Council delays Development Compliance Solutions renewal as staff explores local hire option
Summary
The council pulled and tabled a contract renewal with Development Compliance Solutions so staff can discuss a possible local hire and return with options at the next meeting.
The Mount Shasta City Council tabled consideration of a contract renewal with Development Compliance Solutions after staff reported a last-minute development: a contractor the city has worked with expressed interest in becoming a part-time city employee, which could reduce costs and provide more on-site plan-check capacity.
Todd (city staff presenter) explained he had not had time to consult the firm’s principal, Leo DiPaolo, about the possible local hire and did not want to move forward unilaterally. The council agreed to table the item and bring it back at the next meeting so staff can negotiate and provide options comparing continued outside-contractor service versus a local part-time hire.
Council voted to table the item to the next council meeting. No contract was signed or extended at this meeting, and staff will return with recommendations and cost comparisons.
