AGENDA ITEMS
1. Receive Presentation on the FY 2024-25 Proposed City of Milpitas Operating Budget and Provide Direction (Staff Contact: Luz Cofresí-Howe, Finance Director, 408-586-3111) City Manager Thomas introduced the item and acknowledged Finance staff for their efforts in the creation of the budget. Finance Director Cofresí-Howe provided an overview of how a budget is formulated.
Mayor Montano questioned about interest collected on reserves.
Assistant City Manager Cano continued the report.
Recreation and Community Services Director Lorentzen presented on the Special Events calendar.
Mayor Montano questioned the popularity and cost of the events. Recreation and Community Services Director Lorentzen highlighted that the listed events were indeed the most popular and that even events with charges still offer some portions free to the public.
Assistant City Manager Cano presented on the Community Investment Fund program. He noted that staff is asking for feedback on the proposed programs and that a report to rank and prioritize them would return to the City Council in August.
Councilmember Barbadillo inquired about the portion of the proposed budget funded by the Community Investment Fund and Measure F. City Manager Thomas and Assistant City Manager Cano clarified that the Community Investment Funds are not included in the operating budget, while Measure F constitutes approximately seven million dollars. Councilmember Barbadillo requested a comparison of budget allocations with other cities, particularly focusing on whether their top three allocations align with Milpitas in non-departmental, police, and public works. He also raised concerns about revenue sources, particularly regarding one-time and ongoing development fees, and questioned their integration into the ten-year budget forecast. He expressed skepticism about the sustainability of development at the current pace.
Vice Mayor Chua followed up, suggesting the City conduct a financial stress test to mimic the conditions that existed during the pandemic. Finance Director Cofresí-Howe responded that the forecast is considered a basic form of stress test. The Vice Mayor asked to conduct an extreme stress test. City Manager Thomas proposed contingency planning if the extension of Measure F does not pass.
Mayor Montano questioned incoming property taxes from the development of apartments and condos.
Assistant City Manager Cano noted that generally housing costs the city more money than property taxes bring in due to the services needed for support, unless it is high density housing. Economic Development Director Andrade responded that the top ten property taxpayers in Milpitas are mainly industrial. Mayor Montano asked after the Special Projects Associate position in the City Manager's Office organizational chart. Assistant City Manager Cano detailed the responsibilities of the position to make up for reduced capacity and work on council priority projects.
Community Investment Fund
Vice Mayor Chua asked for a financial stress test and to allocate $5,000.00 for the Milpitas Concert Band so members don't have to pay membership fees.
Mayor Montano asked to add to the list for consideration of adding $50,000 - $100,000.00 for Strategic Property Acquisition Revenue Fund, to allocate funding for the design and development of an
May 14, 2024 Milpitas City Council Minutes Page 3
amphitheater or community space on the north side of City Hall, and to continue the street cleaning pilot program.
Councilmember Lien suggested including the following for consideration of allocation from the Community Investment Fund: CIP Grant Matching and acquiring a backup ambulance.
Councilmember Barbadillo inquired after county ambulance services. Fire Chief Schoonover responded that Santa Clara County's EMS provider, AMR, faces staffing issues leading to frequent delays in Milpitas. To address the risk of its single fire department ambulance failing, Milpitas seeks a reserve ambulance. While the current ambulance handles 2,000 calls and transports 150 patients annually, recent contract changes allow city ambulances to transport patients due to county shortages. The proposed reserve ambulance would offer crucial backup, ensuring reliable EMS for Milpitas.
City Manager's Office
Assistant City Manager Cano provided an overview of the changes proposed to the City Manager's Office budget and organizational chart.
Vice Mayor Chua asked after the recommended changes to the Economic Development Director and Housing Manager positions. Assistant City Manager Cano noted that the Economic Development position was being brought in line with the compensation of other department directors and that the Housing Manager position would be right-sized and report directly to the City Manager's Office.
Councilmember Barbadillo questioned the fiscal impact of the position change.
Councilmember Phan thanked staff for their work. He followed up asking about what other changes were possible thanks to defending positions. He voiced concerns for staff morale and voiced support for the proposed budget.
Human Resources
Vice Mayor Chua asked after current vacancies. Human Resources Director Parmley noted that there are around 30 positions vacant. The Vice Mayor recommended outsourcing temporary recruitment efforts to address the high number of vacancies within the city Recreation
Recreation and Community Services Director Lorentzen spoke on requests for service enhancements in the budget.
Vice Mayor Chua suggested hiring a consultant to conduct a facility study and provide recommendations for maximizing the usage of city facilities, such as the senior center, sports center, and community center. She noted that the recommendation should be added for consideration of allocation from the Community Investment Fund.
Finance
Vice Mayor Chua voiced support for adding a full time buyer. She recommended to evaluate and document procurement processes to ensure proper authorizations, audit trails, and compliance.
Police
Vice Mayor Chua asked if the department need additional Automated License Plate Readers. Chief of Police Hernandez noted that there is currently a request for an additional twenty cameras through a grant. He expressed his intention to continue funding the program through the grant process.
City Manager Thomas offered closing remarks.

5. Authorize the Reallocation of Money Appropriated in the FY23/24 Budget from the Legacy Special Council Provider to the Current Special Council Provider and Approve and Authorize the City Attorney and City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Contract with Meyers Nave for Contracted Outside Counsel (Staff Contact: Michael Mutalipassi, City Attorney, 408-586-3040) Councilmember Phan asked for additional information on the request. City Attorney Mutalipassi noted that this item recommends reallocating funds from one legal firm to another for special projects within the city's budget. The funds in question were initially designated for legal services provided by a legacy firm, BBK. However, all projects with BBK have been completed, prompting the need to transfer the remaining budgeted funds to another legal firm, Meyers-Nave, which has been providing legal services to the city on an as-needed basis.
Councilmember Phan asked for clarification on the services provided by the law firm. City Attorney Mutalipassi explained that the special projects covered by this budget allocation include various legal matters such as HR-related issues, Public Records Act projects, matters with the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB), and arbitrations involving disputes with unions. He emphasized that the funds
May 21, 2024 Milpitas City Council Minutes Page 5
being reallocated are already part of the city attorney's budget, not new appropriations, and that the reallocation and amendment to the contract are necessary to cover ongoing legal work.
Councilmember Phan suggested the request should go through the budget process and stated he could not support the item.
Vice Mayor Chua clarified that the funds are not proposed but from an existing budget.
Councilmember Barbadillo asked for clarification on the budgeting process for special counsel services, highlighting confusion about funds allocated in previous fiscal years. City Attorney Mutalipassi noted that the budget for the new special counsel was already accounted for in the city attorney's budget. The Councilmember questioned the need for the reallocation if funds were already budgeted, prompting clarification that the amendment is to switch contracts, not allocate new funds. Further discussion ensued regarding the necessity of the reallocation and its impact on the budget. City Attorney Mutalipassi emphasized that without approval, the special counsel work cannot proceed, indicating the urgency of the decision.
There were the following public speakers:
1. Voltaire Montemayor
After discussion, motion: to (1) Authorize the reallocation of money appropriated in the FY-23/24 budget from the legacy special council provider to the current special council provider and approve; (2) Approve an amendment to the contract with Meyers Nave for contracted outside counsel in the amount of $90,000; and (3) Authorize the City Attorney and City Manager to execute the amended agreement..

Assistant Finance Director Tsang offered introductory remarks, and ClearSource Consultant Terry Madsen presented the report.
Mayor Montano opened the public hearing.
There were the following public speakers:
1. Voltaire Montemayor
Mayor Montano closed the public hearing.
Vice Mayor Chua questioned the percentage increase for fees and asked how the City compares to other cities in terms of fees. Assistant Finance Director Tsang noted that the City anticipates approximately $700,000.00 per year in new revenue from the fee increases. ClearSource Consultant Terry Madsen noted that when the city completed a cost of service study, it was confirmed that the City fees were in alignment with the region. He noted that this update is an interim year update and only an inflationary adjustment.
Councilmember Barbadillo raised concerns about the fiscal impact of adjusting service fees, particularly how it affects different departments and the community. He questioned if these adjustments, which include minor increases for building permits, recreation, police, and fire services, would impact residents unduly, particularly with recent budget discussions. He followed up, questioning the timing of this information, suggesting it should have been part of the budget discussion, especially when addressing employee compensation. Assistant City Manager Matt Cano, joined by Recreation and Community Services Director Lorentzen, explained that cost recovery models are standard to ensure public funds aren't subsidizing private benefits, and the city aims to minimize public impact through scholarships and other programs. Any fee increases are necessary to avoid cutting other city services.
May 21, 2024 Milpitas City Council Minutes Page 7
Vice Mayor Chua questioned why increases are being proposed to the fee schedule. ClearSource Consultant Terry Madsen clarified that most fees remain unchanged and that new categories are being added to capture non-resident fees. He noted that the majority of the fees proposed for increase are development related.
Councilmember Lien made a motion: to adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2024-25 User and Regulatory Fee Schedule. Vice Mayor Chua seconded the motion. Vice Mayor Chua asked Councilmember Barbadillo if there were specific concerns he wanted addressed.
Councilmember Barbadillo suggested the item needed more discussion before the City Council could take action.
ClearSource Consultant Terry Madsen proposed adjusting the fees by 3.6% to bring them in line with the local CPI.
Councilmember Barbadillo questioned the impact if the User and Regulatory Fee Schedule wasn't approved at this meeting. Assistant Finance Director Tsang noted that some fees require an extended period before they can be enacted so they couldn’t be captured at the start of the new budget period.
Vice Mayor Chua asked when the item could next be heard. City Clerk Guzzetta clarified the noticing period. It was concluded the next possible meeting would be the regular City Council meeting of June 18, 2024.
Upon a call for the question, the motion failed.

CITY OF MILPITAS
AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Calling for the General Municipal Election on November 5, 2024 (Staff Contact: Suzanne Guzzetta, City Clerk, 408-586-3001) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 6/18/2024
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution calling a General Municipal Election for the City of Milpitas on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, requesting consolidation of the election in accordance with California Elections Code Section 10418, and requesting services from the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters.
Background:
Milpitas Municipal Code Title I, Chapter 200 Section 1.00 outlines the provisions for the municipal election to be conducted on the same day as the statewide General Election. The City will hold a general municipal election on November 5, 2024, for the purpose of electing two (2) Councilmembers and one (1) Mayor. Those councilmember and mayoral seats are currently held by Vice Mayor Chua, Councilmember Phan, and Mayor Montano respectively. The at-large Mayoral seat is elected for a two (2) year term ending in 2026 and the two (2) City Council seats are for four (4)-year terms ending in 2028.
Pursuant to Section 10002 of the Elections Code of the State of California, the governing body of a City is empowered to request, via resolution, the County Board of Supervisors to permit the County elections official to render special services to the City related to the conduct of elections. Upon approval, this resolution will be submitted to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors for consolidation approval. The County requires this resolution be submitted by July 3, 2024.
Analysis:
A resolution has been drafted calling for the municipal election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, for the purposes of electing the Mayor and two (2) members of the City Council. The resolution also requests consolidation of the Municipal Election with the statewide General Election and requests provision of election services from the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters.
The nomination period for the November 5, 2024 election commences at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, July 15, 2024, and concludes at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 9, 2024. The City Clerk’s Office will be available for appointments during this period from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the event that an eligible incumbent fails to file nomination papers by the August 9th deadline, the nomination period will be extended exclusively for nonincumbent candidates until Wednesday, August 14, 2024.
Each Candidate has the option to include a Candidate’s Statement in the sample ballot. In June 2006, the Milpitas City Council adopted Resolution No. 7597 defining guidelines for Candidates’ Statements of Qualifications printed in the sample ballot for municipal elections. This resolution sets forth the total number of words permitted in a Candidate’s Statement (200) and that the candidate is responsible for the cost of printing and mailing the statement as well as the translation into languages other than English. The estimated cost of the Candidate Statement is $3,400. The federal Voting Rights Act Section 203 requirements apply to Santa Clara County and mandate that election materials be made available in four languages: Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
The City Council may also submit ballot measure(s) for the November 2024 election. In the event of such submission, the Council will take action through separate resolution(s) and/or ordinance(s), subsequently submitting them to the County Board of Supervisors and Elections Department within the prescribed deadlines for inclusion on the ballot.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost of the 2024 municipal election is $192,945 and is included in the FY 2024-25 Proposed Operating Budget. The amount is only an estimate provided by the Register of Voters Office as of February 27, 2024, and may change upon the adoption of the revised Santa Clara County Fee Schedule or subject to change upon final billing. The County of Santa Clara Registrar of Voters shall invoice the City for all related costs after the election is concluded. Election costs are determined by several factors including administrative cost, number of registered voters, and printing of sample ballots. Per Resolution 7597, Candidates are responsible for the cost for Candidate’s Statement in the ballot pamphlet if they choose to submit one. Any subsequent ballot measure(s) placed on the November 5, 2024 ballot would be an additional election expense.
California Environmental Quality Act:
The calling of a municipal election is not considered a project, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
Recommendation:
Adopt a resolution calling a General Municipal Election for the City of Milpitas on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, requesting consolidation of the election in accordance with California Elections Code Section 10418, and requesting services from the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters.

The summit’s preliminary agenda is included in the agenda packet.
The Continuing Legal Education International (CLEI) has been a provider of continuing professional education programs throughout the United States and Canada since 1983.

Continued conference participation and attendance also ensure that the Milpitas community is fully represented at the regional, state, and national levels.

AGENDA REPORT

Item Title: FY 2023-24 Financial Status Report for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024 (Staff Contact: Luz Cofresí-Howe, Finance Director, 408-586-3111) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: Review the FY 2023-24 Quarterly Financial Status Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
BACKGROUND:
On June 6, 2023, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Adopted Operating Budget in the amount of $231.9 million and the General Fund Budget in the amount of $129.5 million. After adoption of the budget, staff monitors revenues and expenditures for all funds with an emphasis on the General Fund and Enterprise (Water and Sewer) Funds.
ANALYSIS:
This staff report provides a quarterly update on budget versus actual revenues and expenditures of the General, Water and Sewer Funds, the City’s major operating funds. The summary information below, as well as the attachments, comprise the FY 2023-24 Quarterly Financial Status Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Major revenue sources and expenditures for these funds are discussed below. The attachments provide a detailed summary of budget vs. actual revenues and expenditures for the third quarter of FY 2023- 24, as well as prior year actuals for comparison purposes.
General Fund
On June 6, 2023, the City Council approved the FY 2023-24 Adopted Operating General Fund Budget in the amount of $129.5 million. As of March 31, 2024, the City received $74.2 million in revenues, or 58.0% of the FY 2023-24 amended revenue budget, and incurred $98.0 million in expenditures, or 74.1% of the FY 2023-24 amended expenditure budget. Revenues and expenditures are seasonal, with cash flow fluctuations due to timing of revenue receipts and respective City services rendered. As such, the actual percentage of revenues may not match that of expenditures (e.g., 58.0% revenues vs. 74.1% expenditures through March 31, 2024).
Revenues
For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the General Fund has received $74.2 million, or 58.0% of the FY 2023-24 amended revenue budget of $127.8 million. Overall, General Fund revenues are 2.3% less than last year at the same time, mainly due to lower intergovernmental (grants, federal contributions), sales tax, licenses, permits and fine collections. The FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget assumed higher, recovering revenues, which is discussed further below by major categories.
• Property Taxes and Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund: Most property tax revenue is received in December and April. The revenue forecast estimates $46.0 million in total property tax revenue for the City of Milpitas based on the County of Santa Clara (County) projections. Given the County’s May 3, 2024 update, the County’s property tax projections (net of administrative expense) are $2.9 million higher than the amended budget of $46.0 million. However, such variance primarily relates to the ERAF allocation which is involved in ongoing litigation. The County continues to advise its ERAF recipients to exclude 30% from its respective budget and appropriations actions as a reserve against a potential adverse finding in the ERAF case. The City has done so, with a 30% contingency in the budget for this revenue. City staff continues to monitor this matter.
• Sales & Use Tax: Sales tax is usually collected two months in arrears. As of March 31, 2024, the City has received seven months of sales tax receipts. Revenues are 13.6% lower than last year at the same time due to business closures, declines in electrical equipment sales, and a slowdown of autotransportation related sales. Building materials purchases also have decreased from the prior year. • Sales & Use Tax – Measure F: The district tax became operative April 1, 2021 and sunsets on March 31, 2029. As of March 31, 2024, the City has received seven months of sales tax receipts for Measure F. Revenues are 3.7% lower than last year at the same time. • Franchise Fees: Franchise fees are typically received a month in arrears. Sanitation franchise fees attributed to March have not yet been received. Revenue is trending 9.5% higher when compared to last year, due to higher receipt of garbage debris box fees. • Transient Occupancy Tax: Revenues are 4.4% lower than last year at the same time. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) taxes typically are received a month in arrears. TOT revenues may not recover to pre-pandemic revenue levels as personal and business travel and lodging patterns remain altered.
Staff will continue to monitor this decrease in revenue. • License, Permits & Fines: Revenues are 8.7% lower than last year at the same time due to fewer building permits issued. Developer and builder project-delivery timelines vary on a case-by-case basis and are seldom within City control. However, based on recent information received from developers and builders, the City expects an increase in building permit requests in FQ4 of FY 2023-24 and FQ1 of FY 2024-25.
• Charges for Services: Revenues are 5.5% lower than last year at the same time, primarily due to the decrease in After-the-Bell (ATB) program sites, leading to fewer students being served. ATB program sites were reduced this fiscal year due to the Milpitas Unified School District state-imposed requirement to host the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) at all elementary school sites vs. ATB.
Thus, fewer students are being served by ATB than originally projected for FY 2023-24. • Use of Money and Property: Revenues are two times higher than last year at the same time, as the City’s investment portfolio is earning significantly higher income than last year. This uptick in income is primarily due to the rise in market interest rates because of tighter Federal policy designed to combat inflation.
Expenditures
For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the General Fund utilized $98.0 million, or 74.1%, of the FY 2023- 24 amended operating budget of $132.3 million. The amended operating budget represents $129.5 million of the adopted appropriation and $2.0 million of carryover encumbrances. As of March 31, 2024, General Fund expenditures are consistent with the prior year as a percentage expended of the budget. Staff will continue to monitor expenditures relative to Council authorized appropriations.
Grants and Donations
In accordance with City Council approved Budget Guidelines, the City Manager has the authority to accept grants and donations up to $100,000. Staff is reporting on acceptance of these grants and donations for this quarter.
• Milpitas Arts and Culture In-Kind Grant - $1,064
Unanticipated Expenditure Reserve
In accordance with the City Council approved Budget Guidelines, as part of the quarterly financial status reports, staff is reporting on the Unanticipated Expenditure Reserve for this quarter. There were no new appropriations and/or contracts authorized for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Water Maintenance & Operation (M&O) Fund Financial Status Revenues: For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, $24.4 million of charges for services, or 72.3%, of the $33.7 million amended budget has been received. Total revenue received amounts to $25.1 million, or 73.6%, of the $34.2 million amended budget.
Expenditures: For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, $31.3 million, or 92.3%, of the $33.9 million amended budget has been spent and/or encumbered. The Santa Clara Valley Water District and San Francisco Water Department wholesale water purchase contract encumbrances were posted for the full year in FQ1 FY 2023-24.
Sewer Maintenance & Operation (M&O) Fund Financial Status Revenues: For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, $18.2 million of charges for services, or 77.2%, of the $23.5 million amended budget has been received. Total revenue received amounts to $18.5 million, or 77.8%, of the $23.8 million amended budget.
Expenditures: For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, $15.7 million, or 91.2%, of the $17.2 million amended budget has been spent and/or encumbered. The City of San José wastewater treatment contract encumbrance was posted for the full year in FQ1 FY 2023-24.

Item Title: Approve an Agreement with Xerox Corporation For Full-Service Lease Of Copier/Multifunction Digital Devices (Staff Contact: Luz Cofresí-Howe, Finance Director; 408-586-3111)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 6/4/2024
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute a cooperative agreement with Xerox Corporation for a full-service lease of copier/multifunction digital devices through a cooperative procurement contract by Region 4 Educational Services Center for an amount not-to-exceed $368,000 for 60 months [five (5) years] with change order authority up to 10%, subject to the annual appropriation of funds BACKGROUND:
The City requires copier/multifunction digital devices for Citywide day-to-day operations. The City executed the current Contract No. R150302 with Xerox Corporation on July 1, 2019, for a 60-month full-service lease of 22 copier/multifunction digital devices in various configurations. The current agreement expires on June 30, 2024.
The City of Milpitas Municipal Code Section I-2-3.05(d) (“Public Agency Purchases”) authorizes the Purchasing Agent to make purchases based on an agreement or cooperative purchasing program entered into by a public agency, as defined by Government Code Section 6500, regardless of whether the City is a named party to the agreement or an actual participant in such a program, provided the underlying purchase was made using competitive negotiation or bidding procedures at least as restrictive as the City’s.
OMNIA Partners is a shared services and supply chain optimization company, which began operations on January 1, 2019, dedicated to public procurement. Each contract in the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract portfolio has been competitively solicited by a lead public agency. OMNIA Partners does not conduct solicitations but rather partner with various public agencies in soliciting cooperative contracts. All contracts solicited, issued, and awarded by lead public agencies are in full force and effect in accordance with the respective contract terms and conditions.
On June 1, 2020, Region 4 Education Service Center (“Region 4 ESC”) issued on behalf of itself, other government agencies, non-profits, and all members of OMNIA, a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) #19-11. As a result of that solicitation, Region 4 ESC awarded to Xerox Corporation Contract No. R191104 entitled “Copiers and Printers” which includes copier/multifunction digital devices and full-service maintenance. The contract term is from June 1, 2020, for three years to May 31, 2023, with two, one-year extensions through May 31, 2025.
ANALYSIS:
The City executed Contract No. R150302 with Xerox Corporation on July 1, 2019, for the 60-month full-service lease of 22 copier/multi-function devices of various configurations. These 22 copier/printer machines are now at end of life and experiencing regular breakdowns and poor copy quality.
Region 4 ECS meets the definition of a public agency as defined by Government Code section 6500. OMNIA Partners makes Contract No. R191104 available through its cooperative purchasing organization to all its public
agency members. Pursuant to Contract No. R191104, the City of Milpitas 60-month (5-year) contract amount is estimated to be $368,000 varying on use, and will extend beyond the termination of Contract No. R191104; However, per Contract No. R191104 Item #6.2 (Survivor Clause):
“All applicable software license agreements, warranties or service agreements that were entered into between Vendor and Customer under the terms and conditions of the Contract shall survive the expiration or termination of the Contract. All Purchase Orders issued and accepted by Order Filler shall survive expiration or termination of the Contract”.
The Purchasing Agent has reviewed all documentation related to RFP #19-11 and Contract No. R191104 awarded to Xerox Corporation by Region 4 ESC and determined the contract is current through May 31, 2025.
The solicitation method for this purchase used competitive bidding procedures at least as restrictive as those of the City of Milpitas. The copier/multi-function devices pricing for the City of Milpitas contract is the same as offered in Contract No. R191104.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative: Do not replace the old equipment.
Pros: This is a full-service copier/multifunctional devices agreement with Citywide maintenance and supplies.
Cons: The current equipment reached the end of its useful life, and many units are experiencing regular breakdowns and poor copy quality. It costs the city more to keep the current copier/printer machines functioning.
Reason to not recommend: None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annual cost of $73,600 will be allocated across City functions through respective fiscal year budget appropriations.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
This item is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378(b).
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a cooperative agreement with Xerox Corporation for a full-service lease of copier/multifunction digital devices through a cooperative procurement contract by Region 4 Educational Services Center for an amount not-to-exceed $368,000 for 60 months [five (5) years] with change order authority up to 10%, subject to the annual appropriation of funds ATTACHMENT(S):

B. Contractor shall obey all Federal, State, local, and special district laws, ordinances, and regulations. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and 1770 et seq. (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on certain "public works" and "maintenance" projects. If the Scope of Services is being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of the Scope of Services, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility and Contractor shall indemnify City from liability arising out of the same.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor asserts and has been advised by the counsel of its choosing that the scope of this contract are not considered “public works” and “maintenance” projects as stated under California Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq and 1770 et seq.
C. The Contractor shall keep a tally of the cost for the services ordered by City. The Contractor shall not accept work orders from the City if the cost for the work will exceed the amount indicated above unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing.
7. Audit.

These records exclude any non-financial information deemed by Xerox to be confidential or proprietary.
8. Hold Harmless and Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any alleged acts, errors or omissions of Contractor, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents in connection with the performance of the Contractor’s services or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all consequential damages, expert witness fees and attorneys’ fees and other related costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Contractor's Services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor.
9. Amendments. Any amendment, modification, or variation from the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective only upon mutual written approval by the City and Contractor.
10. Anti-Discrimination. In the performance of the terms of this Agreement, Contractor shall not engage in, nor permit subcontractors to engage in, discrimination in employment of persons because of the age, race, color, religious creed, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, or marital status of such persons.
11. Termination. City may, by written notice to Contractor, terminate the whole or any part of this Agreement at any time and without cause by giving written notice to Contractor of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of such termination. Termination under this provision shall not apply to orders received and equipment installed prior to the effective date of termination. Contractor may not terminate this Agreement except for cause. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, City may require Contractor to provide all finished or unfinished documents and data and other information of any kind prepared by Contractor in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement. Contractor shall be required to provide such documents and other information within fifteen (15) days of the request. The Contractor understands and accepts that at all times; the Agreement is subject to appropriation of funds by the Milpitas City Council. The Agreement may terminate without penalty, liability or expense of any kind to the City at the end of any fiscal year if funds are not appropriated for the next succeeding fiscal year. If funds are appropriated for a portion of the fiscal year, the Agreement will terminate, without penalty, liability or expense of any kind at the end of the term for which funds are appropriated. The City has no obligation to make appropriations for the Agreement in lieu of appropriations for new or other agreements. City budget decisions are subject to the discretion of the Mayor and City Council. Contractor’s assumption of risk of possible non-appropriation is a part of the consideration for the Agreement. This section controls against any and all other provisions of the Agreement. In order to terminate the Agreement due to funding non-appropriation, Contractor requires that the City sends Contractor written notice, within 90-days after the beginning of the fiscal year for which its legislative body does not appropriate funds; send Contractor written notice stating that its legislative body, though no action on the City’s part, fails to appropriate funds for the next fiscal year. In addition, the City agrees at the City’s expense to
return the Equipment in good condition to a location designated by Contractor and that, when returned, the Equipment will be free of all liens and encumbrances, normal wear and tear excepted. The City will then be released from its obligations to make any further payments to Contractor. Contractor’s individual lease offer is based on a firm 60-month equipment installation commitment that cannot be terminated without penalty except for fiscal-year funds non-appropriation or an uncured Xerox default.
12. Complete Contract. This Agreement shall constitute the complete Agreement between the parties hereto. No verbal agreement, understanding, or representation not reduced to writing and specifically incorporated herein shall be of any force or effect, nor shall any such verbal agreement, understanding, or representation be binding upon the parties hereto.
13. Time of Performance. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
14. Successors and Assigns. The terms hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no party hereto shall assign any of the benefits and burdens hereunder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment without said consent shall be void.
15. Authority to Execute Contract. Both City and Contractor do covenant that each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of each party is a person duly authorized and empowered to execute contracts for such party.
16. Insurance. Contractor shall not commence work for the City until it has provided evidence satisfactory to the City it has secured all insurance required under Exhibit “D” (Insurance Requirements), attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. In addition, Contractor shall not allow any subcontractor to commence work on any subcontract until it has secured all insurance required therein.
17. Jurisdiction and Venue. Jurisdiction is in the State of California and venue lies in Santa Clara County.
18. Wage Theft Prevention. Contractor, and any subcontractor it employs to complete work under this Agreement, shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local wage and hour laws. Applicable laws may include, but are not limited to, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Labor Code and the Milpitas Minimum Wage Ordinance. BY
SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, CONTRACTOR AFFIRMS THAT IT HAS DISCLOSED ANY
FINAL JUDGMENTS, DECISIONS OR ORDERS FROM A COURT OR INVESTIGATORY GOVERNMENT AGENCY, FINDING IN THE FIVE (5) YEARS PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS
AGREEMENT THAT CONTRACTOR OR ITS SUBCONTRACTORS HAS VIOLATED ANY APPLICABLE WAGE AND HOUR LAWS. CONTRACTOR FURTHER AFFIRMS THAT IT OR
ITS SUBCONTRACTOR(S) HAS EITHER FULLY SATISFIED EACH JUDGMENT, DECISION
OR ORDER, OR, IF ANY JUDGMENT, DECISION OR ORDER HAS NOT BEEN FULLY
SATISFIED, CONTRACTOR AFFIRMS THAT IT OR ITS SUBCONTRACTOR(S) IS
CURRENTLY SATISFYING SAID JUDGMENT, DECISION OR ORDER THROUGH A
PAYMENT OR ALTERNATIVE PLAN APPROVED BY THE APPLICABLE
COURT/GOVERNMENT AGENCY AND THAT CONTRACTOR OR ITS SUBCONTRACTOR(S)
ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID PLAN AS OF THE DATE OF EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, a court or investigatory government agency issues a final judgment, decision or order finding that Contractor or a subcontractor it employs to perform work under this Agreement has violated any applicable wage and hour law, or Contractor learns of such a judgment, decision, or order that was not previously disclosed in its bid/proposal, Contractor shall inform the City no more than fifteen (15) calendar
days after the judgment, decision or order becomes final or from the date of learning of the final judgment, decision or order. Contractor or its subcontractor(s) shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after notifying the City, either (i) fully satisfy any such judgment, decision, or order and provide the City with documentary evidence of satisfying said judgment, decision or order; or (ii) provide the City documentary evidence of a payment or other alternative plan approved by the court/government agency to satisfy the judgment, decision or order. If the Contractor or its subcontractor is subject to a payment or other alternative plan, the Contractor or its subcontractor shall continue to submit documentary evidence every thirty (30) calendar days during the term of the Agreement demonstrating continued compliance with the plan until the judgment, decision or order has been fully satisfied. For purposes of this Section, a "final judgment, decision, or order" refers to one for which all appeals have been exhausted or the time period to appeal has expired.
Relevant investigatory government agencies include: the United States Department of Labor, the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, the City, or any other governmental entity or division tasked with the investigation and enforcement of wage and hour laws. Failure to comply with any part of this Section constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Such breach may serve as a basis for immediate termination of this Agreement and/or any other remedies available under this Agreement and/or law. Notice provided to the City shall be addressed to: Attention:

INTRODUCTION:
1. NEGOTIATED CONTRACT. The Products are subject solely to the terms in the Negotiated Contract identified on the face of this Agreement, and, for any option you have selected that is not addressed in the Negotiated Contract, the then-current standard Xerox terms for such option.
GOVERNMENT TERMS:
2. REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES. This provision is applicable to governmental entities only. You represent and warrant, as of the date of this Agreement, that: (1) you are a State or a fully constituted political subdivision or agency of the State in which you are located and are authorized to enter into, and carry out, your obligations under this Agreement and any other documents required to be delivered in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the "Documents"); (2) the Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by you in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances and regulations (including all applicable laws governing open meetings, public bidding and appropriations required in connection with this Agreement and the acquisition of the Products) and are valid, legal, binding agreements, enforceable in accordance with their terms; (3) the person(s) signing the Documents have the authority to do so, are acting with the full authorization of your governing body and hold the offices indicated below their signatures, each of which are genuine; (4) the Products are essential to the immediate performance of a governmental or proprietary function by you within the scope of your authority and will be used during the Term only by you and only to perform such function; and (5) your payment obligations under this Agreement constitute a current expense and not a debt under applicable state law and no provision of this Agreement constitutes a pledge of your tax or general revenues, and any provision that is so construed by a court of competent jurisdiction is void from the inception of this Agreement.
3. FUNDING. This provision is applicable to governmental entities only. You represent and warrant that all payments due and to become due during your current fiscal year are within the fiscal budget of such year and are included within an unrestricted and unencumbered appropriation currently available for the purchase/maintenance of the Products, and it is your intent to use the Products for the entire term and to make all payments required under this Agreement. If (1) through no action initiated by you, your legislative body does not appropriate funds for the continuation of this Agreement for any fiscal year after the first fiscal year and has no funds to do so from other sources, and (2) you have made a reasonable but unsuccessful effort to find a creditworthy assignee acceptable to Xerox in its sole discretion within your general organization who can continue this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated. To effect this termination, you must, at least 30 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year for which your legislative body does not appropriate funds, notify Xerox in writing that your legislative body failed to appropriate funds and that you have made the required effort to find an assignee. Your notice must be accompanied by payment of all sums then owed through the current year under this Agreement. You will return the Equipment, at your expense, to a location designated by Xerox and, when returned, the Equipment will be in good condition and free of all liens and encumbrances. You will then be released from any further payment obligations beyond those payments due for the current fiscal year (with Xerox retaining all sums paid to date).
SOLUTION/SERVICES:
4. OVERSIZE PRINTS. Each print made on the following Equipment; B7135H2, B7135S2, B8145H2, C8145H2, C8155H2 and C8170H2, that is larger than 145 square inches (e.g., 11 x 17 = 187 square inches), but less than or equal to 491 mm in length, will register as two (2) prints on the applicable (B&W/color) meter, and, for that Equipment with extra-long print capability, for any impressions greater than 491 mm will register up to four (4) prints on the applicable (B&W/color) meter.
PRICING PLAN/OFFERING SELECTED:
5. FIXED PRICING. If "Pricing Fixed for Term" is identified in Maintenance Plan Features, the maintenance component of the Minimum Payment and Print Charges will not increase during the initial Term of this Agreement.
6. NON-XEROX PRODUCTS. XM Fax were selected by you and are not sold by Xerox in the normal course of its business ("Non-Xerox Products"). If you signed a purchase contract for Non-Xerox Products, you assign to Xerox your rights but none of your obligations under such purchase contract. Xerox is leasing Non-Xerox Products to you "AS IS, WHERE IS" and XEROX MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND REGARDING NON-XEROX PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. To the extent permitted to do so, Xerox assigns to you any warranty rights it has to Non-Xerox Products (which rights shall revert to Xerox if you default under this Agreement). Non-Xerox Products are not covered by Maintenance Services, and you will maintain throughout the initial Term a service agreement for Non-Xerox Products with a service provider acceptable to Xerox. You will pay all personal property taxes related to Non-Xerox Products. You assign to Xerox any rights you have to Non-Xerox Products and title will pass or revert to you (subject to any software licenses relating to Non-Xerox Products) upon expiration of the initial Term.
GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS:
7. REMOTE SERVICES. Certain models of Equipment are supported and serviced using product information that is automatically collected by Xerox or transmitted to or from Xerox by the Equipment connected to your network ("Remote Product Info") via electronic transmission to a secure off-site location ("Remote Transmission"). Remote Transmission also enables Xerox to transmit Releases of Software to you and to remotely diagnose and modify Equipment to repair and correct malfunctions. Examples of Remote Product Info include product registration, meter read, supply level, Equipment configuration and settings, software version, and problem/fault code information. Remote Product Info may be used by Xerox for billing, report generation, supplies replenishment, support services, recommending additional products and services, and product improvement/development purposes. Remote Product Info will be transmitted to and from you in a secure manner mutually agreeable to the parties.
Remote Transmission will not allow Xerox to read, view or download the content of any of your documents or other information residing on or passing through the Equipment or your information management systems. You grant the right to Xerox, without charge, to conduct Remote Transmission for the purposes described above. Upon Xerox's request, you will (a) provide contact information for Equipment such as name and address of your contact and IP and physical addresses/locations of Equipment and (b) ensure that any Maintenance Release or Update released by Xerox to provide security patches, releases and/or certificates for the Remote Transmission and/or Software is promptly enabled by Customer upon notification by Xerox or by the Equipment or when otherwise made available on xerox.com. You will enable Remote Transmission via a method mutually agreeable to both parties, and you will provide reasonable assistance to allow Xerox to provide Remote Transmission. Unless Xerox deems Equipment incapable of Remote Transmission, you will ensure that Remote Transmission is maintained at all times Maintenance Services are being performed. If you are unable to maintain Remote Transmission, or if Xerox disables Remote Transmission from any Equipment at your request, or if you disable Remote Transmission from any Equipment, Xerox reserves the right to charge you a per device fee for such affected Equipment due to the increased service visits that will be required in order to (x) obtain such information, (y) provide such transmissions, and (z) provide such Maintenance Services and Consumable Supplies that otherwise would have been provided remotely and/or proactively.
Financial Information
8. REFINANCE. The "Amount Refinanced" is included in the amount financed under this Agreement. If the Amount Refinanced is under an agreement with a third party, you acknowledge you have the right to terminate the agreement and you will provide Xerox with a statement from the third party identifying the equipment at issue, the amount to be paid off and the payee's name and mailing address. If the Amount Refinanced is under an agreement with Xerox, the refinancing will render your prior agreement null and void. If you breach any of your obligations under this Agreement, the full Amount Refinanced will be immediately due and payable.

Innovation for Sustainable Products and Services
From being the first to introduce power-down features to be the first OEM to introduce a global PrintReleaf program, we push the boundaries of what is possible. The industry has taken note. Xerox
Xerox Proposal to Region 4 ESC - Copiers and Printers, RFP #19-11 35 recently earned spots on Forbes’ JUST 100, Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies, and CDP’s Climate Change Leaders List.
Since the 1990s, Xerox has focused on “Design for Sustainability” because we recognize that our products have environmental, social, and economic effects throughout their life cycle. Design for Sustainability consists of criteria for each phase of the corporation’s product design and delivery process.
Design teams are required to respond to each criterion before passing on to the next phase of the process. We developed the criteria based on global standards, market trends, and quantitative analysis.
Our requirements for minimizing toxic materials govern our product design and materials selection. We have reengineered or eliminated processes to dramatically reduce the use of toxic materials and heavy metals and have made substantial progress in eliminating the use of mercury. Mercury-containing lamps that scan images and backlight user displays are being phased-out as alternatives become available.
Design for Sustainability has become a way of business for Xerox and extends far beyond adhering to processes. Here are a few ways we are engineering solutions that are making a more sustainable world:
Driving a Paperless Environment with Intelligent Workplace Services A Fortune 100 company tapped Xerox to manage its worldwide print infrastructure to support its “paperless” initiative. With our Intelligent Workplace Services, a new offering that transcends Managed Print Services, we are pairing digital alternatives, print authentication, and analytics along with gamification techniques to help them change their company’s print behaviors to reduce their reliance on paper as well as helping them reduce their impact on the environment.
Reforesting World’s Most Treasured Ecosystems
For clients leveraging Intelligent Workplace Services, we provide them with an opportunity to opt in to our PrintReleaf partnership, which is akin to a carbon-offset program. We leverage paper usage reporting that equates the number of trees needed to reforest that usage on an equivalent basis in geographic areas of need. Xerox helps customers select the managed forestry projects where their trees will be planted in addition to tracking and reporting on their direct reforestation impact.
Since launching this program in 2018, Xerox and our clients have reforested more than one hundred thousand trees across the world, from the Amazon to Madagascar, offsetting more than one billion pages.
With one tree absorbing more than one ton of carbon dioxide in its lifetime, this program thus far will offset nearly two hundred million pounds of carbon dioxide.
Pioneering IoT Sensors to Advance the World’s Infrastructure Sensors designed for the Internet of Things (IoT) have potential to transform the world, enabling real-time visibility and optimization of physical systems. PARC, Xerox’s research and development company, is pioneering ways IoT sensors can help us build a better working world. These sensors can allow companies to monitor assets and determine maintenance needs, reducing the need for costly physical site inspections. We are currently piloting this technology with such companies as Con Edison in Queens, New York, and with VicTrack, owner of the Victorian Government’s rail transport land in Australia. With infrastructure deteriorating across significant regions of the world, PARC is looking at ways to scale this technology and use it on other critical assets.
100% of New 2018 Products Earned ENERGY STAR Status
In 2018, 100 percent of all our new eligible product introductions achieved ENERGY STAR. This continued success in cutting the power consumption of our laser-based printing products was achieved by adjustments in the fuser design, changes to the properties of the toner, and more efficient electronic controls and performance of the xerographic system.
