BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Mr. Nate Boruili5956 W. Morning, Dove Drive Glendale. Arizona stated that the residents of Arrowhead Ranch do not want convenience stores, but gas stations designed to the standards of the community would be acceptable. He noted that lack of public input on issues can be caused by developers not being required to inform the neighborhood about phases of a project, such as design review. He gave, as an example, the project at 67th Avenue and Beardsley Road. He listed various concerns regarding development, i.e. neighborhoods being pitted against each other; lack of information to the public; poor public signage regarding development, particularly commercial development; traffic impacts caused by development, construction of convenience stores and apartments which may not have been identified at the public hearings; and conflicts regarding control of the Arrowhead Phase III Homeowners Association. Mr. Borum suggested that these were issues the City Council needed to be concerned about in the future. CONSENT AGENDA Councilmember Ewing requested Consent Agenda Item Nos. 1 and 3 be removed for separate consideration. Dr. Martin Vanacour, City Manager, read Consent Agenda Item Nos. 2 and 4 through 15 by title. 2.

EXTENSION OF STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE CONTRACT On May 24, 1994 the City of Glendale contracted with Contractor's West, Inc. to provide streetlight maintenance through June 30, 1995 on an as -needed basis. This is the second year of a two-year extension of services. A four percent cost increase per year is included in the contract.

The recommendation was to exercise the City's option of extending the Streetlight Maintenance contract with Contractor's West, Inc. for $189,451.32, pursuant to Option No. 2, Streetlight Maintenance contract. 5. AWARD OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL 96-04. SERVICE CONTRACT FOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TO LANDFILL EQUIPMENT One proposal was received to provide the landfill with a preventative maintenance contract for its operating equipment. This service contract will consist of on -site scheduled maintenance, repairs, and inspections of the landfill equipment to ensure serviceability and compliance with the manufacturer's recommended service schedule. The service shall begin June 1, 1996 and end May 31, 1997. The proposal contains an option clause that will permit the City, at the discretion of the City Manager, to extend this agreement for four additional one-year periods. Funding of $143,760 is available in the Landfill operating budget, Account No. 55-6235- 7330. The proposal submitted for consideration was from Empire Machinery, which is the only authorized Caterpillar dealership in the State of Arizona for sales, service and repair. The proposal was advertised and mailed to prospective companies capable of providing this service. Other potential suppliers were surveyed as to why they did not respond. Their responses included an inability to provide the required on -site service and lack of ability to maintain the predominantly Caterpillar brand equipment at the landfill. A four -member evaluation panel reviewed Empire Machinery's offer and determined that it met the terms of the proposal and was within the cost budgeted for this service. The evaluation panel consisted of stafffrom the Landfill and Materials Management Departments, as well as the Sanitation Superintendent. Specific evaluation factors considered included compliance with scope of work, cost of service, capabilities, and references. The recommendation was to award the contract for preventative maintenance services of landfill equipment to Empire Machinery, in the amount of $143,760, taxes included. -3- 6. 1996-97 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS RENEWAL As the City approaches its fourth contract year with Medical Life Insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental, Associated Health Plan and Vision Service Plan, the City of Glendale has proven to be successful each year in making only enhancements to the plans, with minimal increases, that have been well within the targeted budget amount. For 1996-97, life insurance plans will have no rate increase. The medical plans will have a 3.9% increase. The dental plans will have a 3% increase. The self-f ended disability plan will be increased by $10,000. The overall renewal of the current benefit package, with a minor change to the vision benefit currently provided, will result in an approximate increase to the City of $210,890. The amount budgeted for the 1996-97 year is $250,000. The cost to employees will increase $1.42 per payday for dependent medical and $.49 for dependent dental. The optional vision plan, should the City agree to make the recommended change in participation from the Avesis plan through Blue Cross to the Vision Service Plan, will result in an overall 31% reduction. This change would cost the City $17,270 less to provide a much enhanced benefit. The carriers have agreed to offer benefits for medical, dental and vision to permanent, part- time employees, who work at least 20 hours per week, but less than 30 hours per week. It was proposed that the City contribute 50% of the employee premium only. The employee would pay 50% of the premium and 100% of dependent premium. It was recommended that the contract for the Employee Assistance Program with St. Luke's be terminated and the advisory services to supervisors be provided on an ad hoc basis by St. Luke's. Employees have the low-cost Biodyne options in the medical plan for counseling. After open enrollment, bid specifications will be prepared for replacement of these services. The recommendation was to approve the following: Renew current carrier contracts, except for St. Luke's Employee Assistance Program, which will be terminated and replaced after a bid process. - Eliminate the Avesis Eye Plan from the medical coverage and use these funds to make a $2 contribution to an upgraded Vision Service Plan benefit. - Offer medical and dental benefits to permanent, part-time employees, with a contribution level of 50% for employee coverage only. APPROVAL OF AMENDME\T NO. 1 TO CHOLLA WATER TREATMENT PLANT INTERNAL LOW LIFT PUMPS AGREEMENT This was a request for City Council approval of Amendment No. 1 to a professional services agreement with the firm of HDR Engineering, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $22,983, for the performance of additional engineering services needed for the design, and construction services for improving the existing internal low lift pump station at the Cholla Water Treatment Plant. This amendment includes the professional services associated with the design of an emergency backup interconnection between the Zone 1 and Zone 2 Water Booster Stations and the addition of previously unanticipated improvements to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for the chemical building at the Cholla Water Treatment Plant. This proposed work will provide the capability to allow a Zone 2 booster pump to supply Zone 1 in the event of a failure of one of the Zone 1 booster pumps or to provide added capacity to the Zone 1 booster station if needed to meet demands during the summer of 1996. The improved HVAC system will reduce future equipment maintenance and enhance the operating environment for all equipment in the chemical building. The cost of the proposed professional services agreement Amendment No. 1 is a lump sum of $22,983, for a total agreement cost not to exceed $101,605. Funds for the work to be performed under Amendment No. 1 are available in the 1995-96 Capitol Improvements Program, Utilities Funds, Project Account No. 50-9260-7300. The recommendation was to approve Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc, in an amount not to exceed $22,983. 8. APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT AMENDMENT - ARROWHEAD RANCH WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY This was a request for City Council approval of Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement with Rust Environment and Infrastructure, Inc., in the amount of $181,853 for the next phase of project design and construction services at the Arrowhead Ranch Water Reclamation Facility. The design and construction services include adding supplemental aeration equipment to the oxidation ditch, adding a cover to the top of the oxidation ditch, and adding odor control equipment to the oxidation ditch. The construction services on this project involve speciality mechanical, speciality piping, and speciality instrumentation features. Therefore, the consultant's construction services were recommended, along with its design services. On January 24, 1995, the City Council approved the professional services agreement with Rust Environment and Infrastructure, Inc. for the original design of the odor control equipment for the headworks building and pumping station at the Arrowhead Ranch Water Reclamation Facility. The original scope of work intended the improvements to be done in phases. As a continuation of the odor control efforts, equipment will be added to the existing oxidation ditch to further reduce odors leaving the site. This amendment is in keeping with the adopted CIP for the Arrowhead Ranch Water Reclamation Facility project and will allow the design to continue into the next phase without delay. The design for the cover over the oxidation ditch will start this month and be completed in October 1996. Funds are available in the CIP Project Account No. 50-9261-7300 to cover the costs of the amendment and Engineering Department chargebacks. The recommendation was to approve the agreement amendment with Rust Environment and Infrastructure, Inc. - 5 - 9. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO PERFORM A WATER AUDIT AND LEAK DETECTION STUDY As part of the Fiscal Year 1995-96 budget process, Council approved hiring a consultant to conduct a water audit and leak detection study of the City's water system. The water audit is being conducted to review and analyze the City's water system for efficiency. A water audit evaluates both the physical system and the accounting procedures used by the utility. Specifically, a water audit identifies unknown leaks or invalid accounting of water treated and sold that may hinder a system's efficiency. Furthermore, the water audit indicates which inaccuracies or leaks are cost effective to repair. A second reason for conducting the water audit is to assist the City in its negotiations with the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The audit provides an outside review of the City's water system and documents both the condition of the system and the City's proactive desire to operate an efficient utility. The City broadly advertised the hiring of a consultant to conduct a water audit and leak detection study. Six firms responded to the request for proposals. After a written and oral review, Consumers Applied Technologies was selected as the firm best qualified to conduct this study. This firm demonstrated comprehensive and extensive experience in conducting studies of this type. Funds are available in the Utilities Administration Account No. 50-6410-7330 for the purpose of conducting this study. The study will last approximately 4 to 5 months and will be initiated immediately. The recommendation was to award the attached contract to Consumers Applied Technologies for a fee not to exceed $102, 590. 10. TRANSFER OF CONTINGENCY FUNDS FOR CARPET AND WALLPAPER INSTALLATION The appearance and upkeep of City Hall is an important part of the overall image of the City. As City Hall enters its eleventh year, carpet and wallpaper on the first and fourth floors and the elevators are badly in need of replacement due to heavy traffic and occasional vandalism. Also, the upholstered furniture in the first floor lobby needs replacement. Staff has received detailed estimates to replace the wallpaper in the hallway areas on the first and fourth floors, replace carpeting in the fourth floor hallway, and replace the upholstered furniture in the first floor lobby. The total estimated cost for this work is $40,000. Funds for the work will need to be transferred from the General Fund Contingency to the Facilities Management Division to pay for the contracts. The recommendation was to transfer funds in the amount of $40,000 from General Fund Contingency Account No. 01-2450-7000 to Facilities Management Account No.01-6253-7330 to complete the work. 11.

Glendale Super Bowl XXX Football Clinic (Cable Division). This All -Sports Satellite Network program brought together the best current and former NFL coaches to share insights on coaching strategies, fundamentals, techniques and drills during this special clinic. The seven -hour clinic from Glendale Community College was produced, directed and shot by Glendale's Cable Division for the All Sports Satellite Network for rebroadcast in NFL cities across the country.

GLENDALE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CENTER Community Development Block Grant funds of $198,000 were appropriated from the 1994/1995 program year for the Glendale Family Development Center to rehabilitate their building located at 7800 N. 59th Avenue. The facility is an 11,000 square foot block building on 2.5 acres. The scope for the project includes updating the mechanical room, an alarm system, securing the grounds, rehabilitating the kitchen, an infant area and classrooms, as well as any improvements required in the design review process. The subrecipient contract establishes terms for an agreement with the City which allows the Glendale Family Development Center to make the necessary repairs and improvements with Community Development Block Grant funds. The contract requires that the agency continue to provide services to low and moderate income families for a minimum period of ten years. The contract includes a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust for a period of ten years, at which time the Note is forgiven and the Deed of Trust released.

Del Mar was selected as the primary analytical laboratory on the basis of its performance on test samples of known materials, compared to other certified commercial laboratories. Glendale is required to complete three major sets of analyses by June 30, 1996. One is a set of inorganic and organic analysis of drinking water sources under the Phase II and Phase V regulations of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
