HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize the Execution of a Professional Services Agreement with HiIICo Partners, LLC, in
an Amount Not to Exceed $61,000.00 for Consulting Services Related to State Legislative
Issues and Concerns
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement in the amount
of $61,000.00 with Hi!ICo Partners LLC, for professional services involving consultation with the City of Fort
Worth and representation of the City before the Texas State Legislature State agencies, State boards and
State commissions, and the Office of the Governor. The term of the contract will be from October 1, 2010 to
September 30, 2011 with an option to renew for one-year under the same terms and conditions.
DISCUSSION:
The City anticipates that legislation important to the City will be considered during the 2011 Texas
Legislative Session. More so than any other session, local laws and local issues related to city governance
are expected to be addressed by the Legislature that could have a lasting impact on how cities are
developed and funded. It is the recommendation of the staff that the City hire additional legislative expertise
to help with the City's 2011 State Legislative Program. Included in that program are initiatives that are
critical to the City's future such as working to defend the City's interests regarding the anticipated state
budget shortfall unfunded mandates, condemnation, eminent domain the Sunset process, and others. In
addition, there are other important issues that are vital to the future of the City, (e g., the regional
transportation initiative and funding air quality and regional water supplies) that will be under
consideration. To help communicate the City's position regarding these issues to the members of the
Legislature, Speaker of the House, Lieutenant Governor and Governor, staff recommends entering into a
contract with HiIICo Partners, LLC, a major legislative consulting firm in Austin.
The proposed agreement requires that Hillco Partners, LLC, provide advice and counsel on legislative
issues including assisting the City in the passage of legislative initiatives that are proposed and identified as
part of the City's legislative program. Hillco Partners, LLC, will also assist in defeating legislation that is
detrimental to the City of Fort Worth as determined by City Council.
The term of the proposed contract will be from October 1, 2010 and continue until September 30, 2011. The
City shall have the option to renew for an additional one-year term under the same terms unless otherwise
mutually agreed by the parties. The contract requires the City to compensate Hillco Partners, LLC at a rate
of $5,000.00 per month In addition, the City will reimburse HiIICo Partners, LLC for approved expenses
incurred in connection with the performance of its duties and responsibilities under its contact with the
City. The approved reimbursable expenses shall not exceed $1,000.00 for the term of the contract.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation,
funds will be available in the current operating budget as appropriated of the General Fund.
