AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Consider Councilmember Anthony Phan’s Request to Appear Remotely Pursuant to AB 2449 and Authorize the Council to Accept Public Comments Remotely at the April 16, 2024 Meeting of the Milpitas City Council (Staff Contact: Michael Mutalipassi, City Attorney, 408-586-3040; and Suzanne Guzzetta, 408-586-3001)
Category: Leadership and Support Services
Meeting Date: 4/16/2024
Recommendation: Receive disclosure from Councilmember Phan regarding the nature of the medical emergency or just cause circumstances. Vote on a motion as to whether to allow Councilmember Phan to appear remotely pursuant to AB2449 and to allow remote public comment at the April 16, 2024 meeting of the Milpitas City Council.
Background:
AB 2449 allows a councilmember to attend a council meeting by electronic means, without the usual Brown Act requirements for public access, in cases of either a medical emergency or when just cause exists. Under AB 2449 an emergency circumstance means, “a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in person.” Just cause means, (A) a childcare or caregiving need of a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner that requires them to participate remotely, (B) a contagious illness that prevents a member from attending in person, (C) a need related to a physical or mental disability, or (D) travel while on official business of the legislative body or another state or local agency. AB 2449 requires the council to take action to approve an electronic appearance if medical emergency circumstances or just cause exists.
AB 2449 has limitations on the number of remote appearances that a councilmember can make during a calendar year. A councilmember may appear electronically for just cause not more than two times per calendar year. A member may not participate electronically pursuant to AB 2449 for a period of more than three consecutive months or 20 percent of the regular meetings for the local agency within a calendar year, or more than two meetings if the legislative body regularly meets fewer than 10 times per calendar year. For the purposes of the City Council, a Councilmember may not appear electronically pursuant to AB2449 more than 4 times in total in a calendar year.
During an AB2449 appearance, the member shall publicly disclose, before any action is taken, whether any other individuals 18 years of age or older are present in the room at the remote location with the member, and the general nature of the member’s relationship with any such individuals. The member shall participate through both audio and visual technology, which means that the member must have their camera turned on during the conduct of the meeting.
AB2449 requires that the public be allowed to make public comments remotely at any meeting that a Councilmember appears remotely because of a medical emergency or just cause. In order to authorize an AB2449 appearance at a Council meeting, the Council will also have to allow remote public comment at that meeting.
Analysis:
Councilmember Phan has requested that he be allowed to appear electronically via AB2449 at the April 16, 2024 meeting of the City Council as a result of a medical emergency. Councilmember Phan will disclose the appropriate details regarding the nature of the medical emergency at the Council meeting. The remainder of the Council will then vote to approve or deny the electronic appearance based on the existence of a medical emergency or just cause. Should the Council allow Councilmember Phan to appear remotely, the Council will also need to allow the public to comment remotely on each item on the agenda.
Councilmember Phan has not exhausted his AB2449 appearances for the 2024 calendar year. He has not appeared for just cause or a for a medical emergency in 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
CEQA:
The action is continuing administrative or maintenance activity and is not a project pursuant to Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15378.
Recommendation:
Receive disclosure from Councilmember Phan regarding the nature of the medical emergency or just cause circumstances. Vote on a motion as to whether to allow Councilmember Phan to appear remotely pursuant to AB2449 and to allow remote public comment at the April 16, 2024 meeting of the Milpitas City Council.

Assistant City Attorney Creech presented the report and provided additional background.
There were the following public speakers:
1. Loreto Quevedo Diamandaal
2. Voltaire Montemayor
City Attorney Mutalipassi announced a minor change to the ordinance language.
Councilmember Phan thanked the attorney's office for their work on the matter. He voiced reservations about the about the potential negative impact of restricting solicitation, particularly in terms of community image and democratic principles, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue and embracing differences. He questioned the effectiveness of current solicitation ordinances and suggested that targeting commercial properties and public spaces might be more beneficial. City Attorney Mutalipassi suggested that a commercial solicitation ordinance could be added as a seperate prioritization item.
Vice Mayor Chua questioned the strategy for disseminating information to residents. Assistant City Attorney Creech deferred to the Public Information Officer for strategy on public education and outreach, such as social media posts, website updates, and potential press releases, and noted the ordinance itself includes provisions for educating solicitors and canvassers about the city's regulations.
Vice Mayor Chua added that the next step should be addressing a commercial solicitation ordinance.
Mayor Montano spoke on the hazard of solicitation in the right of way.
Vice Mayor Chua made a motion: to waive the reading beyond the title and introduce Ordinance 314, which would add Chapter 15 to Title V of the Milpitas Municipal Code to prohibit the trespass of canvassers, solicitors and others on residential property, make findings of exemption from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3), 15183, 15305, and 15378, and update the language on Title V-15-3.06 from forbiting to forbidding. Mayor Montano seconded the motion.
City Attorney Mutalipassi read aloud the title of the ordinance.
Upon a call for the question, the motion failed:

Background:
The City of Milpitas has 13 Commissions (including the Measure F Oversight Committee), with members appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council.

Copies of the applications are then presented to the Mayor for consideration. Per Government Code 40605, in a general law city where the office of Mayor is an elective office, the Mayor, subject to City Council approval, assumes the responsibility for appointments to boards, commissions, and committees unless otherwise specifically provided for by statute.
Current Commissioners may seek to be reappointed upon the expiration of their current term, but reappointment to a new term is not automatic.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Reallocation of American Rescue Plan Act Funds (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3053)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 4/16/2024
Recommendation: (1) Approve the reallocation of funding within the American Rescue Plan Act Fund and the General Fund to ensure completion of the programs in the ARPA Investment Plan previously approved by Council; and (2) Adopt the resolution authorizing the reallocation of funding within the American Rescue Plan Act Fund balance as of March 31, 2024 and the General Fund to fund certain City staff positions during Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and to ensure completion of programs in the ARPA Investment Plan previously approved by Council.
BACKGROUND
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law, providing critical fiscal relief for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, families, communities, and small businesses fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), established by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), delivered $350 billion to state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to support the response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Although the funding name is Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds or “SLFRF”, staff will refer to the funding name in this agenda report as “ARPA” to be consistent with prior documents presented to Council.
The City of Milpitas was allocated and received $16,736,815 in ARPA grant funding. On June 21, 2021, Council adopted the ARPA Investment Framework consisting of fiscal guiding principles and five investment areas to determine how to spend the City’s ARPA allocation. This agenda report also stated that staff intended to document the use of ARPA Funds under the revenue replacement category, which allowed the City to reimburse itself for lost revenue due to the pandemic, and use that revenue to support certain government services. According to staff calculations using the prescribed U.S. Treasury Department methodology, the City lost $45 million in revenue in 2021; therefore, the entire $16.7 million ARPA allocation was eligible to offset government services expenditures.
Spending funds under the SLFRF Revenue Replacement category allows the City to fund a wide array of potential expenditures, including general government administration such as covering the wages of local government employees. Expenses incurred beginning March 3, 2021 through December 31, 2024 is the timeframe the City can cover costs associated with wages, including reimbursement of previous costs (back to March 3, 2021) and supplanting previously budgeted and future costs. The City has the option to reimburse itself for all or a portion of wages incurred any time between March 3, 2021, up until December 31, 2024.
However, it is important to note that ARPA funds cannot be utilized for debt service, replenish rainy-day funds, cover legal judgments, compensate elected officials, or make pension payments.
On August 9, 2021, Council approved using ARPA funds for 25 programs in the ARPA Investment Plan specifically focused on five investment areas: community services, economic vitality, infrastructure, public safety, and technology. On March 18, 2024, staff provided to Council an informational memorandum describing the status of each program as of February 14, 2024.
The December 31, 2024 deadline to obligate ARPA funds is approaching. ARPA grantees must obligate all ARPA funds (e.g., encumber funding through the issuance of contracts/purchase orders) by December 31, 2024, and expend all ARPA funds by December 31, 2026. Otherwise, the respective ARPA grantee must return unobligated and/or unexpended ARPA funds to the U.S. Department of Treasury (“Treasury”). Staff has reviewed the ARPA regulations promulgated by the Treasury and conferred with AG Witt, the City’s government and regulatory advisor, regarding options to retain the ARPA grant funds within the Milpitas community while meeting the ARPA obligation and expenditure deadlines.
ANALYSIS
Due to the uncertainty of what may be considered obligated under Treasury guidelines, staff recommends fund reallocations between the ARPA Fund and the General Fund to mitigate any impacts to the programs in the ARPA Investment Plan previously authorized by Council. As of March 9, 2024, approximately $9.0 million of the allocated $16.7 million in ARPA funds was expended, with a remaining balance of $7.7 million. Staff recommends reallocating this remaining ARPA balance less expenditures through March 31, 2024, to the City’s General Fund for the purposes of funding wages associated with certain City staff for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024, as detailed in Table 1. The precise amount of the budget reallocation will be determined after the quarter close.
This budget action and subsequent transfer of staff expenditures from the General Fund to the ARPA Fund will enable $7.7 million, less expenditures through March 31, 2024, of programs currently budgeted in the ARPA Fund to be budgeted in the General Fund as shown in Table 2. The recommended actions will not affect any services previously authorized by the Council and will result in the obligation of all ARPA funds prior to the December 31, 2024 obligation deadline, and subsequent expenditure of the ARPA funds prior to the December 31, 2026 expenditure deadline.
All the staff positions and respective salaries proposed for reallocation provide a direct service to the community and to the long-term future growth and development of Milpitas. Not only are these positions the face of the City, but they perform duties that are the backbone of the City. For example, the Public Works maintenance staff plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and safety of essential infrastructure such as roads, water/sewer, public facilities, landscaping, and parks. Proper maintenance of critical infrastructure enhances the overall quality of life for residents and businesses in Milpitas. Reallocating the remaining ARPA grant balance to fund Department staff wages will enable the City to finalize its ARPA expenditures, ensuring compliance with Treasury guidelines.
Any funding or program changes within the ARPA Investment Plan will be presented to Council in a future Council meeting.

POLICY ALTERNATIVES
Alternative: Do not reallocate funding between the ARPA fund balance and General Fund Pros: None
Cons: Risk losing funding that is not obligated per federal requirements (contracts awarded an/or orders placed) by the December 31, 2024 obligation deadline Reasons for Not Recommending:
Reallocating funding between the ARPA fund balance and the General Fund will ensure all ARPA funds provided to the City will be obligated and expended prior to the December 31, 2024 deadline.
Fiscal Impact
If Council approves the reallocation of funding within the ARPA Fund (Fund 180 ARPA) and General Fund (Fund 100), the ARPA funding will be fully expended before the December 31, 2024 obligation deadline. The risk of losing ARPA funding will be eliminated, and staff can continue implementing the programs in the former ARPA Investment Plan.
California Environmental Quality Act
The recommendation is a fiscal activity of the City government or an action to create a City government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and is not a project pursuant to Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 14, § 15378.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the reallocation of funding within the American Rescue Plan Act Fund and the General Fund to ensure completion of the programs in the ARPA Investment Plan previously approved by Council.
2. Adopt the resolution authorizing the reallocation of funding within the American Rescue Plan Act Fund balance as of March 31, 2024 and the General Fund to fund certain City staff positions during Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and to ensure completion of programs in the ARPA Investment Plan previously approved by Council.

WHEREAS, the City of Milpitas received $16,736,814 in SLFRF grant allocation, herein referred to as “ARPA”, of which 50 percent was received in June 2021 and the remaining amount in June 2022; and
WHEREAS, any ARPA funds not obligated by December 31, 2024 must be returned to the U. S.
Department of Treasury, with the federal government definition of obligation as an order placed for property and services and entering into contracts, subawards, and similar transactions that require payment; and
WHEREAS, any ARPA funds not expended by December 31, 2026 must be returned to the U. S.
Department of Treasury; and
WHEREAS, under the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: 2022 Final Rule, January 2022, the City, within the revenue loss category, may use its full allocation of ARPA funding for general government services up to the amount of revenue the City lost due to the pandemic;
WHEREAS, certain expenditures incurred from March 3, 2021 through December 31, 2024 are eligible for ARPA funding under the SLFRF Revenue Replacement category, which include covering the wages of local government employees; and
WHEREAS, the City of Milpitas recognizes $7.7 million, less expenditures through March 31, 2024, of revenue loss reimbursement that will be used to fund various City staff wages for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, with the precise budget reallocation to be determined as of March 31, 2024; and WHEREAS, this budget action and subsequent movement of various Department City staff expenditures from the General Fund to the ARPA Fund will enable $7.7 million, less expenditures through the end of March 2024, of programs currently budgeted in the ARPA Fund to be budgeted in the General Fund; and
WHEREAS, all the staff positions and respective salaries proposed for reallocation provide a direct service to the community and to the long-term future growth and development of Milpitas, are the face of the City, and perform duties that are the backbone of the City; and
WHEREAS, the recommended budget actions will not affect any services previously authorized by the Council and will result in the expenditure or obligation of all ARPA funds prior to the December 31, 2024 obligation deadline, ensuring compliance with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s guidelines outlined in the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: 2022 Overview of the Final Rule, dated January 2022.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas hereby finds, determines, and resolves as follows:
1. The City Council has considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to it. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
2. The City Council shall approve the reallocation of funding within the American Rescue Plan Act Fund and the General Fund to ensure completion of the programs in the ARPA Investment Plan previously approved by Council. The City shall reallocate the $7.7 million ARPA Fund balance, less expenditures incurred through March 31, 2024, to the City General Fund for the purposes of funding and covering wages associated with various Department City staff for Fiscal Year 2023- 2024, as detailed in Table 1. This budget action and subsequent transfer of various Department City staff expenditures from the General Fund to the ARPA Fund will enable $7.7 million, less expenditures through March 31, 2024, of programs currently budgeted in the ARPA Fund to be budgeted in the General Fund, as shown in Table 2. The precise amount of the budget reallocation will be determined as of March 31, 2024.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Receive Report on Funding for Rent and Mortgage Relief Program and Approve Transfer of $216,125 in Mortgage Relief Funds to Rent Relief (Staff Contact: Alex Andrade, Economic Development Director, 408-586-3046; and Robert Musallam, Housing Division Manager, 408-586-3275)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 4/16/2024
Recommendation: Receive report on funding for Rent and Mortgage Relief Program and approve shift of $216,125.00 in Mortgage Relief Funds to Rent Relief.
BACKGROUND:
On August 9, 2021, City Council received an update on the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funded program. On September 7, 2021, City Council authorized the modification of the Rent Relief Program to the Rent and Mortgage Relief Program funded by ARPA. Of the $1,100,000 appropriated, $150,000 is being utilized to partially fund a 3-year limited term Administrative Analyst within the Housing Division. The remaining $950,000 covers the cost of program administration ($85,500). Per City Council direction, the remaining balance has been distributed with 75% ($648,375) for rent relief and 25% ($216,125) for mortgage relief. The rent relief portion of the program continues to have significant community demand.
ANALYSIS:
Rent Relief
Prior to the approval of additional funding, the City allocated $1,010,696 in rent relief from the Affordable Housing and Community Benefit fund, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, and the competitive grant awards secured from the Santa Clara County Emergency Food and Shelter Program. The original rent relief program provided aid to over 100 Milpitas families and over 300 individuals. The Rent and Mortgage Relief Program was estimated to benefit 130 households with rental assistance and 14 households with mortgage assistance.
In December 2022, the City officially launched the rent portion of the new Rent and Mortgage Relief Program.
To be eligible for rent relief, applicants must be a resident for at least 6 months, have experienced an economic hardship due to COVID-19, and be at or below 120% Area Median Income (AMI). The table below provides the income limits by household size for a family at 120% AMI.
Household Size 1 2 3 4 5 6
120% AMI $141,500 $161,750 $182,000 $202,000 $218,400 $234,500 In March 2023, the City officially launched the mortgage portion of the new Rent and Mortgage Relief Program.
To be eligible for mortgage relief, households must have experienced an economic hardship due to COVID-19, currently own one residential property and it must be primary residence of homeowner(s), has not received other forms of governmental or private assistance for the same period requested, and be at or below the 150% AMI limit for Santa Clara County. The table below provides the income limits by household size for a family at 150% AMI.
Household Size 1 2 3 4 5 6
150% AMI $176,950 $202,200 $227,500 $252,750 $273,000 $293,200
By the end of 2023, the City had provided 91 households with rent relief. City Housing staff and FORWARD, the Rent and Mortgage Relief Program Fiscal Administrator, discussed ways to improve outreach including informing previous recipients as they are eligible again in 2024. In early March 2024, FORWARD informed City staff that outreach was successful, and around 70% of rent relief funds were distributed. FORWARD also informed City staff that there were a number of applications being reviewed for quality assurance and FORWARD anticipated having a rent relief distribution of over 90% by April 2024. As of April 2, 2024, the City has provided 199 households with rent relief. This equates to 94% or $570,184.04 in rent relief funds.
FORWARD informed City staff that they had enough applications in the queue to fully expend all rent relief funds in April 2024.
Mortgage Relief
As of April 2, 2024, the City has received 12 applications for mortgage relief funds and issued no mortgage relief funds due to households being current on payments, requesting more than the maximum payment allowed, or not being Milpitas residents and therefore being ineligible. The City’s maximum of $15,000 in mortgage relief funds were created with the knowledge that the California Mortgage Relief Program is still open and provides up to $80,000 in mortgage relief. The City’s Program Administrator, FORWARD, works with local nonprofit organizations to help connect any resident who is requesting over the City of Milpitas maximum amount with the State’s program for a seamless transition. It should be noted that the City’s Mortgage Relief program specifically prohibits households from accessing both the City’s and the State’s mortgage relief funding. As such, a residents’ inability to access funding from both programs may be contributing to the lack of applicants for the City’s Mortgage Relief program.
Given the City has not been able to approve one eligible Mortgage applicant and the rent relief program is in high demand, Housing staff are recommending re-allocating the full remaining balance of $216,125 in mortgage relief funds towards rent relief.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The allocation for the Rent and Mortgage Relief Program is $1,100,000. Of the $1,100,000 appropriated, $150,000 is being utilized to partially fund a 3-year limited term Administrative Analyst within the Housing Division. The remaining $950,000 is for the Rent and Mortgage Relief program. The cost of program administration is $85,500. Per City Council direction, the remaining balance has been distributed with 75% ($648,375) for rent relief and 25% ($216,125) for mortgage relief. Re-allocation of mortgage relief funding to rent relief does not impact the total revenue and/or appropriation because the City has an executed agreement with FORWARD.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):
The action is a fiscal activity of the City government or an action to create a City government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and is not a project pursuant to Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 14, § 15378.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive report on funding for Rent and Mortgage Relief Program and approve shift of $216,125.00 in Mortgage Relief Funds to Rent Relief.
CITY OF MILPITAS
AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Receive the July – December 2023 Report for Unhoused Services (Staff Contact:
Alex Andrade, Economic Development Director, 408-586-3046; and Robert Musallam, Housing Division Manager, 408-586-3275)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 4/16/2024
Recommendation: Receive the July – December 2023 report for unhoused services.
BACKGROUND:
In 2023, the City’s Point in Time (PIT) count surveying homelessness provided a count of 142 unsheltered individuals. From 2019 to 2023, the City showed an overall increase in PIT count individuals of 14%.
However, year over year, from 2022 to 2023, there was a 48% decrease in PIT count individuals in Milpitas.
The programs below demonstrate the City’s continuing efforts to support the City’s most vulnerable residents.
This report reflects the July - December 2023 progress for unhoused services in the City of Milpitas which consists primarily of two programs (1) Homeless outreach and assessment services and (2) mobile shower and laundry program.
For the homeless outreach and assessment program, City Council approved and authorized staff to enter into an agreement for homeless outreach and assessment services with Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing (OSH) on November 10, 2020. The County’s Homeless Engagement and Access Team (HEAT), via Abode Services, began conducting outreach in March 2021 to engage and provide resources to the City’s unhoused residents. On March 15, 2022, City Council approved using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to continue funding HEAT through December 2023. In late 2023, OSH staff informed City staff that they would be discontinuing the agreement to provide HEAT services to the City of Milpitas as of the end of December 2023. As a result of this, the City has been without a dedicated outreach partner since January 2024. Currently City staff are working on a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new homeless outreach provider which is set to open in April 2024.
For the mobile shower program, City Council directed staff to implement a six-month pilot mobile shower and laundry program on December 1, 2020. The nonprofit service provider, WeHOPE’s Dignity on Wheel program, began providing mobile shower and laundry services every Sunday starting March 21, 2021, on Winsor Street, immediately south of the Milpitas Library. On September 7, 2021, the City Council directed staff to continue the mobile shower and laundry program for an additional 12 months. On September 6, 2022, the City Council approved a continuation of services, and on April 4, 2022, the City Council approved gap funding to cover services through June 30, 2023. In July 2023, the City executed a second contract with WeHOPE for a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000 to continue the mobile shower and laundry program until June 30, 2026 with funding from the State of California, secured for the City by Assemblymember Alex Lee.
ANALYSIS:
Homeless outreach and assessment services
From July - December 2023, the HEAT Team continued to collaborate with City staff and the County Office of Supportive Housing to conduct outreach throughout Milpitas to engage and provide resources to the city’s unhoused residents. The HEAT Team provided basic needs items and transportation resources. The HEAT Team continued to foster rapport with unhoused residents to provide housing and employment resources, as well as to coordinate care with the Office of Supportive Housing. From July – December 2023, the HEAT Team enrolled 30 clients and completed 29 assessments. Adding to 240 clients enrolled and 265 clients assessed
since services began in March 2021, which totals 270 clients enrolled and 294 clients assessed. Since the HEAT Team has been conducting proactive outreach throughout Milpitas, service providers have been able to locate and connect with unhoused residents both at known and new locations. For the unhoused individuals that did not provide identifying information for the HEAT Team to enroll or assess, they provided food, water, and hygiene items. See Attachment 1 for the HEAT Team July – December 2023 reports.
Mobile Shower Program
From July – December 2023, WeHOPE provided 27 sessions to the unhoused community, providing a total of 645 showers and 304 loads of laundry, and serving 332 unduplicated individuals. See Attachment 2 for the WeHOPE Dignity on Wheels July – December 2023 summaries.
In addition to working closely with the above service providers, City departments continued to collaborate in providing assistance to local unhoused residents. For a summary of the various activities and services for Milpitas unhoused residents as described above, refer to Attachment 3 for the July – September 2023 report for unhoused services and Attachment 4 for the October – December 2023 report for unhoused services.

Monthly Reports FY23:
July 2023
In July, the SCC Outreach/HEAT Team received 25 referrals from Milpitas E-Referral source. The team was also connected with J. Macon and T. McLane via K. Luna from Abode, regarding a specific unhoused individual who was at the Barbara Lee Senior Center. The team
collaborated thoroughly with this client’s family and connected with the client over the phone, planning to meet as soon as possible.
The SCC Outreach/HEAT Team had many staff changes in the month prior and continued to add to the team as they onboarded a new Outreach Specialist. This Specialist came to the team with experience in working with adults with SMI and in residential care settings. They are passionate about client care and eager to work within this population, highly capable of working well with clients who are highly vulnerable and experiencing co-occurring disorders.
With a developing team, there were many moving parts as the team learned, re-set and refreshed the components of the outreach execution. All the staff on the team responded to needs in Milpitas in July. Staff shadowed each other and trained out in the field while successfully supporting individuals in need.
SCC Outreach/HEAT Team contacted 11 individuals, visiting one individual, twice. They administered 7 VI-SPDAT assessments throughout the month. Of these assessments, 3 were existing enrollments and qualified for re-assessment. Of these contacts 6 were enrolled in the program. PSH matches were 1 and OSH Clinical Team referrals was 1. The team was unable to locate 11 of the entries on the E-referral source. Of the 25 referrals, 3 referrals were outreached in early August.
The team continued to provide supplies, food & water, clothing, and hygiene items to individuals in Milpitas. One client has been homeless for over 25 years in multiple countries. The team wrapped around this client and supported them in effective and efficient ways. They focused specifically on reducing stigma and discrimination with this client as they seemed to engage reluctantly at first, but soon developed rapport and solid engagement with the team.
The following table reflects the number of outreach contacts per location, the total number of unhoused individuals enrolled into the program, and the number of VI-SPDAT assessments administered.

______________________________________________________________________________ August 2023
In August, the SCC Outreach/HEAT Team received 21 referrals from Milpitas E-Referral Source. The team worked with T. McLane regarding a client who had a particular issue with his rent. With the support of OSH, we were able to clarify his rental situation. The SCC Outreach/HEAT team intentionally connected with the individual who was at the Barbara Lee Senior Center and completed a VI-SPDAT. The team supported this individual with resources and an understanding of housing in SCC, which increased her self-help capabilities.
Two staff on the team focused more intensely on Milpitas referrals to begin building rapport and consistent communication with the individuals in the city. This enabled clients who had been disconnected from the team during the staff transitions to re-engage and begin to develop rapport. The staff reached new clients throughout the city who presented with significant SMI. An example is there was increased garbage in the waterway, near the Milpitas Encampment- Ames Ave which created more e-referrals. The team outreached multiple times and assessed that this individual, though never identified, needed more behavioral health interventions.
The SCC Outreach/HEAT Team continued to develop as a new team by adding another Outreach Specialist to the team. This team member is bilingual and experienced in clinical supervision in their prior role as they worked with children and families in behavioral health.
With this addition to the team, there are now four Outreach Specialists and a Program Manager in the SCC Outreach/HEAT program. The team is continuing to support each other as they work to end homelessness in SCC.
SCC Outreach/HEAT Team made 37 contacts in Milpitas in August. They administered 8 VI-SPDAT assessments throughout the month. Of these assessments, 2 qualified for reassessment. Of these contacts 1 was enrolled in the program. PSH matches were 0 and OSH
Clinical Team referrals was 0. The team was unable to locate 14 of the entries on the E-referral source.
The team continued to provide dignified contact and conversations to the individuals and families in Milpitas. They supplied food, water, and hygiene items to individuals and some transportation. They aimed to increase natural networks of supportive relationships as they worked within client support systems.
The following table reflects the number of outreach contacts per location, the total number of unhoused individuals enrolled into the program, and the number of VI-SPDAT assessments administered.

There is a particularly vulnerable senior client who requested items to maintain her safety and warmth outdoors. The team was able to purchase items and deliver them. She was very grateful. One client whose encampment was near Ames Ave on the railroad tracks, was matched with Permanent Supportive Housing months prior.

CITY OF MILPITAS
AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Approve a Three-Year Professional Services Agreement with Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker LLC for Enterprise Resource Planning Consulting Services and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Contract (Staff Contact: Gabrielle Tsang, Interim Finance Director 408-586-3131; and Kelli Parmley, Human Resources Director 408-586-3086)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 4/16/2024
Recommendation: Approve a three-year professional services agreement with Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker LLC for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Consulting Services for a not-toexceed amount of $375,500.00, authorize the City Manager to execute the contract, with additional authority to approve an optional two years and changes up to 10%.
Background:
On December 12, 2023, the City Council approved the award of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Agreement to Tyler Technologies. The CIP FY23-24 Adopted Budget appropriated sufficient funding for this contract, in addition to the cost of project management.
Effective project management is a critical component of a successful ERP implementation and organizational change management. On behalf of the City, a project manager will work closely with City staff and the Tyler team to monitor the project progress and resolve issues. As such, the City endeavored to solicit a project management consulting firm that specializes in ERP implementation.
The City conducted and successfully completed the solicitation through a Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 24- 065 (ERP Consulting Services), which was published in February 2024.
Analysis:
On February 9, 2024, the City’s Purchasing Division released RFP No. 24-065 (ERP Consulting Services).
The RFP was publicly noticed in accordance with applicable provisions of the City’s Municipal Code, advertised on the City’s website, and emailed to companies registered with the City via the City’s online procurement system (Procurement.OpenGov.com). Upon release, 1,302 firms received notification of the RFP, and fifty-two (52) firms downloaded the RFP documents. One addendum was issued and seven clarifying questions were answered by City staff. Three firms responded to the RFP by the published closing date of February 8, 2024.
Staff evaluated and scored the RFP responses in two rounds of evaluation. The first round of scoring was performed by City of Milpitas Purchasing staff to review the RFP response completeness, and to confirm the RFP was submitted timely. Based on the result of the first-round scoring, the City selected all three vendors for further evaluation:
1. Avero, LLC
2. Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker, LLC
3. SDI Presence
The second round of the scoring was performed by the selection committee. The selection committee was comprised of City staff members from the Finance and Human Resources Departments. The second round of the scoring were based on the following four criteria: 1) Qualifications of the Firm; 2) Project Management Approach; 3) Detailed Work Plan, and; 4) Proposed Compensation. All three vendors were invited to participate in a virtual interview process, and the three proposals were reviewed and scored by the selection committee.
Based on the proposal submitted and subsequent scoring, staff recommends awarding the contract to Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker, LLC (“Berry Dunn”). Berry Dunn is a nationally recognized independent management and IT consulting firm focused on inspiring organizations to transform and innovate. The firm has extensive project management experience, having served more than 650 state, local, and quasi-governmental agencies.
This experience provides them with an in-depth understanding of government operations, budgetary constraints, and the business processes required to provide the necessary services to the City. The firm specializes in software implementation project management/oversight and organizational change management. Additionally, Berry Dunn has experience with all major ERP vendors, including Tyler Technologies (what the City will be implementing) and Cayenta (the City’s current financial management system).
Policy Alternatives:
Alternative 1: Do not award ERP Consulting Services contract to Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker, LLC Pros: Funds would be not spent on this priority.
Cons: The City will not have the resources in place for effective project management in order to ensure successful change management and implementation of an ERP solution.
Reason not recommended: Without a project management consulting firm, it may take longer for the City to implement Tyler Technologies, which ultimately may lead to requiring additional funding in order to complete the implementation. This would delay the City’s ability to benefit from utilizing a modern ERP system with integrated workflows and reporting capabilities.
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient funding has already been appropriated in the FY23-24 Adopted CIP Budget for Project No. 3466 (Financial System Enterprise Resource Planning) and Project No. 3467 (Human Resources Information System). As of April 10, 2024, the balance in Project No. 3466 is $1,506,377.79, and the balance in Project No. 3467 is $769,201.00. Should Council approve this contract, the three-year PSA agreement with Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker LLC for ERP Consulting Services is for a not-to-exceed amount of $375,500.00. Moreover, the City Manager may authorize the optional 2 years and change order authority up to 10%.
Fiscal Summary of Contract (3-years):
Phase I Financial Components
Services Type Role Hourly Rate Support Extended Cost
Project Management Project Manager $250 700 hours $175,000 Other (if applicable)
Contingency* Travel $9,000

California Environmental Quality Act:
The action is an organizational or administrative activity of the City government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is not a project pursuant to Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 14, Section 15378.
Recommendation:
Approve a three-year professional services agreement with Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker LLC for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Consulting Services for a not-to-exceed amount of $375,500.00, authorize the City Manager to execute the contract, with additional authority to approve an optional two years and changes up to 10%.

Consultant's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant, the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers. b.

Methods Contributing to Implementation Success
Project Management
To help ensure that project objectives are met, and initiation and completion of project work are conducted in a timely manner, each BerryDunn project is led by an experienced project manager who understands and utilizes project management best practices. Our Consulting Services Team employs project management best practices from PMI®’s PMBOK® Guide.
Figure 1 illustrates the standards of project management as defined by performance domains and project delivery principles that are critical for effective delivery of project outcomes.
38077.00180\29167975.12 C2
12 Figure 1: Performance Domains and Project Management Guiding Principles | PMBOK® Guide Applicable Collaboration Tools
Our consultants are well-versed in facilitating planning meetings, leading fact-finding sessions, and observing our clients’ business processes firsthand. We believe that, as objective consultants, our approach to conducting projects can be an important vehicle to build awareness among project participants. By involving stakeholders early and often throughout the project, we have seen a greater level of buy-in and support for recommendations, changes, and adoption for the future environment. We will work with the City to identify the communication and awareness needs of each stakeholder or stakeholder group and set forth the method and frequency of communication to meet those needs. By starting the outreach early, stakeholders will have a chance to ask questions, understand what is expected of them in the process, communicate their expectations more clearly, and be better prepared for the commitment of time and energy needed to successfully participate in and/or support the project.
Our consultants strive to avoid unnecessary project delays, enhance productivity, promote collaboration, and minimize barriers to participation, whether in-person or virtually. To that end, we employ software familiar to most users; however, as part of the initial planning process and as needed throughout the project, we will review software preferences and user accessibility needs to help ensure we are meeting the City’s needs.
To that end, we utilize technology that is familiar or intuitive to most users in addition to our project resources assembled from years of public-sector consulting, as detailed below in Figure 2.
38077.00180\29167975.12 C2
13 Figure 2: Technology Toolkit
We are also open to using communication tools suggested by the City.
Change Management
Stakeholders’ willingness to adopt new processes and tools plays a significant role in the success—or failure—of system replacement projects. BerryDunn has observed resistance to change in virtually all our engagements. As such, our project management approach is carefully integrated with change management methodologies to promote buy-in and consensus for the project. We will work with you to proactively address resistance by:
• Engaging stakeholders at the right level throughout the project—from initial planning through implementation—to build understanding for the need for change and gain support from the people who will be using the future solutions and who are most familiar with current processes • Developing and executing a communications plan that considers the information needs of each stakeholder group
• Documenting business processes and working with stakeholders to understand how their work will be performed in the future environment
We have adopted the Prosci® change management methodology and trained over 100 consultants to become Prosci® Certified Change Practitioners (CCPs). A central focus of the Prosci® change management approach is the belief that, for change to work in an organization, individuals must be willing to change and understand change. Additionally, according to research conducted by Prosci®, the likelihood of project success increases significantly and in alignment with the level of change management focus applied to the project. Figure 3, on the following page, shows that even small increases in focus on change management, from “poor” to “fair,” are likely to have a positive impact on system adoption and project success.
Figure 3: Change Management’s Impact on Project Success
38077.00180\29167975.12 C2
14 Consistent with the Prosci® methodology, the City can expect our change management approach to involve three stages:
1. Preparing for Change | Developing change management strategies, based on input from the City’s stakeholders on the existing environment.
2. Managing Change | Overseeing assigned roles and tasks, providing training and coaching, using tools effectively, and executing a clear communication plan.
3. Reinforcing Change | Evaluating action plans, reviewing the sustainability of change management activities, and promoting individual and team successes.
Proactive Challenge Identification and Mitigation
All systems-related projects experience varying challenges and barriers. Some are anticipated and can be planned for, while others the City may have little control over. To help avoid challenges, our team has spent a considerable amount of time considering potential risks that may negatively impact this initiative and strategies that can be used to address them. Below and on the following page, we present potential risks and strategies to mitigate them for the City’s further review and consideration. • Executive Sponsorship. For this project to succeed, City leadership must fully support it and take an active role in key decision-making activities. They must be visible, vocal, and active supporters, communicating the vision for the future. Early on, we will work with City leadership to define their role in effective communications and to gain agreement on the governance and decision-making model employed on the project.
• Effective Project Management. Managing scope, schedule, and budget helps to ensure the project achieves its intended objectives. In the absence of an experienced individual dedicated to performing these activities, timelines may slip (or not be developed); project objectives may be compromised; and cost overruns may be experienced.
• Delays in the Project Timeline. Factors may come into play that will impact the schedule, such as staff availability and time for leadership decision-making related to the project. We will work with the City to mitigate these risks to the timeline through advanced planning and accounting for known absences (such as holidays and vacations) in the schedule, as well as by providing regular updates on progress and relevant matters throughout the project. To address delays over which our team and the City may have less control, we will offer flexibility in how and when we gather the information to keep the project on track.
• Stakeholder Participation. It will be important for the City and key project stakeholder groups to dedicate sufficient resources throughout the duration of the project to help ensure completion of project objectives in a timely manner. We understand that individuals contributing to the initiative have other daily responsibilities that are a priority. As part of our planning activities, we will partner with the City to determine the right staff to involve in each phase of this project based on factors such as subject matter expertise and availability. Our approach attempts to minimize the impact on City staff by having us perform as much work in advance as possible and by engaging stakeholders in ways that promote tangible results and contributions. During project
38077.00180\29167975.12 C2
15 planning, we will also develop a high-level estimate of staffing and resource needs for subsequent project activities and define the roles and time commitments required of each resource. • Managing Expectations. During project initiation, we will review the project timeline with the City to assess its reasonableness and determine if tasks should be extended across a longer period.
In addition, as part of ongoing communication and project management, we will continually assess project progress, factoring in quality. We will raise these risks with the City early to determine the best approach for mitigation, constantly keeping our eye on the bigger picture. • Project Governance and Decision-Making. An effective governance structure must be established to guide project efforts, make key decisions, and help manage risks and issues.
Establishing a governance committee with clear roles, responsibilities, and lines of authority will help prevent project delays due to lack of decision-making—or decisions being made without appropriate authority and/or key stakeholder inputs. We will discuss the project’s governance structure with the City—and make recommendations accordingly—during project initiation. • OCM. BerryDunn has experienced resistance to change in nearly all our engagements, reinforcing our belief that the management of change is crucial to the success of such an initiative. Often, organizations have developed and adhered to existing processes over the course of several years, and staff are reluctant to change their way of doing things. Our team, which includes Prosci® CCPs, is qualified to provide change management structure to this project, where appropriate, in collaboration with the City. It is important for City leaders, frontline managers, and supervisors to understand the drivers of this resistance. Resistance can come from many areas, including staff fears that they will not be able to perform their new responsibilities, their role will be diminished in importance, and/or they may lose their job. That said, it is also important to include staff’s input into the assessment so they feel more invested in the changes occurring. Communicating the value of the change by explaining what is in it for staff is a critical component of moving staff along the change management path. We will remain cognizant of, and sensitive to, these factors and perceptions in our communications from project initiation to implementation. Our specific methods to facilitate OCM, including tools, timelines, challenges, and opportunities, are embedded in the work we do, and are contained in our work plan approach below.
Work Plan
BerryDunn strives to be flexible when it comes to development and execution of an effective work plan.
We understand that no two projects are exactly alike and believe that one of the primary reasons we have been successful with similar projects is our willingness to be flexible in adapting to our clients’ unique needs.
The overarching benefits the City can expect of our approach include:
• A proven yet flexible methodology
• Quality assurance processes
• Built-in project management and change management best practices • Thorough business process improvement activities
• A focus on taking full advantage of the newest technology and harnessing efficiencies • An ability to satisfy all requirements set forth in the City’s scope of work Figure 4 presents an overview of our work plan intended to achieve the City’s goals and objectives for this important initiative.
Figure 4: Work Plan Overview
38077.00180\29167975.12 C2
16 Details
Below and on the following pages, we provide details of our work plan to conduct the City’s project effectively and efficiently as described in Figure 4.
Phase I: Project Initiation
1.1 Conduct initial project planning and review documentation. We will conduct an initial project planning teleconference with the City’s project team to introduce key team members, clarify goals and objectives, identify known project constraints, and refine dates and/or tasks, as appropriate. We will discuss our approach for managing communications, scope, risks, and resources. We will also request names and contact information for the appropriate City staff members involved in the project.
We will also develop and provide an information request to collect project documentation including:
• Any applicable RFP/proposal documents leading up to the selection of Tyler for the project • Tyler order form
• Statements of work and relevant project documentation After reviewing this documentation, we will facilitate an initial project meeting with the City’s project team to go over any questions on the documentation provided.
1.2 Develop a Project Management Plan and Project Charter. Based on the information gathered from our initial project planning teleconference, we will develop a Project Management Plan and Project Charter. In addition to the components gathered from Task 1.1, the Project Management Plan and will address our approach to providing the services requested by the City, the agreed-upon time frame for each task, and agreed-upon procedures between our project team and the City’s related to project control, including quality management and deliverable submission/acceptance management. It will also address our role in coordinating City resources across modules, phases, and activities.
We will draft a Project Charter that encompasses the full scope of City’s implementation. This governance document will include a change management plan, stakeholder register, communication plan, risk and issues register, and status report templates. We will provide the Project Management Plan and Project Charter in draft versions to the City and facilitate a remote session with the City’s project team and OCM team to discuss the documents and collect feedback. We will then update the documents and submit them to the City in final form.
1.3 Develop a change management strategy memo. We will facilitate a change management team meeting and develop a change management strategy memo to define what will be rolled out, to whom, how, and when in the process. Recognizing that it is one of the City’s priorities to support and guide employees in their roles to make this project a success—thereby making employees feel cared for, valued, respected, and in turn their customers—it is important to intentionally plan for the people side of change that comes with implementing a new ERP system. We provide the change management strategy memo.
Deliverable 1: Project Management Plan and Project Charter
38077.00180\29167975.12 C2
17 Phase II. Implementation Project Management
2.1 Develop and maintain an implementation project plan and resource plan. We will provide an indepth review of the Tyler’s implementation plans, including the management plan, project plan, and resource plan. We will discuss our recommended changes and considerations with City’s project team before communicating requested changes to Tyler. The goal is to collaboratively discuss preferred changes based upon City’s, Tyler’s, and BerryDunn’s collective experience and perspective for the most advantageous end products.
Following the review of the Tyler’s plans, we will develop any necessary supplemental materials we believe to be critical to City’s implementation. These may include further definition of stakeholders, risk management, project documentation, and other items such as a process and approval matrix to help ensure that scope change and budget are transparent and handled effectively and efficiently. The content areas will be determined by what is included in Tyler’s plans with the goal of removing any redundancy that might cause confusion to project stakeholders. This documentation will be reviewed and confirmed with City’s project team before being put into use.
2.2. Conduct implementation activities. One of the keys to project success is enabling City’s teams to take on appropriate roles and responsibilities and to make informed decisions for both implementation and long-term operational success and ownership of the software. Our project management approach is designed with this in mind. We will provide specialized expertise throughout the project.
Throughout the implementation, we will bring our prior implementation, local government, and OCM experience to provide a forward-looking perspective, reduce risk, and promote the achievement of the goals and objectives for the project. We anticipate being involved in the following key project management activities of the implementation, as shown below and on the following page.

This work session will involve discussing project lessons learned in each phase, measuring achievement of project goals and objectives, discussing incomplete implementation tasks, and conducting transition planning for moving to long-term operation of the ERP solution and associated policies and processes. We will document all the items discussed in a Project Closeout Memo.
3.2 Develop a Project Phase Closeout Memo. Based on the information gathered from our closeout work session, BerryDunn will develop a Project Closeout Memo, which will document lessons learned in each phase, compare project outcomes to project goals and objectives, list any remaining action items to conclude the implementation, and identify tasks, roles, and responsibilities for transitioning to operational use of the ERP solution and associated policies and processes.

Business Travel Policy
1. Air Travel
A. Reservations & Tickets
The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct flight within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100 (each way) of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible through a connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure time and that does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the connecting flight should be accepted.
Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement is mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be required.
Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or more consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable. Employees shall not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-refundable and have many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings.
B. Baggage Fees
Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows:
• Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag
• Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags
Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable.

2 2. Ground Transportation
A. Private Automobile
Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at the current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be calculated by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with IRS regulations.
Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles from their home.
B. Rental Car
Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost, convenience, and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for Tyler business, employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may be rented when three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle coverage for business car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally (excluding Canada), additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined.
C. Public Transportation
Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to and from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical. The actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel shuttle to the airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed separately.
D. Parking & Tolls
When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured in days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used. For extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from the airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented.
3. Lodging
Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and conveniently located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount rate with a local hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should confirm the lower rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such as AAA should be noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any lower club rates. “No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the hotel’s cancellation policy.
Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed separately.

Exhibit C
2 When oursupport team receives a call from you that Downtime has occurred or is occurring, we will work with you to identify the cause of the Downtime (including whether it may be the result of Planned Downtime, a Client Error Incident, denial of service attack or Force Majeure). We will also work with you to resume normal operations.
c. Client Relief
Our targeted Attainment Goal is 100%. You may be entitled to credits as indicated in the Client Relief Schedule found below. Your relief credit is calculated as a percentage of the SaaS Fees paid for the calendar month.
In order to receive relief credits, you must submit a request through one of the channels listed in our Support Call Process within fifteen days (15) of the end of the applicable month. We will respond to your relief request within thirty (30) day(s) of receipt.
The total credits confirmed by us will be applied to the SaaS Fee for the next billing cycle. Issuing of such credit does not relieve us of our obligations under the Agreement to correct the problem which created the service interruption.
Credits are only payable when Actual Attainment results in eligibility for credits in consecutive months and only for such consecutive months.
Client Relief Schedule
Actual Attainment Client Relief
99.99% - 99.70% Remedial action will be taken
99.69% - 98.50% 2% of SaaS Fees paid for applicable month

2 support staff after normal business hours for reporting Priority Level 1 Defects only. Upon receipt of such a Defect notification, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the resolution targets set forth below.
We will also make commercially reasonable efforts to be available for one pre-scheduled Saturday of each month to assist your IT staff with applying patches and release upgrades, as well as consulting with them on server maintenance and configuration of the Tyler Software environment.
Incident Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case number, through Tyler’s Customer Portal or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client’s needs. Tyler and the Client will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only.
References to a “confirmed support incident” mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated the reported Defect/support incident.

Part 1: Executive Summary
Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler’s end-to-end solutions empower public sector entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across disparate systems, Tyler’s solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their communities.
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler and the City of Milpitas (collectively the “Project”).
The overall goals of the project are to:
▪ Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget ▪ Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive ▪ Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs ▪ Overcome current challenges and meet future goals
This is accomplished by the City of Milpitas and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its depth of implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler’s six-stage methodology.
Each of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes a narrative description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix.
Tailored specifically for Tyler’s public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, timeline controls, effective communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across Phases, and is scaled to meet the City of Milpitas’s complexity and organizational needs.
DocuSignEnvelopeID:4A74E55D-2411-47CF-94AC-F257532B1311
City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 2
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple-phase projects.
To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both the City of Milpitas and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the City of Milpitas and Tyler Project teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler’s Implementation process is to employ an iterative model where the City of Milpitas’s business processes are assessed, configured, validated, and refined cyclically in line with the project budget. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.
The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure Project success. As illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to complete the Project efficiently and effectively.

Part 2: Project Foundation
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of Project governance is to provide a decision-making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project related activities.
This section outlines the resources required to meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities for the Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate & Plan Stage.
The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the City of Milpitas collaborate to resolve Project challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers do not possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation management and the City of Milpitas Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the City of Milpitas and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each Project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The City of Milpitas and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.

Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 4
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project: budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the “triple constraints” or project management triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs.
Scope is defined as the work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle, the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased, cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall Scope.
A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using the change control process outlined in the following section.
It may become necessary to change the scope of this Project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new constraints or opportunities are discovered). This Project is being undertaken with the understanding that Project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change to produce optimal results for stakeholders. Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the final contract, and as described below.
Should the need for a change to Project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the Project, the change will be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee and an assessment of the change will occur. While such changes may result in additional costs and delays relative to the schedule, some changes may result in less cost to the City of Milpitas; for example, the City of Milpitas may decide it no DocuSignEnvelopeID:4A74E55D-2411-47CF-94AC-F257532B1311
City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following information:
▪ The nature of the change.
▪ A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to the City of Milpitas, if any. ▪ The timetable for implementing the change.
▪ The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
The City of Milpitas will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request within ten (10) Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and the City of Milpitas). Any changes to the Project scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in writing using a Change Request form. These changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of Work and will supersede any conflicting term in the Statement of Work.

City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 6
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success of the Project that each City of Milpitas office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the City of Milpitas will identify representative project managers. These individuals will represent the interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.
The coordination of gaining City of Milpitas feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of the Project. The City of Milpitas project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized City of Milpitas representatives. Given that the designated decision-maker for each department may not always be available, there must be a designated proxy for each decision point in the Project. Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the leadership from each City of Milpitas department. The proxies will be named individuals that have the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department.
The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
▪ The City of Milpitas shall have ten (10) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point. If the City of Milpitas does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within ten (10) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
▪ If the City of Milpitas does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the City of Milpitas shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within ten (10) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, of receipt of the Deliverable.
▪ Tyler shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The City of Milpitas shall then have five (5) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If the City of Milpitas does not provide acceptance within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for the City of Milpitas and Tyler. Roles and responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at the City of Milpitas, but are roles defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on both the Tyler and City of Milpitas project teams to fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some roles to be filled by multiple people.
DocuSignEnvelopeID:4A74E55D-2411-47CF-94AC-F257532B1311
City of Milpitas, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 7
Tyler assigns a project manager 45 days prior to the start of each Phase of the Project (some Projects may only be one Phase in duration). Additional Tyler resources are assigned as the schedule develops and as needs arise.
Tyler executive management has indirect involvement with the Project and is part of the Tyler escalation process. This team member offers additional support to the Project team and collaborates with other Tyler department managers as needed to escalate and facilitate implementation Project tasks and decisions.

Part 3: Project Plan
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by the City of Milpitas.

The City of Milpitas and Tyler will evaluate current state processes, options within the new software, pros and cons of each based on current or desired state and make decisions about the future state configuration and processing. This may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work package. The options within the new software will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will make use of standard Tyler functionality.
The City of Milpitas will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule and quality risk from over customization of Tyler products. It is the City of Milpitas’s responsibility to verify that in-scope requirements are being met throughout the implementation if functional requirements are defined as part of the contract. The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating if a modification to the product is required:
▪ A reasonable business process change is available.
▪ Functionality exists which satisfies the requirement. ▪ Configuration of the application satisfies the requirement. ▪ An in-scope modification satisfies the requirement.
Requirements that are not met and not responded with a “Y” or “F” or “R” in Tyler’s Requirements response of the RFP will follow the agreed upon change control process and can have impacts on the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.
