In City Council's "Destination 2023" priority goals, Council Members prioritized local recruitment for public service jobs across all sectors. The City's Equity Action Plan identified the establishment of a Civic Fellowship Program as a strategic action to help further this goal. The City Manager's Office of Equity, Engagement, Economy, and Environment led this initiative with support from all City departments.
Discussion:
During the 2023 Civic Fellowship Program's eight weeks, eight fellows completed important projects across the City and participated in weekly program-wide activities. In Spring 2023, staff completed recruitment, hiring, and onboarding, and the program ran from June 19 to August 11.
Recruitment & Hiring
In Spring 2023, staff opened applications for eight fellow positions. Staff communicated with several community workforce and educational institutions to reach a diverse population of potential candidates.
Staff worked with Human Resources (HR) to facilitate application review, interviews, hiring, and onboarding. Staff coordinated with each department to create a scoring rubric tailored to each fellow position and scored applications accordingly. A portion of applicants were invited to interview with each department that they qualified for. Department leads selected their top candidate and HR completed the hiring and onboarding process.
Program
The program ran from June 19 - August 11. During the eight weeks, fellows primarily worked within their department. The respective accomplishments of the fellows is detailed below:
• Beatriz Abarca, Library - Square One Maker Camp: Completed outreach, created lesson plans, facilitated day-to-day activities, and served as a bilingual resource for the Square One Maker Camp.

• Arielle Bardwil, City Manager's Office: Supported communications efforts including creating webpages for the Equity Action Plan and Civic Fellowship Program, created Small Business Guides and translated them into Spanish, updated the housing webpage, and prepared social media posts.
• Brandon Williams: Supported planning efforts for National Night Out and helped with vehicle abatement to remove violating and/or abandoned vehicles from neighborhoods.
Weekly activities introduced fellows to different aspects of local government and advanced their professional development skills. Staff coordinated with various departments and local partners to facilitate the activities, which included professional development workshops led by YoloWorks!, panel discussions with local elected officials and department heads, and visits to local nonprofits, community programs, and community assets.
Next Steps
Staff will review results from program evaluations completed by both the fellows and the department leads. Staff will begin preparing for the 2024 Civic Fellowship Program in December.

C. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Cool Davis representative:
Are hoping to branch out with the county working with the nonprofit Spear Influence especially with our regional transit partners. I’m here to plug our current programming in the pledge. There has been a lot of information around the California Climate Commitment Pledge from the governor. Our pledge is open to everyone in Yolo County. Asking folks to commit between now and next Earth Day for 6 items: energy, transportation, eating thoughtfully, resilience, and getting involved. We have lots of suggested actions in each category or people can choose other for whatever works for them. We have an easy to more difficult progression on the list to make it easy for everyone. We have an electrical moped as our grand prize as well as smaller prizes. We’re hoping to partner and run this yearly. The key action is picking the menu that fit the community. I welcome the committee’s interests in working with us to expand and to encourage folks to step up. We have a great way of tracking what people are doing and what appeals to others, we’re asking questions and hosting gatherings to prove support. The flyer can be found digitally online: cooldavis.org/pledge. We also have specific programming for kids and are looking into making it a school program.
D. MEMBER REPORTS
Aulman: We be hearing back from the Green Schoolyards grant by the end of June. The grant has real implications for the Woodland district. If it comes through, that’s 5 campuses with $2 million each plus to increase tree canopy, create learning centers and many other improvements. 3 years of planning
implementation and maintenance included. So, we’ll see. I think the footprint of the district is large enough in Woodland that it’ll be a significant benefit to Woodland.
Grandia: The finalized updates to the integrated pest management policy at the school district. It goes above and beyond the minimum set by the state. So, some of the nuances are that if the district contacts someone with spray, then everyone will be notified. The district has committed to flagging areas in the spring that way people are aware and can be on the lookout. The district commits to cross-referencing on an annual basis and keeping tabs on the information from the European Union, such as pesticides that have been banned abroad, but not here. We are looking to do things beyond the letters of the law to the way the city deals with pesticides
Munoz: We’re hopefully going to meet in July because we have not had the chance to. We’ll have a report back in July and this is in regards to the Communications Committee.
Serena: I announced last meeting that we were going to be having a first in-person community info- session. I just wanted to thank you for sending out the information. Thank you all for promoting it and securing that space for us. We had a mix of Woodland and Davis residents, we also had child care. It was good to see parents. We’re still synthesizing the feedback given, but it felt very rich and diverse for decisions around county transportation and working heat conditions. It was a very strong start. I think it’s a good temperature gate for us moving forward: what we can do better and what is working. There was an info session today and there will be one tomorrow. We strongly advise that you make these next ones.
There will be more opportunities. Overall, I bet it went well because we have Supervisor Barajas and others there providing statements. I definitely think we are going to assess the outcomes and prepare for even stronger outreach next time. My next pivot would be to take them to locations where we are missing people from the population. We are open to any feedback or input from anyone.
Frankenbach: We have a CalFire grant to plant 150 trees, but we planted 160 and additionally we planted 27 trees at the transitional housing in late May. We had a lot of help from our two interns. We visited the more lower income parts of Woodland since that where was the grant required, we planted them. We planted 60 trees in this area and we need to put signs that show that the tree was planted with CalFire California Relief Grant. We put some trees by a development, and currently I’m watering the trees in the meantime. We are getting a couple more interns coming up.
E. STAFF REPORTS
Bowen: Last night on the consent calendar, council approved appointments starting July 1, 2023.
Members Aulman, Munoz, Serena, Ullrey, Whitaker and Grandia are all coming back and then we have Richard Peterson here staring July 1 as well as Richard Bellows and Jennifer Greene to new four-year terms. We are looking forward to working with the new fleshed out committee. We had a little bit of a summer pause on our ongoing active transportation plan. My next meeting with those folks is in a week.
Our meeting schedule, where we will discuss chair and vice chair appointment. We will need a vice chair to host a July meeting. We will be contacting new members to onboard them. We need to decide when our next meeting will be held and if we will be taking a summer break.
Member Serena volunteered to be at least temporary vice-chair for the time being.

H. BUSINESS ITEMS
1. SUBJECT: Bike Friendly Investments
SUMMARY: Committee has decided that the First and Third choices are their preferences Bowen: At the May meeting, we narrowed in on bike stuff. We discussed timelines. The group largely landed on recommending on more immediate bike-friendly improvements in the general downtown-core area with any remainder of this rescue plan funding reserve target projects identified as part of the active transportation plan, which will be done in December to further bike-friendly improvements. I spoke with multiple people throughout the city including traffic and community development people, city manager, my team in sustainability. We identified these four general pass-forwards, we would love for this committee to coalesce around one of these four this evening so then staff could then actually prepare a recommendation to council to pursue that direction in the near term. The one thing I wanted to call out is this note at the bottom on bike parking. Something I discovered in the month in between meetings is that the outdoor-dining parklet program, which the city partially supports directly with money will include
bike parking at the Gallery location on first street. Both the coffee shop and the city staff preference would be to build that and see how it goes before we fund more. It would be like a pilot program. It will be able to hold at least a dozen bicycles. The owners have committed to checking in on it to see how it goes. There is regular communication between the business owners and the city.
The four would include:
1. Court Street Improvements: This one would basically be doing some signage, striping and stuff. The city has decided that Court Street is the main place for bikes. Instead of doing lanes down main street, you would go down Court Street. This would be continuing these improvements on court. Signs for cyclists such as parklet this way or education signs for drivers. We do not have a list yet, but the general ideas are making it more accessible and usable for bikes as well as increasing safety.
2. Lockers Pilot: Make bike lockers so bikes are safe from weather and theft. Some advantages are bike security and lockers tend to be utilized by employees. This would help get cars off of streets because they would feel safe leaving their bike. We do not know how many bike lockers we would have in this moment.
3. General Signage and Striping: This could include better signage on Main Street as to where to park your bike. A local road safety plan such as identifying unsafe bike/car exits. Signage such as “watch your bike” or “watch the road.” This would benefit bike and car drivers as well as increasing bike friendliness downtown. This could help increase awareness of bike parking downtown.
4. Bike-Friendly Grant Program: The city could help business owners implement bike friendliness such as bike racks, etc. This idea is still in the works and could help target employee-commuter works, educational sites that aren’t schools, apartment buildings, grocery stores, etc. This would be a longer process because there would be an application involved, so the immediate impact would not be as drastic. We would need to make sure that these kinds of things are public, and not restrictive to certain businesses.
Committee landed on the Court Street improvements as their priority and directed staff to keep them updated on its progress.
Committee discussed street options for the some of the potential bike infrastructure and beneficiaries.
Also discussed the use of statistics when determining the most adverse situations in the community. This item will be continued in July.
2. SUBJECT: Climate Action Plan
SUMMARY: Committee recommends to continue this discussion in July with the new members
Bowen: We want to bring it back to city council to let them know we are thinking about this. In my perspective, we should be thinking about some things in the short term that we should revisit about next steps? That we want to bring to City Staff’s attention.
Although this Climate Action Plan focuses specifically on climate action. Climate action also includes issues such as water and air quality.
Various comments from SAC:
•The only thing that I saw to hang our hats on is doing a new inventory. It would be a good opportunity.
•One of the recommendations is to rename the document that way it can include other issues, such as water and air quality and other broad sustainability issues. •There needs to be some regular evaluation about progress that has been made and how things have reduced this category of emissions. Right now, there is nobody in charge of that. •We are looking at the opportunity of hiring someone like that for the county. We will see. •The final report looks good. I like the community outreach part of it. One of the things I Have a question about Is relating to air quality. Are fire related things considered emergency services? Or is it also considered an environmental issue? I do think we should have a well-formulated response to these kinds of issues.
•These issues are more at the state level in terms of responses.
The committee members discussed ways in which they can assist community members in times of emergency.

ITEM #: J.12
SUBJECT: Treasurer's Quarterly Investment Report
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council accept the quarterly Treasurer’s Investment Report for the quarter ending June 30, 2023.

Fiscal Impact:
There is no impact on the City funds in association with the information contained herein. This report is for informational purposes only.
Background:
Each quarter, staff is required to provide the City Council with a report from the City Treasurer on the status of investments. The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with information regarding liquidity, monthly cash flow and expected cash disbursements.
The City manages its investment portfolio in accordance with the guidelines established by the Council-approved Investment Policy. In managing the city’s investment portfolio, preservation of principal is the primary objective, followed by liquidity and finally yield on investments.
The City primarily invests in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), California Asset Management Program (CAMP), and federal agency obligations because these are generally considered low risk investments. The City’s securities are held in custodial care by U.S. Bank N.A., which provides monthly statements to the City of Woodland. The source of valuations for the securities is marked to market by U.S. Bank N.A.
The City utilizes the services of the investment firm of Baird Investments to implement its investment strategy with the objective of increasing yield and generating additional investment earnings while, at the same time, ensuring that the portfolio’s primary goal of providing safety and liquidity is preserved.
Discussion:
As of June 30, 2023, the City treasury consisted of investments with a total book value of $247,890,021. The City changed it's investment strategy and began investing its readily available funds (liquid funds) in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) instead of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) due to a higher yield. CAMP utilizes the seven-day yield method for estimating the annualized yield of their fund, which is the industry standard for money market funds.
The seven-day yield for CAMP was 5.240% as of June 2023.The yield on the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) balance for the quarter ending June 2023 was 3.150% and the average yield on the City of Woodland’s investments as of June 30, 2023 was 2.18%. This results in an overall portfolio yield, combining all investments, CAMP, and LAIF of 3.26%.
The City Investment Policy has established a benchmark equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill, which for the quarter ending June 2023 was 5.17%. The City is below the benchmark by 2.09%.This is common in environments of climbing interest rates and the City's portfolio will continue to get
closer to the benchmark over time. The City’s investment strategy is to maintain 35% of the investment portfolio in highly liquid funds, achieve an overall effective duration for investments of
1.90 years, and achieve a market rate of return of 4.12% based on the parameter of allowable investments. As of June 30, 2023, the City maintained 32.32% of the investment portfolio in highly liquid funds, achieved an overall effective duration for investments of 1.90 years, and achieved a market rate of return of 3.08%. The City target yield is below the market rate of return by 1.044%.
Over the last several years, the investment market has been very volatile. During 2020, in response to the Corona Virus Pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark rate to a target range of 0%. This unexpected decrease in the Federal Reserve’s benchmark rate led to a significant increase in the amount of “calls” on the City’s investments. An investment is “called” when the institution that issued the investment security redeems it (or cashes it out), typically at par value, plus accrued interest, prior to the maturity date. Investment calls are common and staff projects when we expect them to occur as part of our investment planning, but these calls occur much more frequently when investment rates are declining, as was the case for virtually all of 2020 and 2021. The Federal Reserve has begun to reverse direction and has increased its benchmark rate multiple times over the course of the last few years, and has signaled that they will continue to make increases in an effort to help curb inflation in the economy. This will likely result in increasing rates for available investments, and therefore the City does not expect any of its investments to be called over the next quarter.
Over the next quarter, the City will continue its focus on its objectives of safety, liquidity, and return on investment. The City will continue to invest in high-quality credit worthy securities and will continue to implement and evaluate its investment strategy. The investments will be made with the goal of increasing the overall effective duration of investments to twenty-one months and increasing the City’s return on investment while maintaining compliance with the City’s adopted Investment Policy.
Staff continues to explore opportunities to implement a Community Reinvestment component within the overall investment portfolio. The City has become a participant in the CalRise program offered by the California Statewide Communities Development Act (CSCDA), but that program has been largely inactive since its inception. Staff also continue to evaluate direct investment opportunities with local banks within the community.
The attached report provides a summary of the City’s current investments, including the investment interest rates as they have matured, and current rates for new investments. All activities comply with the existing Investment Policy approved by the City Council. Additionally, a glossary of investment terminology and a report titled “Cash with Fiscal Agent” is included which lists the most recent information available regarding investments for the assessment districts/bond reserve fund dollars.
The source of this information is monthly reports from the various district/bond trustees.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the quarterly Treasurer’s Investment Report for the quarter ending June 30, 2023.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: August 15, 2023
ITEM #: J.13
SUBJECT: Salary Schedule - July 1, 2023
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the City of Woodland salary schedule effective July 1, 2023.
Staff Contact:
Sheila McShane, Human Resources Manager, (530) 661-5807, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The action to approve the salary schedule has no direct fiscal impact as the Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) have already been incorporated into the fiscal year 2023/24 budget.
Discussion:
To ensure accurate payroll reporting and related retirement calculations, CalPERS requires the salary schedule to be reviewed and updated by action of the City Council on a quarterly basis. The updated salary schedule for July 1, 2023 includes Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) that have been previously negotiated with the various employee associations and approved by the City Council.
Changes to the salary schedule include COLAs that went into effect on July 1st for the following groups:
Woodland City Employees Association: 4% increase Woodland Professional Firefighters Association: 4% increase Woodland Mid Management Professional Association: 3% increase Woodland Police Officers Associations: 2% increase Woodland Police Supervisors Association: 2% increase Woodland Police Mid Management Association: 2% increase
In addition, the allowable salary ranges for the Police Chief and City Manager have been adjusted to accommodate future salary adjustments.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the City of Woodland salary schedule effective July 1, 2023.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: August 15, 2023
ITEM #: J.14
SUBJECT: Woodland Professional Firefighters' Association Memorandum of Understanding
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, implementing a three (3) year agreement (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026) with the Woodland Professional Firefighters' Association.
Staff Contact:
Kim McKinney, Administrative Services Director, (530) 661-5849, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The current labor agreement with the Woodland Professional Firefighters' Association (WPFA) covers salary and benefits for 45 full-time equivalent positions at an annual cost of approximately $10 million. The terms of the proposed new three-year agreement is expected to result in an average annual increase of 6.0% of total compensation. This increase will add $2.16 million in total employee compensation costs over the three-year period and is comparable to the expenditure levels assumed in the development of the FY2023/24 budget and forecast. The majority of costs of this bargaining group are funded by the General Fund.
Background:
The current labor agreement between the City and WPFA expired on June 30, 2023. In anticipation of this, the City began negotiating with WPFA on a successor labor agreement in February 2023, and reached a tentative agreement in early August. The tentative agreement was presented to and ratified by the WPFA membership, and tonight’s recommended Council action would formally ratify the terms of the new three (3) year agreement with WPFA.
Discussion:
The proposed agreement provides for increases in salaries and costs of certain other benefits for employees while maintaining structural changes to the overall benefit package negotiated in prior agreements. The new contract also provides for ongoing stability in medical insurance rates, while at the same time providing adjustments reflecting anticipated cost of living adjustments and promoting retention and recruitment of employees.
The major terms of the new contract are as follows:
Cost of Living Adjustments:
• July 1, 2023 4%
• July 1, 2024 3%
• July 1, 2025 3%
Longevity Pay:
Effective July 2025, Longevity Pay will change from a flat amount to a percentage of base pay, based on the following schedule of years of service:
10 years 1.0% of base pay
15 years 2.0% of base pay
20 years 3.0% of base pay
Medical Health Insurance:
The City's contribution towards health premiums will increase annually by 4%, with potential additional contributions if the increase to the Kaiser plan premiums increase by more than 20% in a year.
Educational Incentive:
A qualifying certificate pay for Plans Examiner (available for Community Risk Reduction Specialists) is added to the list of available incentives, with 1% of base pay added for this incentive.
Squad Pay:
In exploring alternative fire service delivery models, the City may use a "squad" approach during a trial period. When Firefighters are assigned to this squad, they will earn an additional 1% of base pay, and Engineers assigned to this squad will earn an additional 2.5% of base pay for hours worked.
The contract is retroactive to the first full pay period in July 2023.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, implementing a three (3) year agreement (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026) with the Woodland Professional Firefighters' Association.

ITEM #: J.15
SUBJECT: TerraVerde Agreement for Solar Asset Management Services
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for solar asset management services with TerraVerde Energy, LLC.
Staff Contact:
Rosie Ledesma, Environmental Resources Program Manager, (530) 661-2059, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The most recent annual report showed a net savings of $160,535 for FY 2021-2022, yielding a projected cumulative net savings of $8.4 million over the 28-year term of the City’s solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The Solar Asset Management Services performed by TerraVerde Energy are covered by a portion of those energy savings in the amount of $40,020 per year.
Background:
TerraVerde Energy, LLC (TerraVerde) has served as the City’s energy advisor since 2013 through an Exclusive Engagement Agreement. In that capacity, TerraVerde has assisted the City in identifying opportunities for energy savings, including assessing feasibility of various energy management programs, development of the City’s solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, and asset management services related to those solar projects. Subsequently, the City entered into an Asset Management Services Agreement, dated July 1, 2016 to provide asset management services for the City’s solar PV systems, consisting of six solar arrays offsetting electricity use at six City facilities. The City amended their Agreement with TerraVerde July 3, 2018 to extend services for an additional five years, which expired on June 30, 2023.
Discussion:
The proposed Asset Management Services Agreement between TerraVerde and the City would renew the term of the Asset Management Services for an additional three years. To ensure that the City maximizes the potential savings from installation of the solar PV systems under the proposed amendment, TerraVerde will continue to monitor system performance, assess system alerts and coordinate operations and maintenance activities accordingly, validate PPA billing accuracy and compliance, track solar production against the production guarantee, and analyze electricity usage and solar PV system production, and prepare quarterly memos and annual savings reports based on their findings.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for solar asset management services with TerraVerde Energy, LLC.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: August 15, 2023
ITEM #: J.16
SUBJECT: New Agreement and Contract Amendment #9 with
Interwest Consulting Group
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, (1) authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #9 to the consultant services agreement with Interwest Consulting Group for an additional amount up to $142,222 for plan check and inspection services, (2) extend the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2024, and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute a new Agreement with Interwest Consulting Services in an amount not to exceed $200,000 to provide as-needed plan check services for large development projects utilizing an Advanced Funding Agreement (Liabiltiy Account).
Staff Contact:
Lynn Johnson, Senior Management Analyst, (530) 661-5979, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Interwest Consulting Group has been providing as-needed plan check and building inspection services for the City of Woodand for many years. In spring 2018, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and, after a Quality Based Selection (QBS) process, selected Interwest Consulting Group to continue providing as-needed plan check and building inspection services for the City. The contract began July 1, 2018 for a one-year period and a not to exceed limit of $150,000.
Due to continued residential building, complex plan check submittals, and staffing changes, eight amendments have been authorized extending the term of the contract through June 30, 2023.
Amendment #8 was authorized in FY 2023 for $70,000 but the amendment was never posted in the City's financial system. There were several invoices totaling $12,775 that required payment from the funding authorized through amendment #8 in FY2023 thereby reducing the $70,000 authorized to $57,222. The baseline FY2024 budget includes $85,000 for contract building inspection and plan check services. Amendment #9 provides contract authority for the combined amounts ($142,222), bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $1,292,222. This contract amendment is funded by building permit fees paid to the City.
The new contract with Interwest for Plan Check Services related to Liability Accounts will have no fiscal impact since the developer fully funds the costs for the services via a pass-thru agreement known as an Advanced Funding Agreement (liability account).
Background:
California building departments are required to have staff in place and available for timely plan review and inspection. The City continues to rely on support services from consultants during extended periods of heightened workload. Currently, calls for inspections vary from 35-90 per day, which is sometimes more than existing staff can manage without the assistance of consultants. Additionally, the more complex plan reviews can not be completed in a timely manner without consultant assistance. For very large projects such as hotels and multi-family complexes, the City utilizes an Advanced Funding Agreement (liability account) with the developer so that the cost of the out- sourced plan review is paid by the developer via the liability account (pass-thru cost).
Discussion:
The Building Division has been utilizing the services of Interwest Consulting Services for many years.
Although we are utilizing contract building inspection services less than in previous years, we still have a need to augment the inspection staff during peak demand times and when the inspection staff is short staffed due to time off. Based on this need, the budget has been augmented as needed through previous amendments to the 2018 Agreement for Services. In March of this year, Council authorized amendment #8 to add additional funding for plan check and inspection services. However, with the change in financial software and staffing changes, the additional funding was not added to the contract or to the purchase order in FY2023. Since FY2023 is now closed, amendment #9 will allow for the carry-over of that authorized funding into FY2024 as well as increase the contract authority to include the funding approved in the FY2024 baseline operating budget. This 2018 contract and the accompanying amendments provide contract authority for building inspection services and plan check services paid for by the City's budget and supported by fees charged through the building permit process.
Occasionally, large development projects require more extensive plan check services where the costs exceed what would be collected through the building permit process. For these types of projects, the City enters into an Advanced Funding Agreement (Liability Account) where the applicant places funds into a liability account to pay for the plan check costs. Since the cost of the services for these larger projects often surpass the limits of our Purchasing Ordinance, a separate contract is needed so that these pass-thru plan check expenses can be processed smoothly and in compliance with the purchasing guidelines. There is no budget request needed to accompany the Agreement for Plan Check related to Liability Accounts since the applicants are providing funding on deposit with the City, which is then passed through to the consultant (Interwest).
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, (1) authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment #9 to the consultant services agreement with Interwest Consulting Group for an additional amount up to $142,222, (2) extend the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2024, and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute a new Agreement with Interwest Consulting Services in an amount not to exceed $200,000 to provide as-needed plan check services for large development projects utilizing an Advanced Funding Agreement (Liability Account).
