created to bring new sports opportunities to Anaheim and its facilities, and extending this
agreement would give both parties an opportunity to maximize the impact of USAV in Anaheim
with Sports Anaheim in the lead role. He further added if Sports Anaheim contracted directly
with USAV, it would allow better coordination of new volleyball events to be hosted in Anaheim,
as well as would assist Sports Anaheim in attracting other sports organizations to call Anaheim
home. Mr. Garcia continued that the Anaheim community has greatly benefited from this
partnership and the proposed addendum continues these programs and has added new
deliverables that would further enhance the agreement and partnership between the City of
Anaheim and USA Volleyball.
Tom Morton, Convention/Sports/Entertainment Director, presented Council with details on the
positive impact approving Item No. 16 would have on city funds and on its development. He
reported this addendum would become effective only if Visit Anaheim and USA Volleyball
executed an agreement that included rights for the City. He added this investment would attract
a series of volleyball championships to be hosted at the Anaheim Convention Center which
would generate general fund revenue in room nights and TOT. The city would receive a wide
range of recognition as the official host city of USA Men's and Women's National Volleyball
teams; the National Teams' media articles and press releases; and listing as a sponsor/partner
of USAV on its website and social media posts by USAV. On the promotional front, the city
would also receive up to 20 athletes and coach appearances at civic functions annually and the
teams would continue to train in Anaheim. Mr. Morton listed the new deliverables that were
added to this agreement that would further showcase Anaheim: the 2017 NORCECA Men's
Continental Championships; the 2018 18u Girls National Championships; the 2019 High
Performance Club Championships, and the 2020 USA Volleyball Open National
Championships. He noted these 4 events would bring approximately 21,000 visitors, 25,000
hotel room nights, and TOT revenue of $654,000 to Anaheim. Anaheim would also be provided
the first right of negotiation for the 2021-2024 Girls, Boys, and Open Championships. These
opportunities in total could bring an estimated 93,000 visitors, 175,000 room nights, and TOT
City Council Minutes of September 13, 2016
Page 12 of 18
revenue of close to $4 million. Additionally, USAV would support the continuation of the
Anaheim Starlings program, which caters to lower income junior high school girls in the city,
host an annual clinic for all Anaheim boys and girls high school varsity volleyball teams,
prioritize the scheduling the National teams' red/blue scrimmages, conduct December high-
performance training camps in Anaheim, the City and Visit Anaheim will receive 30 -second
commercials during television broadcasts of the national team matches, and USAV will create
and hold a 2020 kickoff celebration prior to the Tokyo Olympics.
Mr. Morton explained the terms of the addendum provided Visit Anaheim would receive
$325,000 annually for four years and a 50% in-kind rental discount for USA Volleyball events
held at the Anaheim Convention Center, in an amount not to exceed $230,000 over the four
years of the agreement. Since the inception of the city's relationship with USAV, costs
associated with the agreement have been included in the Convention/Sports/Entertainment
Department budget and the addendum would have no direct impact on the general fund as
costs associated with this addendum would continue to be covered by revenue generated in the
C/S/E department. He concluded that the addendum would allow Sports Anaheim to leverage a
significant return on investment back to the city in the form of hotel room nights and TOT that
would directly benefit the city's general fund.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Kring, Mr. Morton confirmed the payment for the addendum
would not come from the General Fund but from revenues derived in the enterprise account of
the Convention/Sports/Entertainment Department, but that such funds were not restricted to use
solely within the fund. Mr. Garcia continued that the City's contribution did not cover the entire
cost of running the USAV teams and they do fundraise and obtain additional funding from other
sources.
Council Member Vanderbilt asked if this addendum enticed other sports teams, such as USA
Water Polo or USA Badminton, to relocate to Anaheim whether those groups would also expect
or require city funding and sponsorship. Mr. Garcia responded that each organization varied
and operated under different arrangements and that Sports Anaheim and Visit Anaheim could
use their expertise in this area to leverage community benefits from the groups but that there
was no standard or expectation created as each organization was different.
In response to additional questions from Council Member Vanderbilt, Mr. Morton explained the
ceiling height in the Convention Center (ACC) halls was 25 feet which worked well for women's
and girls' volleyball but sometimes caused volleyballs to be hit into the rafters during men's or
boys' volleyball, but that the ACC had successfully hosted many volleyball events and was
prepared to host additional events through the new deliverables provided in the addendum. Mr.
Morton further explained the Starlings program started in 2012/2013 for girls, and that a boys
program had not been started but was not precluded from being initiated. Mr. Garcia added the
teams were committed to hosting a high school clinic, open to all players, and were discussing
other sponsorship opportunities for the high school teams. Council Member Vanderbilt then
questioned the cost of the agreement and the 50% rental discount and whether other options
had been considered as well as if the total cost of the addendum was higher or lower than the
previous agreement. Mr. Morton responded that different reduction percentages had been
reviewed and 50% settled upon to continue cash flow into the C/S/E budget as well as other
revenues for parking, food and beverage, and technology services, and that in-kind
contributions had previously been in place through Community Development actions with
parking at the practice facility, with the overall costs in the proposed agreement being less than
that in the current agreement.
City Council Minutes of September 13, 2016
Page 13 of 18
In response to Mayor Tait, Mr. Morton explained the cost of the proposed agreement would be
$1.3 million over four years with a not -to -exceed in-kind amount of $230,000 and is an
agreement with Visit Anaheim to give them the ability to contract with USA Volleyball for up to
four years while the current agreement, in place since 2006, expires on December 31, 2016.
He continued the total cost of the current agreement through the end of the previous fiscal year
was $3.1 million. The current addendum was structured through Visit Anaheim/Sports Anaheim
to assist them significantly increase sports in Anaheim and was an opportunity to provide them
funding that would give them another base tenant, along with the Amateur Athletic Union, to
continue to go out and provide validity in the marketplace.
Mayor Tait expressed his pride for USA Volleyball but questioned the City's priorities in
spending limited money supporting USAV when there were other needs within the City such as
homeless students, kids unable to pay for youth sports programs, lack of uniforms, financial
hardships causing high percentages of students on the free and reduced lunch program, and
lack of maintenance on the soccer and baseball fields. He suggested the business and hotel
community may be better suited to assist USAV and questioned why volleyball events chose
Anaheim and if that would continue absent this agreement. Mr. Morton responded that the
existing facilities, hotels, and being known as the home of Southern California Volleyball helped
attract events and that the new agreement would bring new events to Anaheim that had not
previously been hosted here. To his knowledge, other cities had not been approached about
sharing sponsorship costs for USAV.
Mayor Tait expressed his desire for USAV to stay in Anaheim and continue their good work
without a subsidy and could not support extending the agreement and spending more money
which could be put to different uses such as uniforms for all high school players.
Council Member Murray viewed this partnership between the City and USAV as an investment
that has had significant returns such as community pride, international recognition, increased
hotel and sales taxes, and commitment to local schools and at -risk youth and believed the new
agreement not only cost the city less on a financial basis but had a greater return on investment
through new events and providing uniforms and fees to high school athletic programs. She
continued the funds being used for this purpose were revenue raised in the C/S/E enterprise
fund, not through general taxes, did not result in an either/or scenario of supporting USAV or at -
risk youth and offered her support of the agreement and continued partnership.
Mayor Tait questioned the estimated $4 million in potential TOT revenue based on the
agreement, with Mr. Morton explaining the deliverables in the agreement estimated $654,000
over four years in TOT, with the first right of negotiation of the 2021-2014 Boys, Girls, and Open
Championships potentially bringing 93,000 visitors, 175,000 room nights, and TOT revenue of
about $3.9 million, admitting there was no obligation for those events to select Anaheim.
Mayor Tait argued the assumption that no volleyball events would come to Anaheim without
USAV in Anaheim. Mr. Garcia responded that the American Sports Center serves as the hub
for volleyball in Southern California, relying on USAV to keep running, and could be negatively
impacted if USAV left town, potentially followed by Southern California Volleyball. He
continued, in response to Council Member Vanderbilt, that the American Sports Center pre-
dated the arrival of USAV but allowed the agreement with USAV to occur due to its large facility
for office and practice space, and subsequently grew substantially with volleyball operations.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring moved to approve Item No. 16, seconded by Council Member
Murray.
City Council Minutes of September 13, 2016
Page 14 of 18
DISCUSSION: Council Member Vanderbilt questioned the rationale of entering this agreement
with Visit Anaheim prior to their negotiating a separate agreement with USA Volleyball, with Mr.
Garcia responding this was the funding mechanism the parties desired to have in place first.
Council Member Vanderbilt requested specific language regarding the donation of high school
uniforms as it was not currently spelled out in the addendum.
In response to Council Member Brandman, Mr. Garcia stated the agreement would generate
additional TOT revenue of $650,000, not including the first right of negotiation events that could
bring additional revenue. Mayor Tait believed that included too many assumptions, not
guarantees, and disagreed with subsidizing USAV while charging local Little Leagues, soccer
leagues, and basketball leagues fees for use of City fields and facilities.
Council Member Brandman questioned how the City could assure the new commitments
mentioned at the meeting would be incorporated and quantified going forward, with Mr. Morton
believing language could potentially be added regarding uniforms to which he believed USAV
wants to do that and will if they can make it happen.
Jay Burress, Visit Anaheim, assured the Council that their organization would make that
happen, even if something fell through with other sports partners, and would like to bring the
negotiated agreement to Council when finalized. Mr. Morton then indicated language could be
added to the agreement with Visit Anaheim that uniforms would be provided to Anaheim's high
school volleyball teams.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Kring moved to approve Item No. 16, to include a provision requiring
uniforms be provided to Anaheim high school volleyball teams, seconded by Council Member
Murray. Vote: 3-2 (AYES: Mayor Pro Tem Kring and Council Members Murray and Brandman;
NOES: Mayor Tait and Council Member Vanderbilt). Motion carried.
21. Approve and authorize the Chief of Police to execute an agreement, in substantial form,
with Leverage Information Systems, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $468,000, for the
AGR -10249 purchase, implementation, and maintenance of an overt surveillance camera system for
a five year period, authorize de minimis changes that do not substantially change the
terms and conditions of the agreement, as determined by the City Attorney's Office,
authorize the Chief of Police to execute any amendments under the terms and
conditions of the agreement, and authorize the Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase
order, in amount not to exceed $250,000, for lighting and electrical upgrades necessary
to support the Overt Surveillance Camera Project to the lowest responsive bidder,
subject to available budget appropriations (Phase 1, Maxwell, Twila Reid, and
Brookhurst Parks).
Deputy Chief Julian Harvey explained this item requested authorization for the Police
Department to enter into an agreement with Leverage Information Systems for the purchase,
installation, and maintenance of an overt camera surveillance system.
Deputy Chief Harvey provided background that in 2014 Ximena Meza, a 9 -year-old girl, was
killed across the street from Brookhurst Park. Following that crime, the Anaheim Police
Department (APD) hosted a post -incident gathering to provide information and to answer
questions about the case and solicit feed -back, with the recurring theme of that meeting being
park safety and, specifically, park cameras. Phase 1 of the proposed project would equip three
parks in West Anaheim, Twila Reid Park, Maxwell Park, and Brookhurst Park, with seven to ten
cameras per park; two to three of which would provide one way communication via remote
speaker. Emphasizing the challenges APD faced in patrolling the City's 57 parks, Chief Harvey
stated that there were 1367 calls for police service in 2015 to these three parks alone, ranging
City Council Minutes of September 13, 2016
Page 15 of 18
from homicide, robbery, narcotics, and assaults to vandalism, illegal fires and sex crimes.
Addressing earlier concerns raised about privacy and civil liberties, Chief Harvey stated the
cameras did not have facial recognition capability, nor were there microphones affixed to the
devices so there was no ability to hear conversations. The primary purpose of this equipment
would be to leverage available technology as a tool to enhance public safety and serve as a
crime preventing tool and a deterrent to criminal activity, by allowing real-time monitoring of
activity in the parks with thousands of daily visitors. The ability to monitor in real time will
facilitate the rapid deployment of officers to a specific crime in progress and provide responding
officers with the most accurate and specific information possible while preventing many crimes
from occurring and incidents from escalating through the timely deployment of resources.
Substantial public outreach was conducted by APD, specifically community meetings held in
August near each of the proposed park sites with no opposition to the project. In addition, APD
repeatedly discussed the project at the publically-noticed Public Safety Board meetings. Deputy
Chief Harvey explained the parks would have appropriate signage advertising the cameras and
their capabilities. As Phase 1 continued, additional parks will be identified based on needs,
including Ponderosa Park, which was not initially included due to its ongoing construction.
Phase 2 of the project will include the incorporation of other city cameras from various city
facilities where independent surveillance networks are already in use, including the city's traffic
cameras. In Phase 3, the public/private partnerships will be developed via memoranda of
understanding between the city and private industries, such as banks and schools. Other
communities throughout the state including Redlands, Corona, and Salinas have experienced
marked reduction in crime where these cameras are installed. In closing, Deputy Chief Harvey
stated that the cameras were intended to enhance public safety for all members of the
community including the most vulnerable homeless population, who were often the victims of
the afore -mentioned crimes.
In response to Council Member Vanderbilt, Deputy Chief Harvey explained the current
infrastructure backbone did not allow for seamless, real-time access to existing traffic cameras,
nor were those recorded, while that was a key component of the new system to allow for
incident information and identification after the fact. He continued that the officers' body -worn
cameras recorded activity but were not monitored in real-time as the park cameras would be.
Council Member Vanderbilt then questioned whether adjacent residents may get tired of hearing
announcements made via the camera speakers, with Deputy Chief Harvey stating, to the
contrary, that residents requested and were appreciative of that feature to quickly address
quality of life issues near their homes that may otherwise take hours before an officer was able
to respond. Deputy Chief Harvey continued that the APD was still working on a policy to
address specific components such as the use of the cameras, the monitoring of the cameras,
and how the cameras were positioned to avoid filming private areas such as backyards.
Mayor Tait reiterated Deputy Chief Harvey's comments that the genesis of this project was the
death of 9 -year-old Ximena Meza near Brookhurst Park and the uniform request of the
community to ensure safety in the parks, through security cameras, and the vulnerability of the
homeless population as victims of crimes. Regarding civil liberties, Mayor Tait explained this
was a deterrent so that crimes would not happen and questioned the expectation of privacy at a
public park; he expressed his view that strong policies should be in place to avoid any personal
invasions of privacy. He continued to request APD ask outside parties for their input or advice
regarding civil liberties when drafting the policies and to bring the policies back to Council to
ensure an open process for the public.
Mayor Pro Tem Kring requested APD meet with the Ponderosa Park community during its
construction phase to inform them about camera installation during a continuance of the project,
with Deputy Chief Harvey stating such meetings would be held prior to all park projects.

Approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the below agreements
and related documents, take the necessary actions to implement and administer these
agreements, and authorize de minimis changes that do not substantially change the
terms and conditions of the agreements, as determined by the City Attorney's Office:

Service Agreement with Accela, Inc., in the amount of $2,818,038.90 with a 10%
contingency for extra services, for the purchase and implementation of a Permit Tracking
and Land Management Software System; a License Agreement with Accela, in the
amount of $898,110, to provide perpetual site licenses for Accela GIS, Accela Land
Management, and Accela Mobile modules; a Maintenance Agreement with Accela, in the
amount of $1,508,425.18, to provide five years of maintenance and support services for
the Accela GIS, Accela Land Management, and Accela Mobile modules; a Software
License and Maintenance Agreement with Accela and e-PlanSoft, in the amount of
$117,477.07, to provide e-PlanCheck software, maintenance and support for a five-year
period.
City Manager Paul Emery explained this was an off -consent item due to the procurement
process and the proposed lease -purchase agreement. Debbie Moreno, Finance Director/City
Treasurer, explained this request would assist a number of city departments modernize their
operations and enhance services to Anaheim residents and businesses. She provided
background that the current land management and permit system, Tidemark, was implemented
in 1999 and updated in 2001 and again in 2006 and supported permitting, fee collection, code
enforcement, inspection, business licenses, and collecting and tracking revenue generated
through permits, fees, and transient occupancy tax (TOT). In 2014, Tidemark announced the
product would no longer be upgraded, enhanced, or supported for maintenance upon which the
City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) as part of extensive efforts to research a
replacement product. The RFP was issued in 2015 to 385 vendors, of which four proposals
were received from qualified firms. An eight -person panel reviewed the proposals and narrowed
to two finalists who demonstrated to a 20 -person panel. Accela was selected based on their
experience with other municipalities, their ability to modernize workflows, and a wide range of
online and mobile solutions.
Ms. Moreno continued that the Accela civic platform would expand on Tidemark's system
through additional modules, supporting land management, permit processing, mobile access by
staff and public, and enhanced GIS capabilities. A self-service web portal will extend services
to the public via 24/7 access to apply for various services and will be integrated into the city's
existing website increasing overall transparency. Additionally, there will be a shift to electronic
plan review via e-PlanCheck, with the capability to submit plans online and track their status,
eliminating costly printing and delivery time. She explained the project was scheduled to take
18 months with an April 2018 targeted go -live date and incur a total cost of $5.4 million financed
over five years through an agreement with Government Capital Corporation with an effective
interest rate of less than 1 %. Additional costs were estimated between $300,000 and $400,000
to modernize city resources to fully realize the capabilities of the new system including new
mobile devices, upgraded infrastructure, and upgraded computer equipment.
Ms. Moreno replied to Council Member Vanderbilt that other cities using the Accela civic
platform included Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Yorba Linda, City and County of San
Diego, and Monterey.
