RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 1 to a Professional
Services Agreement with Cindy Murphy for financial consulting services for a total not to exceed amount of
$50,000.
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 2 to a Professional
Services Agreement with TCF Design for project management services for a total not to exceed amount of

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
The City uses consultants to augment its staffing capacity, especially when positions are vacant, as well as to
provide specialized services to assist with ongoing daily operations and the completion of capital projects.
The City Administrator entered into an agreement with Cindy Murphy to provide financial consulting services.
Since March 2017, Ms. Murphy has assisted with various financial activities pertaining to financial reporting
and the development of revenue and expenditure projections as part of the budget preparation process. The
amount of the original agreement is not to exceed $24,000. The proposed amendment increases the contract
to allow for ongoing financial assistance such as assisting with the fiscal year end close and budget transfers
and reconciliations. This contract augments existing staff efforts in light of the vacant finance manager position.
Due to a vacant project manager position, the City Administrator entered into an agreement with Forster
Construction Management for project and construction management assistance. The consultant has provided
project management oversight of the Park Branch Library Painting and Carpeting projects and is currently
working on the Police Department Renovation project. The amount of the original agreement is not to exceed
$22,500. (An amendment to change the name of the firm to TCF Design was processed in May 2017). The
proposed second amendment increases the duration and dollar amount of the original contract to allow for
continuity and continued momentum on the Police Renovation project. The City is currently in the process of
soliciting architectural and engineering design services for this project, which are due on June 7.
According to the Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code, contracts exceeding $24,999 shall be entered into only
by Council authorization. It is recommended that Council authorize the City Administrator to execute
amendments to the existing agreements with Cindy Murphy and TCF Design respectively.
FISCAL IMPACT
Salary savings from the vacant finance manager position are used to offset the cost of the agreement with
Cindy Murphy whereas the cost of TCF Design is charged to the respective capital project budget.
WHEREAS, Cindy Murphy is currently providing financial consulting services to the City; and
WHEREAS, the contract with Cindy Murphy is for a term ending on August 31, 2017 and for a not to
exceed amount of $24,000; and
