TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DIRECTOR OF PLANNING, BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT
DATE: AUGUST 3, 2004
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE PEER REVIEW PANEL REVIEWING THE OCEAN TRAILS PROJECT
Staff Coordinator: Gregory Pfost, AICP, Deputy Planning Director
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the proposed First Amendment to Agreements for Professional Services between the City and the Peer Review Panel Members.
DISCUSSION
On September 2, 2003, the City Council approved an agreement between VH Properties and the City; establishing a Peer Review Panel to review a geologic dispute pertaining to Landslide A at the Ocean Trails site. The Council also approved individual contracts between the City and the three respective Peer Review Panel Members.
On July 16, 2004, the City Council approved a Second Agreement between the City and VH Properties. The Agreement expanded the Peer Review Panel's scope of work to include other geologic disputes, including the proposed Clubhouse Expansion and Clay Cap/As-built Report.
This item is simply to amend the existing contracts between the City and the Peer Review Panel Members so as to incorporate the Second Agreement between VH Properties and the City noted in the preceding paragraph. There are no other changes to the individual Panel Member contracts.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts associated with this decision.
Respectfully submitted:
Joel Rojas, AICP
