ALASKA, AUTHORIZING AN INCREASE IN THE PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES CONTRACT WITH CARL H. NEU, JR., OF NEU & COMPANY,
IN THE AMOUNT OF $686.85 FOR FACILITATING A STRATEGIC
PLANNING PROCESS
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 98-089 authorized the City Manager to enter into a professional
services contract with Carl H. Neu, Jr., ofNeu & Company, to facilitate a strategic planning process
for an amount not to exceed $12,000; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Neu is nearing the completion of the contract and the invoice from Mr.
Neu is for $12,686.85 which exceeds the budgeted amount; and
WHEREAS, the excess expenses came from an increase in travel and expenses and the cost
for Mr. Neu's professional services did not increase; and
WHEREAS, the Administration recommends using funds from the Seward Comprehensive
Plan Fund to cover the additional costs; and
WHEREAS, the Administration also recommends moving the budgeted $12,000 from
General Services Contracted Services to the Seward Comprehensive Plan Fund to more accurately
reflect the City's planning efforts and make the accounting of planning expenditures more clear; and
WHEREAS, the recommendation to move the funds from General Services Contracted
Services to the Seward Comprehensive Plan Fund does not represent a decrease in the
Comprehensive Plan effort, but rather, it is based on the fact that the Strategic Planning process will
be the foundation for the Comprehensive Plan work; and
WHEREAS, the Administration believes that it is cost effective and timely to use the public
input from the Strategic Plan as the base "data" for the Comprehensive Plan, and this is consistent
with the Strategic Planning model that describes the Comprehensive Plan as the natural extension
ofthe Strategic Plan; and
