RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2018-093, authorizing the City Administrator to execute a
Professional Services Agreement with Fasulo Investigations.

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Over the past several years the City has used an outside professional service (Fasulo Investigations) to provide
code compliance support as an alternative to in-house staffing. The City is in the final stages of the recruitment
for a full-time Code Compliance Coordinator, and it is anticipated that the position will be filled by the end of the
calendar year.

The current contract with Fasulo Investigations expired on August 31, 2018. It is recommended that the City
enter into a new agreement with Fasulo Investigations to cover the remainder of the fiscal year, from September
11, 2018 through June 30, 2019; for an amount not to exceed $44,000. The contract will allow Fasulo
Investigations to provide training support and additional code compliance services as needed. Staff
recommends that Council adopt this resolution authorizing execution of an agreement for services commencing
on September 11, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Within the proposed Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget, the Community Planning and Building Department has
included funding for contractual code compliance services and there will also be salary savings available from
the Code Compliance Coordinator position, which was not filled for the first several months of the fiscal year.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

Since Fiscal Year 2017-18, the City Council authorized a total contract amount of $85,440 for code compliance
services from Fasulo Investigations.
