the

communicate
with

using

Fleet Program Single Vendor Expenditure Authority Increase
1. Increase
the
single
vendor
expenditure
authority
for
the
City
Manager,
or
his
designee,
to
an
amount
not
to
exceed
the
budgeted
amount
for
the
fleet
fund
capital
asset
new
and
replacement
accounts
(Account
Nos.
111-44000-6201,
101-44000-6201,
and
111-44000-
8200),
as
the
same
may
be
amended
by
the
Council
from
time
to
time,
through
the
end
of
Fiscal
Year
2023-2024,
and
require
the
City
Manager
to
report
purchases
in
excess
of
purchasing authority to the City Council in writing within thirty (30) days of the expenditure.
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents.
U.S.
vehicle
and
equipment
inventory
are
at
their
lowest
since
the
global
financial
crisis
of
the
late
2000s.
The
shortage
of
microchips
and
the
constantly
changing
price
of
materials
means
the
final
sales
price
of
a
vehicle
could
adjust
daily.
Supply
chain
disruptions
and
increased
demand
have
significantly
reduced
dealer
inventory
over
the
past
year.
The
Maintenance
Services
Division
is
proposing
to
increase
the
City
Manager’s
expenditure
authority
with
single
vendors
regarding
vehicle
and
equipment
purchases.
All
of
these
factors
contribute
to
fleet
shortages
and
difficulty
obtaining
vehicles
and
equipment
for
City
operational
needs.
The
new
expenditure
authority
will
match
the
approved
fleet
funds
capital
asset
budget.
This
would
streamline
the
vehicle
purchasing
process,
and
stay
compliant
with
procurement
guidelines
outlined
in
the
City's
purchasing
policy.
Maintenance
Services
staff
will
continue
to
use
the
purchasing-approved
procurement
methods
of
quotes,
cooperative
agreements,
or
solicitations
to
select
the
vendor
providing
the
best
value
for
each
purchase.
Maintenance Services would then work with the successful vendor to finalize the purchase.
CC 10.

Adopt
Ordinance No. 1105
, amending Section 17.20.760, 17.20.770, 17.20.780, 17.20.790,
17.20.800, 17.20.810 and 17.20.820 of the Zoning Ordinance (Title 17 of Lancaster Municipal Code), to establish the East Side Overlay with the modification to move the western boundary of the East Side Overlay to 60
Street East.
th
On August 22, 2023, City Council held a public meeting to discuss the East Side Overlay.
During that meeting several residents expressed concerns about the boundaries of the overlay and requested that the boundary shift further east. In response to residents’ concerns, City Council ultimately moved the East Side Overlay boundary from 40 Street East to 60
Street
East.

Bid

meet
all
State

City
requirements
for
competitive
procurement.
The
City
could
not
make
this
purchase
locally,
as
no
Lancaster

sells
trucks
of
this
size.
This
purchase
will
replace
an
existing
2005

F450
graffiti
truck
(EQ

used
for
graffiti
removal.
The
existing
vehicle
has
reached
the
end
of
its
useful
operating
life,
and
will
be
auctioned
via
an
approved
City program. The revenues from this auction will fund future fleet replacements.

600
units
of

Verdant
has
met
all
milestones
established
in
the

schedule
of
performance
to
date,
and
has
exceeded
staff
expectations
in
the
quality
of
the
proposed
development
upon
submittal
for
development
review.
Verdant
is
now
seeking
to
expand
their

plan
onto
two
additional
parcels
totaling
6.92 acres,
which
are
located
adjacent to the existing project site.
