FOR MEETING EFFICIENCY/VOTECAST IMPLEMENTATION Staff Contact: Tom Duensing, Director, Finance and Technology A motion was made by Councilmember Alvarez,seconded by Councilmember Hugh,that this agenda item be tabled.The motion failed by the following vote: Aye: 3- Mayor Weiers, Councilmember Hugh, and Councilmember Alvarez Nay: 4- Vice Mayor Knaack, Councilmember Martinez, Councilmember Sherwood, and Councilmember Chavira Mr. Duensing said this item requests approval for implementation and maintenance of the meeting efficiency/votecast software. He provided some background information that was presented at previous meetings and staff was directed to bring this item forward at the May 6, 2014 Workshop. He explained the meeting efficiency process and said it was based on Robert's Rules of Order to make council meetings more efficient. He explained the primary uses of the software. Mr. Duensing said Mr. Murphy, IT Director, was available to answer any questions. Councilmember Alvarez asked when the public sees how each Councilmember votes. Mr. Duensing said as items are up for a vote, the public does not see it until the Mayor closes the vote on the agenda item. Councilmember Alvarez said she had a problem with that. She said she is for transparency and the public should be able to see who voted for what immediately. She also said Councilmember should not be making any decisions when 3 current Councilmembers may not be there in December. She said the new city council should be making these decisions. She also said they are under an investigation for violation City of Glendale Page 4 Printed on 10/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 23,2014 of the open meeting law. She said she can't see them making a decision like this and then later on having to retract their decision. She said this item should be tabled until the new council comes in. Councilmember Alvarez moved to table this item until after the new council comes in. Councilmember Hugh seconded the motion. Councilmember Alvarez, Councilmember Hugh and Mayor Weiers voted aye, Vice Mayor Knaack, Councilmember Martinez, Councilmember Chavira and Councilmember Sherwood voted nay. The motion did not carry. Councilmember Hugh commented and said the reason he wanted to table this item was he has been watching the campaigns unfold and candidates seem to be speaking out against the new voting software for the council meetings. He said he would like to give the new council a chance to vote on it. He felt it was a cost he didn't think the city needed to spend. He asked if Mr.Duensing had broken down the costs per year. Mr. Duensing said the cost was about$26,000 one time and the cost for ongoing support is approximately$17,000 per year and going up to$18,000 in the 4th year, Councilmember Hugh said that means it would be about$2,000 per voting meeting. Ms. Fischer said it would also be used for the Planning Commission, so that should be taken into consideration in the calculation. Mr. Duensing said it would be approximately$43,000 for the first year depending on the number of meetings. Councilmember Hugh asked if it was$96,000 for the first year. Mr. Duensing said it is$43,000 for the first year, $17,000 for the 2nd year, $17,000 for the 3rd year and$18,000 for the 4th year, for a total of$96,000 over the four years. Councilmember Hugh said the agreement said it was not to exceed$191,000 for the length of the contract. Mr. Duensing said the city's agenda's management system is also included in those numbers. The item tonight is an amendment to that original contract. Mayor Weiers asked if there were any other costs associated with the electronic voting at all. Mr. Duensing said the city could try and quantify any additional costs, but at this time, the costs presented are for the vendor. He said cost of the city going paperless as well could offset the costs of the software. Mayor Weiers asked if the Councilmembers would need to have an iPad or tablet. Mr. Duensing said as part of the implementation and the upfront cost, the tablets would be provided and installed and remains at the dais for City Council or Board and Commission use in the Council Chambers. He said that cost is included in the original $43,000. Mayor Weiers asked if there were additional labor costs. Mr. Duensing said he was not aware of any additional labor costs. Mayor Weiers said he was told the city would need an additional staff member to assist City of Glendale Page 5 Printed on 10/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 23,2014 with this. Ms. Fischer confirmed that Mayor Weiers was talking about staff present at tonight's meeting. She said the staff that was present at the meetings now was the staff that would be utilized. Mayor Weiers said he was told that the City Clerk's office would have to bring in an additional person. Ms.Fischer said the phase they have already implemented has included an additional staff member, so the upgrades presented in this item would not include an increase of staff. Mayor Weiers asked Mr. Bailey if this passes today, and the new Council opposes this, how does the Council get out of this contract. Mr. Bailey said there were options. He said the term of the underlying contract is in effect for one year after the date it was entered into, and there are options for three more years in one year increments. He said the Councilmembers have the right to renew it every year. He said if the Council does not want to renew it after a year, they do not have to. Mayor Weiers asked if it was correct to assume that they could stop this contract after the first year by not allowing anymore funds for it in the general fund. Mr. Bailey said that was one option. He said there was a restriction on that act, and said it must not be for convenience. He said the way the agreement is structured, if the Council chooses not to renew annually, and then the contract is done. Mayor Weiers said they are still stuck with spending the initial$43,000 no matter what. Mr. Bailey said if there are any amounts due and owing, the city would need to pay those amounts. Councilmember Alvarez said the city does not have any money. She said she would still vote against it and let the new Councilmembers make the decision about it. Councilmember Chavira said this system does make the meeting run very smoothly and going paperless is the wave of the future. He is in favor of this and said this is the way the city needs to go. Councilmember Sherwood said the new Councilmembers are coming on;maybe the Council shouldn't have any more meetings until they come on. He said he is favor of this and it is part of the modules they already have. He said it is efficient. Councilmember Martinez asked Mr. Bailey a question regarding a point of order. He said they should have been asking questions when the presentation was made. He said they are now discussing why they should or should not have this and no motion has been made. He asked if there should be a motion first. Mr. Bailey said there is no reason why they cannot have a robust discussion on this issue. Councilmember Martinez said they are used to doing things in a certain way and some are resistant to change. He said this is a good change and there are other cities using this process. He said it is the wave of the future. He said once they change over, he believed the Councilmembers would find it easier. He also said the audience knows how the vote is going to go after listening to the discussions about the item. He said City of Glendale Page 6 Printed on 10/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 23,2014 once they press the button, everyone will know how each Councilmember voted. Councilmember Alvarez said it is important to consider what the other candidates and the public want. She said if a person wants to make a comment, they only get three minutes to speak. Now, there is no fear in how each Councilmember votes, but she has the fear of spending money. She said they don't need to spend the money and they should be conservative. Vice Mayor Knaack said she has been using the system with her iPad and finds it very efficient and it is just a matter of getting used to it. She said they need to get into the 21st century. She said it is also very important to have this process for the transparency and accuracy of the minutes. She commented that she is still a Councilmember until December 9th and is voting what she thinks is right and not what the candidates want. She said when they are elected, they can vote what they think is right. Councilmember Martinez made a motion to approve the contract with Granicus, and it was seconded by Councilmember Chavira. Councilmember Alvarez said with all the issues in the community, they still don't have recreation programs, the streets are horrible and the budget still is in the negative. She said spending even the initial$43,000 shows what kind of leadership the city has. She said the Councilmembers get paid and they offer the taxpayers nothing. She said the only thing she can think of was the fear of being criticized and if the Councilmembers can't take it, they should get out. Councilmember Martinez said they have heard at meetings that they have no recreation programs. He said that is incorrect. They have recreation programs. He said Mr. Strunk put out a memo listing all the programs the city offers. He said of course they would like more programs, and to hear time after time there are no programs, it gets old. He mentioned how many times he has brought up the$33,000 budgets that each Councilmember gets and the Councilmembers do not seemed to be concerned about that. He said at least half of that could go to recreation programs. He said it is a question of priorities and they do have recreational programs. Councilmember Alvarez said it is correct that they do not have any recreation programs. She said the recreation is provided by nonprofits and the majority of Council doesn't believe they should give money to nonprofits. She said there might be programs up at Foothills. She said they do not have recreation programs and if they are provided, they are provided by nonprofits. She said the money comes from the$33,000 the Councilmembers spend. She said the city needs recreation programs just like any other city. Alie Helm, a Barrel resident, said she was very excited to speak before the Council. She was speaking to both sides of the issue, and said she did not feel the city had the money for this item. She felt the city should move into the electronic age, but said the money could be better spent elsewhere. She suggested the Council table this item until the city has the money. She said her money pays the salary of the city employees. She told the Council she did not want them to spend the money and to wait until they had the money to spend it. Randy Miller, a Barrel resident, said he was not crazy about the software. He also said the city should not be spending the money right now. He said the Councilmembers shouldn't table the issue just so the next group of Councilmembers can vote on it. He said they should table the item until the city has more money in the budget. He said no one has talked about how cost effective this product was and he said it was not. He City of Glendale Page 7 Printed on 10/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 23,2014 said his next comments came from only him and not the police department. Mr. Miller said he works with the citizens police academy and said the city does not have a DARE program. He askedhow far$96,000 would go to reestablishing a DARE program. He also said the ROP program would also benefit from that money. He spoke about all the staff required to implement and support the software. He said the best and brightest employees will be required to get this system up and running. He suggested having the Councilmembers who want to give up part of their Council funds pay for this. Lauren Tolmachoff, a Cholla resident, said when money gets tight, the city has to make a list of needs and wants. She believes this is a want, rather than a needed item. She said voting for this sends the wrong message to taxpayers. She said this does not make sense given the city's financial situation. It is not something the city should do now. Mayor Weiers said the city hall building has roof leaks, and flooding in the basement. He also mentioned several other repairs that need to be done. He said it doesn't make any sense to spend that kind of money that isn't going to change anything. He said this is a legacy of big spending. He spoke about Councilmembers calling into the meetings and asked how this system would work if a Councilmember is calling in. Mr.Bailey said he is not familiar how other cities handle that issue. Mr. Bailey said you cannot vote by proxy in Glendale. He said they could ask for a voice vote in that circumstance. Ms. Fischer said in other cities that have this system, the Councilmembers that are present will push a button and the Councilmember appearing by phone gives an audible vote and it is recorded and posted by the clerk. Mayor Weiers said electronic voting is good and it works, unless a Councilmember is not here so then they go back to the old system. He said it did not make a lot of sense to him. He said he wished the Council would reconsider and didn't like strapping the new Council with this system. A motion was made by Councilmember Martinez,seconded by Councilmember Chavira,that this agenda item be approved.The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 4- Vice Mayor Knaack, Councilmember Martinez, Councilmember Sherwood, and Councilmember Chavira Nay: 3- Mayor Weiers, Councilmember Hugh, and Councilmember Alvarez ITEM 14-132 AND 14-133 16. 14-132 AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO A CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH VIASUN CORPORATION FOR PAVEMENT SLURRY SEAL PROJECT Staff Contact: Jack Friedline, Director, Public Works This agenda item was approved. 17. 14-133 AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO A CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH CACTUS TRANSPORT, INC. FOR PAVEMENT OVERLAY AND RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT City of Glendale Page 8 Printed on 10/24/2014 City Council Meeting Minutes-Final September 23,2014 Staff Contact: Jack Friedline, Director, Public Works This agenda item was approved. Mr. Friedline said these two items are on the city's 2014 pavement management rehab program. He said item 16 deals with slurry seal and item 17 is related to pavement overlay and reconstruction projects. Councilmember Martinez said the city has a plan for the streets system and asked how it is determined which streets get the rehabilitation. Mr. Friedline said the city contracts with a firm that provides the city with information on the quality of the city streets. He said the list is prioritized and they do their best to complete this list with the resources they have. He said they are continuously updating the prioritization list. Councilmember Alvarez asked if they knew which streets were going to be resurfaced. She asked which districts would get the reconstructed streets. Mr. Friedline provided a map of the reconstruction portion of the project. He said the section was on 57 Avenue between Beardsley and Utopia. He also said he had maps that reflected the slurry seal program as well. He said there were a lot more priorities than the city had money for. He said next year they will have about$10 to$12 million available to catch up on the street rehabilitation. Councilmember Alvarez asked where the Ocotillo District would fall in reconstruction or resurfacing. Mr. Friedline said a lot of the streets in the Ocotillo District are scheduled for slurry seal treatments. Councilmember Alvarez asked how many miles of streets were included in the Ocotillo District. Mr. Friedline said they have not done calculations per district. He explained in this contract, there were approximately 14 miles of streets scheduled for rehab. He gave the breakdown for each district. Councilmember Alvarez said the prior department head told them they were going to take care of the streets that needed the least help. She said Ocotillo has a lot of bad streets. She would like to set up a meeting to discuss exactly where the money is going to go. Mr. Friedline said the table presented at a workshop in December shows that information and is glad to meet with the Councilmembers at any time. Councilmember Alvarez said she is interested in putting money into the Ocotillo district. Councilmember Martinez said the numbers read by Mr. Friedline, and asked if Ocotillo had 4 miles of rehabbed streets out of 14 miles total. He said Ocotillo had not quite one fourth of the total rehab project. Councilmember Alvarez asked if those 4 miles were reconstruction or resurfacing. Mr. Friedline said those streets were going to get surface treatment and overlay.
