EXPLANATION:
. • Resour+- s
In September, 2010, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a one year agreement
with CMA for performance of the full range of risk services including liability claims adjusting and risk
management services. Consistent with the terms of the agreement, staff wishes to exercise the ability to
extend the agreement under the same terms and conditions. Consistent with City's goal of fiscal
sustainability, staff finds that utilizing contracted services in lieu of a full-time staff person continues to
provide budgetary savings while continuing to meet the service needs of the organization. CMA, with its
technical knowledge and experience, continues the refinement work that began under the first
amendment including updating policies and practices, and developing efficiency measures. To severe
the relationship at this time would result in a significant set back in these efforts.
