected].
Sincerely,

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Alexa Smittle, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Complete Paperless Solutions
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7423 approving Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Complete Paperless Solutions for document digitizing services, extending the term to end June 30, 2024.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On May 9, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement for Complete Paperless Solutions to provide digitalization services for hard copy plans associated with Community Development permitting processes, including some development related documents within Public Works’ Engineering Division. To date, thousands of pages, primarily large-format building plans collected over the course of more than a decade, have been scanned into the City's document management system, Laserfiche. While the significant backlog of documents has been digitized, more time is required to complete the effort, including digitization of more recent records.
This is the second amendment to the Professional Services Agreement.
Amendment No. 1 also extended the original timeline through June 30, 2023, and budgeted additional funds in Fiscal Year 2022-23. The proposed Amendment No. 2 extends the term of the contract through June 30, 2024. No increase in the original contract amount is being requested for this effort, and funds have been allocated in the adopted Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
This item has been reviewed and approved as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No change in contracted amount is requested. Adequate funding has been allocated for this effort in the 2023-24 Adopted Budget.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the Strategic Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7423 approving Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Complete Paperless Solutions for document digitizing services, extending the term to end June 30, 2024.

Agenda Item J
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 26, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Michael Henderson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Job Specifications Amendment (Senior Community Services Officer)
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7424 approving an amendment to the job specification standards for full-time Senior Community Services Officer (SCSO).
Specifically, the amendment would modify the two-year experience requirement to one year preferred, to fill immediate vacancies and to create a hiring list for foreseeable vacancies and add requirements relating to animal control services.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Over the past five years the number of retirements and positions that need to be filled has increased dramatically, while the pool of qualified candidates for the SCSO position has shrunk considerably due to the current job specification requirement of two (2) years’ experience. During a recent SCSO job recruitment, the Police Department did not receive a sufficient number of qualified candidates meeting the two-year requirement, thus hindering the Police Department’s ability to fully staff the SCSO positions. The Police Department had anticipated recruiting part-time employees for the SCSO position however, many of these applicants did not meet the two (2) years of required experience currently described in the job specifications.
In addition, the new specifications include, as a requirement, the ability to perform duties related to the City’s new animal control program. As the Council is aware, the City is implementing its own animal control services program, which is expected to be staffed by community services officers.
Traditionally, the Seal Beach Police Department along with many police agencies in Orange County, have maintained a vested interest in recruiting and maintaining employees from within. There are multiple examples of employees currently in good standing, that started their career in policing at the Seal Beach Police Department as explorers, or part time police aides and have matriculated into full time jobs. Full-time SCSO positions require a greater skill set and more
responsibility. This practice has proven to be successful in protecting our investment in training and mentoring and lays the foundation for the overall succession plan of the department.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact for this item.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item falls in line with the City's Strategic Plan and the Police Departments ReOrganization Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7424 approving an amendment to the job specification standards for full-time Senior Community Services Officer (SCSO).
Specifically, the amendment would modify the two-year experience requirement to one year preferred, to fill immediate vacancies and to create a hiring list for foreseeable vacancies and add requirements relating to animal control services.

SUBJECT: Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center Contract
________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7425 approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement with the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center to provide animal shelter services for wildlife animals located within the City of Seal Beach for a two-year term at the not-to-exceed rate of $500 per month for the original term, and providing the City with the option to extend the original term by up to three one-year extensions for the not-to-exceed amount of $500 per month for each extension.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In May of 2022, the Seal Beach City Council directed the Seal Beach Police Department to provide in-house animal control services for the Seal Beach community. Previously, the City of Long Beach Animal Control provided animal control services to Seal Beach. As part of the transition to in-house animal control services, a Request for Proposals was sent to several local animal shelters. Based on the specific needs of Seal Beach, the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center was selected as the best provider for Seal Beach animal control shelter services for wildlife animals located within Seal Beach.
The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center is experienced in providing such wildlife animal shelter services for municipal corporations and is able to provide personnel with the requisite experience and background to carry out these duties. The proposed Agreement is for a two-year initial term extending from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025, at the not-to-exceed rate of $500 per month, and provides the City with the option to elect up to three additional one-year terms, at the notto-exceed rate of $500 per month.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of the two-year Agreement with Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center is not to exceed $500 per month, or not-to-exceed $6,000 per year for each year of the Original Term. Should the City elect to extend the Agreement, the cost will be in the same not-to-exceed amount of $500 per month and not-to-exceed $6,000 per one-year extension.
Funding for this contract will be expensed from the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Police Animal Control Maintenance and Operations budgets.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is not applicable to the City of Seal Beach Strategic Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution 7425 approving and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement with the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center to provide animal shelter services for wildlife animals located within the City of Seal Beach for a two-year term at the not-to-exceed rate of $500 per month for the original term, and providing the City with the option to extend the original term by up to three one-year extensions for the not-to-exceed amount of $500 per month for each extension.
