6.J.- Page 2of18 In July 2019, the City of Redwood City, as fiscal agent for Redwood City 2020, contracted with Aila Malik DBA Venture Leadership Consulting to provide interim executive director services to Redwood City 2020. Within the Redwood City's 2020 Executive and Leadership Council, a personnel committee was formed as the hiring entity for Redwood City 2020. The initial contract with Venture Leadership Consulting was for three months while seeking an executive search firm for the recruitment of the next executive director for Redwood City 2020. The search was unsuccessful and therefore the City seeks to extend the contract with Venture Leadership Consulting for interim director services and to execute a separate agreement with Venture Leadership Consulting for additional executive recruiter services for the search of a permanent director. ANALYSIS Due to an administrative oversight, the items were not timely brought to the City Council for approval. We are now seeking approval for an amendment for the interim director services and a separate agreement for the executive search of the next executive director for Redwood City 2020. Attached to the staff report is an Amendment No. 1 that extends the original agreement dated July 3, 2019, for a period of nine months, in the amount of $108,000, including City Manager authority to extend the agreement for one additional three-month term, for a total of $180,000 for interim director services, and a separate agreement for an additional $33,500 for the executive search, for a total aggregate of $213,500. FISCAL IMPACT No General Fund dollars are used for these contracts. Redwood City 2020 is funded through underlying contributions from collaborative members and grant funding. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. PUBLIC NOTICE Public notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. ALTERNATIVES The City Council may elect not to authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements.
