BACKGROUND
Business attraction and retention will continue to be a key priority for the City for years to come
One issue that is frequently brought to our attention by the business community and the average
resident is the need for the City to have a Development One -Stop at City Hall. The purpose of
Development One -Stop is to provide business and residents with a central place to obtain
development permits without having to talk to several different staff members on different floor
of City Hall, which can result in miscommunication of information and a longer process to obtai i,
permits. Programs that will be part of the Development One -Stop include Building and Safety,
Planning, and Development Services.
This is a request to authorize the development of construction documents to help realize the
Development One -Stop. Construction of this project is anticipated to begin in April 2008.
Staff requested proposals from two architectural firms for this project. The firms who submitted
proposals were:
QFFNOVE�1
Company
RTK Architects
Meyer and Associates
Location
Los Angeles, CA
Laguna Hills, CA
RTK Architects was selected for the design services based on technical qualifications and
understanding of the project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds to cover the design costs of the Development One -Stop at City Hall have been
appropriated into Expenditure Account No. F1013601-5161.001. These funds will adequately
provide for construction design costs.
