2011/09/13ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL REGULAR AND REGULAR ADJOURNED MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 1 2 011 The City Council meeting of September 13, 2011 was called to order at 3:00 P.M. in the Chambers of Anaheim City Hall and adjourned to 4:00 P.M. for lack of a quorum. The September 13, 2011 regular adjourned meeting was subsequently called to order at 4:08 P.M. in the Chambers of City Hall located at 200 South Anaheim Boulevard. A copy of the agenda was posted on September 9, 2011 on the kiosk outside City Hall. PRESENT: Mayor Tom Tait and Council Members: Gail Eastman, Lord Galloway, Kris Murray and Harry Sidhu. STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Tom Wood, City Attorney Cristina Talley, and City Clerk Linda Andal OPower Residential Enerav Efficiencv Proaram Worksho Public Utilities Department General Manager Marcie Edwards began the workshop remarking staff followed Council's direction regarding energy programs developed under AB 2012 mandates with the intention of encouraging consumer interest, providing customers with rational and cost effective options, protecting privacy and personal information, and promoting voluntary participation rather than mandatory compliance. She announced Mark Lopez, Technology and Customer Service Manager, would brief Council on a specific energy program which would shortly become available to customers. Initially, she stated, 15,000 residents would receive a mailing on this new program which would also be made available to customers through the internet at the same time. The motive behind the initial mailings was to determine whether customers made different energy choices when provided relevant information via mail or by accessing the same information online. This pilot program, she added, would then establish two facts, whether there was any real interest and motivation by customers to reduce energy consumption through the OPower program and also whether a better response had been received through the US mail or through the internet process. Based on the outcome of the pilot program, she stated, staff would decide whether it was worthwhile to expand these efforts in trying to meet energy conservation guidelines. Mr. Lopez outlined the details of the OPower Residential Energy Efficiency program. AB 2012, he remarked, required Utility agencies to find ways to reduce residential energy consumption. The challenge in that task was to offer programs that achieved this mandate in the most cost effective way without requiring customer compliance. Last year, he explained, the City contracted with OPower, a firm specializing in energy efficiency programs. Their approach applied behavioral science to energy savings by determining the motivation behind changing customer habits. He pointed out it had been OPower's experience in other regions that peer comparison was most effective in changing consumer habits relative to energy consumption. The process, he explained, involved OPower collecting certain data from Anaheim Utility Department and together with other publicly available data such as that found in Zillow.com, the customers would then be presented with information that compared their energy use to neighbors with similar property characteristics. He emphasized a great deal of public information on properties currently existed on the internet, such as the real estate website, Zillow.com, could identify their home on a street map and find its square footage, the number of bedrooms, and other details associated with housing properties. That type of information, in conjunction with data available from smart meters would be used to generate a Home Energy Council Meeting Minutes of September 13, 2011 Page 2 of 11 Report which compared the customer's energy usage to their neighbors as well as providing residents with energy savings goal setting, tracking, and tips to become more energy efficient. Mr. Lopez stated that although the initial pilot was targeted at residential customers, the Department would look at other customer sectors after reviewing the pilot results. The program was designed to include a paper home energy report sent to the 15,000 customers five times a year beginning this September along with an energy information portal that would provide the same type of information as the paper report. He added the customer could opt out of the program at any time and could receive an emailed report if preferred. He added that OPower strongly believed the Utility should see results ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 percent in energy savings each year which would then be applied to Anaheim's mandated residential energy efficiency goals. He also reported the On Line Information Portal would be available to all residential customers and those who already used the pay online system would be able to use the same user name and password to access this online portal. Once logged in, there would be three links to access the OPower portal and customers would be able to see secure, personalized information that no one else could access. He emphasized that personal information would only be available to the customer; he added that residents could also update their property through this portal if data was no longer correct. Eventually, he explained, the online portal would be optimized for cell phones, once the proven value of this program was seen. He ended his presentation remarking that the Utility Department's call center representatives would be available to answer customer questions regarding this program. Ms. Edwards added that through this pilot program, the Department would verify whether customers would react to receiving summary information about other customers with the same square footage and geography who had achieved higher energy savings or whether more savings would be generated through additional energy appliance rebates or mailing out CFL light bulbs. Council Member Galloway asked which regions had been using OPower's efficiency program with Ms. Edwards responding that fairly good results had been received in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and San Diego area. Council Member Murray asked that funding details be explained as well as detailing other conservation programs bE�ng considered to meet the 10 percent energy savings threshold. Ms. Edwards replied Public Utilities was completely supported by rate payer revenues with no impact to the General Fund and that by law, the Utility was required to spend 2.85 percent of net operating income in specific defined areas, one of which was energy efficiency. The choice to be made was from the list of energy efficiency programs available and where an investment would result in the biggest bang for the buck. She added Public Utilities also distributed CLF light bulbs and offered appliance rebates for every type of energy efficient option, but she was hopeful the OPower program would generate a higher return. She added AB 2021 set the benchmark at a certain date and the Utility had a certain number of years to make up the 10 percent energy. Mayor Pro Tem Sidhu encouraged considering an energy savings programs technology holiday to promote more interest and also stressed the importance of a phone app to access the OPower portal. Mayor Tait recommended the energy report be translated into dollars to point out how much a customer's savings would actually realize.

She then highlighted Hispanics involved in defending the United States from the American Revolution through each successive war to the current one still ongoing in Afghanistan. Yvonne Gonzalez Duncan, League of United Latin American Citizens ( LULAC) thanked Mayor Tait for writing a letter in support of a grant LULAC had submitted to help Anaheim High School address the Hispanic dropout rate. She reported LULAC was successful in receiving the Ford Fund grant award of $20,000 for two years. Council Meeting Minutes of September 13, 2011 Page 4 of 11 ADDITIONS /DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: None PUBLIC COMMENTS (all agenda items): Adela Jauregi, eight years old, spoke movingly of her admiration for Children's Hospital of Orange County staff, remarking it had been her home away from home as she coped with brain cancer diagnosed when she was two. She invited the community to join Team Adela on October 16' to help raise money for CHOC, a hospital which treated every child regardless of the family's ability to pay. Cecil Jordan Corcoran commented on Outreach Ministries Chris Lasher, resident, commented on Anaheim's superior library system and exemplary programs offered to the community for the very young to its lifelong users. Amy T., Anaheim school teacher, announced that many of her students were from low income families who depended on school libraries as well as public libraries for books and programs. Recent school budget cuts reflected decreased availability for her students and she was concerned that Anaheim's reductions would further impact their access to reading materials. Wayne Palmer, resident, approved the City's decision to move forward with privatization of graffiti removal services. He added City staff accomplished much with limited resources and with the growing proliferation of graffiti, outsourcing was the best solution. John Leos, urged Council to consider the Anaheim Transparency Disclosure & Accountability Reform Act he had presented at a previous meeting as it was critical to insure the public had confidence in elected government relative to contracts regarding privatization of services. Jan Zemel protested the reduction of towing contracts from eight to four, remarking it would be a significant negative impact to her business. She also had questions regarding the scoring and evaluation criteria and wanted an opportunity to have her questions answered by the purchasing agent who was out of town at this point in time. Colleen Marie Ektefaie, Automart Collision Center, requested Council reconsider the decision to decrease the towing contract from eight companies to four. Her company was a tenant of Southland Towing and relied on them and two other rejected towing companies for business. She added Council's approval of Item No. 12 would severely affect her business. Al Jabbar, resident and member of the Cultural Heritage Commission, urged Council to reconsider reducing city library services. He outlined the many ways he and his family used community library services and how a reduction in those services would impact them. City Manager Tom Wood, responding to Mayor Tait's request to update the community on the library budget status, explained that when the budget was adopted it assumed a $1.5 million in library services savings, part of a plan to make across - the -board reductions to all departmental operations. A proposal from the County of Orange to provide library services had been received which reflected an annual savings of $1.3 million. A private sector bid had also been received, however, he stressed the City belief in the quality of staff and its library system and chose to work with existing employees to find ways to accomplish the same savings while retaining City staff rather than outsourcing services. Discussions, he added, were currently underway with AMEA. Council Meeting Minutes of September 13, 2011 Page 5 of 11 Council Member Galloway emphasized to library advocates that while there was a budget issue to be worked through, the City would not be outsourcing nor closing the libraries and would be retaining staff. Art Diaz, Historical Society, remarked his organization was going into its 35 year and in the "Hi Neighbor" spirit was connecting with the community through an upcoming event. Kevin Kinney, Historical Society, announced the kick -off event to be held at Founder's Park on September 24 in celebration of Orange County's agricultural era and invited the community to enjoy the festivities. Paula Martinez, resident, stated Haskett Library activities had improved the lives of her two daughters, age three and one, through participation in many youth activities offered and urged Council to reject any proposed reductions in services. Brad Humphries, Metro Towing, president, explained his firm was one of the four incumbent towing companies that did not make the cut. He understood the City's decision to reduce the number of rotations as it provided efficiencies and afforded the ability for existing companies to offer a much higher level of service. He added there were some casualties as a result of this reduction, and requested a transition period to allow his company to unwind the business after having worked in the City for 30 years and for his employees to potentially transition to a successful bidder. Brian Beger, AMEA President, protested additional reductions to AMEA employees stating outsourcing would see a deterioration of quality services to the community and contractors were "for profit" businesses versus municipalities that reflected a "non- profit" profile. He outlined various areas the AMEA had contributed to the city to date. Keith McLaughlin, AUHSD, reported that as a club advisor for Cause for Concern, a social project group, he had over 100 postcards written by high school students opposing potential reductions to Anaheim's library system. He added Anaheim's experienced librarians were irreplaceable resources for students and limiting operating hours would have a negative impact to those students needing access to library facilities. S.R. Lockwood, resident, also spoke in support of libraries and public parks remarking residents directly benefited from those services with books, information, job hunting, as well as a safe haven after school. Tim Hainline, AMEA, remarked that outsourcing services had a direct negative effect on residents and visitors for years to come. He urged Council to look elsewhere for savings as AMEA members had already been impacted with layoffs. Diane Sergent, resident, spoke in support of the library system, specifically of the Haskett Library that offered fantastic services to the community. As a reader, she understood the community value of access to books. Eduardo Silva, resident, asked for Council's support in retaining Haskett library programs, remarking he had been using library services for 20 years and his children were now taking advantage of the programs offered by Haskett Library. A resident thanked Council for repairing a portion of railroad tracks that she previously brought to their attention, remarking she was satisfied with the resolution. She also requested the city separate invoices for waste pick -up and street sweeping. Council Meeting Minutes of September 13, 2011 Page 6 of 11 Jacquelyn Gutierrez and two other students /residents on Rose Street, spoke on behalf of their parents requesting Council reconsider Item No. 17 or to extend the matter to allow residents to understand the proposed parking permit district. They indicated the residents were low income families without driveways and could not afford the permits. They remarked that many neighbors who had received the City's letter regarding the proposed district, did not speak the language and consequently did not understand the proposal. She asked to have the matter reevaluated or to allow additional time for residents to reconsider the impacts of a permit parking district, adding that most residents were no longer supportive of the proposal. Robert O'Hare, Jr. Tow & Mow Towing, remarked that prior to submitting a towing bid, all contractors had met with Police staff and were told in advance that only four companies would be selected, rather than eight and none had voiced an objections. Richard Boggs, Debois Towing, stated Debois Towing had been working for the City since the 60's and objected to the bidding process. He questioned the scoring and point system, remarking as the smallest towing firm he was not eligible to receive points for larger equipment due to the size of his firm. Sam, stated he was part of the Anaheim Towing Company, and had been told that companies would be cut from eight to four because of Police Department staffing problems, not because of service or equipment. He urged Council to reconsider an action that would have severe impacts on towing company employees. Dr. Patricia Adelakan, Toastmaster Area Governor, announced that in researching information for the celebration of their 85 anniversary, she found that a former mayor and other Anaheim leaders had founded the Club, which was comprised of outstanding citizens. She congratulated Mayor Tait on keeping the tradition of being a Toastmaster member alive.

Accept the lowest responsive bid and approve an agreement with Urban Graffiti Enterprises, Inc., in the amount of $437,280, for graffiti removal services, for a one year AGR -6907 period with up to four one -year optional renewals, and authorize the Purchasing Agent to exercise the renewal options, in accordance with Bid #7525. Finance Director Bob Wingenroth reported this item was a request for Council to accept the lowest bid submitted by Urban Graffiti Enterprise for graffiti removal services for one year. He explained that historically the City performed its own graffiti removal but had conducted a bid process to find a firm and to receive the same or enhanced service levels at a lower cost. Urban Graffiti Enterprise had over 20 years experience in graffiti removal, and worked in over 30 cities and counties, including Santa Ana, Long Beach, Arcadia, West Covina, Burbank, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Orange County. As part of their work, he noted, crews would be assigned patrol of four geographical zones daily with field staff immediately removing any noticed graffiti as they worked in an area. The contractor would also survey and assess all areas and clean all thoroughfares and known hot spots. Daily patrols and removals would be performed until each area was within maintenance levels. Overall, he added, this contract required a 24 hour turnaround time for reported graffiti. Referencing the city employees performing graffiti removal, Mr. Wingenroth indicated there was one full -time and four part-time employees. He added that Urban Graffiti was willing to discuss employment opportunities with any City employees who might be displaced by this privatization; and at the same time, Mr. Wingenroth pointed out, the full -time employee would be able to move to another position within the city if the employee chooses and the City would also make every effort to place the remaining four city employees in other part-time positions within the code enforcement division or other departments. The annualized savings resulting from this action, he revealed, would be $162,000 to the General Fund. Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu asked what the turnaround time was for Anaheim's graffiti removal staff. Sheri Vander Dussen, Planning Director, responded that the turnaround time ranged from 24 to 72 hours with most of the work completed within 72 hours. Council Member Galloway remarked that she had met with staff and members of AMEA who were concerned about outsourcing this service and had also met with residents who were frustrated with the 72 hour turn around time. She would support this contract for a number of reasons and because the service offered would be enhanced with a 24 hour turn around time, an issue of importance to the Council and its residents. Council Member Eastman asked when the transition would take place with Mr. Wingenroth replying that it should be implemented by November once the technology issues surrounding Anaheim Anytime and 311 were transitioned. Council Member Murray commented that for the City to be able to meet a 24 hour turnaround time, additional equipment and other Council Meeting Minutes of September 13, 2011 Page 9 of 11 capital resources would be needed. Ms. Vander Dussen added that two additional crew members would get the City to a 95 percent graffiti clearance rate within 24 hours. Council Member Galloway moved to approve Item No. 11, seconded by Council Member Eastman. Roll Call Vote: Ayes — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Eastman, Galloway, Murray and Sidhu.) Noes — 0. Motion Carried. 12. Accept the proposals and approve four Agreements with Standard Enterprises, Inc., dba To' n' Mo Towing, P & H Enterprises, Inc., dba Anaheim - Fullerton Towing, Quick Service Towing, Inc., dba Brookhurst Towing, and Country City Towing, Inc. for vehicle towing and associated services for the Police Department for a one year period with up to four one -year optional renewals, and authorize the Chief of Police to exercise the renewal options. Police Chief John Welter stated the Anaheim Police Department used contracted towing services to tend disabled, illegally parked or abandoned vehicles. Towing services were also to remove vehicles from traffic collisions, perform clean -up as required, as well as impound vehicles involving criminal investigations. The Request for Proposal for the towing contracts required interested parties meet minimum specifications in order to be considered for an award. These specifications included a business location with the City, staffed between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, dispatch capability 24/7, 365 days /years, a 15 minute response time for normal tow requests, and a 45 minute response time involving larger trucks or a higher licensed driver. He stated the firms must be in the towing business within the County of Orange for a minimum of the past 24 months and must have an acceptable secure storage area capable of holding at least 100 vehicles with proper spacing in between, have an enclosed and secured evidence hold area, possess the required classes of tow vehicles and drivers with appropriate licenses, and have endorsements capable of passing background and fingerprint checks. These agreements, he added, would be used on a rotational basis and the firms would manage the calls for services, with all towing fees and daily storage charges in compliance with California Vehicle Code. In 2006, Chief Welter explained, the City had entered into and agreement with eight towing companies which expired at the end of September this year, adding that new legislation regarding vehicle impounds had reduced the number of calls for towing service by about 40 percent since 2006. He explained that eight towing companies required a significant amount of staff time to monitor and inspect, coupled with the fact that the Traffic Division had lost 25 percent of staff to manage higher priorities, resulting in the decision to reduce the number of towing companies to four. Limiting the number of towing agreements, he stated, would allow the Police Department to more closely monitor these companies resulting in better service to the city and to the community. An evaluation committee comprised of five police personnel inspected and scored all nine responding tow companies to determine whether they met the minimum requirements. Additional attributes scored included the physical location in proximity to the police station to allow for quick access to impounded vehicles. Additional points were also given to the following: on -site dispatchers, facility size, security features, type of fencing, facility cleanliness, numbers of storage location, security of evidence hold areas, recordkeeping, business practices, customer service, company experience, references, record retention, billing issues, and the type, quantity and condition of towing equipment. The tabulated scores resulted in the recommendation of the top four towing companies. Council Meeting Minutes of September 13, 2011 Page 10 of 11 Chief Welter added that the process was fair and that staff had met with the companies prior to the process and none had raised a concern regarding the reduction of contracts from eight to four at that time. He added that recent legislation reduced the number of tows from an average of 5,194 from 2002 to 2008 to a projected average of 3,300 tows for 2009 — 2011. He also pointed out that during the evaluation process, staff went to each business independently and submitted their scores to the Purchasing Department without jointly discussing the results. Mayor Pro Tern Sidhu asked that this item be continued to the next meeting to allow time to understand the evaluation process. Council Member Murray remarked that a number of firms not making the cut had invested in the City for many years, wondering if a three month effective date could be implemented to allow those firms to address their business needs; Chief Welter concurred. Mayor Tait seconded the motion to continue this item to September 27, 2011 to allow a time for debriefing until the final decision was made. Roll call vote: Ayes — 5: (Mayor Tait and Council Members: Eastman, Galloway, Murray and Sidhu. Noes — 0. Motion carried. 17. RESOLUTION NO.
