BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Council previously adopted Resolution No. 94-26 (attached) authorizing the Public Works Directorand City Engineerto execute subdivision and parcel maps and accept dedications on parcel maps on behalf of the City. The resolution also authorized the Senior Civil Engineerto act in their place in their absence. The Subdivision Map Act (Sections 66442 and 66450) requires certification statements on final subdivision and parcel maps to be signed by the City Surveyor, City Engineer or other public official or employee qualified and authorized to act on their behalf. In addition, pursuantto the Professional Engineers' Act (Chapter 7, Division 3, commencing with Section 6700, of Division 3) only persons registered as a civil engineer prior to January 1, 1982, are qualified to sign the certification statements. The City has no City Surveyor and the City Engineer position is currently vacant. The current Public Works Director is a registered engineer in the State of California but received his license in 1984 It is, therefore, necessary to either authorize other current City staff holding the position of Senior Civil Engineer and registered as a civil engineer prior to January 1, 1982, to execute subdivision and parcel maps and accept dedications on parcel maps on behalf of the City or to contract this service with a private engineering firm. Staff recommendsthat the Council adopt the resolution as proposed. This resolutionwould supercede Resolution No. 94-26. FISCAL IMPACT FUNDING AVAILABLE: Allows current City staff to execute subdivision and parcel maps in lieu of contracting this service with a private engineering firm.
