AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date:           September 11, 2006

From:                          Dennis M. Sargent, Fire Chief

Subject:                      Resolution authorizing  execution of an Independent Contractor

Agreement with Jim Yarbrough

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the agreement with Jim Yarborough as a part-time independent contractor for building inspections.

Analysis:

Division Chief Brien Bowers is on extended medical leave. He will not be available for work for at least six weeks. Jim Yarbrough has agreed to work as a part-time independent contractor to insure that critical inspections are completed so as not to delay permits and construction in the City.

Options:

1.  Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the independent contractor agreement with Jim Yarborough, or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

This is an unbudgeted, unanticipated expense because Chief Bowers’ absence could not have been predicted. A budget adjustment may be needed to fund the expense.
