JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CONSENT AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: David Goldsmith, Interim Director, DCD
Jodi Adams, Office Coordinator, DCD
DATE: November 23, 2015
SUBJECT: Consultant Contract — Associate Planner Amendment #1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The Department of Community Development (DCD) has a need for additional assistance for
processing land use permit applications. Former DCD Associate Planner Michelle Farfan has
agreed to work for DCD for a limited time under a contract arrangement. This contract will be
expiring December 311, 2015 and will exceed the initial $20,000 cap.
ANALYSIS:
DCD has a backlog of permit applications, creating high caseloads for each planner and
consequential delays in issuing permits. As we continue to be without a Planning Manager, and
will soon be short another Associate Planner, we would like to keep Michelle as a contract
employee to prevent us from falling further behind on permits.
Community Development staff hopes to keep Michelle on staff until we are able to fill the current
associate planner and planning manager vacancies.
A proposed contract amendment for planning consultant services with Michelle Farfan is included
with this memo. The contract has been reviewed and approved as to form by the County's Chief
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The contract amount is $10,000, and is to be paid for by the Salaries and Benefits monies that
have been saved by our two vacant positions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the contract with provided with this agenda request.
