MGR APPROVAL OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CARLSBAD VILLAGE ASSOCIATION FOR $167,000 FOR VILLAGE REVITALIZATION SERVICES CITY MANAG^R^^ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2015-080to APPROVE the professional services agreement with the Carlsbad Village Association for village revitalization services, authorize the city manager to execute the agreement, and appropriate $167,000 from the City Council contingency fund. ITEM EXPLANATION: At its special meeting on, March 15, 2011, the City Council discussed one of its priorities to partner with the local property owners, businesses and/or other stakeholders in the Village Area to develop a program, policies, financing mechanisms and/or other initiatives to spur local investment and foot traffic on a self-sustaining basis for the Village Area. At the special meeting, the City Council indicated its intent to distribute a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify an appropriate contractor to implement the above noted revitalization partnership program for the Village. The RFP was issued by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission on behalf of the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency, and a total of 7 proposals were received as of August 1, 2011. The proposals were reviewed by the Commission-appointed Citizen's Advisory Committee, and 4 proposers were selected for interviews by the Advisory Committee. The Committee unanimously recommended that Urban Place receive the contract from the City to implement the desired program. This agreement ran from March 2012 to March 2015. Over the past three years this investment in Carlsbad Village has resulted in physical improvements to the Village, new and reinvigorated events, expanded marketing and publicity and an increase in investment. Urban Place worked with the city on improvements such as wrapping light poles and trees in the Village bringing in new street furniture and signage, adding curb cafes and working with city departments to write a winning SANDAG grant that allowed for new bike racks to be positioned throughout the Village. A Carlsbad Village website was created along with newsletters and social media content, and a public relations firm spread the word about activities in the Village. New events such as Flicks at the Fountain were added and existing events such as the Farmer's Market were improved, creating a more festive atmosphere in the Village and improving the destination for visitors and residents. Investment DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Kathy Dodson (760) 434-2829, kathv.dodsonOcarlsbadca.gov FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY.

Page 2 was increased in the Village by working with the city on improving the existing Village Master Plan and by marketing to and meeting with individual investors and helping move projects from ideas into new office buildings, shops and homes. This has resulted in more than $43 million in new investment in the past three years. The Urban Place Contract expires in March 2015. In order to continue revitalization efforts in Carlsbad Village while the Carlsbad Village Association works on finding a sustainable funding mechanism for this type of effort, it is recommended that the City of Carlsbad enter a professional services agreement with the Carlsbad Village Association. The Carlsbad Village Association is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization whose core purpose is to lead the continual improvement of Carlsbad Village, making it the premier gathering place in North County San Diego. The Association has been active in Carlsbad Village for many years and owns the farmer's market in the Village. The Carlsbad Village Association's experience and continued activity in the Village make them an ideal partner for this type of revitalization contract. The preliminary scope of work for this professional services agreement includes: • Marketing to and assisting developers, brokers and tenants interested in investing in the Carlsbad Village; • Conducting pedestrian and bicycle counts and parking studies and recommending policies to improve access to and parking in Carlsbad Village; Assisting with ongoing efforts such as the Village and Barrio Master Plan and curb cafes; Continuing and expanding marketing and communications efforts; Promoting increased business outreach and participation in efforts to improve Carlsbad Village; • Creating new events and expanding on existing events that bring visitors and residents to Carlsbad Village. This is a one year contract with two one year extensions. This structure will enable the City of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Village Association to revisit the need for revitalization on an annual basis. FISCAL IMPACT: The total fee payable for the services and operating costs to be performed during this agreement term shall not exceed $167,000 and it is recommended that this funding be appropriated from the City Council contingency. The agreement may be extended for two additional one year terms. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The noted selection of a contractor to provide professional administrative services is not a "project" within the meaning ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) since there is no potential to cause either direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the physical environment under Public Resources section 21065.
