Article II SCOPE OF SERVICES #3 Development Oversight Provide administrative oversight for development projects; Conduct periodic field inspections related to compliance with zoning and planning ordinances; and Post physical notices and perform other required public engagement tasks AND Article VI INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR CLAUSE SCPDC is an independent contractor and shall not be deemed an employee or agent of the City for any purpose. SCPDC shall be solely responsible for compensation of its personnel and for any taxes, benefits, or insurance relating to such employment. Legal opinion was requested on the following: Whether said omissions in 2026 Professional Services Agreement changes South Centrals legal relationship with the City. Whether the omissions create additional liability or exposure for the City for actions taken by South Central Planning & Development, or its personnel. Whether the 2026 agreement should be amended or replaced to restore the omitted provisions or cancelled altogether. Whether any actions taken by South Central under the 2026 agreement should be reviewed to determine whether they were within the authority granted by the City. Whether the 2026 SCPDC Agreement in the amount of $139,725.00, which is a 3.5% increase is erroneous as the City of Gonzales 2026-2027 BUDGET itemizes SCPDC contract for the 2026 fiscal year at $135,000.00. There was no pro-rata pay increase due to contract dates.
