Dear Scott:
JLH Associates, as you know, assisted the Village in reviewing and
processing its Comprehensive Development Plan, as prepared by EMEC, Inc. ,
to meet the transmittal date (April 1, 1989) and requirements of the
Local Government Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulation Act.
At the time of that review, I expressed concerns to the •Village about
providing a substantive review of the Plan. In any event, it was JLH
Associates suggestion that the Village Council at least review the Goals,
Objectives and Policies contained within the proposed Plan prior to
transmittal. I think it was expressed by the Council that it expected
to receive comments from the State, but that they would deal with those
upon receipt from the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) .
This tact was taken to expedite the transmittal process, knowing full
well that additional work on the Plan was a likely and probable course
that the Village would have to undertake in the near future.
Because JLH Associates is already under contract with the Village for
planning and zoning consulting services and various special projects,
it would make sense to coordinate efforts with the comprehensive
planning program, as well. Therefore, I wish to request that the
Village consider JLH Associates for the rendering of services to assist
the Village Local Planning Agency (Village Council) in completing its
Comprehensive Development Plan. Since the degree and depth of the work
program is an unknown until the State' s review is received by the
Village, projections of time and work program details are undeterminable
at this time. However, I believe that this work program could be
accomplished under the existing contract between JLH Associates and the
Village of Tequesta.

JLH Associates has already made preliminary contacts with DCA to discuss
the possibility of being able to get additional time, if necessary, to
make proper responses to DCA comments, objections and suggestions when
they are received, due to the unique circumstance of a new consultant
coming in at the "eleventh hour" to assist the Village in finalizing
the Comprehensive Development Plan. 'Obviously, the new consultant will
have the task of educating himself to the proposed Plan as prepared by
another author, determine what direction to take at this point in time
based on the DCA response to the Plan, while trying to assist the
Village within an extremely tight time frame to complete the program.
Although DCA cannot authorize additional time between receipt of their
comments by the Village and the Adoption date, some additional time
scheduling and program scheduling could be accomplished with DCA after
the compliance review has been performed. i would be glad to discuss
these alternatives and their potential ramifications with Council at
their request.
I hope you will give positive consideration to JLH Associates to assist
the Village in the preparation of its Comprehensive Development Plan,
and I look forward to a continued working relationship with the Village
of Tequesta.

Attn: Mr. Scott D. Ladd
Building Official
Dear Mr. Ladd:
Thank you for taking the time yesterday to discuss the current
situation regarding the Village. Comprehensive Plan. Gee & Jenson
has had considerable experience in preparation of comprehensive
plans required by the 1985 Growth Management Act . We are
familiar with the rules of the Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) , the review and comment process and the requirements for
final adoption of comprehensive plans by local governments.
We would like very much to be of assistance to the Village of
Tequesta in completing necessary work which may be indicated by
DCA comments and the Village' s own needs prior to final adoption
of the ' comprehensive plan in August. It is our understanding
that the consultant you retained for preparation of the submitted
draft is no longer under contract with the Village.
• I would represent the firm in managing the project and offer my
prior experience in completing the entire comprehensive plans for
Satellite Beach . (Brevard County) and Highland Beach (Palm Beach
County) as well as current, on-going work on the Atlantic Beach
(Duval County) comprehensive plan, the Clewiston comprehensive
plan and the housing element for the Indian River County comprehensive
plan. The firm has also prepared the infrastructure element for
the City of West" Palm Beach and Master Plans for the Port of Palm
Beach and Port Canaveral in accordance with Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C.
Gee & Jenson is in a position to involve its personnel with
specialized experience required for the Traffic Circulation,
Coastal Management, Conservation and Water/Sewer/Drainage/Solid
Waste Elements. These personnel are located in our West Palm
Beach office and would be involved on an "as needed" basis should
comments from DCA necessitate responses for these elements of the
plan.

Attn: Mr. Scott D. Ladd
April 27 , 1989 -Page 2
In the absence of review comments by the Department of Community '
Affairs (DCA) , it would be difficult to identify a firm fee estimate
for services which may be required to bring the draft plan to the
point where it can be adopted and resubmitted to DCA.
It is my impression that agency has tended to relax its rigid
requirements following a contentious situation in Brevard County,
the only County where the County itself and all municipalities
opted for "early submittal". While my own review of your draft
enabled me to identify numerous items that would have served as
grounds for finding the plan "not in compliance" if the review
were to meet the standards applied in Brevard County; DCA may
have fewer comments today. Nevertheless, I believe the Village should
expect to devote staff time and financial resources during the
summer refining the comprehensive plan.
'Gee & Jenson offers to provide all technical services to the
Village in accordance with its needs and desires on a "time and
materials" basis. The hourly billing rate for my time (Senior
Planner) (probably representing at least two-thirds of all
billable hours) would be $75 per hour. Senior Engineers would be
billed at the same rate. A junior level Planner or Engineer
would be billed at $60 per hour, a Draftsman at $40 per hour and
a Secretary at $25 per hour. Very limited billing by an officer
or principal of the firm (rates higher than $75 per hour) is
anticipated.
Given the location of my home in the Town of Jupiter, I would
hope to schedule meetings with you and the Village Manager to
minimize travel expense (i.e. , beginning and end of working day) .
Furthermore, due to my civic interest as a resident of the
•
Tequesta-Jupiter area, I would probably not bill all of my time for
attendance at evening meetings at Village Hall.
Before closing, let me summarize my qualifications by noting that
I have a B.S. degree in Landscape Architecture and Planning from
• Penn State University. I have completed some advanced degree
courses in Urban Planning; and I have gained over 25 years
experience in urban planning including department director
positions for the cities .of Richmond, Virginia acid, Coral Springs,
Florida. •

NATIONAL PLANNING PARTNERSHIP
ORGANIZATION
The National Planning Partnership was formed to address two
issues affecting professional consulting. How does a user of
community planning and management services get a full range
of services from one firm without having to deal with the
personnel shuffle4that large firms frequently utilize? Their
top professionals show up for the interview, but one does not
see them again until its invoice paying time. The second
question presents itself to the professional planner and
manager. How can a professional compete for the big, complex
jobs without growing so large as to give up staying
personally involved, responsive and providing quality
service? .
The National Planning Partnership is a concept that attempts
to solve both problems. It brings together in an ongoing
relationship several small firms that wish to compete for
work opportunities large or small, but whose professionals
wish to stay personally involved, responsive, and provide
high quality service. The idea of several small firms
_ joining together to compete for jobs isn't new or unique to
National Planning Partnership. Indeed, it has become very
commonplace in recent years. That which distinguishes
National Planning Partnership is the long-term, ongoing
relationship among the professionals and firms. Ad hoc
joint ventures often leave the client with difficult
communication problems, deadlines missed, and incomplete
assignments. The National Planning Partnership prevents
those problems in the same way as does a large firm - with
central management, clear lines of authority, depth of
personnel, and high tech applications - while at the same
time the experienced professionals are working "hands-on"
with the client instead of managing a large firm.
Dr_ Richard Orman provides the central management function as
Managing Partner. The Partnership is served full-time by two
other professional planners whose resumes are provided below.
.Other firms and their roles with the partnership are
indicated in each proposal for professional engagement. Each
. firm participating in the Partnership is not always included
in a proposal. The combination of talent is carefully chosen
to meet the needs of a potential client.
