CC - Approval of Ralph Anderson and Associates to Inventory Businesses OPerating in Rosemead - Internal File 024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 16, 1990
RE: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL FROM RALPH ANDERSON AND ASSOCIATES
TO INVENTORY BUSINESSES OPERATING IN THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
Attached for your consideration is a proposal from Ralph Anderson &
Associates to inventory businesses operating in the City of Rosemead.
The proposal offers two levels of services. The first level would
cost the City $15,840 and includes the firm hiring the staff
necessary to do the actual inventory. The second alternative would
cost the City $8,290 with the City hiring and paying for the
temporary employees.
The consultant estimates that to collect the survey data, it would be
necessary to budget 150 man hours. Recently, the City paid Refuse
Survey workers $9.20 and $20.00 per hour plus 20 cents per mile.
Using these figures, it could cost the City up to $3,000 for labor
and $300 for mileage.
Staff is recommending the second alternative as we may be able to
schedule either City employees, hire temporary employees or a
combination thereof to do the information gathering. The consulting
firm would set-up the parameters, train the workers, and schedule the
work activity.
Completion of this project is an important first step in the event
the Council decides to move ahead with a business registration
process.
J' RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Rosemead City Council approve the proposal
from Ralph Anderson & Associates at a cost not to exceed $8,290,
allocate $3,300 for personnel expenses, and appropriate that amount
from the unappropriated reserves.

Dear Mr. Wagner:
Ralph Andersen & Associates is pleased to submit this proposal to assist City staff
identifying and documenting business operating within the City. Our proposal is
based upon:
• Our discussions with you regarding the background, goals and objectives
of the City in undertaking this study.
• The extensive experience of Ralph Andersen & Associates in providing
comprehensive business license services to many California cities.
• The special expertise of our staff, including their experience as. consultants
and local government managers. We are experienced in working
effectively with professional staff, elected officials and citizen advisory
committees.
Ralph Andersen & Associates has offices in Sacramento, Newport Beach and Dallas
and has been in business for over eighteen years. The Firm's practice is national
in scope and our consulting staff provides a broad range of services to local
government in the fields of municipal finance, organization and management,
personnel management, executive recruitment, and training and staff development.
In addition to providing a variety of management consulting services to cities,
Ralph Andersen & Associates has conducted numerous studies for other public
agencies, as well as private sector clients. In all of these assignments, the skill and
experience of our staff, combined with our thorough and objective approach to
consulting, have resulted in successful projects, practical recommendations, and a
solid record of implementation by our clients.
After reviewing the qualifications and experience of Ralph Andersen & Associates
and the professional credentials of our project staff, we believe that you will agree

Page 2
that an assignment as specialized as this one requires the broader range of
municipal management responsibilities for which the Ralph Andersen & Associates
team is known nationally. We offer a unique mix of practical operating ex-
perience and specific consulting expertise to the project.
To facilitate your review of our proposal, we have prepared a detailed discussion
of our general approach to business license tax consulting, along with a step-by-
step description of the workplan necessary to meet the goals of the City in
undertaking this study. The proposal is organized into sections as follows:
• Section I--Our Understanding of and Approach to the Assignment
• Section II-Workplan
• Section III-Corporate and Staff Qualifications
• Section IV-References
• Section V-Project Timing and Cost.
We look forward to your review of our proposal and to your favorable considera-
tion of it. Please feel free to contact me at our Sacramento office if we can
provide additional information or if you have questions concerning the proposal.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Bragdon

Our Understanding of and Approach to the Assignment
SECTION I
OUR UNDERSTANDING OF
AND APPROACH TO
THE ASSIGNMENT
When the City of Rosemead incorporated approximately 30 years ago, the City
adopted the existing regulatory business license ordinance administered by the
County. In that regulatory ordinances only apply to those business activities that
potentially pose a public health or safety hazard, the City has never had the
resources or mechanisms in place to document and track the number of businesses
operating within the City. In this regard, the City is seeking the assistance of an
outside consultant to identify and document businesses operating within the City:
In developing a comprehensive inventory of current business activity within the
City, it is anticipated that the following type of information will be compiled:
• Name of Business
• Type of business
• Location.
This information will assist the City in making decisions that impact the business
community and will serve as the foundation for determining whether or not to
establish a formal registration program. With this basic information in place,
more detailed information on business activities and trends can easily be obtained
through in-house surveys. Examples of other types of data that may be useful to
the City include number of employees, length of time in operation, and total gross
receipts.
To achieve the City's objectives in undertaking this assignment, we have developed
two alternative study approaches for your review and consideration. The first
involves using our consulting staff to complete all study tasks and physically
document all businesses operating within the City. The second approach uses our
staff as technical advisors in designing the approach for developing the business
inventory and auditing the results. Under this alternative, the actual physical
inventory would be compiled by temporary staff retained by the City.

Our Understanding of and Approach to the Assignment
The specific workplan designed to meet the City's needs through this study is
presented in the next section of this proposal.
Page 2
Workplan
SECTION H
WORKMAN
In order to fully and accurately meet the needs of the City, we have carefully
developed a workplan which is consistent with the approach just described in the
preceding section, and which will guide the study team in achieving the specific
objectives of the assignment. The workplan is presented as a detailed discussion
of the specific steps to be taken to cover the desired scope, purpose, method and
end-product of the assignment.
Task 1--Meet With City Staff
It is important for the overall success of the assignment that the consulting team
and the responsible City staff have a mutual understanding of the study process
and related matters. To help ensure that this occurs, the consultants will initiate
the assignment by meeting with appropriate City staff. The purpose for the
meeting will be to review in detail the study objectives, scope, timing and end-
products.
Task 2--Conduct Data Collection
In conjunction with the initial meetings described in Task 1 above, the consul-
tants will identify and collect relevant data from the City to facilitate the
consulting team's understanding of the general make-up of the business com-
munity prior to developing the business inventory. Typical of the materials which
would be collected are:
• Any staff reports which may have been prepared on the subject
• Engine company and fire prevention bureau inspection data
• Building permit data -
• Planning Department data concerning commercial land uses
• The City's regulatory business license tax ordinance.
Task 3--Confirm Scone of Field Inventory
Prior to commencing with field activities to identify and document businesses
operating within the City, the specific areas and streets to be physically covered
will be clarified with appropriate City staff. Although possible to audit every
Page 3
M Workplan
square block within the City limits, the cost effectiveness of this type of approach
is questionable. Therefore, prior to undertaking any field activities, major areas
and streets noted for high business activity will be identified and focused on
during subsequent study tasks. For budgeting purposes, a certain number of days
are assumed for completing the field inventory (refer to Section V of our
Proposal). Days beyond those budgeted would be billed at the Firm's standard
billing rates.
Task 4--Conduct Field Audit
In this Task, project consultants will literally walk the streets of the City, covering
the areas identified in Task 2. Using dictating equipment, information on
business' name, type and location will be compiled. The end result of this task
will be a comprehensive inventory of those businesses operating within the City
including sortable information on business type, name and location.
Task 5--Compile Business Inventory Data
Using standard lotus spreadsheets, the information collected in Task 4 will be
compiled and formatted in a way that will allow City staff to easily update and
" modify the information. The information will also be formatted to allow City
staff the ability to sort and analyze the data in numerous configurations.
Task 6--Audit Business Inventory Data
Once the business inventory has been compiled (Task 5), the information will be
audited and cross-referenced against available City records to further ensure that
all businesses are accounted for. and properly allocated. Examples of the type of
City records that will be referenced include:
• Sales Tax Reports from the State Board of Equalization
• Utility billing reports
• Fire inspection records.
Based on the findings from this audit, the business inventory will be refined and
finalized.
Task 7--Prepare Final Memorandum Report
Following the audit of the business inventory records, a Final Memorandum
Report will be prepared to summarize the results of the project. Short- and long-
term strategies for maintaining adequate records on business trends and activities
will likewise be identified.
As an optional approach for the City's consideration, Task 4 involving the field
inventory could be undertaken by temporary staff retained by the City. Under this
alternative, project consultants would develop the parameters for conducting the
field survey, train the data collectors on-site, and review all of their results. All
other study tasks noted previously (Tasks 1-3 and 5-7) would be undertaken by the
consultants as proposed in the basic workplan.

01 Project Timing And Cost
SECTION V
PROJECT TIMING
AND COST
Ralph Andersen & Associates is prepared to begin the City of Rosemead business
license study within two weeks of contract award. The total estimated time for
completion of the assignment is approximately two months. The total cost for
professional services, including 20 days of field time to document current business
activities, is $15,840. Additional field days will be billed at the Firm's standard
hourly billing rates.
If the second alternative for conducting the study is selected, costs for professional
services would amount to $8,290. This alternative assumes that the City would
retain temporary staff to physically identify businesses operating in the City.
Consultant staff would have responsibility for developing the parameters for
conducting the survey, training data collectors and reviewing all results.
The only other costs for which the City would be responsible would be reimburse-
ment of out-of-pocket expenses for such items as travel, printing, postage and
delivery, clerical and long-distance telephone charges. Ralph Andersen &
Associates will bill the City monthly for progress payment. Billings will relate to the
amount of work actually performed during the month and reimbursement of
expenses actually incurred. Payment will be due by the City upon receipt of the
monthly billing.
We have sought to estimate the project time and costs as realistically as possible.
However, if our workplan overlooks.any considerations which may be important
to the City, we would appreciate your bringing them to our attention. Likewise,
if our proposal creates practical or budgetary difficulties, we will be happy to
review our approach and make such revisions as may be appropriate.
