RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that by motion action the Mayor and Common Council authorize an amendment to the agreement with Urban Futures, Inc. to continue to assist the City throughout the Chapter 9 bankruptcy process. SUMMARY Urban Futures has performed admirably in supporting the City in the Chapter 9 process. The workload has been immense. U r b a n Futures prepared t h e City ' s financial support for the City ' s Pre-Pendency and Pendency Plans for the City's Term Sheet in October of 2013 and Disclosure Statement in May of 2016, as well as providing support, including expert testimony, through the bankruptcy process. We want to continue with urgency the Chapter 9 process so that we can close out any final negotiations with our creditors and, if necessary, amend the City's 20-year financial model before the October 14, 2016 confirmation hearing. BACKGROUND Since June 4, 2012, the resources and expertise of Urban Futures have been invaluable to the fiscal analysis and Chapter 9 process. Quite frankly, we could not have been found eligible for Chapter 9 protection without Urban Futures' help. The workload has been enormous. Urban Futures has dedicated their best resources to the engagement, providing exceptional experience in accounting, municipal finance and municipal operations. Urban Futures has provided the Chapter 9 support and technical financial assistance for the engagement. Key elements have included the support to negotiations with creditors, financial modeling and reporting, and the development of responses to discovery requests during litigation. The financial models they produced are a foundation for our restructuring plan and the financial reports they provided have been a key element in communicating our financial condition. The team has allowed staff to continue to run the daily business of the City while moving forward with the Chapter 9 processes. The support of Urban Futures has been critical to the City's ability to be responsive and flexible to the timelines and requests made by creditors as well as the bankruptcy court throughout the chapter 9 process. The City recently provided the court an updated disclosure statement and plan of adjustment which followed continued creditor discovery, creditor negotiations, financial planning and the plan confirmation process. Ahead of us is the plan confirmation process, which will require continued use of services by Urban Futures. As a result, I am recommending that an amendment be authorized for their contract. FINANCIAL SUMMARY Staff proposes to move forward under the current hourly rates for Urban Futures with an amount not to exceed $150,000.
