DATE: MARCH 16, 1999
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH LISA BROWNFIELD TO PERFORM GENERAL PLAN
COORDINATION AND PREPARATION SERVICES
Recommendation
The City Council should approve the employment agreement with Lisa Brownfield, providing
General Plan coordination and preparation services.
Background
The City is about to embark on one of the most important programs in its history: the development
of the Azusa Second Century Plan, which will include a Strategic Vision and a comprehensively
revised General Plan. As was presented at a joint City Council-Planning Commission workshop on
February 24, Staffs approach will be to conduct much of the general plan work in-house with the
help of a contract planner and specialized consultants. In order to proceed with retaining a contract
planner to be the General Plan project manager, an employment agreement with Lisa Brownfield,
the former Rosedale Project Manager, is attached for City Council consideration.
Ms. Brownfield has extensive knowledge about our community due to her involvement with
Rosedale, and has extensive experience in her former capacity as consulting planner in preparing
general plans for other cities. In the past 5 years,these have included programs in Westlake Village,
Huntington Beach, Ontario, and Los Angeles.
Fiscal Impact
The first phase of the General Plan program has been budgeted in this fiscal year. Funding for the
contract planner will be in-lieu of what was anticipated to be spent on a prime consultant firm.
