Approve and authorize Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 230266B with Mead & Hunt to increase the contract maximum by $50,000 to complete work necessary for finalization and adoption of the update to the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. (Fiscal Impact: $50,000 Expense; Budgeted; General Fund; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
In December of 2022, the County entered into Agreement No. 230266B with Mead & Hunt to assist in preparing the necessary environmental analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and complete an update to County’s existing Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUC) (last updated in 1999) and to assist with land use analysis and stakeholder outreach as part of the update process.
At the July 17, 2024, Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Adoption hearing the update was continued to September 18, 2024, to allow staff to address several comments from stakeholders and property owners received just before the hearing.
The County would now like to amend the existing Agreement 230266B to allocate an additional $50,000, on a Time and Expenses basis, to cover work necessary to address stakeholder concerns, prepare Response to Comments and consider potential changes to the existing Draft ALUCP.
Requested Action:
Approval of and authorization for the Chair to sign Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 230266B with Mead & Hunt.
FISCAL & STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT
|
Is there a Fiscal Impact? |
Yes |
|
Is it currently budgeted? |
Yes |
|
Is it Mandatory or Discretionary? |
Discretionary |
|
Discretionary Justification: |
That ALUC continued the update to address stakeholder concerns and the contract is at the maximum compensation and additional work cannot be done until the Amendment is processed and additional funds are available for the Consulting firm to complete their work. |
|
Is the general fund affected? |
Yes |
|
Future fiscal impact: |
No future fiscal impact beyond current fiscal year. |
|
Consequences if not approved: |
If Amendment is not approved, the County may not be able to complete the necessary analysis and potential updates to the Draft ALUCP, and the Airport Land Use Commission would be unable to make fully informed decisions about the applicability of certain compatible use within the Airport Influence Areas of Napa County Airport and Angwin Airport, or delineations of appropriate compatibility zones |
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
