McNeel City Manager 2010-44 Attachment "1" MANAGEMENT PARTNERS INCORPORATED February 23, 2010 Mr. Charles E. McNeely City Manager City of San Bernardino 300 N. D Street, Floor 6 San Bernardino, CA 92418 Dear Charles: Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal to assist in the development and formation of a regional Animal Shelter Joint Powers Authority (JPA). Having quality animal shelter services is an important issue in every community. This is also an area where economies of scale come into play. It has been proven to be more cost-effective for jurisdictions to come together to provide animal care services regionally rather than having each agency provide services independently. Clearly, quality as well as efficiency are important, and a joint powers authority structure can provide both. Management Partners has the experience and skills needed to assist the City of San Bernardino and the other agencies interested in this process. Before describing our approach, we'd first like to tell you about our firm. About Management Partners Management Partners is a professional management consulting firm specializing in helping local government leaders. We have experience working with all forms of local government including cities, counties, special districts and JPAs composed of local governments. The firm is comprised of former city and county managers and other professionals providing expertise in general government and specialty areas such as human resources, public works, public safety, finance, and development. Our consultants carry out a full range of projects for local government leaders, including working with joint powers authorities, conducting feasibility studies, organization reviews and development process reviews; developing budget strategies and analyzing budgets: managing projects: developing performance management systems; and providing executive coaching, strategic planning, goal setting, teambuilding. We have a track record of quality service to numerous local governments throughout the United States. Each assignment we undertake receives careful, professional attention, and we take pride in the quality of our work. 2107 North First Street Suite 470 San Jose, CA 95131 www.managementpartners.com 408 437 5400 Fax 453 6191 2010-44 Mr. Charles McNeely Page 2 Our Understanding of the Engagement The City of San Bernardino has been providing various levels of animal control services to the cities of Colton, Fontana and Grand Terrace for over ten years. Because of budget constraints and shelter overcrowding San Bernardino notified these cities in February 2009 that their contracts for animal control services would be terminated effective June 30, 2009. The cities subsequently requested an extension of the agreement to provide time to evaluate their options for alternate service providers. Since then, all of the agencies have expressed interest in exploring the formation of a joint powers authority for animal shelter services with the City of San Bernardino. On November 2, 2009, the San Bernardino Mayor and Common Council approved an extension to the existing animal services agreements with the member cities through June 30, 2011 to provide additional time to explore the feasibility of forming a JPA to construct a new animal shelter to serve the agencies' animal service needs now and in the future. In addition, the County of San Bernardino has also recently expressed interest in participating in the JPA. As a result, the City is seeking a consultant to conduct a fiscal analysis regarding the formation of a JPA, including options for funding the construction of a new shelter. Assuming that the agencies desire to move forward with the formation of the JPA, the City of San Bernardino would like the consultant to assist with the formation of the JPA by assisting in the preparation of the formation documents and making presentations at each council meeting. The City also seeks assistance from the consultant to identify options and to assist in finding a location for a new animal shelter. Assuming the formation of the JPA is approved by the agencies and a site for the new shelter can be identified and secured by early 2011, the City of San Bernardino would like to begin construction in the second quarter of 2011. Management Partners' Approach The process of determining whether it is favorable to establish a JPA, and then whether it is feasible to construct a new animal shelter will involve each of the member agencies and eventually, a JPA Board of Directors. This will require facilitation and careful coordination with elected and appointed officials to ensure that the proper steps are taken and each entity is kept informed throughout the process. The following describes the plan of work anticipated for the engagement. Activity 1 - Start Project We will being by meeting with you and other staff from the City of San Bernardino to refine our understanding of the project so that the project schedule can be precisely tailored to meet your needs. This will form the basis of the partnership between our project team and the City staff. We will also seek to further understand the details of this project by requesting documents such as current budget documents, previous reports regarding shelter services, and shelter data. After we conduct the meeting with you and your staff and review the data, we will conduct individual meetings with the agencies that have expressed interest in being part of the JPA to determine their level of interest and goals. The information we gather from these meetings will assist us in the preparation of the fiscal and feasibility analysis that we will conduct during the next activity. /' 2010-44 Mr. Charles McNeely Page 3 Activity 2 - Prepare Fiscal Analysis Management Partners will begin this activity by analyzing the current budget documents and shelter data provided by the City. In addition, we will conduct a peer review of similar animal control JPAs in California to identify organizational structures and financing options that are utilized by other jurisdictions to construct and operate new animal shelter facilities. Our fiscal analysis will consist of identifying financial options for constructing and operating a new animal shelter. This will include a detailed financial analysis regarding the operating and capital costs of the potential JPA and the financial obligation for each participating agency. Following the completion of our research and analysis, Management Partners will prepare a memorandum outlining the options available regarding the organizational structure of the JPA. The memorandum will include the financial analysis regarding the options for financing a new shelter as well as financial projections regarding the cost to the agencies to maintain this facility. We will meet with staff from the City of San Bernardino to review the draft memorandum and obtain feedback. Following that meeting we will make any necessary changes to the document and submit the final memorandum to all of the agencies who have expressed interest in participating in this process. A meeting of interested agency representatives will be held to review the fiscal analysis and determine the potential interest in moving forward with the formation of the JPA. Management Partners will make presentations to the legislative bodies of each agency to explain the fiscal analysis with the goal of obtaining approval to move forward with the formation of the JPA for animal shelter services. Activity 3 - Establish Joint Powers Authority Management Partners will prepare an outline of the issues which need to be covered in a JPA agreement and coordinate a meeting of the staff members of all of the interested agencies to review it. The outline will discuss areas such as the organizational governance structure, operations, meetings, and financing. Once the staff members from each agency believe the outline covers the issues, Management Partners will coordinate with legal representatives from each participating jurisdiction to develop a draft JPA agreement. Management Partners will then work with each agency to obtain approval from the respective legislative bodies to finalize the agreement to officially establish the JPA. Following approval of the JPA, Management Partners will prepare the budget for adoption by the JPA board. Once the JPA Board has been established, Management Partners will support meetings of the JPA as necessary, and provide recommendations for transitioning to independent operations. During the establishment of the organization, the JPA Board, with assistance from Management Partners and other agency staff will determine how the organization will be staffed in the long-term. For example, each agency might assign a city employee to staff the JPA in one year intervals. However, in the beginning, the City of San Bernardino staff will be responsible for assisting Management Partners with JPA meeting logistics. ""> 2010-44 Mr. Charles McNeely Page 4 Activity 4 - Develop Recommendation for a Shelter Site Following the approval and establishment of the JPA for animal shelter services, Management Partners will work with the JPA Board of Directors to determine options for building and financing a new animal shelter to serve the member agencies. We will assist the JPA Board of Directors with site identification, negotiations and development of financing recommendations. Once the JPA Board and the member agencies, reach agreement on site parameters, Management Partners will develop recommendations for the site acquisition and development. (It is recognized that a potential solution is to modify an existing facility for the new animal shelter). Assuming there is support from the agencies to move forward with the formation of the JPA and there is an approved financing plan, it is anticipated that construction could begin in the second quarter of 2011. Management Partners will prepare updates to the JPA Board and the legislative bodies of the member agencies as deemed necessary throughout the shelter site and contractor selection process. This will keep all parties informed of the progress toward meeting the goals established by the JPA.

Kentuckv Management Partners assisted Mayor Jerry Abramson in merging the City of Louisville government with the government of Jefferson County, Kentucky, into a single government for Louisville Metro, the sixteenth largest city in the United States. Management Partners reviewed almost every aspect of the government to complete integration and transition to a best-in-c1ass level of operations. Over a dozen organizational review reports were issued yielding 611 recommendations. One-time cost savings from implementation of these improvements were estimated at over $11 million while annual savings were estimated at over $6 million. Increases in revenue were estimated at over $4 million. One of the projects undertaken for the City was a review of the animal shelter. The review included the operations and management as well as the infrastructure related to the shelter, which was in disrepair and needed to be maintained and updated. In addition to conducting performance reviews of general government functions, Management Partners developed a comprehensive, integrated management system that includes performance measurement and project tracking systems.
