To obtain authorization to enter into an agreement with Global Data Solutions for contracted services 
BACKGROUND:
Over the past four years we have contracted with Global Data Solutions for the services of Roopa Anjanappa.  Ms. Anjanappa has been heavily involved with our ongoing Bicycle and Pedestrian plan and has been the project engineer on multiple successful bicycle improvement projects.  In addition, she has been very involved with the City's traffic modeling of various major changes to the City's traffic network.  Ms. Anjanappa continues to work as a consummate professional in tasks provided to her.

The addendum guarantees a pass thru to Ms. Anjanappa of the agreement with regards to her compensation and allows for a pass thru of mileage expenses.
 Throughout the life of the contract Global Date Solution will be compensated for Ms.  Anjanappa through various CIP accounts and Contracted Services account this includes but is not limited to the following:
