TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a First Amendment to Agreement No. 33765 with the firm of Rutan & Tucker, LLP for legal services related to labor negotiations.
DISCUSSION
On October 11, 2014, the City Attorney's Office issued a purchase order, Agreement No. 33765, with the firm of Rutan & Tucker for legal services related to labor negotiations with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("Machinists"). We are approaching the threshold allotted under the purchase order. The City Council is requested to authorize the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to Agreement No. 33765 for an additional $200,000 for a total amount not to exceed $400,000 in order that Rutan & Tucker may continue to represent the City's interests in ongoing labor negotiations with the Machinists.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is available in the General Fund in the department of Citywide Activities due to lower than projected contractual obligations in other programs.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CHARLES PARKIN
CITY ATTORNEY
