Laguna Hills council approves consent calendar, contract awards and salary resolution
Summary
Council approved routine consent items, awarded professional services agreements (KOA Corporation and GMU Geotechnical), and adopted a four-year salary and benefits resolution for management and confidential employees, all by unanimous votes.
At its June 24 meeting the Laguna Hills City Council approved the consent calendar (items 4.1–4.13), including budget and development application reports, and several contract awards and personnel actions.
Council discussed the budget report briefly; Finance Director Hendrickson explained May is the high point of the cash year because property tax receipts are posted in May and projected the general fund balance to settle near prior year levels after June billings. Council approved the budget and development reports by unanimous roll call.
The council approved a qualifications-based award of a professional services agreement to KOA Corporation following a process that received six proposals, interviewed five firms and combined proposal and interview scores; council members described the procurement as thorough and unanimous approval followed.
A one-year on-call geotechnical services agreement with GMU Geotechnical was also approved to support technical plan checks and CIP work, including the Paseo De Valencia paving project.
On personnel matters, the council adopted a resolution to update salary ranges and benefits for management, confidential and part-time classifications covering a four-year period starting July 1, 2025, with specified cost-of-living adjustments; the city manager’s contract was excluded and part-time employees were handled separately because of a recent March raise.
All of the above actions passed unanimously on roll call votes.
