AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 2 to the
Professional Services Agreement with Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, of Irvine, for
Municipal Advisory Services, Adding Continuing Disclosure Consulting Services for
All City Debt Issuances for a Total Not to Exceed Amount of $13,500 for the Added
Services
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2021
PREPARED BY: Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute amendment
No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Fieldman,
Rolapp & Associates, of Irvine, for Municipal Advisory Services,
extending the contract for two years, and adding Continuing Disclosure Consulting Services for all City
debt issuances for a total not to exceed amount of $13,500 for the added services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City has used Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates (FRA) as its
Municipal (Financial) Advisor since August 2017. The initial contract
with FRA had an expiration date of August 16, 2020, with an option
to extend for two years.
In August, 2020, the City exercised the optional two year extension of the contract. Included in the
amendment was the addition of Continuing Disclosure Consulting Services (CDCS). Continuing
Disclosure continues to increase in complexity as additional rules from multiple agencies are added each
year. The particular presentation of information is in ways unique to City staff and differs from typical
budget or CAFR presentations. Consequences of failure to disclosure properly or timely could have
impacts on the City's credit rating.
Due to the complexity of the Continuing Disclosure requirements and the initial set up of the reports, Staff
is requesting to increase the annual cost of the Professional Service Agreement by $2,500 in Fiscal Year
2021 and $1,000 in Fiscal Year 2022. The total of the PSA will not exceed $13,500 for the additional
term.
FISCAL IMPACT: Costs for Continuing Disclosure Consulting Services will be paid out of
existing Fiscal Year 2020/21 appropriations.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding for future services provided by FRA will be from respective bond
proceeds or paid out of benefitting funds based on approved budgets.

TO
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR MUNICIPAL ADVISOR
BY AND BETWEEN
THE CITY OF LODI
AND
FIELDMAN, ROLAPP & ASSOCIATES, INC.
MSRB Rule G-42 requires that municipal advisors provide to their clients disclosures relating to
all material conflicts of interest, including certain categories of potential conflicts of interest
identified in Rule G-42, if applicable. With respect to all aspects of the relationship between
Contractor and the City, Contractor adheres to its fiduciary duty to the City, which includes a
duty of loyalty to the City in performing all municipal advisory activities for the City. The duty
of loyalty obligates Contractor to deal honestly and with the utmost good faith with the City and
to act in the City's best interest without regard to any interest Contractor has or may have,
Contractor has a wide range of clients so our success and profitability are not dependent on
maximizing short-term revenue generated from individual recommendations to our clients but is
instead dependent on long-term profitability based on a foundation of integrity, quality and
adherence to our fiduciary duty, Furthermore, Contractor's supervisory structure provides strong
safeguards against individual representatives of Contractor violating their duty due to personal
interests,
Contractor makes the following representations to the City with regard to the Services;
A, Other than the compensation described in this Disclosure Statement, we have no other
interest, direct or indirect, that would interfere with or impair in any matter or degree the
performance of our obligations. During our work on the Services, we do not intend to
acquire or obtain any such interest, direct or indirect. If any such interest is acquired or
obtained, we will immediately advise the City.
B. We have not provided any gift or consideration to any officer, employee or agent of the
City to either obtain the Agreement or any assignment from the City, including the
Services. Neither our firm, nor its officers or employees will provide any such gift or
consideration to any officer, employee or agent of the City to influence decisions with
regard the Services or our obligations tinder the Agreement.
C. Our compensation for the Services is based on the size of the Project and is contingent
on the completion of the Project. While this form of compensation is customary in the
market for financial services to municipal entities, this may present conflict of interest as
we would have an incentive to recommend to the City the Project even if it is
unnecessary or provides insufficient benefit or advise the City to increase the size of the
Project. This potential conflict is mitigated by Consultant's fiduciary duty to the City.
Information Regarding Legal Events and Disciplinary Actions
MSRB Rule G-42 requires that municipal advisors provide their clients disclosures of legal or
disciplinary events material to the evaluation of the municipal advisor or the integrity of the
municipal advisor's management or advisory personnel. Contractor sets out required disclosures
and related information below;
A. There are no legal or disciplinary events material to the City's evaluation of Contractor or
the integrity of Contractor's management or advisory personnel disclosed, or that should
be disclosed, on any Form MA or Form MA -I with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").
