8/9/2019 Investigative Report on City of Carmel-By-The-Sea Contracts
2/22
ackground to Contracts Review
In Fall 2014, I was asked to review and report on a number o City agreements with the
following contractors: Public Consulting Group, Mark Alcock, Boots Road, Davies
Communications, Blaze Public Relations, and Richard Tavener.
The scope o my review was limited to the dollar value o each contract, the amount
paid by the City, and whether the City received a deliverable (service or product). My
report does not assess the value of the deliverables either in quality or quantity.
The review process included an initial 3 hour meeting with Caroli
na
Bayne and Carolyn
Hardy when I received copies
o
relevant documents (contracts, staff reports, invoices,
purchase orders, checks) as well as the initial financial spreadsheet prepared by
Carolyn Hardy.
In
addition, I conducted 15 interviews with current and former City officials/ employees
and citizens. I also interviewed three
o
the contractors to clarify billing information
submitted in their invoices.
I have prepared a separate report for each
o
the contractors, with the exception
o
the
combined report for Davies Communication and Blaze Public Relations.
I would like to thank Carolina Bayne and Carolyn Hardy for their good work and
generosity in sharing their time and the information they gathered. My task was
significantly assisted by their efforts
in
compiling the key documents and
in
meeting
with me to share those documents and their knowledge .
In
particular,
Ms
Hardy spent
countless hours reviewing invoices, purchase orders, and checks to compile detailed
spreadsheets itemizing each invoice received from the contractors and each City
payment. Those spreadsheets provided an essential foundation for my work, and by
saving me time, saved money for the City.

19/22
those receipts, $2650 is shown as Administrative Services which Tavenor
has invoiced for his own time working on the two events. This investigator
has disallowed this expense for two reasons: (1) the purpose of Advanced
Costs was to pay for third party vendors such as hotels, flights,
restaurants, and additional staff needed for the events; and (2) under the
agreement Tavener was paid for his time working on these events.
Deliverables
Tavener's invoices for this contract specify numerous meetings with
various members
of
local businesses and organizations including the
Monterey Bay Aquarium (idea to incorporate corporate workshops into
Whales to Windmills video), Bach Festival (proposed Mind and Music
workshop series), Carmel Unified School District (proposed Teacher
Summer Camp) and an online web presence for Wonderspace Carmel.
According to Tavener, this first contract resulted in one community
workshop and the Brainworks and Dot Day events, all of which occured in
the week
of
January 5-12, 2014.
Tavener provided a workshop at the City Council chambers on
January 7 2014.
Tavener organized the first meeting
of
Brainworks on January 9-11,
2014,
t
the La Playa Hotel beginning with a reception
on
Thursday,
January
9
and a one-day workshop at La Playa Hotel. The reception was
attended by 25-30 people. The goal
of
the workshop was to discuss how
to get
an
institute or think tank ( Wonderspace ) started
in
Carmel. The
workshop involved twelve (12) professionals invited by Contractor from
around North America (Boston, Washington, DC, Arizona, Toronto) who
represented various disciplines such as engineering, neuroscience,
multiple learning platforms, creative platforms, and consciousness. The
workshop was not open to the public. There was one Carmel
organization, the Bach Festival, represented by its Director, Debbie Chinn,
who reports that her organization developed valuable relationships and
networks. Throughout the day teams made up
of
the various participants
met with each other to share their vision.
2
8/9/2019 Investigative Report on City of Carmel-By-The-Sea Contracts
20/22
Tavener did not prepare a report on this event. He believes that the
City received the ability to form a think tank, made connections with
participants who are top
of
their fields, and connected groups together.
Tavener also organized Dot Day event at Sunset Center from 5-7
p.m. on Friday, January 10, 2014. The unticketed event featured art from
grammar school students
t
Tularcitos School (attended by Tavener's
daughter) and All Saints Day School to display the creativity, imagination
and innovation in schools. According to Tavener, Dot Day is an
international event with 3 million worldwide contacts, and in 2014 Carmel
had a presence in that effort. The Sunset Center event records estimate
around 150-200 attendees, mostly families
of
the students. The catering
was planned for 250 youngsters and cost $2320. There is no written
report on this event.
Tavener does not have a report showing whether the contract tasks
have been met. He says that he did not recruit a board
of
directors, did
not seek larger, long term funding from legacy contributors, and did not
determine a non-profit oversight entity.
