SPECIFICATION NO. 22-01
THIS AGREEMENT, made this ______ day of ___________________, 20____, by and between the City of Ukiah, Mendocino County, California, hereinafter called the City and _______________________ hereinafter called the Contractor,
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the City has caused to be prepared in accordance with law, specifications, drawings and other contract documents for the work herein described and shown and has approved and adopted these contract documents, specifications and drawings and has caused to be published in the manner and for the time required by law a notice to bidders inviting sealed proposals for doing the work in accordance with the terms of this contract and
WHEREAS, the Contractor, in response to the notice to bidders, has submitted to the City a sealed proposal accompanied by a proposal guaranty in an amount of not less than 10 percent of the bid price for the construction of the proposed work in accordance with the terms of this contract and WHEREAS, the City, in the manner prescribed by law, has publicly opened, examined and canvassed the proposals submitted and as a result has determined and declared the Contractor to be the lowest and best regular responsible bidder for the work and for the sums named in the proposal, NOW, THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH:
Article 1. Work to be Done and Contract Days Allowed.
That the Contractor shall provide all necessary machinery, tools, apparatus and other means of construction; shall furnish all materials, superintendence, overhead, expenses, all labor and expenses of whatever nature necessary for completion of the work in conformity with the Special Provisions and other contract documents hereto attached and according to such instructions as may be given by the Engineer. The Contractor shall complete the work within fifteen (15) calendar days. Contract days shall be counted starting with the 10th day following receipt of notice that the contract has been executed by the City. Contractor, at his or her option, may begin work prior to start of counting contract days, however, in no event shall the Contractor start work without giving notification to the Engineer at least 72 hours prior to the start of work, without obtaining an encroachment permit from the City, or without having submitted certificates of insurance that have been accepted and approved by the Engineer
SLURRY SEAL OF LOCAL STREETS 57 Spec NO. 22-01
Article II. Contract Prices.
That the City shall pay the Contractor the prices stated in the proposal submitted by the Contractor, for complete performance of the contract by the Contractor. The Contractor hereby agrees to accept the prices as full compensation for all material and appliances necessary to the work, for all labor and use of tools and other implements necessary to execute the work contemplated in this contract; for all loss or damage arising out of the nature of the work or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work; for all risks of every description connected therewith; for all expenses of the work, as herein specified; for all liability and other insurance, for all overhead and other expenses incident to the work; all according to the Contract Drawings, the Special Provisions, the Details, the instructions and the requirements of the City.
Article III. Labor Discrimination.
Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code, which reads as follows:
"No discrimination shall be made in the employment of persons upon public works because of the race, color, national origin or ancestry, or religion of such persons and every contractor for public works violating this section is subject to all the penalties imposed for a violation of this chapter." In connection with the performance of work under this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:
(a) The Contractor will not willfully discriminate against any employee or an applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, ancestry, or national origin. The Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, ancestry, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the awarding authority setting forth the provisions of this Fair Employment Practice section. (b) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he or she has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice, to be provided by the awarding authority, advising the said labor union or worker's representative of the Contractor's commitments under this section, to employees and applicants for employment. (c) The Contractor will permit access to his or her records of employment, employment advertisements, application forms and other pertinent data and records by the Fair Employment Practices Commission, City of Ukiah or any other appropriate agency of the State of California designated by the awarding authority, for the purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with the Fair Employment Practices section of this contract. (d) A finding of willful violation of the Fair Employment Practices section of this Contract or of the Fair Employment Practices Act shall be regarded by the awarding authority as a basis for determining the Contractor to be not a "responsible bidder" as to future contracts for which such Contractor may submit bids, for revoking the Contractor's pre-qualification rating, if any and for refusing to establish, reestablish or renew a pre-qualification rating for the Contractor.
The City of Ukiah shall deem a finding of willful receipt of written notice from the Fair Employment Practices Act to have occurred upon that it has investigated and determined that the Contractor
SLURRY SEAL OF LOCAL STREETS 58 Spec NO. 22-01
has violated the Fair Employment Practices Act and has issued an order under Labor Code Section 1426 or obtained an injunction under Labor Code Section 1429.
Upon receipt of such written notice from the Fair Employment Practices Commission, the City shall notify the Contractor that unless he or she demonstrates to the satisfaction of the awarding authority within a stated period that the violation has been corrected, his or her pre-qualification rating will be revoked at the expiration of such period. (e) The Contractor agrees that should the City determine that the Contractor has not complied with the Fair Employment Practices section of this Contract, then pursuant to Labor Code Section 1735 and 1775 the Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each person who was denied employment as a result of such non-compliance, the penalties provided in the Labor Code for violation of prevailing wage rates. Such monies may be recovered from the Contractor. The City may deduct any such damages from any monies due the Contractor. (f) Nothing contained in this Fair Employment Practices section shall be construed in any manner of fashion so as to prevent the City or the State of California from pursuing any other remedies that may be available at law.
(g) Prior to awarding the Contract, the Contractor shall certify to the awarding authority that he or she has or will meet the following standards for affirmative compliance, which shall be evaluated in each case by the awarding authority:
(1) The Contractor shall provide evidence, as required by the City that he or she has notified all supervisors, foremen and other personnel officers in writing of the content of the anti-discrimination clause and their responsibilities under it.
(2) The Contractor shall provide evidence, as required by the City, that he or she has notified all sources of employees’ referrals (including unions, employment agencies, advertisements, Department of Employment) of the content of the anti-discrimination clause. (3) The Contractor shall file a basic compliance report, as required by the City. Willfully false statements made in such reports shall be punishable as provided by law. The compliance report shall also spell out the sources of the work force and who has the responsibility for determining whom to hire, or whether or not to hire.
(4) Personally, or through his or her representatives, the Contractor shall, through negotiations with the unions with whom he or she has agreements, attempt to develop an agreement which will:
a. Spell out responsibilities for nondiscrimination in hiring, referral, upgrading and training. b. Otherwise implement an affirmative anti-discrimination program in terms of the unions' specific areas of skill and geography to the end that qualified minority workers will be available and given and equal opportunity for employment.
(5) The Contractor shall notify the City of opposition to the anti-discrimination clause by individuals, firms or organizations during the period of its pre-qualification. (h) The Contractor will include the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs 1 through 5 in every first tier subcontract so that such provisions will be binding upon each such subcontractor.

Summary: Council will receive report of additional expenses for the emergency purchase of contracted services and materials for the repair of a leak at Pressure Zone 1 South (PZ1S) in the amount of $32,340.47 and consider approving a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: Council heard a report and approved a budget amendment in the amount of $329,932 during the regular meeting of March 16, 2022, for the repair of a leak at PZ1S. This work was performed by the contractor CV Larsen who has recently completed the tank installation and site improvements at the Pressure Zone 2 South location.
Discussion: Since that meeting, the contractor has submitted their final invoice in the amount of $26,988.49 (Attachment 1). This work was for the final cleaning, preparation and filling of the tank. This final invoice brings CV Larsen's work to the total of $352,305.49.
In addition, City staff purchased materials used in the repair of the leak from PACE Supply and Daniel Steel in the amount of $5,473.98 (Attachment 2). These expenses and previously purchased materials resulted in a project total of $362,272.47 for the repair of the leak. Staff is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $32,340.47 for these final expenses.
Note: Staff has filed a claim with the City’s insurance provider.
Recommended Action: Receive a report of the emergency purchase for the diagnosis and repair of a leak at the Pressure Zone 1 South Tank, and approve corresponding budget amendment in the amount of $32,340.47 using Water Reserve Funds.

Re: PZ1S Emergency Repairs PO 47705-01
Jason:
Today the Supervising Water Treatment Plant Operator requested that our crew remove the organic material from the walls of the reservoir on an as-directed basis, working with treatment plant personnel.
Additionally, a plan for filling the reservoir was discussed and we were directed to use a 4” pump and revise our drain manifold to be used as a fill manifold.
It was discussed and agreed this work would be performed on a time and materials basis.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Notification of Purchase of AVEVA Flex License Software from E&M Electric & Machinery Laboratories, Inc. in the Amount of $21,400 for Use at the Ukiah Water Treatment Plant.

Summary: Council will receive a notification of the purchase of AVEVA Flex License Software in the amount of $21,400 from E&M Electric & Machinery
Background: Currently, on-call Staff are notified of water system errors via a cell-based alarm system. While the alarm is indicative of a problem, Staff is not able to determine the nature, or severity of the problem until reviewing the SCADA system located at the Water Treatment Plant.
Discussion: Purchasing Aveva will allow City Staff to have remote access to the Water Treatment Plant's SCADA system. This will provide a significant improvement in the information available to on-call Staff. Instead of simple alarms, Staff will be able to log in remotely and assess the nature and severity of the alarm.
Attachment 1 is a copy of the quote; Attachment 2 is a copy of the Purchase Order.
Recommended Action: Receive notification of purchase of AVEVA Flex License Software in the amount of $21,400.00

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution Approving a Successor Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Professional Fire Association Local 3686, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute.

1. UPFA Memorandum of Understanding 2022-2025
2. Resolution
Summary: Council will consider adopting a Resolution for a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Professional Fire Association Local 3686 (UPFA), and authorizing the City Manager to execute on behalf of the City.
Background: The Myers-Milias Brown Act (MMBA) is the law in California that establishes mandatory rights and duties by which all local agencies must abide with regard to labor relations. Within the requirements of MMBA, the City's negotiator, the City Manager, receives authority from the City Council on matters within the scope of representation, and then proceeds to meet and confer with bargaining units.
Additionally, as part of the overall routine maintenance of the classification and compensation schedules for the City of Ukiah, the Human Resources Department is responsible for evaluating classifications and benefits, developing new classifications (including appropriate salary levels), examining salary grade adjustments, and making recommendations for additions, modifications, and corrections.
Recognizing the importance of remaining competitive in the labor market and the continued efforts and support from all City team members during the pandemic, the City Council authorized the City Manager to begin negotiations with bargaining units prior to the expiration dates of the current MOU's.
Discussion: The current MOU between the City of Ukiah and UPFA is set to expire on September 18, 2022. The City's negotiating team, including the Fire Chief, have been meeting regularly and working collaboratively with UPFA in review of current market conditions related to salaries and benefits. After multiple meetings, the negotiating parties reached a tentative agreement on March 8, 2022. The proposed MOU (Attachment 1) is for the term of April 1, 2022 through September 18, 2025, and contains salary increases and benefit changes that will allow the City to remain competitive with the median market over the course of the contract.
The City received notice that UPFA ratified the MOU on March 27, 2022, at a level consistent with City Council's provided authorization. There is no fiscal impact in 2021/2022 due to ongoing vacancies in the department.
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 2) approving the successor MOU and authorizing the City Manager to execute on the City's behalf.
Recommended Action: Adopt a Resolution approving a successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Professional Fire Association, Local 3686, approve the corresponding budget amendment, and authorizing the City Manager to execute on behalf of the City.

3. ALL STAR PAINTING INC Proposal for Alex thomas plaza change orders 3.28.2022 Summary: The City Council will consider approving a change order in the amount of $20,800, to address dry rot found during painting, and to adjust the color palette at Alex Thomas Plaza.
Background: At the September 21, 2021, Ukiah City Council meeting, All Star Painting was awarded a contract to paint Alex Thomas Plaza.
Although not typically required for a maintenance project, considering the prominent location and nature of the Plaza, a small ad hoc advisory group was created and worked with Staff to develop a suitable restoration plan; The advisory group of seven included a Councilmember, two design professionals, and representatives from the art and business communities.
The overall plan envisioned 1) landscaping improvements, 2) the addition of murals and an Outdoor Art Gallery, and 3) painting the Pavilion and associated facilities.
A subcommittee of two developed a paint palette that outlined the scope of work and color scheme to be used for the painting of the Pavilion and associated facilities. The ad hoc team was provided the opportunity to review and approve the color scheme. The plan was presented to and approved by the City Council on September 21, 2021.
Discussion: All Star Painting began painting on March 7th and completed a large portion of the project by March 11th. Although the project was completed to the approved specifications, even those who had chosen the color palette were surprised, and admitted the colors were much brighter than anticipated. Following a substantial amount of negative public comment, staff asked the contractors to stop work. The design professional consulted with staff and devised a modified Color and Finish Schedule (Attachment 1), a new Paint Palette and Study (Attachment 2), and received a quote of $17,600 from All Start Painting (Attachment 3) to make the desired changes. In addition to the color change, dry rot was discovered in the fascia below the skylights and the contractor provided a bid of $3,200 for that repair as well. The original contract was not fully expended.
Recommended Action: Approve Change Order in the amount of $20,800 to All Star Painting for the Alex Thomas Plaza Painting Project.

A public space is an area or place that is open and accessible to all peoples, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age or socio-economic level. These are public gathering spaces such as plazas, squares and parks.
Well-designed and maintained public spaces are critical to the health of any city. Such gathering spaces allow for social mixing, civic participation, recreation, and a sense of belonging. Good public spaces respond to the dynamics of a community—amenities wear out, needs change and management of our public spaces require continual maintenance and innovation. Every community group's history should be included into the physical and cultural reality of a public space.
The parks and plazas of Ukiah provide such public spaces. By coming together in these safe and relaxed settings, different groups become comfortable with each other, thereby strengthening community cohesion.
• Following the adoption of the City of Ukiah’s Public Art Policy, the City is implementing a civic art program at the plaza featuring both permanent and temporary, revolving works of art. Art animates public spaces, improves local business viability, and contributes to public safety. Public art brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.
• Many special events are hosted at the Plaza. A few of the events include the yearround weekly Farmers Market, musical events for different groups, summer movie series, Chinese New Year celebration, Classic Car Show, Pumpkinfest, Story Promenade presented by Ukiah Library, the annual Ukiah Valley Art Fair, and the Rising Stars Music Competition among many others.
Alex Thomas Plaza is Ukiah’s central public plaza with the goal of providing a clean, well maintained public space.

1. 7i CC Reso 2022-12 - Adopting NOI RE SB 1383-Organic Waste Reductions
2. Proposed Resolution - CalRecycle Grant App Authorization Summary: Council will consider adoption of a resolution authorizing the submittal of application(s) for all CalRecycle for which the City is eligible.
Background: In 2016 Senate Bill 1383, Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Reductions was passed. This bill looks to reduce California’s emissions of methane gas. Methane gas produced from organic waste breakdown in landfills is the third largest source of gases production in the state. The requirements of SB 1383 were initially meant to be enacted and enforceable by January 1, 2022.
Due to the majority of jurisdictions having not met the requirements of SB 1383, an extension was processed and jurisdictions now have until January 1, 2023, to enact these requirements before being in non-compliance and subject to fees and other penalties. Grant monies are available to assist with compliance.
Discussion: On the February 16, 2022, City Council meeting, Council approved a resolution regarding the Notice of Intent to Comply with SB 1383 (Attachment 1). CalRecycle accepted our Notice of Intent to Comply but also informed Staff of the need of a resolution to authorize the City Manager to be able to submit grant applications on behalf of the City. This resolution is meant to grant that authorization. (Attachment 2)
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of application(s) for all CalRecycle for which the City is eligible.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Notification of Purchase of new Pump and Motor as Part of Purchase Order #47600 Issued to Bartley Pump PM, LLC for the Teardown, Inspection, and Rehabilitation of Well #8, and Approval of Corresponding Budget Amendment in the Amount of $135,618.07 Using the Water Reserve Funds.
DEPARTMENT: Water Resources PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst PRESENTER: Sean White, Water Resources Director.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Purchase Order 00047600
Summary: Council will receive notification of additional expense to Purchase Order #47600 issued to Bartley Pump PM, LLC for the purchase of a new pump and as part of the teardown, inspection, and rehabilitation of Well #8 in the amount of $135,618.07.
Background: As previously reported to Council on January 19, 2022, Well #8 was designed and constructed to produce approximately 1,100 gallons per minute (gpm). However, Well #8 has never performed to anticipated levels since its construction in 2008. Actual production has ranged from 370-500 gpm. As a result, the pump, motor, and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) have never operated correctly. This mismatch has been the source of premature pump and motor failure in the past.
PO #47600 was originally made to rehabilitate the well and once the well casing was repaired, a new motor and pump would be installed to match post- rehabilitation test results. This will ensure maximum equipment service life as well as increase energy efficiency.
Discussion: Well #8 was redeveloped in mid-January and pumptested on January 29th. Well tests confirmed that Well #8 was in need of redevelopment. Output of Well #8 doubled, with a final test capacity of 850 gpm.
The additional testing and material purchases to rehabilitate the well cost $134,677.06, bringing the Purchase Order total to $163,366.76 (Attachment 1).
Staff is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $135,618.07. These funds would be used in addition to existing funds to pay for the additional expense of PO #47600 and replenish the Water Operation and Maintenance Fund, which is used for small day-to-day repairs and is now depleted as a result of this and other emergency repairs. Water Resource Reserve Funds will be used to restore this account.
Recommended Action: Receive notification of the additional expense of the purchase of a new pump and motor as part of Purchase Order #47600 issued to Bartley Pump PM, LLC for the teardown, inspection, and rehabilitation of Well #8, and approve corresponding budget amendment in the amount of $135,618.07 using the Water Reserve Funds.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Award the Purchase of a Vactor 2100i Truck Mounted Vacuum System in the amount of $542,462.07 from Owen Equipment, and Approve Corresponding Budget Amendment.

1. Vehicle Justification Form
2. City of Ukiah- Vactor 2100i
Summary: Council will consider approving the purchase of a Vactor 2100i Truck Mounted Vaccum System from Owen Equipment in the amount of $542,462.07, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: The Public Works 5-year capital improvement plan (CIP) has a vactor truck budgeted for FY 22/23. The purchase of the item was originally planned for FY 21/22, however, was delayed due to the Covid19 Pandemic.
Staff recently discovered that supply chain delays have increased the lead time significantly for vehicles. This truck currently has a lead time of 9-12 months, but it is anticipated to increase to over two years if the order is not placed soon.
Discussion: In developing the specifications, Staff analyzed the need for this equipment and specified a Vactor-branded unit based on reliability and parts availability and local service. This equipment will primarily be used for water and sewer maintenance activities. Some of these tasks include cleaning sewer mains, lift stations, recycled water ponds, and repairing water main breaks. The Electric Utility Department will also use the equipment for potholing, removing utility poles, and other maintenance work and will be assisting the Water Resources Department with the purchase.
Attachment 1 is the Vehicle Justification Form; provided as Attachment 2 is the proposal from Owen Equipment. The pricing is based on the competitively solicited Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program, Contract Number 101221-VTR. Municipal Code Section 1522 allows for the City to participate in cooperative agreements like this one. It is Staff’s recommendation for Council to approve the purchase of one Vactor 2100i Truck Mounted Sewer Cleaner from Owen Equipment in the amount of $542,462.07, and approve a corresponding budget amendment using Water, Sewer, and Electric Utility Reserve Funds. The shared cost of this amendment is meant to reflect the amount of use of the equipment.
Recommended Action: Award purchase of a Vactor 2100i Truck Mounted Vacuum System from Owen Equipment in the amount of $542,462.07, and approve corresponding budget amendment.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Contract with HdL Companies for Tax and Fee Administration Services for Transient Occupancy, and Approve Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Ginny Michel, Assistant Finance Director PRESENTER: Ginny Feth-Michel, Assistant Finance Director ATTACHMENTS:
1. 20220330 Revised Ukiah HdL TOT Proposal
2. Cost Analysis
Summary: Council will consider authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a three-year contract with HdL Companies (“HdL”) for audit and financial management assistance of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: In November 2006, the voters of the City of Ukiah passed Measure X, which raised the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) in the City from 8% to 10%. City Council Resolution No. 2006-68 ("Resolution"), as amended August 28, 2006, specified that for the first two years after the increase went into effect, 75% of the additional revenue produced by the tax increase would be spent on promotion of the City of Ukiah and its tourist industry, and 50% thereafter. The Resolution provides that the revenues expended for promotion of the City of Ukiah and its tourist industry shall be administered by the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce, subject to an annual performance agreement with the City of Ukiah.
Below is a historical summary of TOT collections.
The Finance Department conducted an internal review of the processes in place for administrating Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) and concluded that exploring external options for TOT administration may improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the TOT monitoring and collection process. The most effective option for
outside administration was presented by HdL Companies. HdL currently provides sales tax monitoring and audit services to the City, and is well experienced and qualified to provide TOT services.
Discussion: Given the importance of TOT revenues to City operations, and the known presence of a large number of short-term rentals within the city limits, the Finance Department performed an evaluation of the process for communicating, tracking, collecting and monitoring TOT revenues. The City is currently administering Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) internally with one staff member and oversight by a Financial Service Manager. Timely receipt of monthly TOT returns, tracking of payments, late fees and limited data monitoring is accomplished using an excel spreadsheet. Those required to file TOT returns have access to limited information on the City’s website; a non-fillable form is available for download from the City's website.
As the Finance department becomes aware of new lodging establishments, a Staff member contacts the establishment and provides forms and answers any questions. For example, when the new Holiday Inn Express & Suites opened in January of 2022, a finance Staff member contacted the hotel and provided them with the City’s TOT form and related information.
Many large cities have internal audit departments that would be charged with auditing TOT compliance.
Smaller municipalities generally contract for these services. The Department for several years planned to conduct a TOT audit, programming it in the budget regularly. The appropriation was not used, and it has not been re-appropriated since FY 2020. The pandemic effects on the city's hotels gave Staff pause to push an audit forward; however, as the economy improves and travel begins to return to normal, now is the time to reengage. Further, the prevalence of short-term rentals in the city necessitates a closer look to ensure TOT is being collected and remitted to the City appropriately.
On December 8, 2021, a Proposal was obtained from HdL. An evaluation team consisting of the City's Finance Controller, Assistant Finance Director, and the Finance Director reviewed the response, and asked a series of questions to HdL, to ensure a good fit for the City and the businesses required to comply with TOT requirements. The evaluation team concluded that HdL's services, including on-line filing, payment processing, education, compliance monitoring, auditing, and short term rental identification will meet the needs of the City, provide excellent potential to increase TOT collections and provide an easy to use business internet application for TOT return submission and payment of taxes and fees.
HdL Companies’ proposal is provided as Attachment 1, which proposes to provide the requested services in an amount of $850 per property per year plus 50% of all discovered revenue from short-term rentals up to $1,900 per year, whichever is higher for a period of three years. Attached as Attachment 2 is an estimate of current staffing costs and a comparison to the HdL proposal. Not included in the estimate is any additional TOT collected as a result of HdL audits and short-term rental identification. Those amounts would be subject to a case-by-case basis.
It is therefore Staff's recommendation to award a contract to HdL for TOT audit and financial management assistance services, authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the resulting agreement, and approve the corresponding budget amendment.
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a three-year contract with HdL Companies for audit and financial assistance services of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue - including short term rental compliance, and authorize the corresponding budget amendment.

General Scope of Work
HdL offers robust solutions for managing compliance of municipal Business License Taxes and its related functions. HdL is ever mindful of the important role that customer service plays in the successful implementation of a compliance and revenue collection program. Therefore, HdL will make every effort to ensure that all communications with the City’s business community is kept at a professional level maintaining a careful balance between compliance, revenue collection, tactfulness, sensitivity and taxpayer education.
Transient Occupancy Tax Administration Services
HdL’s transient occupancy tax administration service goes beyond scheduled cyclical audits, providing compliance monitoring of each return as it is filed while unburdening the City from the day-to-day administration of the TOT revenue program. Continual monitoring of returns is the optimal way to increase compliance while maintaining positive relations with the City’s lodging providers.
The program is education focused, ensuring that lodging providers are clear on reporting requirements and methodology. HdL’s tax administration professionals are available as needed to support both the City’s team and the City’s lodging providers. The City is kept up to date, with 24x7 online access to HdL’s client portal containing real time access to registration and filing data, and management reporting. HdL’s TOT administration service incorporates all of the following:
Tax Registration Database Management – HdL will transfer the City’s existing databases as they relate to TOT into HdL’s internal administration tools. HdL will maintain the data, software, online filing portal for lodging providers, and online client portal for the City.
Return Processing – HdL will process TOT filings within 5 days of submission. Accounts will receive all applicable forms necessary to complete the renewal process.
New Account Processing – HdL will process any new TOT registrations for Lodging Establishments that change hand or newly offered properties.
Payment Posting / Processing – HdL will process all payments made for new and existing lodging providers. Accounts will be updated with payment information and revenues will be remitted to the City net HdL’s fees on no less than a monthly basis.
On-Line Filing & Payment Processing – With input from the City, HdL crafts a customized website and domain for the City’s taxpayers to submit online forms, returns, and payments along with other customer support related items.
Compliance Monitoring & Lodging Provider Audits – HdL will ensure accurate filings of TOT returns by consistently monitoring returns and educating lodging providers on filing requirements. HdL will also provide cyclical compliance audits as mutually agreed to by the City and HdL, ensuring all providers are audited at least once every three years. The compliance audit process is described above in Option 1.
Reports – HdL’s TOT administration service includes a variety of standard reports demonstrating account activity and filing trends. During service implementation HdL will work with the City to identify reporting requirements and frequency/method of delivery and will supplement our standard service with custom reports as needed to meet the City’s requirements.
Progress Payments – HdL’s TOT administration service is billed monthly based on activity completed during the prior month. If standalone audits are conducted, they are billed only upon completion of the audit.
Customer Support Center – HdL will provide lodging providers with multiple support options for registering, filing returns, making payments and for general inquiries. A toll-free number will be provided to businesses in order to access one of our tax specialists. Lodging providers will also have access to support via e-mail, fax, and the online Business Support Center.
Annual Audit Plan – During implementation, HdL gathers all the historical data available from the City and leverages internal data sources and expertise to provide an analysis of all lodging providers, along with a recommended audit schedule. This allows HdL to work cooperatively with the City to identify the entities that require attention first. HdL works directly with the City to ensure consensus on the audit schedule for the program.
HdL’s Transient Occupancy Tax - Audit Only Service
HdL’s Transient Occupancy Tax Audit Service employs a business-friendly approach which educates hoteliers in transient occupancy tax regulations and filing procedures, ensures compliance, and maximizes agency revenues. The process incorporates the following:
Ordinance and Filing Procedure Review – Analysis of Transient Occupancy Tax ordinances and agency procedures are conducted to identify possible deficiencies or other administration related issues. Recommendations are made by the audit team for items such as to best practices, form design, and potential ordinance modifications to insure the most effective policies and controls.
Analysis Report – HdL’s audit team will obtain and conduct a review of the most recent 36 months of transient occupancy tax filings. In order to verify and augment the data, the audit team will compile a variety of supplemental information on each property, including number of rooms, occupancy rate, physical condition, and business dynamics. Data is then further scrutinized in order to identify unusual or suspicious reporting and/or other variables that indicate cause for further review. Information and findings are documented in the analysis report for review with the Agency.
Analysis Review – Upon completion of the analysis report, meetings are scheduled with the agency to review the results as well as identify and recommend lodging providers who require additional investigation or examination to determine their compliance with the Agency’s ordinance.
Audit Notification & Scheduling – Lodging providers selected by HdL and approved by the Agency for an audit are sent a letter and scheduled for a Compliance Analysis Audit. Every effort is made to promote a positive experience for the taxpayer. Lodging providers will be reminded of the documents required for the audit that were discussed in webinars and previous communications. Lodging providers are afforded the opportunity to schedule flexible appointment times by contacting the Business Support Center or visiting our online support center.
Compliance Analysis & Audit – The HdL audit team reviews the books and records of the lodging provider to determine compliance with transient occupancy tax regulations. HdL
validates taxable gross rents, exemptions, bank statements, daily/monthly summaries, and other relevant information for determining compliance. Supporting documentation for relevant items such as exemptions will also be documented for accuracy.
Audit & Compliance Report – Upon completion of the audit and analysis, and prior to additional actions, a compliance report is generated and reviewed with the Agency. The report indicates specific results of the reviews and recommended actions. Documentation will be included with the report to assist the Agency and HdL in determining next steps.
Deficiency and Commendation Notification – Upon final review with the Agency, lodging providers that are found to have deficiencies are notified of the findings as well as payment and appeal processes. Appointments are also scheduled to review the findings and educate taxpayers on proper filing procedures designed to prevent future errors and deficiencies.
Lodging providers found to be compliant are sent a commendation letter thanking them for their cooperation and compliance.
Invoicing & Collections – Lodging providers found to be underreporting are invoiced through the standard Agency approved collections process identical to the procedures approved for other Programs. Balances are collected and remitted along with supporting documentation to the Agency through approved remittance processes.
Short Term Rental – Compliance Only Service
The Short-Term Rental (STR) Program provided by HdL takes a unique approach in ensuring compliance and educating lodging providers, including short term rental hosts (STR Hosts), in transient occupancy tax regulations and filing procedures, regulatory permits and licensing, and other City specific goals and objectives. HdL’s program involves a modular, customer service centric approach, which reduces City administrative costs and provides the City with assurances of future compliance and reporting practices from the City’s short-term rental lodging industry.
Following identification, HdL conducts a targeted education and compliance campaign designed to inform STR Hosts of their obligations to file and remit taxes and other requisite licenses and permits as may be needed. Each lodging provider is provided a full overview of the requirements and how to best comply both in the present and the future. During the registration process, HdL offers a variety of support options to the community including online filing, file-by-phone, email, and registration via standard mail. HdL tax and license specialists are available throughout the process to provide support to the STR community and to assist in the registration process.
Education, Registration, and Compliance
Using the list of active STR listings, HdL conducts a series of City approved education-based programs ranging from mailers to direct phone contacts. Each packet contains all the information necessary to obtain registration and comply with local requirements. HdL assists STR hosts throughout the program with information and support with all aspects of becoming compliant. During this program, HdL will:
• Validate listing to ensure proper identification and filter out records that may lead to erroneous contacts.
• Notify non-compliant entities with a series of education-based packets designed to garner compliance.
• Provide a support center for assistance with general questions, support, and assistance with filing and paying returns.
• Provide online portal with links to FAQs, education packets, and support for registering, filing returns, and making payments online. • Follow up with non-compliant accounts to obtain registration • Work with City to identify additional requirements and ensure collection of data necessary to enforcement procedures.
• Establish optional implementation items such as amnesty programs, back tax and penalty provisions, and other pre-registration programs.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve Contract Amendment 2 with Excergy/E Source in the Amount of $55,000 for Utility Billing Customer Information System Project Management Services, and Approve a Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Mary Horger, Financial Services Manager PRESENTER: Mary Horger, Financial Services Manager
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Original Contract #2021-089 -Excergy - Utility Billing CIS PM
2. Amendment 1
3. Amendment 2 - Contract #2021-089
Summary: Council will consider approving a contract amendment with Excergy/E Source in the amount of $55,000 for Utility Billing Customer Information System Project Management Services.
Background: In July 2020, Council awarded a contract to Excergy in the amount of $143,131 for Project Management Services for the selection of and implementation of a Utility Billing Customer Information System (CIS). This was necessary due to the intricacies of replacing a complex software billing system for multiple utilities, the lack of current internal resources, and to set the project up successfully.
In June of last year, Council approved Amendment 1 to the contract in the amount of $35,000, increasing the contract to $176,131. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the agreement, and Attachment 2 for a copy of Amendment 1.
Discussion: Since entering into the contract with Excergy/E Source, Staff has been very pleased with their work. Their expertise in the utility industry has proven to be a great resource as City Staff has navigated through the procurement process, and subsequent in-depth implementation process.
The implementation is going well. However, with the important tedious details of the process, and internal resource availability fluctuating as they attempt to handle both a hefty implementation process and continue their normal job functions, the timeline for this project is anticipated to further extend beyond the initial "go live" date of this coming June. E Source continues to play a big role in guiding both Staff and the software company through the process, and making sure that the critical points of the implementation are being done to insure that everything is ready and in order for when we go live.
In order to prepare for the possibility of the go live date extending, E Source has proposed to set an overall not to exceed value for Amendment 2 (please see Attachment 3) in the amount of $55,000, with a monthly-not to exceed value of $7,352. If Amendment 2 is approved, this would be retroactive to February of this year, and provide project management coverage until September. Should E Source spend less time in a particular month, they would only bill the actual time worked. Should the project end prior to September, then they would simply not bill for the succeeding months.
It should be noted that the original budget for the CIS software alone was $600,000. The software chosen (Milsoft) was purchased for an initial 5-year commitment, which includes software maintenance, at $273,520.
Add in the project management services, including Amendment 1, and proposed Amendment 2, the total cost
to date for the CIS project will be $504,651, which is still almost $100,000 under the original budget.
It is therefore Staff's recommendation to approve Amendment 2 to Exergy/E Source in the amount of $55,000, for a total revised contract amount of $201,444, and approve the corresponding budget amendment.
Recommended Action: Approve contract amendment 2 with Excergy/E Source in the amount of $55,000 for Utility Billing Customer Information System Project Management Services, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.

1 B. Project Understanding and Proposed Approach
Our Understanding
Planning and implementing a new CIS project can be one of the most complex endeavors a utility undertakes. The new technologies, integrationsto legacy systems, business process transformation within the utility, and customer engagement aspects are multifaceted and connected in a way that most operational upgrades are not. Successful projectsfollow an excellent project management and integration process due to challenges related to the inherent complex technology, the lack of depth in many vendors’ projectservices, and the integration points across other enterprise IT systems. It is extremely important to getstarted on the right path early in the process.
The City of Ukiah isseeking a skilled, Professional Project Management (PMP)‐certified project manager (PM) with years of utility system integration and implementation expertise to support the procurement and implementation of a new utility billing CIS system to replace the City’s outdated Harris Classic Utility Billing system. The City is looking for a new CIS solution that incorporates GIS, work order management, manual and hand‐held input of meter reads and ultimately Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) integration. The CIS billing system would also need to integrate with the City’s ERP system, Tyler Munis, for accounting purposes.
Due to the intricacies of replacing a billing system, and the lack of current internal City resources, the City is looking to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new system (either hosted or non‐hosted) that can easily transition and integrate from manual meter reading to an AMI network using industry standard protocols resulting in increased operational efficienciesthat help to both reduce costs and elevate utility billing customer service. The City islooking for a Project Management individual or team skilled in diplomatically managing multiple teamssimultaneously, resolving conflicts, and communicating effectively—as well as providing expert project management tools, methodologies, and bests practices—to effectively and efficiently deliver a successful CIS solution asscheduled and for the agreed‐upon price. The City estimates 12‐18 months from start to finish.
Approach to Scope of Work
The following represents Excergy’sstreamlined approach to simultaneously provide the CIS services desired by Ukiah asillustrated in figure below.
Task 1 — Project Management
One of the primary factors that distinguishes successful CIS projectsisthe quality of the project management. In the Excergy model, our PM works very closely with the designated utility personnel and uses our proven process, methods, and experience to produce a robust, flexible implementation approach. We have found most vendors do not have the same high level of PM capabilities, and we are very experienced in helping a combined customer‐ vendor team execute successfully.
Throughout all project phases, expert project management will be essential to meeting the “iron triangle” dimensions of cost, quality, and schedule. Project and Program management is a core skillset for Excergy, and we Figure 1. Excergy’s Streamlined Approach to Deliver the City’s Scope of Work ATTACHMENT A - Contract 2021-089
RESPONSE TOUKIAHRFPFOR CISPROJECTMANAGEMENT SERVICES
2 pride ourselves on the advanced maturity of our capabilities. Excergy usesthe Project Management Institute’s (PMI’s) PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) and Agile approaches asthe basis of our project management philosophy and methods. Most of our PMs are PMI‐Certified Project Management Professionals.
This certification is proof of our commitment to project management as a competency, as well as evidence of knowledge of project management fundamentals.
Excergy will hold an organizational kickoffsession with Ukiah’steam to review projectscope, requirements, deliverables, timetable, reporting relationships, project management tools, and a communications plan. We will discusssensitivities, issues, and concerns unique to Ukiah that we will address during the project. We will establish a set of project management and reporting protocols.
The Excergy PM will work with Ukiah personnel to manage the project through the five phases of the project lifecycle: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling, and Closing. Project Management activitiesinclude:
► Managing the activities of the team and subcontractors, including risks and issues ► Working in close partnership with Ukiah and the CIS vendor to ensure the project’ssuccess ► Accounting for all deliverables produced by the team
► Delivering a quality product on schedule and within budget (size, effort, and cost) At project initiation, the Excergy PM will review and finalize the project plan elements at a kickoff meeting at City of Ukiah offices. The kickoff meeting is used to introduce personnel participating in the project, review initial project plans,start preparation for functional requirements gathering interviews/workshops and understand/define the system integration mapping (i.e., Solution Architecture). The Excergy PM will work to clarify purpose and align systems understanding. The Excergy PM will be responsible for the activitiesin Table 1 below.
Table 1. Typical Project Management Activities
PM ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Scope
Management
Ensure that the project plans outline all of the work required to complete the project successfully.
Scope management consists of initiation, scope planning, scope definition, scope verification, and scope change control.
Change
Management
Ensure that a baseline project plan is established at project initiation, and that a formal change control process is in place to control changes to the baseline project plan throughout the project lifecycle.
Integration
Management
Ensure that the various elements of the project are properly coordinated. Integration management consists of project plan development, project plan execution, and overall change control.
Cost
Management
Ensure that the project is completed within the approved budget. Cost management consists of resource planning, cost estimating, cost budgeting, and cost control.
Procurement
Support
Acquire goods and services from outside the performing organization. Procurement support consists of procurement and solicitation planning; solicitation; source selection; and contract administration and closeout.

RESPONSE TOUKIAHRFPFOR CISPROJECTMANAGEMENT SERVICES
3 PM ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
tasks within the SOW. The project manager reinforces the importance of establishing and maintaining professional working relationships among Utilities and vendor team members, as well as monitors these relationships.
Time
Management
Ensure the timely completion of the project. Time management consists of activity definition, activity sequencing, activity duration estimating, and schedule development and control.
Risk
Management
Identify and analyze project risks and respond to those risks. The Excergy approach to risk management has three components—identification, prioritization, and mitigation. Risks are identified at project inception and categorized based on probability and impact. A risk mitigation plan is defined to impacts should the risk occur. The risk mitigation plan is continuously reevaluated during the project lifetime. Once a risk actually occurs, it is moved to the issue tracking process.
The Excergy PM will manage the weekly projectstatus cycle for the City. On a CIS replacement project, it isimportant to establish a regular cadence in which progresstowardsthe plan, performance status, risk management, items of concern, and open action items are managed regularly and consistently. A written projectstatusreport is created by the Excergy PM, with input from the CIS vendor, to provide projectstatusto Ukiah personnel and management. A sample report isshown in Figure 2.
Excergy compilesstatusfrom all partiesinto a consolidated status report, updates project action items and risks, and prepares for a City of Ukiah weekly status meeting. The weekly meeting will be led by the Excergy. The vendor PM or experts are only needed if deeper examination ofstatus or important issues are on the agenda. The meeting assessesthe overall health of the project and directs actions as needed. If an action item affects the scope of the project (technical baseline,schedule, or cost), Change Control documentation will be initiated to assure City acceptance of the proposed change.
The Excergy PM will develop an implementation plan that willsupport Ukiah’s CIS vision. The objective of thistask isto develop a comprehensive implementation plan that definesthe logicalsequence for the deploymentstrategy, projectschedule, and support requirements. Implementation responsibilities will be defined. The draft implementation plan will be reviewed with Ukiah personnel and finalized.
Part of the PM role we are proposing includes ongoing quality assurance of deliverables from the vendor for all project phases. The Project Manager will draw from the expertise of the CIS Subject Matter Expert (SME) on an as‐ needed basisfor these tasks and, in particular, document and subject matter‐specific quality reviews of vendor deliverables. This SME will also be involved in the selection, acquisition, and contracting process and, therefore, knowledgeable about both the needs of the City of Ukiah and contract requirements.

Task 2 — Functional Requirements/Integration Mapping
Thistask will develop the functional requirementsfor Procurement. Through a series of workshops and interviews, using our knowledge from work on previous project procurements, we gather your Ukiah‐specific functional requirements. The outputs are a functionality matrix and a high‐level System Architecture or integration mapping needed to achieve the business goals and objectivesidentified in the Business Case or other needs assessment. Thistask is composed of two subtasks:
2.1 CIS Functional Requirement & Business Objective Definition
2.2 Develop/Validate CIS Solutions Architecture/Integration Map Subtask 2.1: Functional Requirement & Business Objective Definition CIS Process and Functionality Analysis
These sessions will begin immediately after the kickoff. These remote sessions will last approximately three days and consist of both workshops and individual interviews with key stakeholders. Part of the time is open inquiry; part of the time deals with our pre‐existing knowledge of CIS functionality and what is applicable to yoursituation.
The workshop areas are:
Customer Service & Customer Accounts
► New Customer Handling
► Current Customer Handling
► Customer Data Collection & Verification
► Customer Work Order Generation & Completion
► IT Operations and support of these activities
Meter Reading, Billing & Rate Analysis
► Meter Reading and Exception Processing
► Rate Requirements/Tariff Complexity Analysis/Miscellaneous Charges ► Charging and Billing Exception Processing
► Bill Processing
► Dissemination of Billsthrough all Media
► IT Operations and support of these activities

► Internal Work Order Generation & Completion asit relatesto CIS ► IT Operations and support of these activities
Credit & Collections & Financial Operations
► Accounting and General Ledger
► Payment Receipt
► Adjustments
► Credit & Collections Functions
► Bad Debt & Write‐off
► A/R Balancing & Reporting
► IT operations and support of these activities
RESPONSE TOUKIAHRFPFOR CISPROJECTMANAGEMENT SERVICES
5 We willsolicit ideas around new and/or improved functionality or processesin all areas above and document them.
Interviews
In addition to the workshops above, we will conduct 45‐ to 60‐minute interviews with key stakeholdersthat cover Customer Service, Billing, IT, Field Services, Purchasing, and Finance.
Functional requirements developed from these workshops and interviews will allow for consideration of both a hosted and on‐premise environment.
Subtask 2.2: Develop CIS Solutions Architecture/Integration Map Under thissubtask, Excergy will develop the project architecture based on the following:
► User data requirements
► User functional requirements
► User processflows
► Automation requirements
► Integration requirements
► Industry best practices
► The Excergy’steam’s experience
► Implementation considerations and constraints
► Current and near‐term future capabilities of commercial CIS technologies The technology and integrations necessary to achieve a successful CIS implementation will be included in this solutions architecture. One of the areasthat is often not given enough emphasis but is critical to the successful implementation of CIS initiatives, isthe integration with all of the other information systemssuch as meter reading, GIS, work management, City website, bill printing, payment processing, and general ledgersystems.
Excergy’s approach ensuresthat all of these critical integration points are identified and impacts on othersystems are factored into the strategy. Thisincludes allowance for the use of either a hosted or on‐premise approach.
The draft architecture will be reviewed with the Project team during a remote workshop. Excergy will update the architecture based on this review and prepare a final version.

Task 3 — CIS Vendor Selection
Thistask usesthe functional inputs identified in the CIS Roadmap developed in Task 2, and is composed of five subtasks:
3.1 Assist with Creation of RFP and Distribution to Appropriate Vendors
3.2 Prepare RFP Response Evaluation Tool
3.3 Evaluate Vendor Responses
RESPONSE TOUKIAHRFPFOR CISPROJECTMANAGEMENT SERVICES
6 3.4 Make Recommendations on Vendor Responses
3.5 Assist with Vendor Negotiations & Contracting
Subtask 3.1: Assist with Creation of RFP and Distribute to Vendors Excergy will provide value‐added support to Ukiah in the procurement process. This assistance can be invaluable in structuring the most beneficial contract for the City, and past experience has demonstrated that we’ve been able to save significant dollars in the procurement and negotiating process with utility software vendors.
Excergy will provide the Functional Requirements developed previously along with the Solutions Architecture in a format that meetsthe City’s procurement needs. Excergy will then work with Ukiah’s procurement and legalstaff to prepare the RFP package, which will incorporate the appropriate instructions to bidders as well as general and specific terms and conditions. After the RFP is circulated for comments, Excergy will assist Ukiah with necessary addendums.
Based on the experience of many utilities, we recommend that a draft contract be incorporated in the RFP. This streamlinesthe procurement process, gives Ukiah greater negotiating leverage, and can result in considerable savings. Through participating in numerous contract negotiations, we have learned how to establish enforceable contract provisions that protect the utility. We will help Ukiah prepare the draft contract. Important contract considerations include:
► Pricing protection. Definitive pricesset for each exchange and for other ancillary services. To deploy a CIS system with strong cost controls, we recommend a phased project approach with defined exit points and fixed prices as appropriate. Should significant concerns arise in the initial discovery phase of the contract, these exit points provide strong motivation for the CIS vendor to provide top notch service. ► Product and service warranties. Extended warranties and system failure provisions may be important. ► Performance standards. Accurate bills; defaults and opportunities and requirementsto cure. ► Component and finalsystem acceptance criteria and payment provisions. Payments are made for confirmed working installations.
► Service level agreements. If Ukiah optsforsoftware managementservices.
Excergy will also provide input on the selection of qualified vendorsto be invited to the RFP process.
Subtask 3.2: Prepare RFP Response Evaluation Tool
We willsupport Ukiah’sselection team in establishing weighted evaluation criteria including responsivenessto functional requirements, total life‐cycle cost, and qualifications of the respondents.
By using established Excergy templatesfor proposal evaluation and risk assessment, Excergy will help Ukiah develop score sheetsfor the RFP with scoring criteria and weightsfor requirements. Scoring criteria reflects criticality, type, and relevance of the requirements. Weightsreflect the relative importance or value of the requirements with respect to the other proposal criteria,such as pricing and schedule.
A key area of the vendor proposal evaluation isthe establishment of critical qualification or vendor pass/fail gates.
Excergy will help the City identify these critical requirements within the RFP specifications. Another key area of vendor proposal evaluation isthe assessment of risks. The risk assessmentstypically cover technology risks (bleeding edge or obsolescence); quality of delivery; vendor company viability and commitment to industry and product; project cost and schedule; ongoing maintenance and support; quality of installation; and hiring practices used. Excergy’s vendor proposal evaluation processincludes methodical assessments of these risks.
The use of the existing Excergy evaluation methodology and framework ensures a disciplined, fair, and consistent evaluation processthat isfully documented, traceable, and defensible—providing substantial credibility to the Ukiah City Management, Utility Board, or any regulatory agency.
RESPONSE TOUKIAHRFPFOR CISPROJECTMANAGEMENT SERVICES
7 Subtask 3.3: Evaluate Vendor Responses
As part of the selection process, we will guide Ukiah’s evaluation team in a thorough review of the proposals. In your evaluation of responses, Ukiah’sreview team should not be prematurely influenced by price; we will inspect pricing tablesto make sure that they are complete and responsive. If there are a sufficient number of proposals, we expect to create a short list. Excergy will help develop and prepare demonstration scripts and lists of questions to make sure vendorsfocus on Ukiah’s major concernsin their presentations. We will attend the vendor demonstrations and assist in responding to follow‐up information requests.
Should Ukiah staff decide to visitselected sites where the short‐listed vendors have implemented systems, Excergy will help arrange the visits and prepare questions and agendas.
We will assist the City in evaluating the proposals based on the written documents, vendor presentations, references, and additional due diligence (e.g., “problem” deployments). Excergy will analyze the life‐cycle costs associated with each proposal and facilitate the project team’sfinalselection. Excergy will provide a summary score sheet that combines the detailed proposal evaluations, the reference checks and interviews, and the risk assessments.
Subtask 3.4: Make Recommendations on Vendor Responses
Consistent with the solicitation framework,selection criteria, and results of interviews and demonstrations developed previously, Excergy willsummarize and present the scoring and rank order of the responses based on the established standardsfor finalselection. It is expected that the City will then reach a conclusion asto the successful respondent based on Excergy’sfacilitation around scoring.
Subtask 3.5: Assist with Vendor Negotiations & Contracting Excergy willsupport Ukiah’s negotiations with the selected vendor, from establishing a negotiationsstrategy through negotiations and contracting. This effort involvesthe following activities:
► Develop vendor negotiation strategy
► Conduct initial preparation of negotiations
► Support Scope of Work and contract negotiation including SLAs ► Execute Vendor Contract
Contract documents would be finalized by Ukiah procurement and legal personnel, but Excergy would provide necessary assistance in that process.

Appendix B: Additional Information
While not part of the proposed scope ofservices requested in the RFP, we are providing a description of our holistic project approach that many of our customers choose to follow during CIS implementation. Excergy believesit isimportant to consider not only the technology but also the people and process aspects of the implementation. This information is provided to assist the City in understanding our full capabilities to support your CIS Project Management engagement.
Business Process Transformation
With the implementation of a new technology, the processes used by the utility may need to change to most effectively take advantage of thistechnology. These changes will likely improve the efficiency of the City and have a positive impact on customerservice.
Excergy approaches business processtransformation by first conducting a business processimpact assessment to identify the existing organizations, business processes, and systemsthat will be impacted by the selected CIS software implementation. This assessment initiates the appropriate business processreengineering activities to prepare for the CIS solution.
Once the assessment is complete, Excergy employs a three‐stage implementation to effectively transform the utility’s business processes. The firststage preparesfor the CIS vendor workshops and produces estimated to‐be business process modelsfor the project and itsimpacted technologies and business. The second stage produces additional modelsthat were not needed for the vendor workshops and produces a complete set of materials. The third phase refinesthese models based on the Design/Build Phase of the project and development activities that occur asthe vendor design decisions are finalized.
In the first and second stages of Business Process work, Excergy facilitates business process assessmentsessions with the utility to identify the day‐to‐day business processesthat will be affected by the CIS project. Initially, the sessions addressthe “as‐is” or current business practices, and then produce a baseline set of “to‐be” future state, new CIS technology enabled, business processes. To accomplish this, Excergy uses our reference models, vendor information, and past experience to facilitate these sessions. Gaps are identified between each CIS enabled business process and the utility’s existing business processes.
Our reference models provide a baseline “to‐be” state for the process workshops and are organized by the major process groupings,such as:
► Manage customer interactions and customerservice.
► Schedule, assign, perform, and close field work specifically related to customer service. ► Provide back‐office support.
The goal of the workshop sessions isto assessthe following:
► If the CIS enabled business processes accurately reflect the utility’s goals and vision and to ensure alignment with the culture, organization, and any other applicable constraints (such asthe governing body). ► At a high‐level, the major known gaps, benefits, and risk areas associated with the future state, CIS enabled, business processes.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communications
Of the many lessonslearned in CIS projects over the past decade, one of the most important is how critical it isto plan, manage, and engage stakeholders to build understanding and align expectations. For municipal utilities, effective engagement is not only essential to successful project implementation, but also aligns with and enhancesthe historic relationship between the utility and the community itserves. Excergy staff managed the research and development of APPA’s Smart Grid Customer Engagement Essentials. We also received recognition from the Department of Energy as best‐in‐class for ARRA smart grid communications efforts. This work combines with our planning and implementation experience for effective strategy and efficient implementation.
Both internal and externalstakeholders need to be engaged to addressthe needs of the community and support successful project implementation. Working with staff, Excergy consultants assess overallstakeholder endorsement levels and methods used, then develop engagementstrategiesleveraging—and perhaps expanding—those methods.
The goal ofstakeholder engagement isto effectively inform and engage the supporters while minimizing the impact of resistors, by offering factual responsesto concerns and options to meet their needs. For example, there are three known topics of concern that must be addressed in CIS projects: (1) price/rates; (2) privacy and data security; (3) data accuracy. Although public resistance to CIS projectsis minimal, recent experiencesindicate that utilities must be prepared and addressthese issues nonetheless.
Excergy develops clear plans for Stakeholder Engagement/ Communicationsthat leverage existing utility practices and address both strategy and tactical implementation.
Organizational Change Management
The transformative nature of technology projectsrequiresthatstaff adjust work processes and routines to effectively use the systems and realize the significant benefits both internal and external to the organization. This change needsto be handled efficiently and effectively thereby reducing staff apprehension and providing the toolsthey need to succeed. This task supports successful project implementation through internal OCM.
Effective OCM is grounded in basic human psychology,starting with addressing each individual’s question, “What’sin it for me?” Once that is addressed, there isreceptivity to building the knowledge necessary to influence attitudes and support behavior change,such as a new way of performing job duties. For example, in the case of CIS projects, reassignment of certain staff (e.g., customerservice and billing personnel) based on the new technology capabilities is an issue that must be forthrightly addressed early in the process.
Over the past few years, effective OCM has been recognized as a criticalsuccess factor for technology project implementation. The job of change management isto fundamentally move people as efficiently and effectively from the currentstate to high performance in the new environment.
Excergy works with utilities to develop an OCM approach that includes practical and effective activities designed to support the transition of people and processesto realize the benefits of the new technology. This OCM plan provides strategies and details tacticsthat maximize performance prior to, during, and after the technology implementation.
Excergy uses a proprietary Alignment Optimization methodology, which is based on Nobel Prize‐winning work on how individuals and teams make effective decisions and take coordinated action. This technology‐enabled consulting methodology—combined with traditional consulting and facilitated workshops—creates both a unified vision and a powerful drive toward effective implementation.
Experience showsthat having a clear and unified vision for a technology project from the outset greatly enhances projectsuccess.

1. 2014-28 CC Reso - Establishing Expenditure Plan for Public Safety and Oversight Board
2. Measure P Financial Report, FYs 2019 and 2020
Summary: During the summer of 2014, the Ukiah City Council approved Resolution 2014-28 establishing a spending plan for Public Safety and the creation of an Oversight Board to make reports on the public safety plan. In February of 2022, the City Council selected the Oversight Board, which has now met and reviewed the Measure P Annual Financial Report.
The purpose of this public hearing is to report on the Measure P Oversight Board’s findings.
Background: During the summer of 2014, the City of Ukiah began the effort to renew Measure S, a ½ cent sales tax. During this process, the City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2014-28 (Attachment 1), which established an expenditure plan for public safety and an Oversight Board to make periodic reports on the performance of the public safety spending plan.
The Ukiah City Council also unanimously adopted Resolution 2014-29, which was placed on the November 2014 regular municipal election ballot, calling for the extension of the one-half percent general sales tax without a sunset clause. In November of 2014, 76% of Ukiah’s participating voters approved Measure P.
In February of 2022, the Ukiah City Council selected and appointed a Measure P Oversight Board to participate in the process and conduct the review for Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020. The selected members included Anothony Selvitella (representing Ukiah Fire), Max Brazill (representing Ukiah Police) and three atlarge members; Edward Eversole, Roe Sandelin, and Larry Olson.
The Measure P Oversight Committee met on March 15, 2022, and reviewed and discussed the City’s Measure P Annual Financial Reports.
Discussion: At the March 15, 2022, Measure P Oversight Board meeting, the committee members met, along with City of Ukiah representatives, Kristine Lawler, Daniel Buffalo, and Noble Waidelich. To begin the process, City Clerk Lawler issued the Oath of Office to the committee members. Finance Director Daniel Buffalo reviewed the City’s Annual Measure P Financial Reports for FY 2019 and FY2020, and the Oversight members asked questions concerning the Public Safety budgets and overall staffing needs of both Police and Fire. (Attachment 2)
The committee discussed Police and Fire services within Ukiah, and the response area of the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority. The committee discussed the fact that costs of services have increased over the years. The committee discussed what revenue options were available to Police and Fire services and how annexation could increase revenues and or benefit the service area.
The committee voted unanimously to adopt the City’s Annual Measure P Financial Reports, in which funds were spent in alignment with the Measure P expenditure plan incorporated in the resolution for FY 2019 and FY 2020, which includes staffing levels, and the historical expenditure of funds to support public safety. The committee did not require any additional documentation, or have any additional concerns regarding the expenditures.
Recommended Action: Resolution 2014-28 directs the City Council to conduct a Public Hearing, receive the Measure P Annual Financial Report, and if no further action is desired, disband the committee.
Citizen advisement: Notice to be published in Ukiah Daily Journal no less than 10 days prior to the Public Hearing, placed in the Civic Center Public Binder and available for public review on the City's website at http://www.cityofukiah.com/projects/notices-and-bulletins/ under the Public Notices tab.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH ESTABLISHING AN
EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND AN OVERSIGHT BOARD TO MAKE
PERIODIC REPORTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE EXPENDITURE PLAN WHEREAS:
I
1. The City of Ukiah is 47 square miles in size, but is surrounded by additional urban areas and residential subdivisions within an unincorporated portion of Mendocino County. The Ukiah Valley is the most populous portion of Mendocino County, containing, at least, 2/ 3 of the total county population; and
2. The California Department of Finance estimates the population of the City of Ukiah (" City") Iasof January 1, 2004, at 15, 907 people and 16, 185 as of January 1, 2014; and
3. Ukiah is the County Seat for Mendocino County and a commercial center for Mendocino County, Lake County, Southern Humboldt County and Northern Sonoma County; and I4. As such during business hours, the City population swells to perhaps as many as 40, 000 people, including people who work, shop and receive services in Ukiah; and
5. Ukiah also is located on U. S. Highway 101, which is the major north- south highway west of I Interstate Highway 5, and links southem California to Northem California and Oregon; and i
6. Consequently, a small city with a population of 15, 907 people in 2004 and 16, 185 in 2014 must provide law enforcement, fire protection and emergency medical services to a day time population of 40, 000, and respond to emergencies within the City, on U. S. Highway 101, and on a mutual aid basis within the larger Ukiah Valley; and
7. Public safety services are a general fund obligation of the City, which receives revenues from ad valorem property taxes, sales taxes and vehicle license fees. The City receives only 1% of the gross receipts from taxable retail sales within the City and less than 10% of the property taxes collected from real property located within the City; and
8. While population within the Ukiah Valley and City of Ukiah has grown over the last 30 years, calls for police services have also grown significantly. Calls for police services has I increased from around 2500 calls in 1969 to over 25, 000 in 2014, or by 1000%. Calis for service have increased in virtually every category, including assaults with weapons, burglary, thefts and shoplifting, drugs, sexual assaults and domestic violence; and
9. In contrast, between the years 1989 and 2003, the number of sworn officers in the Ukiah Police Department has remained constant at 28 officers; and
10. Calls for fire services have also grown. Between 1986 and 2012, fire calls increased 61% from 1. 353 in 1986 to 3, 277 in 2012; and
11. In 1988, the Ukiah Valley Fire District contracted with the City of Ukiah to provide fire I services. The combined fre department had 15 firefighters; and
12. In 1988, the Ukiah Valley Fire District and City of Ukiah fire departments elected to I
independently provide fire services to their communities. Over the next 20 years, City of Ukiah Fire Department continued to provide at least 15 firefighter staffing; and
13. In 2003, due to the State of California' s budget deficit, the City' s general fund revenues were decreased significantly; and
I
ATTACHMENT 1
14. As a result, the City was faced with substantial deficits for fiscal years 2004- 2005, which required lay- offs or other reductions in expenditures for public safety services in the City; and
15. These budget deficits lead to deferment of equipment replacements, including fire engines, the City' s ladder truck and police patrol cars; and
16. To address the significant demands of an increased public safety workload and provide funding for necessary equipment, in June of 2005, the Citizens of Ukiah passed by a majority vote, Measure S, a '/ z cent general sales tax measure (" Measure S Sales Tax"), and Measure T, an accompanying advisory measure, which said that the first priority for additional sales tax funds should be support of essential public safety services; and
17. Measure S provided funding that has been used to increase the Police Department staffing from 28 sworn officers to 32 sworn officers. The 4 additional officers ( one per work shift) were added to address workload increases and decrease response times; and
18. Measure S allowed the Fire Department to replace aging fire equipment, including the City' s essential ladder truck, and other fire vehicles, and maintain a staff of at least 15 firefighters, with at least 4 firefighters on duty per shift for emergency services; and
19. In 2008, the Nation, State of California and the City of Ukiah, experienced a recession which significantly reduced city revenues from sales taxes, including revenues received from Measure S. Due to these budget deficits, the City' s general fund revenues were significantly decreased; and
20. This unanticipated nation- wide recession forced the City of Ukiah to eliminate open positions, layoff personnel and reduce general fund budgets; and
21. Over the last six years, every employee in the City of Ukiah has had a 5% reduction in pay, and absorbed increases to their health insurance costs, in addition to various unpaid furloughs and reduced work hours which were made necessary by significantly reduced sales and property tax revenues ; and
22. The City of Ukiah fully complied with the PERS retirement cost reductions, reducing retirements costs for new employees; and
23. The Police Department was reduced over a two year period from 32 sworn officers to 30 sworn, then 26 sworn officers, because of the 2008 recession and reduction in General Fund revenues and Measure S revenues; and
24. The Fire Department operated ambulance service was eliminated as an additional measure to economize in response to the 2008 recession and reduction in Measure S Sales Tax and General Fund revenues, because the cost of the ambulance service exceeded the limited compensation from reduced Medi- Cal and Medi- Care reimbursements; and
25. As the economy improved, and General Fund revenues and Measure S Sales Tax revenues have been restored to the levels prevailing before the 2008 recession, the City of Ukiah has worked to improve public safety services to the Ukiah community; and
26. For a two year period commencing January 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2015, the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley Fire District have entered a contract to provide fire services to the entire Ukiah Valley and City of Ukiah; and
27. This agreement has increased the available on- duty firefighting staff to 18 firefighters, ( 11- City paid personnel, 6- District personnel, and shared Fire Chief ) a combined twodepartment volunteer firefighter force, with an increased firefighter capacity to at least 6 firefighters on- duty each day for firefighting and Paramedic medical services; and
28. The City Council has reauthorized the Police Department to increase staffing back to 32 sworn officers. The additional officers ( which allow for an extra officer per work shift) were added to address workload increases and decreased response times; and
29. Unlike the City' s 1% share of the current 825% statewide sales tax, all sales taxes produced by Measure S must remain in the City of Ukiah. These taxes cannot be taken away by the State of California. Although enacted as a general tax which can lawfully be used for any municipal purpose, the City Council has and by this resolution will continue to place the Measure S Sales Tax revenue in a designated account within its budget and financial statements so that its use for public safety services can be reviewed, audited and accounted for; and
30. In addition, it is the intent of this resolution to commit the City to maintain the amount of general fund revenues supporting public safety at or above current levels. This resolution also commits the City to maintain the current level of public safety services, including a minimum of 32 sworn police officer, and the level of fire prevention and protective services commensurate with the City of Ukiah' s portion of any City and District contractual agreement forjoint fire, paramedic and fire prevention operations; and
31. Measure S will sunset in September of 2015. Without the continuation of Measure S Sales Tax revenue, the City of Ukiah could not maintain current Police and Fire services. Without Measure S Sales Tax revenues, the City of Ukiah would be forced to reduce or eliminate some or all of these essential public safety services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. EXPENDITURE PLAN: While the revenue received by the City from Measure S Sales Tax is unrestricted general fund revenue, by this resolution, the City Council commits to using these revenues to provide public safety services. " Public safety services" means law enforcement and crime prevention services provided by the Ukiah Police Department, and fire protection and prevention and emergency medical services provided by the Ukiah Fire Department, by contract with the Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District or any other arrangement approved by the City Council. These taxes may be used to pay for such public safety services expenses as the training and salaries, including overtime and specialty pay, and fringe benefits, of public safety officers and support staff working in the Police Department and of firefighters, emergency medical technicians and support staff providing fire prevention and protection services to the City. These funds may also be used for operating expenses, and the purchase of vehicles, equipment and supplies, and capital improvements used exclusively for Public safety services.
A. Accountinq for Public Safetv Services Revenue. In each fiscal year commencing with the 2014- 2015 fiscal year, for purposes of accounting for the use of these revenues, the City shall continue to credit to an account or fund in the City' s budget and financial records, to be designated by the Finance Director, all of the following: ( 1) Measure S Sales Tax revenue; and ( 2) " Public Safety Revenue" which is the revenue produced by the Police and Fire Departments.
3
B. Minimum level of Public Safetv Services. The City shall maintain a minimum level of public safety services, but nothing in this resolution prevents the City Council from establishing a higher level of public safety services, reorganizing or changing the method of providing public safety services or reducing staffing for public safety where required by financial necessity resulting from circumstances beyond the control of the City, such as a prolonged recession like the one experienced in 2008 or other prolonged and substantial reduction in general fund revenues. The minimum level of public safety services shall be the level of such services available in the City in the 2014- 15 fiscal year, including the following: ( 1) thirty-two 32) full-time peace officers as defined in Penal Code Section 7 and Title 3, Part 2, Chapter 4. 5 commencing with Section 830), and the level of fire prevention and protective services commensurate with the City of Ukiah' s portion of any City and District contractual agreement for joint fire, paramedic, and fire prevention operations .
2. OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. Every two years after the Effective Date of Ordinance No. 1149, extending the Measure S sales tax, the City Council shall appoint five people to an Oversight Committee" the only function of which shall be to review the City' s budget for public safety services and the expenditure of the revenues so budgeted. The persons appointed to the Oversight Committee should represent a broad range of interests in the City, including such interests as business owners, ethnic minorities, ( 1) Ukiah City firefighter, ( 1) Ukiah City peace officer, homeowners and tenants.
The City Manager shall provide the Oversight Committee with any information it requests which is not exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act and shall assist it in organizing and analyzing the information so provided. The Oversight Committee must prepare a written report which shall be presented to the City Council at a noticed public hearing and which shall be available to the general public for not less than 10 calendar days prior to the scheduled hearing date. The report shall contain an analysis of the level and types of service provided by the City' s police department and fire department or other arrangement approved by the City Council, the revenues and expenditures of the designated fund or account. It shall also make recommendations concerning the future use of these funds and levels and types of service. The Oversight Committee shall dissolve after it files its report with the City Council, until a new Oversight Committee is appointed for the next two year review.
3. ACCOUNTING FOR MEASURE S SALES TAX REVENUE. All Measure S Sales Tax revenues and all interest on said revenues shall be credited to the designated fund or account and shall be designated for use in accordance with this Resolution.

Fiscal Year 2019
Measure P - Fiscal Year 2018-19
Measure P, passed by a simple majority (50 percent plus 1) of Ukiah voters in November of 2014, is a general (unrestricted) transaction and use tax. A general, unrestricted tax is one that can be used to fund any program, function, service, or project at the discretion of the City Council. It is not a special, restricted tax, which would require approval of two-thirds of the voting public. It continued a sun-set transaction and use tax, known as Measure S (2005), accompanied by an advisory Measure T (2005). Measure P, however, was passed with no advisory measure.
The purpose of Measure P is to augment public safety expenditures to provide a higher level of police and fire service to the community. Amounts collected from the tax are to be used in addition to the commitment of the General Fund and not in replacement of. The following graph demonstrates how the past revenue measure (S) and now Measure P have been employed with relation to the General Fund.
Every year, the City Council appropriates resources in the amount of revenue expected from Measure P for projects, programs, and activities that are in the spirit of the measure. The City Council has committed these funds to enhance the General Fund activities in public safety. Below is a schedule of what those were and what resources were allocated to them.

Measure P - Fiscal Year 2019-20
Measure P, passed by a simple majority (50 percent plus 1) of Ukiah voters in November of 2014, is a general (unrestricted) transaction and use tax. A general, unrestricted tax is one that can be used to fund any program, function, service, or project at the discretion of the City Council. It is not a special, restricted tax, which would require approval of two-thirds of the voting public. It continued a sun-set transaction and use tax, known as Measure S (2005), accompanied by an advisory Measure T (2005). Measure P, however, was passed with no advisory measure.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of Resolution to Remove On-Street Parking on State Street, from the Intersection of Mill Street to Beacon Lane.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst PRESENTER: Tim Eriksen, Director of Public Works

1. Proposed No Parking Notice
2. Public Comment
3. Resolution
Summary: Council will consider adoption of a resolution to remove on-street parking on State Street, from the intersection of Mill Street to southern city limits (Beacon Lane) .
Background: "Complete streets" is a transportation policy and design approach that requires streets to be planned, designed, operated and maintained to enable safe, convenient and comfortable travel and access for users of all ages and abilities regardless of their mode of transportation. The California Complete Streets Act (AB 1358), adopted in 2008, requires that cities and counties incorporate “Complete Street” policies when updating their General Plan Circulation Element. Ukiah's General Plan is in the process of being updated now (https://ukiah2040.com/); however, Engineering Staff and City contractors have already been working to incorporate Complete Streets principles into their designs for many years. Recently, in anticipation of an accelerated street improvement schedule, the City Council created a Complete Streets Ad Hoc Committee and appointed Members Rodin and Crane to participate in this effort.
The design of South State Street between Mill and Beacon has been approved by Council. In order to incorporate Complete Streets principles, the design by Engineering staff included buffered bike lanes. This item requires very little engineering but will provide a significant benefit to the multimodal community. The design has been approved by the Ukiah City Council, but the elimination of parking is also required to accommodate the bike lanes.
Discussion: On March 24, 2022, Public Works sent out a notice informing stakeholders (property owners and occupants of those addresses) of the proposal to remove on-street parking along both sides of State Street between Mill Street and Beacon Lane, the southernmost street within the city limits. A copy of the notice can be found in Attachment 1. Public Works Staff has monitored this area for several months and has noted very few cars parked along this affected area. Of the cars that were occasionally parked in this area, it appears that all of them had other nearby parking options.
As of writing this agenda item, Public Works Staff has received one comment from the dentist's office located at 1119 S. State Street. Their comments and concerns can be found in Attachment 2.
The results of removing the on-street parking are depicted on the map (Exhibit A to the Resolution). Staff is recommending that Council adopt the Resolution (Attachment 3) removing the on-street parking on both sides of State Street between Mill Street and Beacon Lane.
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution removing on-street parking on State Street from the intersection of Mill Street to Southern City Limits (Beacon Lane).

RE: Proposed no parking on State Street between Mill Street and Beacon Lane To Whom it may concern:
This letter is meant to notify you of a proposed project to remove parking along State Street between Mill Street and Beacon Lane as shown on the back of this letter. The purpose of this change is part of a project to repave this section of State Street. The removal of parking is required in order to install protected bike lanes for this area.
The proposal will be presented and discussed at the April 6 th, 2022 City Council Meeting held within the
City of Ukiah Civic Center at 300 Seminary Ave. Instructions on how to attend this meeting virtually can be found at http://www.cityofukiah.com/meetings/

Good Morning. I am writing in regard to the proposed bike lane from Mill St. to Beacon Ln.
We are very concerned about not having any street parking for our employees/patients. We currently have ten (one handicap) parking spaces on our property and we have ten employees that work and they park on the street to allow our patients to park in our spaces. We object to removing street parking. This is not acceptable. Please contact us with any questions.

Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.
Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These assignments are included as Attachment 1.
Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.
In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify assignments as necessary.
Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).
