SCOPE OF STUDY

Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. He stated that approximately one year ago
Council requested an organizational study/management audit be conducted.
Through the request for proposal process Hughes, Heiss & Associates, in
conjunction with BSI was chosen to do the study.
Director of Administrative Services Stewart reviewed the proposal process.
Eleven proposals were submitted and reviewed by the Evaluation Sub-Committee
consisting of Councilmembers Higginson and Snesko, Bill Robertson of the Budget
Review Committee, Assistant City Manager John Fitch, Management Analyst Janis
Acosta and Director of Administrative Services Peggy Stewart. Four were chosen
to be interviewed in depth, with the final recommendation from the Committee
that Hughes, Heiss & Associates in conjunction with BSI be chosen. John Heiss
was present with members of the team from both Hughes, Heiss and BSI to discuss
the scope of work.
John Heiss, of Hughes, Heiss & Associates, gave a background of their company
stating they have been in business since 1974, and they have teamed with BSI
Engineering because they are familiar with the City of Poway. Mr. Heiss
introduced the other four members of the team that will be involved in the
project. The two consultants from BSI are both senior members of the firm and
not involved in the internal operations of the City of Poway.
Mr. Heiss reviewed the scope of work proposed and stated it would be done in two
phases. Phase I would consist of a diagnostic appraisal of current City
government operations. Phase II would include a list of specific issues which
require further study to resolve. These issues would be listed in priority order
and would include estimates of the amount of staff time to resolve.
Mayor Goldsmith gave some background information regarding the Councils request
for this study and stated their confidence in staff. Council discussion included
the formation of a steering committee, and cost of the study.
