EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO.
AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 5, 1997
CITY MANAGER:
ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER
DEPT. HEAD:
SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement for Professional Services with Deborah S. Larson to
serve as Interim Administrative Services Director
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Move to approve the appointment of Deborah S. Larson as Interim Administrative Services
Director and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement for Professional Services.
REPORT SUMMARY:
Pursuant to Council's authorization granted on October 21, I have obtained a commitment from
Deborah $. Larson to serve as Interim Administrative Services Director. A copy of an Agreement
for Professional Services covering the terms of this interim assignment developed by the City
Attorney's office and signed by Mrs. Larson is attached as is a copy of Mrs. Larson's resume.
The agreement calls for Mrs. Larson to be compensated at the rate of $47 per hour plus
reimbursement for any direct expenses incurred while on the job, and limits the amount of work to
be performed in any one month to 180 hours unless a greater amount is first approved by the City
Manager. As Mrs. Larson is expected to begin full time work with the City the week of
November 3, it is recommended that the City Council approve her appointment as Interim
Administrative Services Director and authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement for
Professional Services.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The adopted budget contains sufficient funds for full-time wages and benefits for the position of
Administrative Services Director to cover the compensation anticipated to be paid to Mrs. Larson
while on assignment with the City. A budget transfer will need to be made to reallocate these
funds from the wages and benefits accounts to the account for contract services where payments
to Mrs. Larson for her services will be charged.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING ON RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Either the appointment of Mrs. Larson as Interim Administrative Services Director will not be
confirmed or the Agreement for Professional Services will not be approved. In either case, Mrs.
Larson will not be under contract with the City and the position of Administrative Services
Director will remain vacant.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS:
The City Manager will sign the agreement and the necessary budget transfers will be processed.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Agreement for Professional Services.
2. Resume of Deborah S. Larson.
