DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
RE: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon Amending Exhibit A
of Resolution No. 2013-57, regarding the Compensation, Costs and Benefits
of its Employees ("Citywide Personnel and Salary Resolution") (Amendment
No. 5)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Find that approval of the proposed Amendment No. 5 to the Citywide Personnel and
Salary Resolution, is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in
accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects
that may have an effect on the environment.
2) Approve and adopt the attached resolution amending Exhibit A — Classification and
Compensation Plan, of the Citywide Personnel and Salary Resolution to add a new job
classification and salary range for a Public Housing Property Coordinator.
3) Approve the attached job description for the Public Housing Property Coordinator.
4) Approve a part-time position allocation change in the City of Vernon Finance
Department's staffing.
Background
As one of the earliest good governance reform measures enacted by the City Council on April
19, 2011 pursuant to Resolution No. 2011-69, City staff was directed by the City Council to seek
the services of a third party property management firm to take over primary responsibility of the
management of City -owned housing. In June 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.
1183 establishing a Housing Commission ("Commission") to oversee the day-to-day
management, leasing, and maintenance of the City -owned housing stock. Staff has since been
working with the Housing Commission to fulfill this directive.
Historical Review of Related Housing Commission Activities
The Housing Commission held its inaugural meeting in August 2011 and diligently began
working to develop a comprehensive rental housing policy and related operational procedures.
Consistent with the Vernon Rental Housing Policy that was ultimately adopted by the City
Council, the Commission then formed a subcommittee which worked diligently and
comprehensively to address all related operating procedures identified by staff. Among
numerous other tasks, these included the establishment of market rents for all units, the creation
of a lottery system to fill vacant units on a neutral, random basis, and a determination on the type
of staffing that should be utilized to carry out the day-to-day management activities. At that
time, staff advised the subcommittee of the April 2011 City Council directive relating to the
services of a third party property management firm and of the limited City staffing available to
perform property management functions. The subcommittee recommended that the Commission
have existing City staff continue to perform the primary management functions and revisit the
possibility of a third party property management firm after more of the policy and procedural
matters had been thoroughly addressed.
In September 2012, the Housing Commission authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposals
(RFP) for a third party residential property manager, and directed staff to present a cost
comparison between the RFP results and anticipated City costs. The City received only one
response to the RFP and the costs of the lone proposer were much higher than expected, yet
comparable to the City's estimated cost for a dedicated full-time employee to perform all the
same functions. At the Housing Commission's request, in January 2013, City staff issued an
amended RFP in an effort to generate more proposals. The City received four proposals in
response to the amended RFP. After careful consideration and deliberation of the two highest
ranking proposals and of staffs summary evaluation of all proposals , Solari Enterprises, Inc.
("Solari") was chosen to serve as the third party property manager, effective June 1, 2013.
Since June 1, 2013, Solari has had primary responsibility for the lease -up of vacant units, the
management of occupied units, and repair and maintenance of the City -owned housing stock.
Solari's initial agreement was for a period of one year, with a City option to extend the
agreement. In light of the upcoming expiration of the one-year period (May 31, 2014), staff
undertook a review which has focused not only on Solari's specific performance, but also the
needs of the City's tenants and how the City can most effectively and efficiently meet the needs
of its tenants.
City staff completed a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of the contract with Solari
based on the service period of June 2013 to March 2014, which included the review of eleven
(11) completed tenant survey forms, a meeting with the Principal of the contract, and
meetings/discussions among certain City staff.
The results of staffs comprehensive review and contract evaluation were presented to the
Housing Commission on April 9, 2014, and can be found in the attached staff report to the
Housing Commission, dated April 9, 2014, specifically in the sections titled, "The Tenants'
Needs," "Evaluation of Role of Third Party Property Manager," "A Reduced Need for an
Independent Third Parry Property Manager," and `Evaluation of Solari's Performance."
Included in that staff report were staffs recommendations that the Commission (1) discontinue
2
the current Solari contract for full service, day-to-day, residential property management duties as
of the May 31, 2014 contract expiration date; (2) reassign said duties to appropriate City staff;
and (3) authorize the Commission Director to negotiate a new contract with Solari for consulting
and advisory services on an as -needed, task -specific or project -specific basis. After significant
discussion and consideration of the potential implications of these actions, both negative and
positive, both real and perceived, the Commission approved staff s recommendations.
In summary, staff has found that the City's best interests have not been served as effectively as
anticipated by the use of a third party property manager for full service property management
functions. Specifically, it has not served to decrease staffs day-to-day involvement as
significantly as anticipated, but instead has added a layer of bureaucracy to certain procedures
that serve only to decrease efficiencies in these areas. This is largely the result of significant.
limitations the City faces regarding the delegation of contracting and purchasing authority to
third parties that private landlords are not constrained to. Staff surmises this would be true
regardless of whom the third party property manager was.
As such, regardless of Solari's individual performance, staff now believes the day-to-day
property management duties can be accomplished more effectively and efficiently through in-
house staffing. However, due to significant reductions in the City's workforce over the last
several years, beginning with the lay-off of approximately 30 employees in 2010 and the early
retirement of an additional 35 employees in 2012 (many of those coming from the Community
Services and Finance Departments), the City would need to increase its staffing to handle the
day-to-day property management functions in-house.
To that end, City staff recommends the creation of a part-time Public Housing Property
Coordinator position. The position shall be responsible for performing a variety of confidential
and professional level work in coordinating and implementing the City's property management
policies and public housing leasing activities; collecting and accounting for rent payments;
ensuring all units are properly maintained; researching and resolving tenant issues; and
overseeing and coordinating responses to 24/7 access for tenant calls, or for maintenance
purposes. It is anticipated that this position would work up to 20 hours per week on average.
The proposed job description
Human Resources staff conducted a survey of the Public Housing Property Coordinator position
from the twelve local cities considered comparable to the City of Vernon. As a result of limited
organizational data, an internal analysis and alignment was utilized, which resulted in the
classification's assignment to a 5-Step pay scale ranging from $21.44 per hour - $26.06 per hour.
The proposed Public Housing Property Coordinator position would be assigned to the Finance
Department and all administrative property management related duties would be centralized in
the Finance Department.
Anticipated Future Related Recommendations
At a future City Council meeting, as part of the annual budget approval process, the Director of
Community Services & Water intends to request the creation of a part-time Facilities
Maintenance Worker position, to help meet the staffing needs associated with the reassignment
3
of repair/maintenance duties to in-house City staff. It is anticipated that this position would work
up to 20 hours per week on average.
Additionally, in light of Solari's recognized expertise in private residential property
management, staff believes that Solari can continue to be an appropriate resource to advise staff,
and when appropriate, to undertake certain specific tasks and/or projects for which Solari has
particular expertise or efficiencies and/or where there is a need or desire to have a heightened
level of impartiality and objectivity. As such, staff has received authorization from the Housing
Commission to negotiate the specific terms of a new contract with Solari. Staff is scheduled to
present the results of this negotiation and the proposed contract, or other alternative(s) as may be
appropriate, at the next Commission meeting on June 11, 2014. Should the Commission elect to
move forward with a new contract with Solari, staff would present the item to City Council for
approval. Vernon Municipal Code Section 2.126(c) requires prior approval by the City Council
of Housing Commission related contracts that exceed an aggregate of $25,000 over the term of
the contract. Although the proposed contract with Solari would be new and therefore technically
not subject to this provision, staff believes the intent of the provision applies to multiple
contracts with the same vendor over any three-year period.
Fiscal Impact:
City staff expects to hire the Public Housing Property Coordinator in mid -May. As such, the
estimated cost for fiscal year 2013-2014 will be between $2,600 and $3,200. Sufficient funds are
available in the Finance Department's budget. Pursuant to the current contract with Solari, the
annual cost for day-to-day management services is approximately $18,000, including related
reimbursable expenses. This does not include any repair/maintenance costs. Under the proposed
plan to reassign these duties in-house to a temporary, part-time, Public Housing Property
Coordinator, the annual cost for day-to-day management services is estimated to fall between
$21,000 and $26,000. Although this cost is higher than Solari's current costs, staff believes there
is added value in reassigning these duties in-house, specifically in the increased efficiencies and
effectiveness such an arrangement will provide.
Additionally, provided the City Council ultimately authorizes the Community Services
Department to proceed with the hiring of a temporary, part-time Facilities Maintenance Worker
that will be requested at a future meeting through the annual budget approval process, staff
anticipates the annual associated cost to fall between $20,000 to $25,000. Solari's current labor
rate for repair/maintenance work is $49 per hour. The labor rate for this potential staff position
is expected to fall within $20 to $25. This is half or less than half Solari's current labor rate.
The City expects that the costs for materials would remain largely the same as they have been
with Solari.
In summary, the City does not anticipate significant changes in the total annual costs of overall
operation of the management of the City -owned rental housing stock based on the changes
recommended in this staff report.

Backeround
As you are aware, the current, one-year contract with Solari Enterprises, Inc. (Solari) for third
party residential property management services will expire on May 31, 2014.
City staff has completed a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of the contract with
Solari based on the service period of June 2013 to March 2014, which included the review of
eleven (11) completed tenant survey forms (blank sample attached), a meeting with the Principal
of the contract, and meetings/discussions among certain City staff. A summary of the results of
staff s evaluation can be found in a later section of this report.
Historical Review of Third Party Property Management Related Directives and Actions
City staff was first directed by the City Council to seek the services of a third party property
management firm to take over primary responsibility of the management of City -owned housing
in April 2011 (Resolution No. 2011-69), as one of the earliest good governance reform measures.
Less the two months later, in June 2011, before staff had an opportunity to effectuate this
directive, the City Council called for the establishment of a Housing Commission to oversee the
day-to-day management, leasing, and maintenance of the City -owned housing stock (Ordinance
No. 1183).
The Housing Commission held its inaugural meeting in August 2011 and diligently began
working to develop a comprehensive rental housing policy and related operational procedures.
Consistent with the Vernon Rental Housing Policy that was ultimately adopted by the City
Council, the Commission then formed a subcommittee which worked diligently and
comprehensively to address all related operating procedures identified by staff. Among
numerous other tasks, these included the establishment of market rents for all units, the creation
of a lottery system to fill vacant units on a neutral, random basis, and a determination on the type
of staffing that should be utilized to carry out the day-to-day management activities: At that
time, staff advised the subcommittee of the April 2011 City Council directive relating to the
services of a third party property management firm and of the limited City staffing available to
perform property management functions, The subcommittee recommended that the Commission
have existing City staff continue to perform the primary management functions and revisit the
possibility of a third party property management firm after more of the policy and procedural
matters had been thoroughly addressed.
At the September 19, 2012 Commission meeting, after the Commission had completed most of
the heavy lifting in the way of policy and procedural matters, it discussed the benefits of
increased impartiality and transparency a third party property manager could add to the newly
established policies and procedures. As such, the Commission authorized the issuance of a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for a third party residential property manager, and directed staff to
present a cost comparison between the RFP results and anticipated City costs. As presented and
discussed at the December 12, 2012 Commission meeting, the City received only one response to
the RFP and the costs of the lone proposer were much higher than expected, yet comparable to
the City's estimated cost for a dedicated full-time employee to perform all the same functions.
Due to significant reductions in the City's workforce over the last several years, beginning with
Solari Contract Evaluation 04/09/14 Page 2
the lay-off of approximately 30 employees in 2010 and the early retirement of an additional 35
employees in 2012 (many of those coming from the Community Services and Finance
Departments), the City would need to increase its staffing to handle the full breadth of property
management functions in-house, At the Commission's request, in January 2013, City staff
issued an amended RFP in an effort to generate more proposals. As presented and discussed at
the March 27, 2013 Commission meeting, the City received four proposals in response to the
amended RFP. After careful consideration and deliberation of staff s summary evaluation of all
proposals and of the two highest ranking proposals, Solari was chosen to serve as the third party
property manager, effective June 1, 2013.
Since June 1, 2013, Solari has had primary responsibility for the lease -up of vacant units, the
management of occupied units, and repair and maintenance of the City -owned housing stock.
Solari's initial agreement was for a period of one year, with a City option to extend the
agreement. In light of the upcoming expiration of the one-year period (May 31, 2014), staff has
undertaken this review which has focused not only on Solari's specific performance, but also the
needs of the City's tenants and how the City can most effectively and efficiently meet the needs
of its tenants.
The Tenants' Needs
Staff began its analysis with a focus on the City's tenants. Over the course of the past 10
months, staff has received feedback from tenants informally, and staff has become aware of
issues or potential concerns anecdotally. Staff has heard concerns about response times to
service requestsand the appropriate level of maintenance and/or repairs Solari has recommended.
Staff has also heard concerns over Solari's customer service protocols and frustration that tenants
never .reach a live person when placing calls. Staff continues to hear displeasure over the
inconvenience of having to mail in rental payments.
In order to measure tenant concerns more objectively and completely, staff sent the attached
Tenant Satisfaction Survey, accompanied by the attached cover letter, to all tenants in City -
owned housing
Staff received 11 completed surveys from tenants. Below is a summary of the results of the
survey by survey category. As indicated by said results, of greatest concern to the tenants are
response times for maintenance calls, Solari's customer service protocols, including timely
communication, and the physical appearance and condition of properties.
1. Section I. Leasing Experience (includes Lease Renewals)
Nearly half of the tenants that returned completed surveys provided scores of 1 and 2,
"Unacceptable" and "Need to Improve," respectively, for this section. A couple surveys
marked "N/A," while the remaining surveys indicated scores of 3 and 4, "Satisfactory,"
"Above Standard." Some additional comments provided were: "Lack of communication
on timely manner." "Tenants were not given notice regarding termination of lease in a
Solari Contract Evaluation 04/09/14 Page 3
timely matter, nor were we given information as to how to renew lease." "Request for
monthly rent payments to be made directly to City of Vernon."
2. Section II. Appearance and Condition of the Property
More than half of the tenants that returned completed surveys provided scores of 1 and 2,
"Unacceptable" and "Need to Improve," respectively, for many of the items in this
section. "Exterior cleanliness of building" and "Cleanliness of windows" consistently
received low scores. Some additional comments provided were: "Tree maintenance not
satisfactory," "Other than cleaning gutters, no attempt has been made to maintain or
clean the property. Repeated attempts to have lawn sprinklers adjusted or repaired have
gone unanswered." "Improvements greatly needed,"
3. Section III. Property Features
More than half of the tenants that returned completed surveys marked "N/A" for this
section, while others provided scores of 3, 4, or 5, "Satisfactory," "Above Standard," or
"Outstanding," respectively. Two surveys provided less than satisfactory scores for
"Tenant Parking" and "Visitor Parking." Some additional comments provided were:
"Too many residents do not use assigned parking. Too many residents use visitor
parking, which makes it difficult to have visitors" "No attempt has been made to inquire
as to how effective heating/air conditioning operates. Filters not changed. Lease has
replaced all filters on own." "Drainage not properly cleaned."
4. Section IV. Property Management Team
More than half of the tenants that returned completed surveys provided scores of I and 2,
"Unacceptable" and "Need to Improve," respectively, for this section. Some additional
comments provided were: "When calling to report problems, always got answering
machine" "Impossible to contact anyone on weekends." "No follow-up calls in a timely
manner."
5. Section V. Maintenance Services
More than half of the tenants that returned completed surveys provided scores of 1 and 2,
"Unacceptable" and "Need to Improve," respectively, for this section. Some additional
comments provided were: "Response time is very bad." "The response time when you
call Solari is unacceptable." "I would rather see the City staff take over housing
maintenance again."Despite any of the dissatisfaction expressed through the survey, more
than half indicated they would recommend their respective property to others and renew
their leases based on current circumstances.
Some level of dissatisfaction is to be expected. The City has undergone tremendous change over
the past several years. For many years, the City provided what many would consider an
unrealistically high level of service, at least as compared to best practices of private landlords.
As part of the City's good governance reforms, the City is committed to managing its housing
Solari Contract Evaluation 04/09/14 Page 4
stock in accordance with best practices of private residential landlords, consistent with the
policies and procedures established by the Housing Commission. Given the City's history,
however, even best practices, as measured objectively, may still not meet at least some tenants'
expectations. Irrespective of Solari's performance, some amount of time will be needed for
tenants to adjust their expectations such that best practices of private residential landlords will
meet or exceed expectations, as opposed to leaving tenants disappointed.
Evaluation of Role of Third Party Property Manager
Before evaluating Solari's specific purpose, staff offers some observations regarding the use of
any third party property manager, Initially, staff had hoped that once a third party property
manager was engaged, the amount of time staff would have to spend on rental housing issues
would decrease significantly. This has proven not to be the case. As it turns out, the "landlord,"
in this case staff as a proxy for the Commission, has had to remain actively engaged and staff has
not seen a material decrease in its involvement with the rental housing, notwithstanding Solari's
presence.
Staff has concluded that regardless of whom the third party property manager might have been, a
dramatic change in the way the City manages and oversees its rental housing would have been
disruptive to at least some. Managing and meeting expectations has been a challenge. Finding
an appropriate balance between objectively reasonable best practices for private residential
landlords and applying those practices to any particular set of circumstances has also created
challenges.
Staff has now concluded that unlike private residential landlords, the City has significant
restrictions on how much authority it can delegate to any third party property manager,
Consistent with some of the City's other good governance reforms relating to contracting and
purchasing protocols, staff has concluded that best practices for the City is not to delegate any
spending authority to a third party property manager. This requires staffs involvement in any
decision to expend funds, which differs from what a private residential landlord might choose to
do. Another example is that an authorized City representative is legally required to approve and
to sign all contracts, including all leases. Once again, where a private residential landlord might
delegate this responsibility, the City cannot.
Given that staff has to approve much of what any third party property manager might do, it has
added a layer of decisionmaking and in some cases, has slowed response times, notwithstanding
best efforts on the part of staff and Solari. This is one unintended consequence of employing a
third party property manager,
Staff has concluded that many of the benefits it thought it would derive from engaging a third
party property manager simply have not materialized. Instead, there have been unintended
consequences. On balance, staff has reconsidered the value and need for a full -service third -
party property manager.
Solari Contract Evaluation 04/09/14 Page 5
A Reduced Need for an Independent Third Party Property Manager
The City has come a long way in advancing and embracing many good governance reforms, The
Commission is to be commended for proposing a housing policy that the City Council adopted,
and for adopting many procedures that now safeguard the integrity of the City -owned rental
housing stock,
One of the major concerns originally to be addressed by a third party property manager was who
gained access to City housing. Since then, the Commission has adopted a lottery system which
appears to have addressed this concern, and which the Commission will continue to administer
regardless of the presence or absence of a third party property manager.
Two additional major concerns originally to be addressed by a third party property manager were
rental rates and rental terms and conditions. Since then, the City has adopted a policy of setting
rental rates at market, which the Commission reviews annually, and the Commission has adopted
a standard form lease based on best practices for private residential tenancies. Once again, the
City and the Commission have addressed issues that originally were to be addressed by a third
party property manager.
Staff has also concluded that with respect to repairs and maintenance, the City is in at least as
good a position as a third party property manager to manage and oversee this function. If
anything, given the proximity of City crews to the housing stock and the institutional knowledge
they possess, the City may be more responsive and more efficient in this role.
As such, regardless of Solari's individual performance, staff now believes there is simply a lesser
need for a full -service third party property manager.
Evaluation of Solari's Performance
Solari is a professional third -party property manager with an extensive background in residential
property management. Staff wants to acknowledge at the outset all of Solari's hard work and
dedication, and wants to thank Solari for partnering with staff during this transitionary period.
As might be expected, Solari's performance has been mixed, some of which is Solari's
responsibility, some of which is staff s responsibility, and some of which staff now understands
was likely inevitable.
Solari has many strengths. Solari brought a level of expertise and professionalism to the
engagement that staff appreciates. Solari understands best practices for private residential
landlords and regularly advised staff as to how private landlords would address issues. This was
particularly valuable to staff as they tried to balance best practices of private residential landlords
with the particular needs of the City's tenants. For the most part, Solari also managed routine
property management issues adequately.
A weakness of Solari's performance under the current contract was timely and appropriate
communication, both with tenants and with staff. On occasion, Solari proposed communications
Solari Contract Evaluation 04/09/14 Page 6
to tenants that staff did not believe were appropriate in tone. Staff was concerned whether Solari
sufficiently understood the needs of this tenant population and whether Solari could tailor its
communications in a sufficiently particularized manner for specific issues.
At times, staff too was disappointed in Solari's responsiveness to staff inquiries and coordination
of duties, This was particularly true at the beginning of the relationship, and staff does
acknowledge improvement in communications with Solari during the course of this engagement,
attributable to efforts made by both parties. As of late, Solari has been more responsive, and
staff is appreciative of the efforts Solari has made to address staffs concerns regarding
communications.
A couple deficiencies in Solari's performance were also noted by the Community Services
Department in the area of repairs and maintenance. Although Solari's labor rates for its
maintenance staff are lower than the City's labor rates,, the Community Services Department has
advised that Solari often takes longer to complete a routine repair/maintenance job than City
crews would take to complete the same job (sometimes more than twice as long), thereby
negating much of the cost savings of the lower rate. Additionally, at times, Solari has indicated
that response times would be delayed by one to two days due to low staffing levels. Delayed
responses to repair/maintenance calls was something the City was specifically attempting to
mitigate through the contract with Solari.
Proposed City Staffing to Resume In -House Property Management
Although it is within the discretion of the City Administrator and/or City Council to determine
the staffing needs of the City, staff recognizes that the Commission's understanding of how the
City intends to fulfill the property management duties with in-house staff is an important factor
in the Commission's determination of which type of staffing, in-house versus third party
contract, is more appropriate.
As the Commission may recall, prior to the engagement of Solari, City Administration staff
provided primary oversight of all property management functions and specifically handled all
administrative duties, with the exception of rent collection, which was handled by the Finance
Department, while the Community Services Department handled all repair/maintenance work.
If the Commission approves the recommendations in this staff report, the City plans to shift all
administrative duties (leasing, rent collection, quarterly Commission reports, etc.) to the Finance
Department and centralize the primary oversight of all duties, including repair/maintenance
work, within that department, for the purposes of recording and tracking all information
necessary to complete the quarterly reports to the Housing Commission. The Community
Services Department would resume its previously existing procedures, at least in large part,
although some modifications or updates may be necessary, This would consolidate all day-to-
day duties between two departments instead of three, thereby streamlining all related procedures
and increasing efficiencies and effectiveness. The Finance Director would apprise the City
Administrator of housing activities on a monthly basis and would immediately notify him/her of
any specific issues should they arise.

In order to effectuate/memorialize the aforementioned transition, an update to Resolution No,
VHC-2, respecting monthly rent collection and general repair/maintenance services, would be in
order and could be accomplished at the June 2014 Commission meeting.
The City's current Finance Director, William Fox, is a California Real Estate Broker, CPA,
Certified Fraud Examiner, and Certified Internal Auditor. He holds an MBA degree in
Management and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from California State Polytechnic
University, Mr. Fox has over thirty years of property management experience. This experience
is from involvement on various home owners association Board of Directors, managing his
personal property portfolio, and managing his parents' property portfolio. He has "hands on"
knowledge in the management, customer service, maintenance, and administrative functions of
handling a portfolio of properties. The utilization of Mr. Fox's experience and skills to oversee
the City's property portfolio will provide a cost effective and customer focused approach.
In order to resume the full breadth of property management duties in-house, the Finance
Department would need to hire a temporary, part-time Public Housing Property Coordinator
pursuant to the attached job description at an hourly rate expected to fall within $21 to $26 to
work approximately 20 hours per week. The Community Services Department would need
tohire a temporary, part-time Facilities Maintenance Worker at an hourly rate expected to fall
within a range of either $20 to $25, or $21 to $26, to work approximately 20 hours per week.
The City would report to the Commission on the effectiveness of this arrangement at each
quarterly meeting throughout the first year and provide a comprehensive evaluation at the
conclusion of the first year, or any such time prior to or after that as the Commission may
request.
Provosed Solari Contract
In light of Solari's recognized expertise in private residential property management, .staff
believes it would be in the City's best interest to negotiate a new contract with Solari for
consulting and advisory services, on an as -needed, task -specific or project -specific basis, Staff
believes that Solari can continue to be an appropriate resource to advise staff, and when
appropriate, to undertake certain specific tasks and/or projects for which Solari has particular
expertise or efficiencies and/or where there is a need or desire to have a heightened level of
impartiality and objectivity.
If the Commission authorizes staff to move forward on this matter, staff would then meet with
Solari to negotiate the specific terms of the proposed contract and present the item to City
Council for prior approval (consistent with Vernon Municipal Code Section 2.126(c)), before
bringing the item back to the Commission for final authorization. Vernon Municipal Code
Section 2.126(c) requires prior approval by the City Council of Housing Commission related
contracts that exceed an aggregate of $25,000 over the term of the contract. Although the
proposed contract with Solari would be new and therefore technically not subject to this
provision, staff believes the intent of the provision applies to multiple contracts with the same
vendor over any three-year period.
Solari Contract Evaluation 04/09/14 Page 8
Solari has advised that it does provide consulting services to other agencies/entities, and that
such an arrangement would not be out of the norm for the company. Solari has expressed a
genuine interest in continuing to help the City, Commission, and staff manage the existing
housing stock in any way the Commission deems necessary or appropriate.
Conclusion
After careful consideration and deliberation, staff recommends that Solari's contract for full -
service third -party property management services not be extended beyond its current end -date of
May 31, 2014, Instead, staff recommends that staff resume the day-to-day management and
oversight of the City -owned rental housing stock. Staff further recommends that it be authorized
to negotiate a new contract with Solari for consulting and advisory services on an as -needed
basis,
Fiscal Impact
Pursuant to the current contract with Solari, the annual cost for day-to-day management services
is approximately $18,000,including related reimbursable expenses. This does not include any
repair/maintenance costs. Under the proposed plan to reassign these duties in-house to a
temporary, part-time, Public Housing Property Coordinator, the annual cost for day-to-day
management services is estimated to fall between $21,000 and $26,000. Although this cost is
higher than Solari's current costs, we believe there is added value in reassigning these duties in-
house, specifically in the increased efficiencies and effectiveness such an arrangement will
provide.
Solari's current labor rate for repair/maintenance work is $49 per hour. The labor rate for the
proposed in-house, temporary, part-time Facilities Maintenance Worker is expected to fall within
$20 to $26. This is half or less than half Solari's current labor rate, The City expects that the
costs for materials would remain largely the same as they have been with Solari.
Pursuant to the aforementioned, the City anticipates that the additional costs for the new Public
Housing Property Coordinator will be more than off -set by the reduced labor rate for most
repair/maintenance work.
Under the proposed consulting/advisory services contract with Solari, work would only be
performed on an as -needed basis and therefore costs would only be incurred if specific work was
assigned or requested. In order to control potential costs, staff proposes that the contract be
capped at $10,000 per year. Provided the Commission approves the recommendations in this
report, staff would then proceed to negotiate the specific terms of the contract with Solari and
could then more specifically identify the costs it anticipates incurring in the next fiscal year
and/or over the entire term of the contract.
In summary, the City does not anticipate significant changes in the total annual costs of overall
operation of the management of the City -owned rental housing stock based on the changes
recommended in this staff report.

Dear [Insert Tenant Name(s)]:
Enclosed please find a Tenant Satisfaction Survey relating to your tenancy at the above address.

stock. Additionally, in June 2013, the Commission engaged the services of Solari. Enterprises, Inc., a
third party professional property management firm with decades of experience in residential properly
management. In line with the City's good governance reform requirements, the award of the contract to
Solari was made through a competitive selection process.
The contract with Solari is set to expire May 31, 2014. City staff is currently conducting a comprehensive
evaluation of the effectiveness of the contract to date. Your input is an important and valuable part of the
evaluation.
Please complete the enclosed Tenant Satisfaction Survey and return the completed form by email, mail, or
