Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police Consider a Proposal to Complete the Redevelopment Feasibility Study Attached is a revised proposal from Urban Futures, Inc. (UFJ) for preparation of a Redevelopment Plan and related work. If work is authorized to begin at this time and with a nine (9) month work schedule culminating in plan adoption, 1988-89 could be established as the base year. On August 5, 1987, a contract with UFJ was approved in the amount of $48,000 for preparation of a Redevelopment Plan and related work including a feasibility study. This included an option to terminate further work after completion of the feasibility study phase at a cost not to exceed $15,000. As you are aware, the Council/Agency exercised this option. The revised proposal (October, 1988) is for a fee of $44,500. provides consideration of the work previously performed on feasibility study. This the One-half of the $15,000 cost has been credited towards the currently proposed work which resulted in a fee of $44,500. The completion of the same scope of work is now costing about $56,000 in other communities. Other changes in the proposal include: 1. Modification in the number of meetings as follows: A. Public meetings and hearings from 10 to 8. B. Fiscal review from 8 to 4. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 The Honorable City Council October 19, 1988 Page 2 C. Staff technical from 20 to 6 . The 38 meetings was an unrealistic number and most were to be with staff. UFI has committed to attending all necessary fiscal review meetings. It is also anticipated that staff meetings can be held on the same day as the public and fiscal review meetings to reduce the number of trips to Moorpark. In addition, much of the work with staff can be conducted by telephone. 2. Task #17 of the October, 1988 proposal does not include a Council Workshop. UFI will conduct a workshop if desired by the Council. 3. Task #21 of the June, 1987 proposal included preparation of an implementation strategy.· This is not specifically included, but UFI would assist with such as part of the plan adoption if their assistance is needed. 4. The hourly rates for Senior Level and Secondary Level each went up $5. 00/hour to $90. 00 and $25. 00 per hour, respectively. As with other contractors, in the event of litigation the City would need to negotiate the cost of their participation. It would most likely be on an hourly basis. If this contract is accepted, the City would expend $59,500 for UFI's services in preparation of a redevelopment plan for adoption. This is exclusive of preparation of the legal description of the project area, legal services and printing costs. We previously estimated these costs at $7,000. In addition to the $15,000 for the feasibility study, the City has spent about $1,000 for other professional services costs on redevelopment activities. In August, 1987, the City Council authorized a loan of $55,000 to the Redevelopment Agency. About $16,000 has been spent to date. Another estimated $13,000 would be needed to complete the work necessry for plan adoption. Before approving the contract, the Council will need to appropriate another $13,000 and authorize a loan to the Redevelopment Agency. The previous appropriation/loan came from the General Fund. Staff Recommendation: 1. Authorize appropriation of $13,000 from the General Fund Reserve as a loan to the Redevleopment Agency to complete the work necessary for preparation and adoption of a Redevelopment Plan (roll call vote required). The Honorable City Council October 19, 1988 Page 3 2. Accept UFI's October, 1988 proposal with modifications as contained in this Staff report to prepare the Redevelopment Plan and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract with UFI for this work.
