RESOLUTION

     To extend the Contract for City Manager Services with The Robert Bobb Group


        WHEREAS by resolution (#R-21-184) dated December 20, 2021, City Council awarded
a contract to The Robert Bobb Group, for the provision of city manager services (“Contract”)
through June 30, 2022; and

       WHEREAS pursuant to a consensus to give priority to recruitment of a chief of police,
City Council voted on June 6, 2022 to adopt a resolution (#R-22-071) extending the time for
performance of the Contract through December 31, 2022; and

        WHEREAS the police chief recruitment process is underway, but will not be completed
in time to allow Council a reasonable time to conduct a thorough executive recruitment process
for a permanent city manager; and

       WHEREAS attempting to change the designated city manager, either by direct
appointment or by competitive recruitment of a contract with a firm, would be detrimental to the
City organization and those selection processes, in and of themselves, might not be able to be
completed by City Council within the next few months; therefore, The Robert Bobb Group is the
only source practicably available for these services; and

        WHEREAS it is in the best interests of the public, the City Council, and the City
government that the contract with The Robert Bobb Group be extended for an additional period
of time, as permitted by Virginia Code §2.2-4309, to allow the Robert Bobb Group to complete
its work for stabilization of the City government and creating an environment that will enhance
the City’s ability to recruit a new permanent city manager; now, therefore,

        BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Charlottesville, Virginia, that the
January 6, 2022 contract for City Manager Services entered into between the City Council for the
City of Charlottesville and The Robert Bobb Group (“Contract”), is hereby amended and re-
enacted with the following amendment:

Section 2 (Time for Performance)

   (A) RBG shall commence performance of Services effective as of the date this Contract is
       executed by City Council, and shall continue its performance through December 31 2022
       December 31, 2023, or the date as of which a permanent city manager appointed by
       City Council commences employment, whichever first occurs (“Term”).

All terms and conditions of said Contract shall be and remain in effect throughout the extended
term of the Contract.

       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, on behalf of City Council, the Mayor is hereby
authorized to sign an instrument reflecting this contract amendment, and the City Attorney shall
prepare said instrument for signature of the Mayor and The Robert Bobb Group.
