RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director, Conservation and Development, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Macias, Gini & O'Connell, increasing the payment limit by $178,000 to a new total payment limit of $544,000, and extending the term of the contract from the existing termination date of December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013, to provide continuing special accounting services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None to the General Fund. Funding is proposed from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund administered by the County Auditor Controller, reserves held by the Successor Agency, and bond revenue.

BACKGROUND:

The Successor Agency to the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency has an ongoing need of technical accounting services to assist with implementing the requirements of the Redevelopment Dissolution Act of 2011 and its amendments. The budget provided by the existing contract are anticipated to be fully spent by December 31, 2012. Approval of this contract amendment will enable the Successor Agency to continue to ensure the accuracy of the complex accounting procedures necessary for the Successor Agency's financial transactions and to comply with State reporting requirements during the 2013 calendar year. This contract amendment adds 240 hours of certified public accountant services at $78,000 plus 1,000 hours of accountant technician services at $100,000.

Technical accounting services for the January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013 time period have been approved by the Successor Agency on August 14, 2012 and its Oversight Board on August 15, 2012. The State Department of Finance reviewed this enforceable obligation and has not raised an objection. The need for technical accounting services is anticipated for the July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 time period, and will be reviewed by the Successor Agency or its Oversight Board in March 2013. Work pursuant to this contract amendment for the July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 time period is contingent on these future approvals by the Successor Agency and its Oversight Board.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Successor Agency would not have the special accounting services necessary to maintain records and meet accounting requirement dictated by statute.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable
