Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors amend the June 24, 2014, Board Order to conform with the approved Professional Services Agreement with JEA & Associates for the provision of state legislative advocacy services at a cost of $144,000, to reflect the accurate initial one (1) year term period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
JEA & Associates (JEA) is a Sacramento based firm with expertise in state legislative advocacy services. On June 24, 2014, an Agreement for JEA to provide Monterey County with legislative advocacy services at the state level was submitted to your Board for approval, which inadvertently indicated the date of the initial term of the agreement as being 2013-14. The actual and correct initial term for the Agreement was and is the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. It is requested at this time that the Board correct the approval of the Agreement to reflect the correct initial term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. No other terms or conditions of the Board action or the Agreement are affected by this correction.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel concurs with the recommendation.
FINANCING:
Monterey County's Legislative Program is funded in County Administrative Office-Department 1050, Intergovernmental & Legislative Affairs Division-Unit 8054. As indicated in the June 24, 2014 Board report, funding for this Agreement in the amount of $144,000 is included in the FY14-15 Adopted Budget. Extensions of the agreement will be subject to the respective annual budget process.
