and critical expertise; and

WHEREAS, on June 28, 2005, EPS entered into an agreement with the Redevelopment
Agency of the City ofChula Vista (Original Agreement); and
WHEREAS, staff is proposing the approval of a first amendment to the Original
Agreement expanding EPS' scope of work consistent with this Resolution and, increasing the
Original Agreement with EPS from $44,480 to $89,480; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends Council waive the formal consultant selection process of
Municipal Code Section 2.56.110 as impractical as EPS' anticipated scope of work would be a
natural extension of its previous and on-going work for the City, making it impractical to solicit
formal proposals; and
WHEREAS, staff further recommends that the City's interests would be materially better
served by waiving the formal consultant selection process because of EPS' experience and
expertise with fiscal and economic programs and knowledge of the types of private ventures
envisioned by the City for Western Chula Vista.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council and Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Chula Vista hereby approve the First Amendment to the Original
Agreement with Economic & Planning Systems to serve as financial and economic advisors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized to execute said First Amendment to the Original Agreement on behalf of the City and
Agency.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council and Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Chula Vista hereby approve the appropriation of funds requested by staff, as set forth in
