ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Change in the CONSENT CALENDAR:
Compensation for the La Quinta Housing STUDY SESSION:

PUBLIC HEARING:
As deemed appropriate by the La Quinta Housing Authority Board.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Fiscal Year 201 1 /2012 budget has the following amounts budgeted for the
Housing Commissioners:

If these individuals were considered to be City part-time employees, the additional
cost to the City would be 6.2% employer share of Social Security or $93. The
employee would be subject to a lower Social Security tax withholding rate of 4.2%
to the end of 2012 in accordance with the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012 that was enacted on February 22, 2012.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 473 creating the La Quinta Housing
Commission.
Section 2 sets forth the compensation of each commissioner who is entitled to a
per diem payment of $50 for attendance at no more than one (1) Housing
Commission meeting per month.
.. of 009
Currently, the Authority does not consider members serving on the Housing
Authority Commission as part time employees. The Members' compensation is
processed through City as an accounts payable warrant. If the annual amount of
these warrants is over $600, a 1099 Miscellaneous Income Form is prepared and
submitted to the U.S Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and to the Member.
Recently, the IRS has been conducting payroll audits of California Cities and has
notified Cities that, if the City pays its Members, these Member payments should.
be processed as payroll warrants. The City of Palm Desert has recently gone
through such an IRS examination and the City of Palm Desert has determined that
they will no longer offer compensation to their Planning Commission members,
which were the only members offered compensation.
If our Members were considered employees, staff does not believe that they would
be eligible for either CalPers or health benefits based upon the limited hours that
are expended to complete their duties. Also, staff believes that if the Members are
considered employees, they may be considered eligible for unemployment benefits
but would be of a limited amount based upon the limited amount of compensation
they receive.
It should be noted that the City of La Quinta is the only City that does not make
these payments through the payroll system. If the City Council wants to continue
paying Members, we recommend that they be paid through the City payroll system.
If the City Council elects to discontinue the compensation to the Members, the City
Council may want to offer to Members food service depending on their meeting
times.
Staff would return at a subsequent meeting with an ordinance change
implementing the changes.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Authority Board include:
1. Continue the compensation for the La Quinta Housing Commission; or
2. Discontinue the compensation for the La Quints Housing Commission; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

COUNCIL/SA MEETING DATE: March 20, 2012
BUSINESS SESSION: _
ITEM TITLE: Consideration to Negotiate a New Contract
with Rosenow Spevacek Group for Economic CONSENT CALENDAR: _
Development and Housing Services for the City/ STUDY SESSION:
Successor Agency/Housing Authority
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to negotiate a new contract with the Rosenow Spevacek Group for
consulting services related to affordable housing.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None for this action. Staff will negotiate a contract for Housing Authority approval;
the contract amount will be included in the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 Housing Authority
budget.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Rosenow Spevacek Group ("RSG") has provided economic development,
redevelopment, financial management, and affordable housing services for the City and
Redevelopment Agency since 1989. RSG was originally selected upon culmination of
a request for proposals process. The contract has been extended four times based on
Chapter 3.32 of the City's Municipal Code, section 3.32.050 (C), which states, "The
City Council may authorize award and execution of service contracts with no
competitive proposals where experience with the proposed service provider has
demonstrated competence and satisfactory performance or in the renewal or
renegotiation of existing contracts for continuing services."
RSG's current contract expires in May 2012. Given the dissolution of redevelopment
in California, separate contracts must be negotiated for the City, Successor Agency,
and Housing Authority. Due to future economic uncertainty, staff is proposing one-
year terms for these contracts, with the option to renew for an additional year.
'p,J 012
Staff is proposing RSG provide the following services:
• Provide assistance with new affordable housing programs/projects, such as the
Village housing property north of the La Quinta Community Park
• Assist with current housing programs (e.g., Watercolors, Cove Homes)
• If State affordable housing legislation is successful, assist with future projects
and programs
Staff is seeking Housing Authority authorization to negotiate a new contract with RSG,
or direction to prepare a Request for Proposals for the services listed above.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Housing Authority include:
1. Authorize staff to negotiate a new contract with the Rosenow Spevacek Group
for consulting services related to affordable housing; or
2. Do not authorize staff to negotiate a new contract with RSG, Inc. and direct
staff to prepare a Request for Proposals for the above -listed services; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.
