Mobley Consulting BACKGROUND: Please see the January 22, 2008 staff report on Ordinance 2008 -05 (Group Residential Uses) for detailed information about the City's recent amendments to Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Also on January 22, 2008, the City Council: • Adopted a new Council Policy (F -26) on Hearing Officers, a policy that set the experience levels and qualifications for hearing officers (see Attachment A); and Contract Planning Services and Nearing Officers April 8, 2008 Page 2 Heard staffs presentation of an Implementation Plan for the short-term and long- term periods associated with the group residential use permit review process (see Attachment B). The City then sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Contract Planning Services and for Hearing Officer Services. Seven firms or individuals applied under each RFP. Council Policy F -26 directs that the City Council approve the hiring of hearing officers for hearings held under Title 20. These include group residential use permit applications as well as other use permits, like those issued to restaurants and bars. Mr. Tom Allen, one of the recommended candidates for the Title 20 hearings, is now working on two restaurants' use permit reviews (Sejourand Fury). The RFP responses were reviewed by special counsel, the City Attorney's Office, the Planning staff, and with Assistant City Manager Wood. The consensus recommendations were to select — either for additional interviews or for placement on a slate or stable of individuals or firms that can be used depending upon their schedules — the individuals or firms shown below. Staffs rankings were based primarily upon the qualifications required by F -26 and by the respondent's familiarity with city government, land use issues, and even some experience with Newport Beach. Resumes are attached for the following personsfrms: For Hearing Officers: • Ms. Judy A. Sherman • Mr. Thomas W. Allen • Mr. Charles S. Vose For Planning Services • Larry Lawrence of Lawrence & Associates • Debbie Linn of Linn & Associates • Roger W. Mobley of Roger W. Mobley Consulting Additional review may be needed of the candidates and firms proposed above, including the conflict or ethical barrier review as described in Policy F -26. As of the date of this staff report, no use permit applications have been filed. We expect at least two operators to submit applications soon. The deadline for submission is May 21, 2008. As applications come in, we will engage one or more hearing officers and one or more of the planning firms. Fiscal Issues. This was generally a qualifications -based selection process, not one where the low bidder was necessarily selected. Firm pricing for the identified individuals 9 Contract Planning Services and Hearing Otters April 8, 2008 Page 3 ranged from $105 - 125 /hour for the planning work and up to $225 /hour for hearing officer services. The City anticipates budgeting for this work within the FY 08 -09 proposed budget. Some of the work, especially the planning services, may be recouped from application fees. Special Counsel has opined that fees for hearing officer services may not be recouped from application fees.

However, for Hearing Officers hearing and considering actions under Title 20, the City Council shall approve the hiring of the Hearing Officers. 2 — ROLES OF HEARING OFFICERS. Hearing Officers can serve the community to conduct any hearing or appeal pursuant to NBMC §1.08.055 or can serve as code administrators. Respective roles shall be as follows: A. To hear any appeals authorized by NBMC §1.08.055 plus appeals of California Vehicle Code citations. B.

Each candidate's interests shall be reviewed and an opinion offered by qualified legal counsel prior to employment as a Hearing Officer. Adopted: January 22, 2008 Contract Planning Services and Hearing Officers April 8, 2008 Page 6 ATTACHMENT B USE PERMIT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The below charts and text describe the current organizational structure and phases associated with the proposed Group Residential Use ordinances. The allocation of hours attempts to reflect the hours and costs described in Attachment F, Part I of this Implementation Plan. A — Current Organization. The below chart (Table A) shows the current organizational structure of the Code & Water Quality Enforcement Division within the City Manager's Office. The two Assistant City Managers (Sharon Wood and Dave Kiff) and the Planning Director (David Lepo) have cooperatively overseen the Division since 2003. John Kappeler is Division Manager. Code and Water Quality Enforcement Officers Cass Spence, Matt Cosylion, and Shannon Levin report directly to John Kappeler, as does Code and Water Quality Enforcement Officer Trainee Brian Contino. Water Conservation Coordinator Shane Burckle also reports to John Kappeler (this is a new position added in FY 2007 -08) that was the result of reclassifying the former Watershed and Water Quality Specialist Position. Special Projects Coordinator Jim Sinasek works part time and reports to Dave Kiff. Total non - administrative positions (described as Full Time Equivalents or "FTEs "), below the Division Manager level (excluding the Water Conservation Position) are 4.5 FTEs. Table A Contract Planning Services and Hearing Officers April 8, 2008 Page 7 B — Proposed Organizational Chart — Phases I and II. Under the proposed organizational chart for Phases I and II (after the ordinances are adopted), staff proposes to dedicate contract planning resources equaling two positions (2.0 FTEs) for a short term (possibly through Summer 2008) as shown in Table B. As noted in the Part I of this Implementation Plan, about 1,000 hours may be needed to review the Use Permit applications associated with existing facilities. These two (2) flexible hour contract planner positions, plus a new in -house full - time position (Senior Code & Water Quality Enforcement Officer) would become the "Group Residential Uses' team and would report to Assistant City Manager Dave Kiff. The flexible contract planner positions, which may work different numbers of hours on different weeks depending upon Use Permit applications to be reviewed that week, will allow the City to meet the hourly obligations described in Part I of the Plan. During this period, FTEs in this general category will have gone from 4_5 FTEs to 7_5 FTEs. Table B Contract Planning Services and Hearing Officers April 8, 2008 Page 8 C — Proposed Organizational Chart — Later Phases. Under the proposed organizational chart for later phases (estimated to be Fall 2008 as the ordinances are in place and workload may have met an equilibrium), staff proposes to consolidate and reduce contract resources equaling at least 1.0 FTEs and to switch that contract's emphasis to that of a Contracted Code Enforcement Officer instead of a Contract Planner. Staff also proposes to upgrade the Trainee Position to an Officer position. At the same time, the Senior Officer position, having dedicated significant time to challenging Use Permit - related code enforcement activities, would be designated as the "point person" for these issues citywide (other officers are assigned geographic territory). This will allow the City to emphasize a stated goal, that of improving oversight of Conditional Use Permits citywide. By this Phase (likely to be after June 2009), the Code Enforcement staff below the Division Manager level would have gone from 4.5 FTEs of today's (January '08) structure to 6.0 FTEs, with two positions upgrading (Officer to Senior Officer and Trainee to Officer). Staff believes that this increase will allow the Code & Water Quality Enforcement Division to effectively and flexibly meet its ongoing Use Permit compliance obligations described in the Phase III and Later Phases obligations shown on the Part I spreadsheet.
