KANE City Council Meeting City Attorney of BRICK RICHARDS, A.I.C.P. Director of ACTION: Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer By JOHN V. GILLESPIE Ci� Chief of Police RICHARD T. HARE City Treasurer MEMORANDU The Honorable City Council Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development May 3, 1990 (CC meeting of 5/16/90) SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO LANDSCAPE REVIEW CONTRACT (BREIMAN) Background On February 1, 1989 the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Wolf Breiman Landscape Architect to provide landscape plan review and inspection. These reviews are related to various entitlement projects approved by the City. The specific terms of the above agreement can be found within Attachment "1" of this memorandum. Discussion Currently Wolf Breiman Landscape Architect has an hourly charge rate of $45.00 per hour for landscape plan review and inspection. In a letter dated March 13, 1990 Mr. Breiman (Attachment "2") had requested a $5.00 per hour increase to $50.00 per hour charge rate. Should the Council approve this new charge rate the City's billing rate will also increase. The City currently charges 25% over Mr. Breiman's rate to cover overhead costs. The initial landscape plan review deposit would remain the same at $500.00. Projects which deposited funds under Mr. Breiman's previous rate $45.00 per hour would continue to be charged at $60.00 per hour which includes the City's 25%. Staff is suggesting that all projects filed for landscape plan review and inspection after May 16, 1990 be charged at the proposed new rate of $67.00 per hour with $50.00 paid to Mr. Breiman and $17.00 retained by the City. Staff Recommendation That the City Council approve the new hourly charge rate of $67.00 per hour for landscape plan review and inspection with a rate of $50.00 paid to Wolf Breiman, Landscape Architect effective May 16, 1990. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 ATTACHMENT,= PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 1st _ day of , February 1989 by and between the City of Moorpark, a municipal corporation located in the County of Ventura, State of California, hereinafter referred to as "CITY" and Wolf Breiman Landscape Architecture ", a California Company, hereinafter referred to as Wolf Breiman ".

Wolf Breiman, Landscape Architect _February 2, 1989 -7- ATTACHMENT2- March 13, 1990 Mr. Patrick Richards Director of Community Development 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, CA 93021 Re: Landscape Plan Review and Inspection Services Dear Pat: I wish to increase the hourly fee for subject services to $50.00 (Fifty Dollars) per hour from the present $45.00 (Forty -Five Dollars). This would bring my fee more nearly in line with the fees being charged by other consultants in the county for the same and similar kinds of services. The increase would also nearly compensate (but not quite) for inflation from the time the present rate was adopted to date. I hope you agree with my request and submit it to the City Council for approval at the earliest opportunity.
