Cf Atty. C. Mgr. Subject :REORGANIZATION CONSULTANT Water Services Statement of the Matter During the next several months the City will be required to do substantial staff work concerning the proposal to create a subsidiary district of Costa Real Municipal Water District. The type of work to be done includes: -- research into the pros and cons of the proposal — preparation of various written reports — undertaking a public information program to inform the voters — representation at public agency hearings — coordinating staff and citizen committee activities — negotiation with water districts over terms of settlement agreements .- — assist in the conduction of a special election In my judgment the time required for these tasks would overburden regular city staff. It is my recommendation that the City Council authorize the hiring of a consultant to work with the City Manager to coordinate and carry out the city's effort. Fiscal Impact An election will most likely be held in March, 1981. For 9 months the consultant contract plus expenses would total about $15,000. This amount could be appropriated from the water fund.
