SUMMARY:
On December 12, 2016, the District entered into an Agreement for
Management and Administrative Services with Regional Government Services
(RGS). The Agreement was for a period of
six months that ended on June 30, 2017.
On June 19, 2017, the District entered Amendment No. 1 RGS. The Agreement was for a period of twelve
months that ended on June 30, 2018.
On June 18, 2018, the District entered Amendment No. 2 RGS. The Agreement was for a period of twelve
months that ended on June 30, 2019.
On June 17, 2019, the District entered Amendment No. 3 RGS. The Agreement was for a period of twelve
months that will end on June 30, 2020.
Based on current experience for the past three years, staff recommends extending the services of RGS for 12 months for a not-to-exceed price of $70,000. This amendment will be from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, attached as Exhibit 6-A.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee recommends authorizing the General Manager or
the Administrative Services Manager/CFO to execute Amendment No. 4 to existing
Agreement with RGS to provide management and administrative services for an
amount not to exceed $70,000. The approval of this item is contingent upon the
adoption of FY 2020-2021 budget by the Board.
BACKGROUND: With
the retirement of the District’s full time Human Resources Analyst, staff
evaluated the District’s human resources need and realized that the most
efficient way to fill the position would be to contract part-time human
resources services.
RGS is a governmental, joint powers authority, formed in 2001, who exclusively serves public sector agencies. RGS will serve as a consultant for management and administrative services to provide human resources support for the District on a part-time, continuous basis and will provide onsite office hours of two four-hour days per week. Activities include researching and recommending best practices on policies, procedures, personnel transactions; coaching and training managers on sensitive performance issues; providing training on team building and conflict resolution; developing, monitoring, and managing leave of absence; conducting non-executive recruitments; and assisting in preparation of labor negotiations.
RGS has been providing services to the District since December 12, 2016, and the existing Agreement is anticipated to remain in force through June 30, 2019. RGS will assign RGS employees to serve as the Human Resources Advisor(s) to the District and will provide support by performing District’s human resources management practices, policies and systems and by providing ongoing Human Resources Management services.
