Management
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City of Glendora is seeking a vendor that can provide a turnkey false alarm billing and management system under the provisions of the City’s ordinance to include tracking of alarm permits, assessing and collecting false alarm service fees, and collecting delinquent accounts.
The City is interested in a vendor that can provide these services to the City with no upfront costs or financial risk on the part of the City. The City envisions that the successful vendor will retain a certain percentage of all false alarm-related revenue collected and remit the remaining percentage of all permit and false alarm-related revenue collected to the City.
The overall objective of the City is to obtain the services of a false alarm contractor handling alarm registrations, tracking and billing. The responsibilities below describe the City’s general expectations and anticipated work to be performed. The City encourages all vendors to include in their proposal any services they recommend in order to achieve those objectives that are not specifically requested herein.
The purpose of this Scope of Services is to describe the duties and responsibilities of the vendor, and the City of Glendora.
CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES
1. At the beginning of the project, electronic conversion/import to the vendor’s computer server(s) of the any City alarm program records required to support Contractor Services.
These records may contain any historical City alarm business alarm system locations, responsible party and other alarm data previously developed by or for the City of Glendora.
The vendor shall extract this data from over 13,000 electronic-based permits.
2. The vendor shall be responsible for working with the alarm companies to ensure that alarm permits are acquired for existing and new alarm holders.
3.

This website may be linked by the City to the City website if desired.
4. Register, renew and bill the registration of alarm systems in accordance with the Ordinance. Registrations and renewals may be processed by the mail, email, telephone and/or online. Notice related to registration and renewal may be sent by email or mail based on the alarm user contract information.

(f) Subcontractors. Contractor shall include all subcontractors as insureds under its policies or shall furnish separate certificates and certified endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverages for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
5.2 General Insurance Requirements.
All of the above policies of insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name the City, elected and appointed officers, employees and agents as additional insureds and any insurance maintained by City or officers, employees or agents may apply in excess of, and not contribute with Contractor’s insurance. The insurer is deemed hereof to waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City, officers, employees and agents and their respective insurers. The insurance policy must specify that where the primary insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-insured retention. All of said policies of insurance shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or cancelled by the insurer or any party hereto without providing thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail return receipt requested to the City. In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled, the Contractor shall, 20 prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance in conformance with this Section 5.1 to the Project Manager. No work or services under this Agreement shall commence until the Contractor has provided the City with Certificates of Insurance, additional insured endorsement forms or appropriate insurance binders evidencing the above insurance coverages and said Certificates of Insurance or binders are approved by the City. City reserves the right to inspect complete, certified copies of and endorsement to all required insurance policies at any time. Any failure to comply with the reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches or warranties shall not affect coverage provided to City.
The insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the City’s Risk Manager or other designee of the City due to unique circumstances.
5.3 Indemnification. To the full extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Contractor is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith:
Contractor will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith;
Contractor will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Contractor hereunder; and Contractor agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom;
In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Contractor for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Contractor hereunder, Contractor agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorney’s fees.
Contractor shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any 21 negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Contractor in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Since taking over management of the False Alarm Program in August 2021, PM AM Corporation has delivered measurable improvements and established a high-impact partnership with the City of Glendora. Key accomplishments include:
• Significant Reduction in False Alarm Calls: PM AM has reduced false alarm incidents by 17%—from 1,004 in calendar year 2022 to 834 in calendar year 2024. This decline has saved Glendora approximately $46,000 in avoided response costs through December 2024, while improving officer readiness and operational efficiency. Further reductions in 2025 are expected to yield additional savings. • Strong Revenue Collection and Program Sustainability: Collection rates improved from 75% in Year 1 to 84% by the end of 2024. Total gross revenue through December 2024 exceeded $353,000, reflecting balanced enforcement, effective customer engagement, and sustainable program performance. Additional revenue was also generated in 2025 as the program continued to perform effectively.
• Improved Operational Efficiency and Reduced Administrative Burden:
By automating permitting, billing, and outreach through the FAMS™ platform, PM AM enabled Glendora staff to focus on higher-priority initiatives with a leaner administrative workload.

PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 4 Please be informed that the present proposal, offering the requested services on behalf of the City of Glendora, includes specific proprietary and confidential information belonging to PM AM Corporation. This information is being shared in utmost confidence, with the sole intention of enabling the City of Glendora, along with its authorized employees, counsel, and representatives, to carefully assess and evaluate our proposal's suitability for acceptance.
In the event that the City of Glendora receives a request from a third party under the relevant open records act, freedom of information act, or similar statute or ordinance, seeking a copy of our proposal, we sincerely ask that the City abstains from disclosing it. Instead, we urge the City to promptly notify PM AM Corporation, about the request. This will enable us to respond appropriately and in a timely manner to such disclosure with the appropriate authority.
Consequently, the authority can then assess whether our proposal, in its entirety or in part (with redactions, if necessary), should be disclosed to the requesting party.
Regarding this matter, we wish to highlight that PM AM has acquired opinions from a State's Attorney General. These opinions affirm that the disclosure of specific proprietary information, akin to the proprietary information presented in the following Proposal, is exempt from disclosure under Section 552.104(a) of the Texas Government Code. The exemption is based on the circumstances of those cases, as revealing such information would provide a competitive advantage to a competitor of PM AM.
Thank you for your consideration of our proposal.

Evolution of a Successful Partnership
Overview
PM AM Corporation (PM AM) is proud to highlight our trusted partnership with the City of Glendora since August 2021 in administering the City's False Alarm Program. Over the past several years, this collaboration has produced measurable outcomes in reducing false alarms, streamlining administrative processes, and enhancing community satisfaction.
The City of Glendora has directly benefited from PM AM’s national expertise, robust technology platform (FAMS™), and our long-standing strategy of incremental innovation—delivering continuous improvements in service delivery, transparency, and responsiveness. Today, PM AM supports over 150 jurisdictions across North America, making us the industry’s leading provider of false alarm management services.
Our dedicated team—including specialists in software development, data integration, customer service, and public safety operations—has worked closely with Glendora stakeholders to adapt and evolve the program for local needs. Whether through improved reporting, real-time dashboards, or customer self-service portals, PM AM has delivered solutions that reduce administrative workload while improving public safety outcomes.
PM AM has delivered measurable improvements across multiple key performance areas:
1. Reducing False Alarm Service Calls
Since taking over Glendora’s False Alarm Program in August 2021, PM AM has implemented targeted education, automated notifications, and optimized enforcement practices that have resulted in a 17% reduction in false alarm incidents through December 2024— from 1,004 false alarms in Year 1 to 834 in the most recent full-year period. This significant reduction has translated into fewer unnecessary dispatches, improved police Executive Summary
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 8 readiness, and cost savings estimated at around $46,000 in avoided response effort through the end of 2024. Additional savings are expected to have occurred in 2025 as false alarm reductions have continued.
2. Maintaining Strong Collections and Program Sustainability Despite fluctuations in billing volume, PM AM has maintained consistently strong revenue collection rates for Glendora. From 75% collection efficiency in Year 1, the City saw a steady increase to 84% by the end of December 2024, reflecting PM AM’s effective account management, resident communication, and follow-up procedures. Total gross revenue generated through December 2024 exceeded $353,000, balancing enforcement and customer support to ensure long-term program health. Additional revenue has been generated in 2025 as the program continues to perform strongly.
3. Improving Program Efficiency and Reducing Administrative Burden By automating permitting, billing, and citizen engagement processes through the FAMS platform, PM AM has significantly reduced the City’s administrative workload, enabling staff to focus on higher-priority public safety initiatives.
4. Streamlined Access to CAD Data from Glendora
PM AM receives alarm incident data files from the City’s CAD system on a weekly basis. Since no pre-analysis or complex data understanding is required, we can begin processing the data from day 1. This approach ensures incidents are not missed or delayed, supporting timely billing, accurate reporting, and improved ordinance enforcement.
5. Enhancing the Customer Experience for Residents and Businesses Our user-friendly web portals, multilingual customer service team, and proactive outreach initiatives have transformed the resident experience. The number of billing disputes and manual adjustments has decreased notably, reflecting smoother engagement and improved satisfaction.
6. Enabling Data-Driven Oversight and Transparency
PM AM has provided Glendora with real-time dashboards, monthly closing statements, and robust analytics that support better decision-making and ensure full program transparency and compliance.
Reduction in False Alarms
PM AM Corporation has effectively addressed the persistent challenge of reducing costly false alarms that require police response. Since assuming management of Glendora’s False Alarm Program in 2021, PM AM has implemented a series of targeted strategies that have consistently driven down the number of false alarms across the City.
Executive Summary
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 9 In calendar year 2022, the City of Glendora recorded 1,004 false alarms. By the end of calendar year 2024, that number had dropped to just 834 false alarms, representing a 17% reduction over this period. This steady decline has translated into enhanced operational efficiency, smarter resource allocation, and improved officer safety.
The significance of this reduction extends beyond logistics. Using the industry-standard estimate of $120 per false alarm response, Glendora has realized an estimated cost recovery of around $46,000 through December 2024. These savings factor in essential operational costs such as officer salary and benefits, administrative time, vehicle usage and depreciation, dispatch coordination, and equipment wear and tear. Additional savings are expected to be realized in 2025 as false alarm incidents continued to decline.
Beyond the direct cost savings, the benefits of reduced false alarms touch on critical aspects of community well-being and law enforcement readiness:
• Improved public safety due to faster availability of officers for real emergencies • Reduced workload for emergency dispatchers and administrative staff • Lower stress and disruption for responding officers
• A more balanced financial burden on residents and businesses The marked decrease in false alarm incidents is a clear reflection of the effectiveness of PM AM’s proactive enforcement, automation tools, and educational outreach. It also underscores the City of Glendora’s commitment to optimizing public safety resources and enhancing service to the community.
Executive Summary
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 10 National statistics show that over 97% of alarm calls are false, with each false dispatch consuming approximately 25 minutes of valuable police response time. In the City of Glendora, PM AM’s strategic management of the False Alarm Program has led to the elimination of 170 unnecessary alarm dispatches between calendar years 2022 and 2024, translating to a total of approximately 4,250 minutes—or over 70 hours—of saved police response time. Even greater time savings are anticipated as the program continues into 2025.
By cutting back on avoidable dispatches, PM AM’s FAMS™ platform has significantly improved Glendora’s operational efficiency. These hours saved mean officers are more readily available for true emergencies, enhancing community safety while also reducing stress, fuel use, and equipment wear.
This achievement underscores the City’s success in implementing a data-driven, cost-effective, and citizen-friendly alarm management solution that aligns with broader law enforcement performance goals and public service priorities.
Our solution helps enforce alarm ordinances, leading to reduced false alarms. It covers billing, mailings, false alarm processing, coordination with alarm companies, hearing and appeals support, reporting, and more, meeting all the requirements of the City of Glendora’ alarm ordinance.
Excessive false alarms in many U.S. cities and counties drain law enforcement resources and waste taxpayer dollars if left unchecked.

The cities that partner with PM AM to manage their alarm programs have seen a significant yearly decrease in false alarm calls. This reduction improves efficiency, promotes proper alarm system use, and encourages alarm companies and users to maintain reliability, reducing false alarm dispatches.
False alarm reduction is a key focus for PM AM's partner cities so PM AM provides resources, including manpower and education, to work with repeat offenders. While progress may be slow initially, consistent outreach over 12 to 18 months helps violators address false alarm issues.
Additionally ongoing support is provided throughout the program. More details can be found in the "False Alarm Reduction Processes" section of this RFP.
Below are a few examples of cities and counties that, through our consistent outreach engagement model, have achieved significant reductions in false alarms — a common priority for our partner cities.

Higher Collection Rates: PM AM targets up to 85%+ collection rates and in most cases, it is successful in collecting 90% plus. This higher collection rate is attributed to a workflow that is proprietary to PM AM. These sophisticated collection methods that analyze the payment trends and the preferred payment platforms used by the citizens to make payments help PM AM’s CSR’s in outreach to citizens with unpaid invoices. We have compared these proprietary workflow outreach methods with the typical conventional outreach efforts of others and our findings are that our collection rates are 10% to 12% higher using the proprietary workflow.
FAMSTM | Revenue Growth: In almost 100% of cases, PM AM achieves increased baseline revenue when it takes charge of a city’s alarm program. While it grows baseline revenue, PM AM always faces the hurdle of reduced false alarms, which results in reduced billing and collections for Executive Summary

PM AM deploys multiple time-proven internal processes to identify non-compliant businesses/residents in an engagement strategy that almost always results in higher compliance (permitting), driving baseline revenue to grow substantially for our partner cities. These strategies are discussed in detail in later parts of this RFP response.
PM AM has been able to increase the revenue for the cities in spite of the fact that there has been a consistent reduction in false alarms. PM AM has efficient collection rates in the 90% range that have significantly helped cities that have had poor collection rates previously.
Below the examples illustrate where unique FAMS techniques resulted in higher revenue growth.
In some cases, PM AM’s initial share is “paid for” by this increase in revenue, making PM AM services free from the second year onward.
City - Personnel involvement: The FAMS portal allows easy access for all stakeholders, supported by CSRs in Dallas and Houston. This integration of technology and human support boosts customer satisfaction and reduces the time cities spend on alarm management.

PM AM has made significant investments in strategic planning, infrastructure, and technology to establish state-of-the-art customer care centers in both Dallas, TX and Houston, TX. Our call support network is intelligently engineered to allow for seamless call redirection between the two locations. This robust setup ensures continuous, uninterrupted service to our partner cities, even during unexpected disruptions or emergencies.
Example: Hurricane Harvey – August 28 to September 1, 2017 During Hurricane Harvey, the City of Houston experienced severe flooding and torrential rains. In response, the Mayor’s Office declared a closure of all City administrative offices. Simultaneously, PM AM’s Houston support office was also closed due to flooding in the building.
Despite these challenges, PM AM’s cloud-based phone system was reconfigured within 30 minutes to seamlessly re-route all inbound calls from Houston to our Dallas support center. This ensured that even while City offices were closed, Houston citizens could still speak with PM AM Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) regarding their alarm-related inquiries.
PM AM is unique in the industry for offering an after-hours voicemail option. Callers can leave a message outside of normal business hours, and under PM AM’s standard Service Level Agreement (SLA), these messages are returned the next business day.
By contrast, other vendors managing alarm programs do not provide voicemail capabilities after hours. Their callers are simply instructed to call back during regular business hours, leading to missed opportunities and potential frustration for citizens PM AM Advantages
PM AM’s strength lies in its dedication to “incremental innovation”, practiced on a continuous basis. Each year, PM AM identifies two to three key areas for targeted innovation and modernization and allocates a dedicated R&D budget to advance these goals—ensuring our partner cities benefit from a solution that remains modern and forward-thinking.

These bots quickly answer frequently asked questions, guide users through the permit and appeals processes, and help with common ordinance-related inquiries, reducing call volumes and enhancing citizen satisfaction.
• Automation & RPA (2023): Robotic Process Automation (RPA) was implemented to handle complex, repetitive tasks—such as data processing, violation workflows, and notification generation—in minutes. This boosts speed, accuracy, and consistency, reduces human error, and frees up staff to focus on more valuable tasks. • VAI – Conversational Intelligence (2024): Our proprietary AI platform, VAI, elevates agent performance through real-time conversation guidance, post-call coaching, and AI-driven quality checks. It ensures agents are equipped with in-depth ordinance knowledge, improving their interactions with citizens, enhancing compliance, and driving better collection outcomes.
• Secure Access with Azure AD Single Sign-On (2025): FAMS™ now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through Microsoft Azure Active Directory, enabling City staff to access the system securely using their existing credentials.

Since 2004, PM AM has been a trusted provider of false alarm management services, partnering with municipalities across the country to deliver reliable, result-driven solutions.
Qualifications and
Experiences
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 42 In 2009, the City of Houston transitioned its Burglar Alarm Administration Services from EDS to PM AM Corporation.
From the outset, this strategic shift delivered immediate efficiencies, including a notable reduction in the need for City administrative staff and contracted personnel.
Since then, PM AM has consistently driven year-over-year improvements through innovative, compliancefocused strategies. These efforts have increased alarm permit issuance and renewals, improved fine
collections, and significantly enhanced overall program performance.
Substantial Revenue Growth and Expanded Program Impact
At the start of PM AM’s administration, the program generated approximately $6.4 million annually. By 2022, that figure had grown to $11.1 million—a 73% increase—in thanks to targeted outreach, automated compliance workflows, and data-driven revenue optimization. Importantly, this growth was achieved even as false alarms declined, demonstrating the effectiveness of PM AM’s approach.
Today, PM AM supports over 150 jurisdictions nationwide, including 39 in Texas, growing from just 16 clients in 2009. This expansion underscores the scalability and reliability of PM AM’s solutions across diverse municipalities.
False Alarm Reduction and Citywide Cost Savings
A key outcome of the program has been a 31% reduction in false alarms—from 73,107 incidents in 2010 to 50,671 in 2022. With each false alarm costing the City roughly $120, this reduction has saved Houston an estimated $12.8 million. Beyond financial impact, these savings translate into improved public safety by allowing law enforcement to focus on actual emergencies.

Since 2008, PM AM has had the pleasure of working with four different city Project Mangers. We have made on-site
visits with each person and worked to create relationships with each individual.
PM AM assisted Oakland in implementing their new alarm
ordinance in 2009. Oakland’s goal for the new ordinance was to reduce the number of false alarms, increase the
number of paid alarm permit holders and reduce the
amount of administrative time spent operating their alarm program.
The numbers speak for themselves. Permit holders have
more than doubled, from under 13,000 in 2009- 2010 to more than 26,000 today. The number of alarms has continued to fall from a high of 24,000 in 2009 – 2010 to under 15,000 today.
Additional assistance provided to the City of Oakland by PM AM includes:
• Onsite training provided to the Alarm Program Manager on alarm equipment and its operation.
• Consultations on alarm response issues as well as answers to ordinance questions are immediately provided when requested by the Alarm Program Manager. • Continually updating the Alarm Program Manager on major changes in the alarm industry and technological advancements.
• The Oakland School District has taken advantage of PMAM technology. • The Oakland Alarm Program Manager has requested our expertise in drafting new revisions to the present alarm ordinance. As such PM AM will leverage our vast knowledge of alarm ordinance best practices and administrative experience to assist the city in the development of the alarm ordinance.

After a comprehensive review of Glendora’s false alarm management services and objectives, PM AM affirms its full understanding of and compliance with the overall scope of the project. In alignment with the City's request, PM AM has highlighted in green any areas where it offers enhanced or additional services beyond those outlined in the Scope of Services.
Glendora Scope of Services
Requirement Response
The City of Glendora is seeking a vendor
that can provide a turnkey false alarm
billing and management system under the
provisions of the City’s ordinance to
include tracking of alarm permits,
assessing and collecting false alarm
service fees, and collecting delinquent
accounts.
The City is interested in a vendor that can
provide these services to the City with no
upfront costs or financial risk on the part
of the City. The City envisions that the
successful vendor will retain a certain
percentage of all false alarm-related
revenue collected and remit the remaining
percentage of all permit and false alarmrelated revenue collected to the City.
The overall objective of the City is to
obtain the services of a false alarm
contractor handling alarm registrations,
tracking and billing. The responsibilities
below describe the City’s general
expectations and anticipated work to be
performed. The City encourages all
vendors to include in their proposal any

Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 53 Proposed Approach
PM AM’s proposed approach for the continued operation of the City of Glendora’s False Alarm Program centers around the following five pillars:
Stability and Continuity
• PM AM will continue to operate the existing FAMS™ platform with no disruption or transition period required.
• All implementation to Glendora’s CAD, payment, and communications systems are already functional and supported.
Responsiveness and Customer Focus
• Citizens and alarm companies will continue to have access to bilingual support through our dedicated contact center.

The following narrative outlines our current operational approach, our commitment to continuous improvement, and how we will build upon the strong foundation already in place.
The main highlights of these services are provided here under, a more descriptive process is outlined immediately after this synopsis. This cloud-based software solution meets all the specifications of the ordinance, and it has functions and features better geared to meet any future requirements that the ordinance may present should it undergo any changes to incorporate more stringent ordinance provisions.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 54 For the past 20 years, PM AM has managed 150+ city ordinances, offering a comprehensive set of reports, customized letters, invoices, and account histories tailored by consultation with each city.
Ordinance-specific business rules, such as hearings, appeals, receivables, and management reports, are developed, showcased, and deployed based on each city's needs.
PM AM’s entire FAMS platform is secured and made available to the city and its designated employees for searches. All the searches are online in real time, and are role based. Permits and other information can be searched through different criteria like name, address, phone numbers, even partial searches are allowed and will display the best matches to quickly locate permits.
PM AM FAMS platform is highly secure, it has never been compromised in 20+ years and PM AM does not share any information with the outside vendors.
The Pricing section describes the revenue split and beyond the price provided in the pricing section no other charges are required to be paid by the city to PM AM for the maintenance and support.
As provided in this response, Citizens are given several options to carry out the functions of permitting and payments on platforms that are available 24/7 with the exception of phone calls that are available during regular business hours.
FAMS is a cloud-based solution therefore there is no hardware and peripherals that are required to be maintained by the city, PM AM maintains 2 call centers that are redundant and in the event one center goes down due to natural or man-made disasters all the calls can be transferred to the second call center. PM AM witnessed this situation during a hurricane when our Houston call center was impacted however all call center operations were transitioned to the Dallas call center within 30 minutes.
PM AM places special importance on training and investing substantial dollars in its employees, all our staff goes through a rigorous hiring process that includes drug & background screenings and I9 verification.
Customer Service
PM AM has a dedicated staff of customer success representatives, our trained staff respond to customer phone calls through a dedicated toll-free number in real time and emails on the same day, emails that are received late are responded to the next day, over 99% of the time.

The efficiencies in all department's result in 95% plus single called resolution being achieved for the City’s citizens whereas the industry average is under 60% for first call resolution.
FAMS enhances citizen care with a 24/7 self-service portal accessible via the City's website. Citizens can apply for permits, pay fees, update contact info in real-time, and access video tutorials for easy navigation. The portal also offers educational content and a false alarm academy with best practices to reduce false alarms.
Additional tools and access points like Mobile Apps, Live Chat, Chat bots and FAMS integrations with Facebook Messenger provide more platforms and avenues for citizens to carry out their alarm ordinance responsibilities effortlessly within their timetable.
Permitting
PM AM’s False Alarm Management Solution (FAMS) supports the permitting process for citizens choosing to register their permit, we maintain the permit status throughout the age of the permit along with any annual updates like Contacts etc. as well as built-in innovative processes to identify non-compliant locations:
• Identify and engage locations with False alarms that are not registered • Engage with alarm companies to identify non-permitted locations based on the alarm company’s subscriber listings
• Verifying each permit holder’s address is within the city’s jurisdiction by utilizing up to date GIS files
Permit information is kept up to date throughout the contract and can be searched by; • Permit Holder name
• Key Holder information
• Phone numbers
• Billing address if different from permitted address
• Email addresses of all contacts
FAMS has implemented a built-in function to validate the permit address with City’s GIS in real time whether a permit is applied for online, if it is received by a paper form at the lock box, or if it is being entered by our data entry specialist.
FAMS provides multiple ways for your citizens to apply for a permit:
• Traditional mail-in application process
• Interactive self-service web portal application
• iPhone and Android app, chat bot and Facebook messenger to apply for a permit Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 56 The processes are already implemented for the city and no assistance is required from the city to manage this process.
FAMS can interface with various CAD systems to transfer permit details. We've successfully integrated with systems such as Central Square’s One Solution for Midland, TX, and Suffolk, VA, and Motorola’s PremierOne CAD for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department, FL, as well as Northrop Grumman CAD for the City of Houston in the past.
Alarm Tracking, Billing and Accounting
FAMS can be set up to import the City of Glendora’ alarm incidents from the City’s CAD and generate notifications and invoices as required by the ordinance.
FAMS includes integrated billing and accounting software. Unlike working with external accounting applications like Quick Books, all billing, collections, account receivables are a part of the FAMS™ solution. The invoices are generated and sent on the City’s letterhead with the proper remittance information for the lockbox, this section of the invoice can be simply detached by the permit holder and sent along with the payment.
The software deployed to the City is equipped with the necessary checks and balances to reconcile all the permit and false alarm data that has been invoiced, payments that are received, refunds that are issued, and any adjustments there are carried out in FAMS.
A detailed Month-end accounting statement is sent out to the City every month that selfreconciles to the previous month’s balances and provides a transaction level detail along with the summary for all the new accounting activities that took place in the current month.
PM AM maintains SOC-1 audits, which ensures full transparency, so all necessary documentation is available for city audits. Online payments are routed through PCI-compliant payment gateways for security as well. These certifications result from PM AM's processes, which reconcile accounts daily, weekly, and monthly, providing fully reconciled statements to the city.
Collections
PM AM allows citizens to make payment by check as well as through the online portal. PM AM sends three reminders after 30, 60, and 90 days for outstanding invoices along with followup telephone calls and conducts skip tracing on delinquent accounts. PM AM continuously engages with account holders to recover outstanding balance beyond 180 days. PM AM follows prescribed ethical methods for the collection process.
PM AM has established a good workflow for the collection services, however, should the City desire to engage a third-party collection agency, PM AM is willing to integrate the data exchange and cooperate to work with the third-party collection agency at no extra cost.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 57 Please keep in mind that any collections made by a third-party, PM AM will still receive it’s share of those revenues collected.
As such, City personnel are provided with online real-time access to view all account statuses at any time. This integrated approach saves time and money and improves data accuracy since all the information is integrated as part of one system.
PM AM follows up with a process to make direct calls to citizens/companies late in making payments.
Also, PM AM has introduced a detailed return mail handling process:
1. We collect all return mails from PO Box daily.
2. Then we scan all collected return mails in the OPEX System as “Return Mail” instead of as “Daily Mail”.
3. After scanning is done, our internal automated process identifies the associated City and Permit using the scanned remittance slip.
4. Lastly, we tag all the identified permits as “Stop Correspondence”, to avoid sending mails to those permit addresses again.
Should the city desire, PM AM works with the city appointed 3rd party for unpaid fees.
Reporting
The City of Glendora will have complete insight into all functions of the False Alarm Management Services on a real-time basis through various reports, ad-hoc queries, and drillable dashboards. This includes reports on unpaid aging accounts 30, 60, 90, 120 days and beyond. FAMS has more than 100 reports that can be generated based on variable parameters. Most of these reports can be exported in PDF or Microsoft Excel formats.
Such reports are very helpful for the City of Glendora Police, Finance, and other officials to review the progress of the program. PM AM believes that these types of applications need to be supported by a cloud-based solution with SSL Certificates, providing the best in encryption and security. All information is provided in a readily available form; this is in addition to any need City staff may have to engage PM AM’s award-winning support staff like Kevin or Michael. All reports are available to the City’s staff as requested.
Citizen Education
PM AM offers several features like a proprietary phone app with Push notifications, online academy, bill inserts, high violator’s identification, etc. at no additional cost to City of Glendora which helps in engaging citizens and provides them important information to reduce false alarms and increase ordinance compliance. PM AM is currently working on building a texting engine to engage citizens to further reduce false alarms.
PM AM deploys a set of processes that are responsible for bringing down false alarms. These Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 58 processes have been responsible for reducing the false alarms in the 150+ cities we serve today.
PM AM feels confident that these processes can continue to substantially reduce the false alarms for City of Glendora over the term of this Program.
The online alarm Academy Provided by PM AM has proven very insightful for the citizens.
As a result, citizens are informed about the reasons false alarms occur and take preventive measures that help reduce the false alarms in the future. Training materials are available in English and other languages as well.
Hearing and Appeals Support
FAMS stores, updates, and maintains the complete documentation required for appeal hearings. This allows cities to conduct appeal hearings using PM AM’s unique portal or dedicated administrative staff that work under Kevin George and Michael Watts.
The new FAMS intuitive appeals module provides flexibility to the hearing officers to review the complete historical information in real-time along with the requested Appeal information. This enables them to make informed decisions in a timely manner. Once the reviewer makes the decision in FAMS regarding the appeal, should the reviewer approve the appeal, FAMS automatically sends a notification to the permit holder that the appeal is approved.
Should the reviewer deny the appeal, FAMS automatically generates a new invoice for the amount that was being appealed. This process is compliant with the City’s False Alarm Programs Appeals Policy.

PM AM maintains the alarm permit database for the City in real time. Citizens and businesses can apply online for permit registration or can use traditional paper applications.
PM AM will continue to use the City’s current numbering system to issue permits.
FAMS customer service staff are always available during business hours to handle questions and provide assistance to your citizens/businesses. Messages left after-hours are returned the next business day. Our Customer Service Specialists are trained to provide step-by-step guidance to callers for completing the permit application. This service is available in English, Spanish and 175 plus other languages as required by the caller.
PM AM’s document specialist will review the existing alarm permit registration form and work with the City’s alarm administrator to finalize the permit registration form that incorporates the requirements of the City’s ordinance and the best practices that PM AM suggests, this results in City officials having the accurate and complete information about the permit location that is readily available to dispatch, police officers, fire responders, emergency personnel, alarm administrator and PM AM CSRs.
All the addresses that are entered into FAMS, whether online or by PM AM’s back-office data entry team, are first verified with the City’s GIS database before a permit is created. This process ensures that the permitting and alarm management service is offered only to City residents. PM AM has followed this process since 2004 and has been successful in eliminating the problem for the residents who do not live in the City limits who, for some reason, apply for a permit, and on an occurrence of an alarm do not get a police or fire response and later try to create problems for the City for issuing the permit and failing to respond. It is PM AM’s commitment to follow 100% accurate information with complete transparency and full access to City officials.
PM AM’s proven web-based citizen self-service portal is integrated with the City’s existing website striving to create a safe, transparent, and risk-free environment to the City’s community. The citizen portal is designed to make the alarm permit application process easy and accurate. The application module is designed to capture all relevant citizen and alarm company data proven to be necessary to support a successful alarm program through the use of pre-requisite fields along with address validation of the alarm site. All data is presented to the citizen for review prior to submission. This process ensures that all information submitted in the permit application is complete and accurate.
Immediately upon logging on to the City website, your citizens are provided a video demonstration to complete the permit application. Your citizens are confident in completing this process after learning the step-by-step instructions provided in the video demonstration.
This sophisticated web-portal informs your citizens regarding the receipt of application and notifies them of the acceptance/denial of the application. Your citizens discover that in just a few minutes, the permit is accepted, with a copy of the permit emailed to them. PM AM has Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 61 invested a great deal of time, money and resources in maturing these sophisticated processes.
These processes ensure that all information is cross referenced and verified and is 100% accurate and up to date. PM AM references City databases like GIS, utilities etc. to enforce the accuracy of the information. Our partner cities and counties constantly express the positive feedback they receive from their citizens and staff.
Once a permit is registered in FAMS database, then all subsequent alarms that happen at the permit location are assigned to the permit. City staff and PM AM staff are able to see the permit status, invoices, payments, and all past incidents including the number of incidents in the last 12 months in real time. FAMS maintains the original registration issue date, date of each false alarm including incident count (true/false), historical information on registration issuance and current registration status (active, expired, suspended, no-response etc.) information on a real time basis. Your citizens, City’s alarm administrator and PM AM’s CSRs, all have the ability to maintain the key holder information in real time through FAMS administrative and citizen portal. PM AM will continue to conduct all aspects of alarm permitting including but not limited to registration, annual updates and maintaining the alarm permit status.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 62 FAMS maintains the following required information for permits:
FAMS provides an online fully web-based portal with unlimited simultaneous access to City staff, dispatchers and officers allowing them to search or cross reference permit information by multiple partial, wild card and ASCII search options including but not limited to permit holder name, address and three other search criteria to view the account history and other alarm enforcement actions. This portal further allows the City staff to review and audit all data associated with the permits and run ad hoc reports as needed.

PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 63 FAMS can interact with various Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) Systems, enabling the transfer of necessary alarm permit information to the City's dedicated FTP location in a plain text CSV format. This information encompasses details such as the Permit Number, Permit Name, Alarm Site Address, Permit Status, Issue and Expiry Dates, Special Conditions, Pet Information, among others, in alignment with the agreements established with the City's CAD systems. We have successfully integrated our system with several CAD platforms, including Motorola’s Premier One CAD, utilized by agencies like Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department in Florida and in Coppell, Texas, as well as the Central Square One Solution, adopted by Midland, Texas, and Suffolk, Virginia.
Permit Renewal
PM AM’s FAMS has a business rules-based, automatic billing process; this eliminates errors and provides accurate information. PM AM has several reports that are executed by the Customer Service Billing Specialist to ensure all permit renewal notifications have been processed. As required by the City’s Alarm Ordinance, FAMS has detailed and well-defined processes to generate letters, invoices and electronic notifications to residences and businesses on City letterhead. The content for invoices, correspondence etc. has been approved by the city during the implementation phase and can be revised by the city at any time at no cost.
FAMS permitting and permit renewal processes include:
• Monitoring the issue date and expiration date of permits, thus identifying the permits due to expire in the next 30 days.
• Permits requiring renewal in the upcoming month are automatically generated and a permit renewal notice is sent. This provides the permit holder with sufficient time to always remain compliant with the City’s Ordinance.
• FAMS utilizes business rules to send non-compliant notices and permit applications to all alarm holders that have reported false alarm incidents but do not have a valid alarm permit. Your citizens thus apply for the permit, which results in additional revenue rightfully due to the City, as well as up to date key holder information to dispatch and police officers.
• If residents and businesses do not complete alarm permits after receiving the noncompliant notice, FAMS automatically generates a report for PM AM processes to engage these non-compliant citizens through phone contact to reapply for a permit.
Continually Updated Permitting Renewal Payment Information PM AM provides citizens an opportunity to update the responsible party and key holder information in real time in the citizen portal or by informing PM AM through phone calls or Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 64 written correspondence. Such best practices result in responsible party and key holder information being accurate and always available to the responding law enforcement officers.
Additional Permitting Processes
PM AM has outlined several key permitting processes within this section. There are additional processes within PM AM’s Billing, Security Company, Citizen Web Portal, and Customer Service programs that also enhance permitting compliance. PM AM’s permitting goal is to greatly increase alarm permit compliance and in turn, significantly increase City revenue from the permitting process. We have consistently increased permitting revenue between 100 – 300% for our partner cities.
False Alarm Tracking And Invoicing
FAMS, a 100% web-based solution is a business rules-based solution and our false alarm billing process has been set up to incorporate the City’s alarm ordinance. FAMS has the flexibility to modify alarm ordinance attributes to reflect new changes in the alarm ordinance as needed. This allows our customers to make changes or adopt revisions to their ordinance from time to time without worrying about PM AM’s ability to incorporate these changes.
Based on this customizable rule-based solution, FAMS adopts the billing criteria and all associated fees including false alarms charges on a one-year permit period that is billable based on the location type (residential, commercial, exempt) false alarm count, and the total fine for each location.
FAMS tracks the false alarm data, alarm activations and maintains the complete account history in real-time. FAMS is designed to receive a data set on a daily basis from the City’s CAD/RMS system identifying all alarm calls including the false alarms (along with accompanying final disposition codes) for the previous calendar date. FAMS maintains the incident count (true and false) for each location and provides the ability to track alarms not reported by the alarm monitoring companies.
PM AM has created a utility that interfaces with the multiple CAD platform, enabling the automatic extraction and transfer of necessary alarm incident data from the City's CAD system to PM AM's FAMS every day. This process does not require any intervention from City staff. Several agencies, like Tustin and Antioch in California, Richland Hills, Abilene, and Montgomery County in Texas, are already using this interface.
Notifications and invoices are sent to the citizens to inform them of any violations of the alarm ordinance on a frequency specified by the city. The invoices provide historic false alarm details and fines so the recipient is able to cross reference the invoice with the City’s municipal code requirements.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 65 This provides your citizens the confidence in the alarm program, and they pay their invoices on time. Invoices are sent with the following information:
• Account number, Invoice number and Invoice date
• New incidents for false alarm. All incidents are verified by FAMS business rules that are initially set and tested in accordance with the City ordinance • Time, date, type, sequence number, and response fee for each new incident including “Waived calls”
• Amounts paid, adjustments
• Amount of previously unpaid or delinquent response fees outstanding • Procedure to appeal a response fee
• History of incidents etc.
The FAMS billing process is robust and well defined, resulting in accurate billing. FAMS meets billing objectives by using several reports to check the accuracy of the billing to ensure bills are correct and received in a timely manner.
All correspondence including invoices, delinquent notices, email notifications, permit applications etc. that are sent to the citizens are customized and provided to the City officials for their approval. All invoices are printed on City color letterhead with logo and mailed in City logo envelopes. All stationary expenses are paid by PM AM.
All correspondences identify PM AM’s payment receiving address along with the tollfree number to assist your citizens and businesses to address any questions related to the administration or billing of the alarm program. All invoice formats for false alarms, penalties etc. provide a remittance stub to be sent along with the payments. All payments are posted within 24 hours.
PM AM invoices those customers whose checks were returned by the bank for insufficient funds. PM AM staff creates the additional NSF invoice and sends this new invoice along with all previous outstanding charges to the permit holder.
FAMS will continue to utilize the City’s ordinance business rules including but not limited to invoicing registered as well as unregistered locations, notifying citizens of every false alarm occurrence or when they are close to exceeding false alarm limits, notifying citizens delinquent by 30 days and 60 days along with the verbiage informing them of enforcement action, notifying the City regarding locations being placed or removed from no-response etc.
Similar rules are already incorporated into the FAMS system for other municipalities.
Additionally, FAMS can track organizations that have filed for Chapter 11 status; business rules within FAMS prevent billing these organizations.

PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 66 Interfaces
CAD Interface
PM AM interfaces with many leading “industry-standard” Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems.
PM AM will establish Data Exchange Communications for the City of Glendora’ CAD to accomplish two primary goals during the start of the program, or at any time during the contract period:
• Export alarm incidents from the City’s CAD system when installation is complete into FAMS database at a city-determined frequency, daily or weekly. • Transfer alarm permit data to the City’s CAD, allowing Emergency Communications (911) dispatchers to view permit status, emergency contacts, site condition, and other relevant information of the permit, as required by City. This data transfer will happen at a frequency determined by the City.
PM AM has accomplished the data exchange with CAD vendor’s cooperation and without CAD vendor’s active participation where cities directed PM AM to do so. Out of 100+ clients that PM AM serves, in only 5% of these programs the CAD vendor provided the interface.
In the other 95% of the programs PM AM built the data exchange routine on its own with City IT input.

Hearing And Appeals Support
PM AM offers its FAMS managed service as a complete 100% web-based solution to store, update and maintain all documentation required for appeal hearings.
FAMS has an intuitive appeals function that contains all the requisite information for a hearing officer to make a decision from the office or while using a mobile device.
Citizens receiving an invoice for false alarm fees may choose to contest their false alarms through the alarm hearing.
PM AM is happy to share the following approaches to handle the appeal hearing and shall work with the City in development of the appeal process consistent with the City’s ordinance.
In Person Hearings
When a citizen elects the option to have an in-person hearing, the invoice will direct him or her to call FAMS Customer Support or fill out a form and submit it by mail to schedule the hearing.
Alternatively, in cases where the permit may have been revoked due to excessive false alarms, a revocation notice is mailed to the citizen along with the instructions to request an appeal hearing. The FAMS solution provides a function for scheduling appeal hearings that allows the City to schedule the requested hearing in the time slots that the hearing officer has notified FAMS that he or she is available.
In the event that all the available time slots are taken, the City designee will enter the appeal request into a queue that will be called to schedule as soon as a new time slot becomes available. Hence, all appeal requests are handled in the order received. The hearing officer is provided with the complete account history enabling him/her to make the decision in an efficient manner.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 68 Alternative Process for Appeals by Mail
When a citizen elects to appeal by mail, the CSR who takes the information by phone or by mail will submit the appeal request with all the relevant permit account details for the hearing officer to review at his or her convenience.
In the case of both in-person hearings and appeals by mail, the hearing officer can enter the appeal decision and any corresponding notes into the FAMS solution. Once this information has been provided, a FAMS CSR
will generate a notice to the contestant providing
the details of the appeal decision that was made,
and make any accounting adjustments like
waiving a fine or creating a new invoice for an
existing fine to the citizen’s account.

Collection of Funds
PM AM will provide a nearby program mailing address where Citizens can submit payments related to registration, violation, miscellaneous charges.
PM AM collects all payments and correspondence mail daily from this remittance address. We then scan all collected mail into the OPEX System. Once scanning is completed, our proprietary process identifies the associated permit and its invoice using the scanned remittance slip and automatically applies to most payments. Subsequently, our payment processing team addresses all remaining exceptions, applying them to the permits to ensure that accounts are reconciled on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. All fees collected through the alarm program are deposited into the City’s dedicated bank account, which PM AM owns.
Funds are dispersed to the City after monthly reconciliation, based on a percentage of the revenues collected, as per the agreed-upon contract.
Citizens can pay by sending their payments through USPS mail or pay online. They will also have an option to visit the City and pay for their outstanding invoices. The City will have the option of forwarding all these payments in an envelope to this dedicated remittance address. Alternatively, the City can deposit these payments into the City’s bank account and enter the payment information into FAMS from the convenience of their office. FAMS will track all the payments received at the City and provide the summary and transaction details in the monthly financial report.
PM AM at its own expense, regularly performs an audit of its financial controls, data security and alarm management services through an independently- certified firm and shall be delighted to share its latest SSAE- 16 SOC I report, as needed by the City.

Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 70 Secured Payment Processing Gateway
PM AM has integrated necessary payment gateways to support ACH, debit, and credit card transactions online, imposing a minimal convenience charge of $3.00 for each transaction. This integration guarantees that payments are processed successfully at the same time, and no information regarding the credit card is stored in FAMS. This process results in no liability on the part of PM AM or the City. Since FAMS captures all the information in real time, accounts are reconciled on an ongoing basis.
PM AM partners with Authorize.Net and EVO Merchant Services as a payment gateway hosted software application on PM AM’s server which authorizes credit card payments between the self-service website and each credit card processor. Information such as credit card numbers, amounts, and customer’s name are encrypted and passed to the credit card processor, who then processes the payment through the Visa/MasterCard network. All payments are made in compliance with PCI.
Collections Processing
The processing of all funds associated within the FAMS environment is thorough and complete.
The FAMS collections system includes the ability to:
• Input cash receipts indicating which charges/fees to apply payment • Apply partial payments
• Process payments the same day
• Process and record returned checks
• Accept credit card payments transactions online and via phone • Accept bank routing information for online e-payment transactions Adjustments
FAMS allows adjustments that the City officials may deem necessary on the invoices that were sent out. An example of this is an alarm that was disposed as false and later it was determined to be true but the information of the alarm being true was not communicated to PM AM. In such events FAMS allows a functionality to enter the true alarm for a prior date. This aids in the documentation for any adjustments/cancellations that are requested by the City.
Refunds
Alarm Companies/citizens at times may send overpayments, PM AM has a transparent process through which all refund requests go through two levels of authorization and are submitted to the City for taking appropriate action. Once payments are received from the City, PM AM will remit a refund check to the individual/business account and or alarm companies.

Increased City Alarm Program Margins
PM AM has constantly been innovating processes and looking at modern solutions that are required to fulfill the large mail processing requirements that a partner City brings. PM AM’s relationship with industry leader, Pitney Bowes is almost a decade old. During this period, both sides have collaborated to create unique processes that fulfill the current demand of accuracy and speed with which large volumes of postal mail needs to be sent out every month.
PM AM utilizes the current mailing technologies that qualify its mail for bulk mail discounts, this will deliver additional costs savings to the City.
Undeliverable Mail
USPS national studies suggest that 17 percent of consumers and almost 20 percent of businesses move every year and the cost of handling “Undeliverable as Addressed” (UAA) mail is estimated at $2 billion annually. Advanced technology solutions are now available that constantly update the most current address information into the United States Postal Service database. In the absence of such solutions, US consumers stand to lose billions of dollars.
PM AM estimates that the 17% inaccurate mailings could cost the City a substantial amount of the false alarm revenue. This otherwise unrecoverable revenue is easily collected by PM AM as we use processes for eliminating mailing errors for our partner cities and counties include using the forwarding information for alarm holders to reduce incorrect addresses, wasted mailings and utilizing latest industry leading solutions to obtain updated and current address information prior to mailing, in real time over the Internet, available 24 x 7.

Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 83 • Alarm Matching Specialist
• Billing and Payment Specialist
• Customer Care Specialist
• Document Specialist
Utilizing FAMS to Create a Superior Customer Experience Customer Care Specialists are able to access all permit information in a single FAMS customer service view. This view allows Customer Care Specialists the ability to instantly access all invoices, alarm incidents, receivables, and collections data, which empowers them to have very meaningful dialogue instantly with each customer.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 84 For example, Customer Care Specialists can access customer invoices as they were issued.
This enables Customer Care Specialists to speak confidently, knowing they are discussing the exact documentation each citizen has received. If the citizen requires invoices to be resent to them, Customer Care Specialists can immediately resend invoices by email or fax so that customers can receive them in near real time.
• Emails are instantly sent by FAMS’s integrated email engine • Faxes are instantly sent by FAMS’s integrated fax service Customer Care Call Center
PM AM maintains high standards for each Customer Care Specialist. Our proprietary web-based call center application program monitors all interactions between citizens and our Customer Care Specialist. The Call Log records each call made or received by our Customer Care Specialists. This includes the telephone number, the duration of the call and the date and time the calls were made.
PM AM has a state-of-the-art phone predictive dialer that is capable of handling voice and data seamlessly. This feature helps create a positive experience for the callers and educates callers on alarm reduction efforts while they are on hold.
PM AM works with a single goal of “Single call resolution” to be 90%+.
Having a Same Day Call Back Policy in place for any voice messages ensures a high level of customer service is achieved.
Customer service metrics are available to supervisors in real-time. Customer Care supervisors are able to listen into live service calls and provide meaningful inputs if required, ensuring the customer service team is providing superior customer service. Our supervisors spend considerable time monitoring conversations to confirm the quality of citizen service is being provided by the customer care department. Supervisors are mandated to undertake Call Quality Audits on a regular basis and document the quality in a predefined questionnaire.
These audits are reviewed and become the basis for conducting coaching and training sessions to continually improve each Customer Care Specialist’s performance.
The City will benefit from our cloud-based solution and from happy and satisfied citizens who call our customer service representatives. PM AM utilizes call center best practices to ensure most calls are resolved during the first interaction.
All calls are recorded and available for later review. In the rare case of a customer complaint, PM AM is able to review the call recording for full knowledge of the interaction and take any necessary action to resolve the issue. This practice has been very helpful for the partner cities and PM AM to mutually review any feedback provided by the citizen about the false alarm management services.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 85 Due to this the average call time for our customer service representatives is less than 15 seconds. In the current year, they have processed an average of 48 calls per hour.
Furthermore, nearly 100% of all calls/issues are resolved during the initial phone call.
The Revenue Enhancement Program ensures that the Service Center identifies high value account collections in their outbound calls for collections. The predictive dialer calls for high outstanding false alarms charges and Customer Care Representatives contact customers with follow-up reminders for customers whose accounts include an agreed to pay notation on a specific date.
These policies as part of the overall FAMS solution produce measurable results. The City of Houston received a $3.8 million dollar increase in revenue collected from false alarms within the first two years of adopting the FAMS solution. According to Alfred Moran, Director of Administration and Regulatory Affairs Department for the City of Houston, statistics indicate that revenue collected from false alarms will continue to rise.
Additionally, the redundancy provided by PM AM of having similar Call Centers located at Dallas, TX, and Houston, TX shall be a huge benefit for the City in the event of an Act of God striking one of the centers.
Customer Representative Service Philosophy
PM AM understands that the City has high customer service expectations. PM AM seeks the highest degree of professionalism and courtesy in our service representatives and provides extensive customer service training to each employee before they start making live calls.
The following chart contains the highlights of our service guidelines.
Courtesy and Professionalism Standards
• Remember the difference between customer service and citizen service. You are representing the City and the person you are calling expects their government to be very responsive.
• Answer the phone pleasantly and maintain a pleasant demeanor while on the phone.
• Always be sincere. People will sense insincerity on the phone even though they cannot see your facial expressions or other non-verbal communication clues such as hand gestures, head nods and body posture.
• Know the ordinance and all information regarding its compliance. • Return all phone calls within the same day.
• Keep remarks of the contacts you make in the FAMS notes section. These notes are crucial for future contact of when city officials wish to check on an alarm user citizen account. Note dates for follow-up.
Statement of Understanding and
Approach
PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 86 • Listen and respond to the person on the other end of the line. When you focus on them rather than on what you are going to say next, the phone call becomes much more conversational.
• Know what you want to say before making an important call. • Do not do things such as open mail, do paperwork while on the phone. The person you are talking with will know you are distracted.
• Meeting weekly goals requires setting and meeting daily goals. Record you progress on a daily basis.
• Always use introductory or follow-up letters, FAMS informational fliers or other educational materials to further the goal of alarm reduction. • Focus to resolve calls in a timely fashion with politeness. If it becomes evident that the person is not the one needed to resolve the issue. Obtain the correct information and then contact that person.
• Before disconnecting the call, one should recap the reason for the call, the resolution provided and that the expectation has been met and caller is satisfied.
Customer Messaging Standards
• Clearly identify yourself, the nature of the call and what action is required of the alarm user.
• Provide a call back telephone number.
• Speak with confidence and authority.
• When you connect with a secretary or an assistant to the person responsible for payments, ask about a convenient time that might be best to call back. • When finding it difficult to get business alarm users, try to call early in the morning or later in the evening when more time may be available.
VAI – Conversational Intelligence:
Central to our strategy is VAI, our AI-powered platform that elevates contact center performance and boosts collection outcomes.
VAI empowers agents with Conversational Intelligence, delivering real-time guidance, postcall improvement suggestions, and 100% AI-driven Quality Checks. It also prepares agents to confidently navigate the complexities of city alarm ordinances, with training tailored to ordinance understanding, violation handling, and citizen compliance conversations, which are often the most challenging areas for new recruits.
Agents benefit from:
• Role-play simulations of real customer queries to ensure readiness. • Access to a library of best and poor-performing calls, creating a shared learning culture.
• City ordinance-specific training modules to ensure compliance and response accuracy even before agents handle live calls.

PM AM Response to RFP, FAPM Services for City of Glendora, CA - Confidential | Vendor Sensitive (Not for Public Disclosure) 87 False Alarm Reduction Processes
It is the intent of all Police departments to significantly reduce false alarms. PM AM commits to invest sizeable resources, time, and money in developing an array of processes and methods to address the issue of false alarms and engage your citizens through multiple outreach efforts that are proven to consistently deliver sustained decreases in false alarms for our partner cities and counties.
We are providing some of the methods that consistently produce positive results in reducing false alarms.
Repetitive False Alarm Violators Identification
FAMS has meaningful reports, but more importantly, FAMS also presents decision support tools like dashboards and scorecards. These tools systematically identify repeat offenders who cause a high number of false alarms, even though these repeat violators are limited in number. These highly intelligent, analytical reports are then utilized by PM AM’s Customer Care service to deploy meaningful outreach efforts. This usually encourages repeat violators to take corrective actions, preventing further false alarms from happening.
Educational Material
In 2007, PM AM started providing educational material in the form of CDs, a modern and innovative approach. Since its launch, this strategy has been adopted by industry, and it is now offered by almost all industry players. These materials educate alarm users about the impact of false alarms on police resources and how such calls take limited police resources away from true emergencies. The educational materials are available in both English and Spanish languages.
Online False Alarm Academy
The False Alarm Academy is an online platform that enables citizens to learn false alarm prevention strategies and complete a test to understand how to prevent future incidents. The Academy is especially effective when used as part of the alarm permit reinstatement process for users whose permits have been suspended due to a high number of false alarms, in cases where the City's alarm ordinance mandates such a provision as an option for first false alarm offenses as required by the City.
The Academy can be set up as part of an online process with a secure login/password. PM AM will assist the City in developing a detailed curriculum and test questions/answers that are tailored to the City’s False Alarm Ordinance.

As soon as practical following City Council approval of the 2011-2013 MOU, the City amended its PERS contract to provide for the 2% at 60 benefit formula with final three years compensation, which shall apply to all “Classic” miscellaneous employees hired on and after the effective date of said contract amendment.
B. New Members (As defined by the PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ PENSION REFORM ACT OF 2013 and SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS TO THE
ACT)
The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA,) as it may from time to time exist, shall in its entirety be given full force and effect during and after the term of the 2013-2015 MOU.

AFSCME employees assigned to training off-duty will receive hour for hour overtime for time actually spent in training. AFSCME employees will receive onehour minimum travel time and hour for hour thereafter for additional time spent traveling to and from training, if the AFSCME employee's work hours cannot be adjusted to cover travel to and from training.
AFSCME employees who request to participate in non-assigned training are subject to the discretionary approval of the Chief of Police or their Department Head for compensation.
Employees receiving a fixed monthly vehicle allowance, or who use their personal vehicle on City business and receive mileage reimbursement, shall obtain and maintain personal vehicle insurance as required by California law and said employee’s insurance shall be “primary”.

ARTICLE 47 - CITY RIGHTS
It is understood that all rights, powers and authority possessed by the City prior to the execution of the Agreement are retained by the City and remain exclusively and without limitation within the rights of the City.

ARTICLE 48 - DISCIPLINE AND GRIEVANCE
A. Minor Discipline: Employees from this bargaining group subjected to “minor discipline” of suspension of 2 days or less, a performance evaluation, or written reprimand, may meet one-on-one with their Department Head to discuss the matter. The affected employee shall be allowed to exercise an employee’s option to secure representation for the meeting process. The Department Head’s decision shall be final, whether verbal or written.
B. Group/Bargaining Unit Grievance: A group grievance may be filed when one (1) set of circumstances or occurrences affects more than one (1) employee in the same manner or to the same extent. The group may file one (1) document which all members of the group have read and signed.
Members of the group shall be limited to those who have signed the 22 grievance. The resolution of a group grievance may not be consistent among all employees in the group grievance due to differences in the circumstances or occurrences that brought about the grievance.
A group grievance affecting all members of an employee organization may be brought by the employee organization itself. In such case the procedure shall be commenced directly within fifteen (15) working days after authorized representatives of the employee organization knew or by reasonable diligence should have known of the condition giving rise to the grievance and shall be subject to all applicable time limitations and the provisions set forth in Rule 11 of the Personnel Rules.
C. Section 11.1 of the City Personnel Rules shall be amended to read as follows: Matters subject to grievance procedures. Any alleged violations(s) of the Personnel Rules or adopted MOU, except matters subject to Rule
9.0, shall be considered to be a matter subject to review through the grievance procedure.
D. Section 9.7.7 and Section 9.7.8 of the City Personnel Rules dealing with disciplinary appeal hearing procedures, shall be inapplicable to this bargaining unit and replaced by the procedures contained in attached Exhibit B.
E. Section 11.4 of the City Personnel Rules dealing with grievance appeal procedures, shall be inapplicable to this bargaining unit. The Advisory Arbitration process set forth in the Amendments to Rule 9 contained in attached Exhibit B, shall be utilized if the employee does not agree with the decision reached by the Department Head. It is expressly agreed and understood that the burden of proof, and the burden of going forward with the evidence, rests with the grievant(s) rather than the City.
ARTICLE 49 - EMPLOYEE RELEASE TIME
For meet and confer issues with management, City agrees to grant paid employee release time for up to five regular committee members and one alternate to attend scheduled bargaining or negotiating sessions. This paid time includes one half-hour release time at the beginning and at the end of each session for preparation. The alternate member shall only be released to attend a bargaining session when a “regular” member has indicated they are unable to attend. No employee shall receive overtime compensation for time spent in the meet and confer process. No more than two employees from the same division may serve on a committee.
ARTICLE 50 - JOB SHARING
Two employees, with the advance approval of the Department Head and the City Manager, may share one full-time position on a fifty-fifty basis. The salary and all benefits of such approved job-sharing arrangements shall be allocated on a fifty-fifty basis between the two employees. The City shall not incur any additional costs in salary and/or benefits as a consequence of the job sharing 23 arrangements and the sharing of benefits is subject to any policies or rules of the benefit provider.
The determination of the schedule worked (both days and hours) shall be approved by the Department Head. Once the schedule is agreed upon, the employees may not modify the schedule without the approval of the Department Head.
Prior to commencement of the job sharing arrangement, both employees shall enter into a written agreement with the Department Head setting forth the specifics of salary, benefits, work hours and other related benefits.
The job sharing arrangement may be revoked at any time by the Department Head in the event the Department Head determines the job sharing arrangement is not in the best interests of the City. The decision to revoke, as well as the decision to deny, a job sharing arrangement is not subject to the grievance procedure or any other appeal procedure.
ARTICLE 51 - NO STRIKE
B. It is agreed and understood that there will be no concerted strike, sympathy strike, work stoppage, slow-down, obstructive picketing, or concerted refusal or failure to fully and faithfully perform job functions and responsibilities, or other concerted interference with the operations of the City by the Bargaining Unit or by its officers, agents, or members during the term of this Agreement. Compliance with the request of other labor organizations to engage in such activities is included in the prohibition.
C. The Bargaining Unit recognizes the duty and obligation of its representatives to comply with the provisions of the Agreement and to make every effort toward inducing its members not to strike or participate in a sympathy strike, work stoppage, slow-down, or obstructive picketing. The Association agrees in good faith to actively take affirmative action to cause those employees to cease such action.
D. It is agreed and understood that any employee concertedly violating this article may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
E. The expiration or violation of this Agreement shall not prejudice the City's right to assert the illegality of any such activities mentioned above if engaged in by the Bargaining Unit or employees.
ARTICLE 52 – PERSONNEL RULE 4.5(2)
A unit member shall be eligible for salary step 2 (i.e., B) upon completion of twelve (12) months of employment and for continued satisfactory and efficient service and continued improvement in the effective performance of the duties of the position. All remaining personnel rule conditions precedent to advancement to salary step 2 (i.e., B) shall remain unchanged.
24 ARTICLE 53 – PROMOTIONS
For position vacancies within the bargaining unit, the City shall consider all qualified employee applicants. Initial screening of internal candidates will be for minimum qualifications only; external candidates may be screened for additional highly desired criteria. Overall, the City will select the applicant who, in the City’s judgement and discretion, is best qualified by virtue of skills, abilities, experience and other qualifications as defined in the job descriptions and/or outlined in the City’s posting for the vacancy. The City reserves the right to hire the most qualified candidate for any position, whether an internal or external candidate.
ARTICLE 54 - REOPENER ON PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND
CONTRACTING OUT OF WORK
During the term of this Agreement, the City of Glendora has and retains the exclusive right to set performance standards for all positions in the bargaining unit.
The City also has and retains the exclusive right to contract out work currently performed by positions in the bargaining unit. Any such decision shall be preceded by a 60-day notice given to the bargaining unit which shall then be given an opportunity to meet and confer with the City on the implementation and impact of such a decision. City will consider displaced employees for existing vacancies provided employee is qualified and meets the competitive standard for the position.
The exercise of this reopener provision shall not be subject to any internal grievance or appeal process, PERB proceeding, and/or court action, and the obligation to meet and confer does not require the parties to utilize mediation or fact finding as part of the impasse process.
ARTICLE 55 - RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT
In order to provide an adequate response in the event of a natural disaster, major civil disobedience, or other City needs, any employee hired by the City to fill an employment position on or after July 1, 1997, must have and maintain a permanent primary (i.e. 51% or more of the time) residence within sixty-five (65) miles or less of the Glendora City Hall.
ARTICLE 56 - SAVINGS CLAUSE
If any part or provision of the Memorandum of Understanding is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Memorandum of Understanding.
ARTICLE 57- TRAINEE APPOINTMENTS
A trainee appointment is an underfill appointment to a regular position made from an appropriate eligible list for a lower classification (one with a lower 25 maximum rate of pay) and is for the prescribed period as provided for in the City class specification. An employee appointed to a trainee classification must qualify for the higher classification or be terminated; promotional requirements are outlined in the City class specification.
During the period of trainee appointment, the trainee shall be in an at-will status and an incumbent cannot attain permanent status in any designated trainee classification. Appointments to each higher classification within the series are subject to probationary period requirements as provided for in the Personnel Rules.
A promotion from the trainee classification to the first regular classification in the series in which the employee can attain regular status (e.g., following successful completion of the probationary period), shall be considered the initial appointment to the City, and follow probationary period requirements for initial appointments.
The City shall follow the Personnel Rules concerning any City employees who have attained regular status in another classification prior to appointment to a trainee classification, and who are not successful during the training period or a subsequent promotional probationary period within the series.
ARTICLE 58 - WAIVER OF BARGAINING DURING THE TERM OF THIS
AGREEMENT

29 EXHIBIT B - THIRD PARTY ADVISORY PROCESS FOR DISCIPLINARY
APPEALS
The "third party" advisory process is the step between the Department Director's action and the City Manager's final decision. In the Department Director's notice of final disciplinary action (which should be served by certified mail or personal delivery) shall be a statement which clearly informs the employee that he/she has the right, within ten (10) working days after receipt of the response, to request the next level of appeal. The day the employee receives the Department Director's final notice shall not count as one of the ten (10) days.
The employee's request for the next level of appeal must be addressed to the Personnel Director and received in the Personnel Office so that same is date stamped by the Personnel Office within the ten-day period.
If, within the ten-day appeal period, the employee involved does not file said appeal, unless good cause for the failure is shown, the action of the Department Director shall be considered conclusive and shall take effect as prescribed. If within the ten-day appeal period, the employee involved files such notice of appeal by giving written notice of appeal to the Personnel Director, an appeal hearing shall be established as follows:
a) If a single third party hearing officer cannot be agreed upon by the Personnel Director and the employee's representative (or employee alone if unrepresented), the American Arbitration Association shall be requested to submit a list of seven (7) persons qualified to act as arbiters to the City and the employee. Within ten (10) days following receipt of the list of arbiters, the parties shall meet to select the arbiter.
The parties shall alternately strike one (1) name from the list of arbiters (the right to strike the first name to be determined by lot) until one (1) name remains, and that person shall be the arbiter.
b) Where practicable, the date for a hearing shall not be less than twenty (20) days, nor more than sixty (60) days, from the date of the filing of the appeal with the Personnel Director. The parties may stipulate to a longer or shorter period of time in which to hear the appeal. All interested parties shall be notified in writing of the date, time and place of hearing.
c) All hearings shall be private, however, the arbiter shall, at the request of the employee, open the hearing to the public.
30 d) Subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecums pertaining to a hearing shall be issued at the request of either party, not less than five (5) working days, prior to the commencement of such hearing. After the commencement of such hearing, subpoenas shall be issued only at the discretion of the arbiter.
e) The hearing need not be conducted in accordance with technical rules relating to evidence and witnesses. Any relevant evidence shall be admitted if it is the sort of evidence on which reasonable persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rules which might make improper the admission of such evidence over objection in civil actions.
Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining any direct evidence but shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding unless it would be admissible over objection in civil actions. The rules of privilege shall be effective to the same extent that they are now or hereafter may be recognized in civil and criminal actions, and irrelevant and unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded. The arbiter shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence. The arbiter shall rule on the admission or exclusion of evidence.
f) Each party shall have these rights: To be represented by legal counsel or other person of his/her choice; to call and examine witnesses; to introduce evidence; to cross-examine opposing witnesses on any matter relevant to the issues even though that matter was not covered in the direct examination; to impeach any witness regardless of which party first called him/her to testify; and to rebut the evidence against him/her. If the respondent does not testify in his/her own behalf, he/she may be called and examined as if under cross-examination. Oral evidence shall be taken only on oath or affirmation. A court reporter will be engaged to record the hearing, unless the parties (City, employee/employer representative) mutually agree that same is not necessary. In the event that both parties mutually agree that a court reporter is not necessary, the hearing shall be electronically recorded.
If either party requests a transcript of the electronic recording, the City shall have the recording transcribed by a court reporter. g) The hearing shall proceed in the following order, unless the arbiter, for special reason, otherwise directs:
(1) The party imposing discipline shall be permitted to make an opening statement;
(2) The appealing party shall then be permitted to make an opening statement;
(3) The party imposing disciplinary action shall produce the evidence on his/her part; the City bears the burden of proof and burden of producing evidence;
31 (4) The party appealing from such disciplinary action may then open his/her defense and offer his/her evidence in support thereof; the employee bears the burden of proof and the burden of producing evidence for any affirmative defenses asserted; (5) The parties may then, in order, respectively offer rebutting evidence only, unless the arbiter for good reason, permits them to offer evidence upon their original case;
(6) Closing arguments shall be permitted and written briefs may be permitted at the discretion of the arbiter.
h) The arbiter shall determine relevancy, weight, and credibility of testimony and evidence. He/she shall base his/her findings on the preponderance of evidence. During the examination of a witness, all other witnesses, except the parties, shall be excluded from the hearing unless the arbiter, in his/her discretion, for good cause, otherwise directs. No still photographs, moving pictures, or television pictures shall be taken in the hearing chamber during a hearing. The arbiter, prior to or during a hearing, may grant a continuance for any reason he/she believes to be important to reaching a fair and proper decision.
The arbiter shall render his/her written judgment as soon after the conclusion of the hearing as possible and in no event later than thirty (30) days after conducting the hearing. His/her decision shall set forth which charges, if any, are sustained and the reasons therefore. The opinion shall set forth findings of fact and conclusions. The opinion shall be advisory only.
i) The arbiter may recommend sustaining or rejecting any or all of the charges filed against the employee. He/she may recommend sustaining, rejecting or modifying the disciplinary action invoked against the employee. He/she may not recommend for discipline more stringent than that invoked by the Department Director.
The arbiter's opinion and recommendation shall be filed with the City Manager, with a copy sent to the charged employee, and the Personnel Director, and shall set forth his/her findings and recommendations. If it is a dismissal hearing and a dismissal is not the arbiter's recommendation, the opinion shall set forth the recommended date the employee is recommended to be reinstated and/or other recommended action. The reinstatement date, if appropriate, may be any time on or after the date of disciplinary action.
j) Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the arbiter's findings and recommendation, and transcript (if requested), whichever date is later, the City Manager shall adopt, amend, modify or reject the recommended findings, conclusions, and/or opinions of the arbiter.
Prior to making a decision which modifies or rejects the recommendation of the arbiter, the City Manager shall order and read 32 the transcript of the Third Party Advisory Process. Prior to making a decision which supports the arbiter, the City Manager may order and read the subject transcript, at his/her option. The City Manager shall not conduct a de novo hearing. The City Manager may, at his/her option, allow limited oral arguments and/or may request and review written statements from either side. The decision of the City Manager shall be final and conclusive. Copies of the City Manager's decision, including the arbiter's recommendation(s) shall be filed where appropriate, including the employee's personnel file, unless no discipline is upheld by the City Manager.
Each party shall bear equally the cost of facilities, fees and expenses of the arbiter, including the court reporter and transcripts. Each party shall bear its own witness and attorney fees. If either party unilaterally cancels or postpones a scheduled arbitration, thereby resulting in a fee charged by the arbiter or court reporter, then the party responsible for the cancellation or postponement shall be solely responsible for payment of that fee. This process shall not apply to mutual settlements by the parties which result in an arbitration fee.
k) In the case of suspension, demotion, reduction in salary, or dismissal prescribed by the City Manager, the time of such suspension, demotion or dismissal shall be effective from the first day after such delivery of said decision or shall relate back to and be effective as of the date the employee was suspended from duty pending hearing before and decision by the City Manager, whichever is applicable. If discipline imposed resulted in loss of pay, and the decision results in reduction or elimination of loss of pay, the pay loss shall be restored to the employee based on the number of standard work hours lost computed at his/her then base hourly rate.
l) The provisions of Section 1094.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be applicable to proceedings under this Section.
