City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: August 15, 2023
Submitted By:

Sophie Smith, Deputy City Manager / City Treasurer

Subject:

Purchase of Fleet Vehicles and Equipment for Fiscal Year 2023 and Fiscal Year 2024 Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council, SCLAA, and Victorville Water District Board of Directors:
1) Reject the bid, CC23-096 Purchase of New Vehicles;
2) Approve the purchase of fleet vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment from the vehicle/equipment list for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 and Fiscal Year 2023/2024 through several procurement methods such as cooperative purchasing programs, lead agency piggyback programs, and availability of suitable dealer lot inventory; and
3) Authorize the City Manager/Executive Director/General Manager to execute any and all documents necessary for such purchases.

Fiscal Impact:

All requested vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment purchases budgeted for in the FY 2022-2023 budget were rolled over to the FY 2023-2024 budget in the amount of $2,325,998.00 and all requested vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment budgeted for the FY 2023-2024 adopted budget, add up to $5,111,804.34. When combined, the budgeted amounts to $7,437,802.34, and are reflected in various City accounts as listed on the next page.

In addition to the budgeted amount, a 10% contingency amount of $743,780.23 is being requested due to the increased vehicle pricing occurring nationwide as a result of limited inventory. Such contingency will be absorbed as needed through the existing department budgets. As such, no additional appropriation is needed at this time and the total fiscal impact of this approval is $8,181,582.57.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The fleet vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment purchases align with Goals B and E.

Goal B: Public Safety – Implement public safety strategies to support a thriving and growing community. Many of the vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment are utilized by staff in the Fire and Code Enforcement Departments, allowing for reliable new vehicles and equipment to proactively support public safety functions for the community and to maintain and enhance service levels.

Goal E: Invest in Infrastructure – Create a healthy and livable community by maintaining the City’s assets through investment in infrastructure and innovations. Multiple field departments are responsible for maintaining the City’s infrastructure such as our parks, roadways, facilities, and water systems, and the use of new, reliable vehicles and equipment allows staff the necessary resources to ensure the City’s infrastructure is well maintained and will be around for many years to come.

Background:

Back in March of 2022, staff approached the City Council with an alternative procurement solution to purchase much needed fleet vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment. The basis for the alternative procurement solution was due to the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic which initiated supply chain/production issues in the vehicle and equipment marketplace. Staff communicated with multiple manufacturers and dealers and were told 3 2
5 1
they could not guarantee delivery dates after orders were taken for new vehicles and equipment. Staff recommended the City Council grant the City Manager the authority to go out in the marketplace to purchase much needed vehicles and equipment based on available inventory through dealership lots and cooperative agency programs. The City Council approved staff’s recommendation to purchase 27 vehicles and equipment out in the marketplace for $1,838,100.00 which included a 10% contingency. Staff was successful and able to purchase and receive all 27 vehicles and equipment for $1,772,922.24.

In March of 2023, staff initiated a Request for Bid for 14 fleet vehicles, a majority in the truck category. Staff advertised the procurement solicitation in the Daily Press and the San Bernardino Sun newspapers. Staff posted the bid package on eBidboard, emailed out the bid solicitation to 24 prospective dealerships throughout Southern California, and hand delivered the bid package to all of our local dealers in Victorville.

On April 19, 2023, the City received one bid submittal from Penske Chevrolet out of Cerritos, CA. Penske Chevrolet bid on all vehicles, but they submitted a compact truck model that did not meet the requested specifications. They also indicated on their bid submittal, delivery timeframes would be anywhere from 6 months to over a year and they could not guarantee if they could meet these timeframes based on supply chain/production issues still existing within the auto industry. Staff reached out to Penske Chevrolet to see if there was a way to pay a premium to expedite the delivery timeframes and they indicated it was out of their control and they could not expedite the vehicles any sooner than the stated delivery timeframe submitted in their proposal. Staff is requesting the City Council reject this bid based on performance timeliness.

Over the next few days after the bid was submitted, staff reached out to several local dealerships to find out why they did not participate in the City’s bid solicitation and below are the results:
•VV Chevrolet did not have time to compare the requested specifications to their specifications;
•Sunland Ford could not place orders since their inventory allocation was already balanced for the season. They tried to bid on the compact trucks, but the factory could not guarantee a delivery date;
•Caposio Buick-GMC stated it would be difficult to participate in the bidding process since they do not have a fleet manager;
•Victorville Motors did not meet the bid due date and time; •Valley Hi-Nissan could not bid based on the specifications against their models of vehicles; and,
•Valley Hi-Toyota had no inventory to comply with our specifications.

Discussion:

As you can see, as of 3 1/2 months ago, the vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment industry has not fully recovered from the effects of the COVID-19 supply/production issues. The shortage of vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment has resulted in limited availability of inventory nationwide and has driven the price of new and used vehicles to 3 2
5 1
an all-time high. The City’s municipal code 2.28.100(a)(5) “Purchases of general supplies and equipment with an estimated cost in excess of fifty thousand dollars”, stipulates if no bid or no responsive bid is received after inviting bids under this section, the City Manager may proceed to procure the equipment in the open market.

The City is currently in a new fiscal year with new vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment requests in the adopted budget for fiscal year 2023-2024. Staff is recommending we combine both fiscal year requests into one City Council action to authorize the City Manager to again, go out to our local and regional dealers, along with cooperative agencies to purchase the requested vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment based on availability. Several City departments have communicated several issues in not receiving replacement vehicles, specialty vehicles and equipment in a timely manner. It has caused increased maintenance costs along with delayed tasks due to current vehicles and equipment being out of service for much needed repairs. Reliable vehicles and equipment are a major factor in maintaining the service levels our City staff provides to our community on a daily basis. Without these resources, our infrastructure could see accelerated deterioration resulting in increased costs in the long term and a decline in the level of service being provided by City staff.

Per the City’s Municipal Code 2.28.120 “Purchasing of supplies and equipment through cooperative purchasing arrangements”, the City may utilize various cooperative purchasing programs, to take advantage of volume pricing, entered in to by any local, state, or federal governmental agencies, if the underlying purchase was made using quotation or bid procedures at least as restrictive as the City’s.

The State of California Contract administered by the Department of General Services is deemed by the Purchasing Division to be in conformance with the City’s quotation or bid procedures to permit reasonable competition, provided supplies and equipment purchased are the same and offered at the same price as the supplies and equipment subject to the agreement or program. The State of California and other nationwide cooperative programs offer a multitude of cooperatively contracted vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment to government entities that cannot be procured from local dealers. City staff would like to take advantage of these programs to ensure future deliveries of vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment from our lists. City staff will conduct due diligence cost analyses to ensure the City does not overpay for vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment on the open market and will utilize the cooperative purchasing programs as available.

Fleet Division staff worked with all departments to gather vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment needs and combined the lists from FY2022-2023 and FY2023-2024 for City Council approval for the City Manager to purchase from local and regional dealerships, cooperative agencies, and piggyback opportunities when available. Each vehicle, specialty vehicle, and equipment has been budgeted across various City departments 3 2
5 1
and such budget will be utilized for the purchases. The City is looking to reserve vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment as they become available with the intent of securing the bookings with purchase orders for confirmed build and delivery dates that meet the City’s needs along with available inventory on the dealer lots.

The City Council’s approval to procure fleet vehicles, specialty vehicles, and equipment will enable the City to secure guaranteed delivery dates and purchase available inventory for much needed vehicles and equipment.

Staff is available to answer any questions the Council may have.

Subject:

Purchase of Thirty-Six Firefighting Personal Protective Equipment Turnouts Recommendation:

That the Honorable City Council approve the purchase of thirty-six (36) firefighting Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) turnouts from AllStar Fire Equipment, Inc in the amount of $153,076.50
Fiscal Impact:

The purchase will have a total fiscal impact of $153,076.50, the funds were budgeted under Fire Personal Protective Equipment, account no. 1002010-52220-96016. No additional appropriations are required for this account.

Strategic Plan Goal:

This item aligns with Goal G., Strategy 1. in the Strategic Plan, “Develop comprehensive workplace safety standards (physical, environmental, other) for employees in light of changing conditions”. It is a safety standard for firefighters to have the proper safety equipment, including turnouts.

Background:

Twelve (12) new firefighter/paramedics positions were approved with the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 budget. Additional to the twelve (12) new positions, there were also existing vacancies, totaling to eighteen (18) new potential hires. All incoming firefighters should have two sets of PPE turnouts ordered immediately after being hired as they are needed for their initial training. The second set serves as a backup as they get damaged and worn out through time.

Discussion:

The hiring process has been initiated and eleven (11) potential candidates will be starting soon. AllStar Fire Equipment, Inc. qualifies as a sole source for turnouts as they are 3 2
5 4
exclusively assigned to distribute the Lion brand in California which is currently used by the Victorville Fire Department. Unfortunately, due to demand, the average time to receive the turnouts is an average of four (4) to five (5) months. Therefore, staff is requesting the approval of the purchase of thirty-six (36) firefighting PPE turnouts from AllStar Fire Equipment, Inc. for all eighteen (18) vacancies now so staff can purchase the turnouts immediately as candidates complete the hiring process.

Staff is available to answer any questions the Council may have.

Subject:

Victorville Strategic Plan 2023 - 2026
Recommendation:

That your Honorable City Council adopts the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026.

Background:

In 2019, the City Council provided direction to facilitate a governance workshop as well as to develop a long-term vision, mission, and goals for the City of Victorville. Resulting from that direction, a three-year Strategic Plan was adopted in October of 2020. In this first three-year plan, the Council established a new mission, vision, values, multi-year goals and various strategies for achieving those goals. Since adoption of the plan, City staff has worked tirelessly to achieve the goals that were established, and the City was able to accomplish or make meaningful progress on all the seven goals approved by the Council.

Beginning in January of 2023, staff began working with the firm Baker Tilly to assist with the development of the new Strategic Plan which will provide the City with a clear path and a clear set of goals and strategies through FY 2025-26.

Discussion:

The new three-year Strategic Plan, covering the years FY 2023-24 through FY 2025-26, essentially builds on our first Strategic Plan adopted in October of 2020. Developing the Strategic Plan was a collaborative effort involving the City Council as well as the leadership team with input from the community and City of Victorville employees. The process began with individual interviews with members of the Council which was intended 3 2
3 2
to seek their input regarding accomplishments, major challenges facing the City and key priorities for the next three years. In addition, an online community survey was conducted as well as a survey of City employees to gather input for the strategic plan. During the planning process, all City departments completed a status update worksheet providing information about accomplishments, items in progress, and detailed information about projects and initiatives of importance over the next several years. Two City Council workshops were held as part of the overall strategic planning process. The first Council workshop focused on effective governance and was held on March 28, 2023. The second Council workshop was held on July 18, 2023, and focused on the mission, vision, values, goals, and strategies of the Strategic Plan.

In this new Strategic Plan, we have updated the mission and vision statements, so they are better aligned with the goals of the Council and the City. Additionally, we retained the seven goals from 2020 and established new or updated strategies for achieving each goal. Our plan focuses on City Council priorities of financial sustainability; public safety; community and economic development; reduce homelessness; invest in infrastructure; communications and outreach; and organizational effectiveness and sustainability.

Following adoption of the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026, the Leadership team will work together to complete the attached Implementation Action Plan (Attachment B). The Implementation Action Plan is a separate document which provides specific details including the starting year, lead person, and key tasks for each strategy. The Implementation Action Plan will assist the leadership team with tracking progress and reporting accomplishments to Council.

The attached City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026 (Attachment A) is being presented for adoption at this time.

Staff remains available for any questions or comments you may have.

This three-year Strategic Plan, covering the years FY 2023-24 through FY 2025-26, builds on our first Strategic Plan adopted in 2020 which also was for three years.

In that first plan, the Council established a new mission statement, vision for the future, values, and a set of goals. In this new Strategic Plan, we retained the seven goals from 2020 and established new or updated strategies for achieving each goal.

The mission and vision statements have also been updated with this new Strategic Plan.

Our plan focuses on City Council priorities of financial sustainability; public safety; community and economic
development; reduce homelessness; invest in infrastructure; communications and outreach; and organizational effectiveness and sustainability.

I look forward to implementing this Strategic Plan in partnership with our Mayor and City Council, our leadership team, and our entire City staff to make Victorville even better in the future. We have much to be proud of and even more as we move forward together.

Status Update Worksheet
Leadership team members completed a status update worksheet for the strategies in the Strategic Plan for FY 2020 - 2023, providing input about accomplishments, items in progress, and new items for consideration in this new Strategic Plan.

Employee Survey
All employees were offered an opportunity to provide input through a confidential online survey. A total of 247 employees responded providing valuable feedback.

Community Survey
Members of the community were invited to provide input through a confidential online survey. A total of 162 community members responded providing feedback that the City used in updating the strategic plan.

Governance and Strategic Planning Sessions
The City Council met on March 28, 2023, to review its operating norms and on July 18, 2023, to review the new Strategic Plan and identify its priorities for FY 2023-24.

City of Victorville
Draft Implementation Action Plan

August 2023
1 Making the Most of the Draft Implementation Action Plan Baker Tilly has developed this draft Implementation Action Plan to assist the City of Victorville with the phasing and scheduling of its seven strategic plan goals and the corresponding strategies, which we have pre-loaded below in the first column. The work involved in implementing the strageties will need to be integrated into the other work of the departments and divisions tasked with their completion, along with appropriate assignments of responsibility and with the identification of specific planned completion dates. The draft Action Plan begins that process.

This is a three-year implementation plan, so it is important to space the strategies appropriately and realistically given workload and other considerations, such as resource needs (which include staffing, finances, and equipment). Some tips to consider are provided below.

Key Implementation Tasks (Column 2)
This is the heart of the Implementation Action Plan. These are the actions that must be taken to fulfill the strategy and ultimately the goal. Each entry in this column must start with a verb. Each should answer the question, “What do we need to do to complete this strategy?” Lead Responsibility (Column 3)
This column is pre-loaded with the department identified for lead responsibility. However, we suggest replacing the department with a specific individual. One person, and one only should be designated as having management responsibility for completing the item. Please indicate the person’s name and position.

Others Involved (Column 4)
List others who should/will be involved from the City and think about whether there are external partners (e.g., School District officials) that could help with implementation.

List the name and position. This column should not include paid consultants or contractors.

Financial Resources Needed (Column 5)
Will implementation require funding, equipment, contractors, consultants, or other expenditures? If so, indicate what resources are needed that are not currently available in the budget and a dollar amount, if known.

Timeline (Column 6)
Self-explanatory, but it is OK to note a start date only if it will be a long project.

Comments (Column 7)
Self-explanatory.

2 We suggest you use this document to prepare a final Action Plan for the City of Victorville. In doing so, the team will need to identify specific target dates for completing implementation activities associated with each strategy. Additionally, you may want to modify the described activities for implementing an individual strategy based on internal knowledge of what will be required for completion or adjust the assignment of responsibility based on pending or future workload or other considerations. Where a draft task calls for an event to occur “regularly” or with a pre-set frequency (e.g., quarterly, monthly) you will want to assure that your implementing procedure or policy is written to accomplish that objective. Prudent implementation of most strategies will require “circling back” after the work of implementation has begun to fine-tune the work or the milestones based on experience. This step is not explicitly called out for each strategy, however, assessing the progress of implementation (via “circling back”) should be a part of your normal management system. We would be happy to set up a consultation with you to support the conversion of this draft into the implementation Action Plan you can use to manage.

To turn this draft into the Action Plan that is used to manage implementation, fill in the timeline column with actual completion dates. Target dates can be specific (e.g., September 1) or by month or quarter (e.g., 3Q 2024), as appropriate to the individual action.

All of the work to implement the strategies is in addition to the normal work of involved city staff. Baker Tilly has staff associates who are experienced in implementing many of the actions identified in this report. We will welcome the opportunity to assist you in doing so, and in any case, we remain available to consult with you in whatever way we can be helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact Steve Mermell at (818) 321-6817 if we can be of assistance. Steve can also be reached by email at [email protected].

The discipline of successful project planning is basic to the successful execution of the work ahead. We hope that you find the draft Action Plan useful in that regard.

Item Number: 25
City Council / Board of Directors
Written Communications
Meeting of: August 15, 2023
Submitted By:

Andre de Bortnowsky, City Attorney

Subject:

Consideration of Possible Adjustments to Employment Agreement for the City Manager related to Salary
Recommendation:

At the City Council Meeting of July 18, 2023, the City Council reviewed the terms of a City Manager Agreement with Keith C. Metzler. As a result of that review, the City Council asked to agendize a discussion of possible salary adjustments for the City Manager. Any action is at the discretion of the City Council.

Fiscal Impact:

Employee’s base annual salary under the existing contract is $26,022 per month, for an annual amount of $312,264.

No appropriation is necessary at this time, until the City Council provides direction. Staff believes there will be sufficient budget to cover any possible adjustment in salary cost for the remainder of the fiscal year, as there are commonly unexpended funds in various wage accounts due to vacancies
BUDGET ACCT NO:
1001200.51100 – City Manager – 40% allocation
4204076-5110 – VMUS Electric – 30% allocation
4500125-51100 – Airport Operations – 20% allocation
4210200-51100 – VMUS Electric Public Purpose – 5% allocation 4190210-51100 – VMUS Gas – 5% allocation
Background:

The City Manager has been providing services to the City in an interim and permanent capacity since January 2018. Pursuant to the July 2021 City Manager Agreement as 3 2
5 5
amended in August 2022, the City Council recently undertook an annual performance review and shared said review with the City Manager. As a result, the City Council deemed it appropriate to discuss the possibility of salary adjustments based on the City Manager’s performance review.

Discussion:

Attached for the City Council consideration is a list of City manager compensation levels for Cities within some of the neighboring jurisdictions. See Attachment A. To the extent the City Council wishes to adjust the salary of the City Manager, it could do so through a Second Amendment of the City Manager’s existing Contract in the form of Attachment B, attached hereto.
