COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 08/17/2021 ITEM NO: 8
DATE: August 6, 2021
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to execute a Second Amendment for a time
extension only for an Agreement for Consultant Services with Mintier Harnish
for Preparation of the General Plan update and Environmental Impact Report.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Town Manager to execute a Second Amendment for a time extension only for an
Agreement for Consultant Services with Mintier Harnish for preparation of the General Plan
update and Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
BACKGROUND:
On July 9, 2018, the Town Council authorized the Town Manager to enter into an Agreement with
Mintier Harnish for the preparation of the General Plan update and EIR. The term of the original
Agreement that was executed had an expiration date of July 31, 2020.
On August 1, 2020, the Town approved a First Amendment to an Agreement to extend the term
expiration to July 31, 2021.
DISCUSSION:
The final General Plan 2040 document and EIR have not yet been considered by the Planning
Commission or Town Council. Therefore, staff is requesting that the contract term be extended
to March 31, 2022.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute a Second
Amendment to an Agreement (Attachment 1) with Mintier Harnish so the General Plan update
and EIR processes can be completed.
