REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
On August 15, 2006, the County entered into a contract with Harris&Associates, Inc. for assistance to the Special
Districts section of the Public Works Department. Recent staff reassignments has left Special Districts
understaffed, and Harris & Associates, Inc. is needed to continue assisting with various projects and program
assistance. In order to provide consistent and efficient service, it is necessary to extend the existing contract until
ongoing County project managed by Harris & Associates are complete.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors' approval, customer service response time and Special Districts program
administration will be delayed.
