DESCRIPTION: At the City Council meeting of September 1, 1998, the City Council approved the recommendations of the Library Task Force, which included proceeding with the planning and development of a new central library at the Dublin Civic Center site. As part of the report, the Council was informed that, due to the already ambitious 1998-99 Capital Improvement Program that the City Council had authorized, there was not sufficient staff available to manage the planning and development of the library project. The City Council directed Staffto prepare a plan to address project management needs for the library. Since the September meeting, the City Manager has met with City Department Heads to review the Capital Projects presently scheduled for the next five years and those additional projects funded by public facility fees which the City will need to accomplish with the buildout of the City. A list of these projects is provided in Attachment A. After reviewing the major parks, recreation and municipal facilities which are to be constructed in the next five years, as well as beyond that time frame, it has become apparent to Staff that, with the addition of the new library, there are too many projects planned for existing Department Heads to continue to function as project managers and still manage their respective departments effectively. After evaluating several . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: G:\CC-MTGS\98-QTR4\NOV\11-17-98\as-mgmtservices.doc ITEM NO. 8.7 options for providing adequate project management, it is Staff's conclusion that there is an adequate ~ -\ number of projects to justify a full-time in-house position to manage these projects not only during the next five years, but well into the future provided new development continues as planned. Since there will be numerous decisions which will need to be made at various levels throughout the City . and considerable contact with community groups and the development community in managing these public facility projects, it is Staff s opinion that an in-house position would be more effective than a contract project management position. If the City Council concurs with the need for an in-house project management position, Staff would need to develop and receive Council approval of salary range and job classification before commencing recruitment for the position. It is anticipated that the job classification and salary range for the position could be presented to the City Council on December 15, 1998, and the recruitment could be completed by March 1, 1999, if suitable candidates could be found. The total cost for the position and associated furniture and equipment would also be presented at the Council meeting of December 15, 1998. Interim Proiect Management Needs In order to commence the Library Project Planning and to facilitate the development of the first phase of Emerald Glen Park, the City Manager assigned one of the City's Senior Planners to work on both projects half-time until a permanent solution for project management could be implemented. As a result, it will be necessary to increase the City's current contract planners hours by approximately 300 hours between October 1 and March 1 at a cost of $22,500. The contract planners' services will be used on one new residential project and one new commercial office project which were previously assigned to the Senior . Planner. The half-time allocation of the Senior Planner will enable the Staff to keep Emerald Glen Park on schedule, and complete the selection process for construction management, space planning and architectural services for the library. Once the selection process for these services are completed, Staff time requirements will increase based on Staffs experience in dealing with similar projects. RECOMMENDATION It is Staffs recommendation that the City Council: 1) Approve the concept of an in-house position to address the City's Public Facility Project Management needs as outlined in Attachment A. 2) Direct Staff to develop ajob classification and salary range and other associated costs for the position and report to the Council on December 15, 1998. 3) Approve the attached budget change for additional contract planning services. . -2- . . . , ..
