STAFF REPORT
CITY OF PALM DESERT
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: July 12, 2018
REQUEST: Ratify the City Manager's approval of Amendment 1 to Contract No.
C36630 with HR Green, Inc. extending the term from June 30, 2018 to
July 31, 2018, for the provision of services in the form of an Interim
Director of Public Works.
Recommendation
By minute motion, recommend that the Palm Desert City Council ratify the City Manager's
approval of an amendment no. 1 to Contract No. C36630 with HR Green, Inc. extending
the term from June 30, 2018 to July 31, 2018, for the provision of services in the form of
an Interim Director of Public Works .
Strategic Plan & Citywide Goals
Public Works is the City's largest department and its administration is directly involved in
numerous Strategic Plan and Citywide Goals. A well-qualified Interim Director is necessary to
oversee and direct the department through the recruitment process for a successor Director.
Background Analysis
At its January 11, 2018 meeting the City Council approved Contract No. C36630 with HR Green
to provide an Interim Public Works Director while the City conducted a recruitment and selection
process. At that time staff estimated that this process would be completed prior to June 30,
2018, and the contract reflected this end date. The recruitment and selection process for a new
Director is well under way, but not yet completed. Initial interviews have been conducted, but
additional interviews, background checks and transition time remain.
Staff requests Council approve a ratification of the City Manager's approval of amendment no.
1 to the contract with HR Green in an amount not to exceed $25,000. In an abundance of
caution, staff requests an extension date of up to July 31, 2018, but anticipates having a new
Director on board prior to that date, resulting in termination of the contract.
Fiscal Analysis
A contract extension not to exceed $25,000 is requested, which will be offset by salary savings.
