Eureka city staff are asking the City Council to approve a professional services agreement with Placeworks worth up to $274,000 for housing and safety element updates and related CEQA review, according to the council’s June 2 agenda.

The agenda summary says the consultant would handle work tied to the city’s housing and safety planning updates, including the 2027-2035 Housing Element Update and Safety Element Update. It also identifies Placeworks as the recommended selected proposer for the request for proposals referenced in the item.

The same June 2 agenda lists the contract among several other operational and spending items on the consent calendar, including emergency radio system repairs, a bid rejection for Elk River Wastewater Treatment Plant cogeneration upgrades, and a contract award for the Lundbar Hills Backup Generator Project.

The agenda summary does not show whether the council approved the Placeworks contract or whether the scope, schedule or funding source changed before the meeting.
