DATE: January 18, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sara Somogyi, Director of Recreation and Community Services
By: Alma Villasenor, Recreation Coordinator
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHLAND
SPORTS OFFICIALS TO PROVIDE BASKETBALL OFFICIATING
SERVICES FOR BASKETBALL LEAGUES FROM JANUARY 30, 2022,
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2022, AND FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 IN AN
AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,800
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Recreation and Community Services Department provides basketball leagues
requiring sports officiating services. In May 2021, the City Council approved a
Professional Services Agreement for Basketball Officiating Services with Breakthrough
Sports. The current agreement with Breakthrough Sports was terminated on December
3, 2021, because the contractor was unable to provide adequate officials for the
programs, failing to execute the Scope of Services in the agreement.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to
execute a Professional Services Agreement with Southland Sports Officials to provide
basketball officiating services for basketball leagues from January 30, 2022, through
June 30, 2022, and Fiscal Year 2022-23 in an amount not to exceed $50,800, including
an option for three one-year renewal periods thereafter with the City Manager’s
approval.
DISCUSSION
Each year, the Recreation and Community Services Department provides basketball
leagues requiring sports officiating services. In March 2021, staff sent out a Request for
Proposal for Basketball Officials to seek out competitive service providers. Two sports
official providers submitted qualified proposal by the deadline, which were Breakthrough
Sports and Southland Sports Officials. The review committee selected Breakthrough
Sports to receive the bid for officiating services. Unfortunately, Breakthrough Sports was
not able to fulfil the Scope of Services because they could not provide adequate officials

for the program. On December 3, 2021, a letter of termination was sent to Breakthrough
Sports. Southland Sports Officials is the next qualified vendor on the sports officials bid
list. Southland Sports Officials proposed officiating fee is $28 per game, which is $3
more than Breakthrough Sports.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed budget for Basketball Officiating Services from January 30, 2022, through
June 30, 2022, and Fiscal Year 2022-23 is $50,800. Registration fees are collected for
basketball leagues to offset the cost for officiating. The proposed General Fund budget
is sufficient to cover the cost of officials for the basketball leagues.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and authorize and direct the City
Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Southland Sports Officials
to provide basketball officiating services for basketball leagues from January 30, 2022,
through June 30, 2022, and Fiscal Year 2022-23 in an amount not to exceed $50,800,
including an option for three one-year renewal periods thereafter with the City
Manager’s approval.

responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered
Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend,
indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from
any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations
against Consultant or any subcontractor.
