RECOMMENDATION Approve by motion the ten-month agreement to provide information technology services to the City of East Palo Alto and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement under which Redwood City will provide information technology services to East Palo Alto between September 1,2007 and June 30,2008. BACKGROUND In May, 2007, the City of East Palo Alto was notified by the provider of their Information Technology services that they would no longer be providing these services. Upon becoming aware of this, Redwood City's Information Technology Division approached the City of East Palo Alto and negotiated a contract under which Redwood City's Information Technology Division would provide services to East Palo Alto. On July 17, 2007, the City of East Palo Alto's City Council approved the contract and authorized their City Manager to sign an Information Technology Services agreement with Redwood City for the period of September 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 at Redwood City's current rate of $123.69 per hour for approximately 171 hours per month. AL TERNA TlVES The Council could elect not to approve the one-year agreement. This is not a recommended alternative as East Palo Arto's contract could turn into a longer term partnership. The revenue received will exceed the cost of the additional FTE required to provide these services. FISCAL IMPACT One additional FTE would be required at a cost of $125,337 for the remainder of fiscal year 2007-08. The expected revenue from this contractping the same time period is $211,500. p;{, ~ Brian Panty Financial SeNices Director ATTACHMENTS 1.
