Steering committee approves extension and pay items for SPF facilitator contract
Summary
The committee approved four contract amendments extending the facilitator agreement to May 2028, authorizing an increased monthly-hour cap, and approved a one-time $325 payment to the facilitator, motions that passed unanimously.
The Oroville Supplemental Benefits Fund steering committee unanimously approved a set of amendments to its facilitation agreement with Robert Marciniak of Marciniak Consulting Services and separately approved a one-time additional payment of $325.
Ruth (assistant city administrator), who was filling in for Brian, summarized the requested changes as four specific amendments: extend the contract term from May 2026 to May 2028; require amendments to be in writing and approved by the city and the steering committee; add a new compensation schedule increasing available facilitator hours from 10 up to 20 hours per month; and state that, in case of conflict, the second amendment controls. The amendment item in the packet is identified as amendment 32 42-3.
A motion to accept the amendments passed unanimously by roll call. Later in the meeting the committee considered a separate item to authorize a one-time payment of $325 to Robert Marciniak to cover additional hours he said were needed to support work on the city’s new website and related tasks. That motion also passed unanimously.
Why this matters
Committee staff said the earlier contract’s language limited additional charges without prior approval; the changes remove that restriction and increase the monthly hours the facilitator may bill. Staff further told the committee the contract was being amended now so an updated agreement would be in place if the $200,000 advance materializes and the SPF requires expanded facilitation capacity.
Details
- Amendment identified in agenda materials as amendment 32 42-3. - Term extended to May 2028. - Maximum monthly hours increased from 10 to up to 20 per month under the proposed compensation schedule. - Committee approved a one-time additional compensation payment of $325 to the facilitator for previously incurred extra hours.
The motions to approve both the amendment package and the $325 payment passed unanimously; committee members said the earlier request was brought forward proactively so the facilitator would not be working without an active agreement if the DWR advance arrived before the original contract expiration.
Next steps
Staff will incorporate the amendments into the contract documents and proceed with administrative steps for execution by the city and facilitator.
