title
Approve and authorize execution of a Professional Services Contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for preparation of the 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element Update contingent upon award of a $500,000 Department of Housing and Community Development Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant
body
Statement of Issue:
Every jurisdiction in California is required to adopt a Housing Element as one of the seven mandated elements of the General Plan and regularly update the Housing Element subject to the statutory schedule. The City is in the final stages of the application process to receive a $500,000 grant from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to assist in completing an update for the 6th Housing Element cycle (2021-2029). The City Council may elect to enter into a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA), who was selected following a Request for Proposals process, contingent upon the successful award of the LEAP Grant from HCD. If approved, KHA would assist the City in developing a comprehensive update to the City's 2021-2029 General Plan Housing Element.
Financial Impact:
When HCD awards the City a $500,000 LEAP Grant, it will be used for the 2021-2029 Housing Element update to help offset the cost of KHA's contract. Additional funding of $81,158 is available in Account 10060201. The additional funding primarily covers the contract's contingency amount and is available in the Community Development Department professional services budget.
Recommended Action:
