AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HARRIS & ASSOCIATES TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR THE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMS) TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL DIGITAL IMAGERY WITH GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) LINKAGE City Council Agenda February 19, 2013 Page 3 The original contract services agreement with Harris included requirements for a current digital image of all City streets and roadways. Upon further discussion of the requirements of the City, especially the need for a complete sidewalk inventory and an account of road frontage conditions, staff recommends that additional digital imagery be performed within the PMS. Linking these images with the City’s ArcGIS interface will allow City staff to enter pavement inspection, work history and other relevant pavement data into the database. This will allow staff to accurately determine current and future street infrastructure improvements needs. The City Council is requested to approve the Fiscal Year 2012-13 City Budget which includes a $50,000 appropriation for PMS services and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment. The proposed amendment would add $13,020 to the $31,880 contract services agreement with Harris approved on December 18, 2012, for a total of $44,900. Recommendation: 1) Review and approve the Amendment in the amount of $13,020 to the contract services agreement with Harris & Associates to expand the scope of services for the PMS to include digital imagery; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute said Amendment with Harris & Associates. C. CHANGE IN MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR RETIRED EMPLOYEES With a desire to potentially reduce the employee earned benefits received when their employment ends with an agency, or more commonly known as Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) in the future, the Tier Benefit Ad Hoc Committee asked staff to consider alternatives for reducing the future costs of such benefits. The City has determined that it could achieve potentially significant cost savings if it were to reduce the amount of the monthly contribution required to be paid for all employees and retirees to the statutory minimum and to provide a separate amount directly to current employees and retirees outside the Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) so that the current level of benefits remain unchanged. The City Council is requested to receive and file the Actuarial Valuation provided as the first of two steps to modifying the level and thresholds of retiree medical benefits. City Council Agenda February 19, 2013 Page 4 Recommendation: Receive and file the actuarial valuation regarding proposed changes to the amount of compensation to be paid for medical benefits for retired employees. D. PETTY CASH REPORT The City Council is requested to review, receive and file the Petty Cash Reports. Recommendation: Receive and file. E.

SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-966 AMENDING SECTION 2607 OF THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE RELATIVE TO DUTIES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION As part of a reorganization of City operations in 2010, the trees and parkways program was transferred from the former Public Services Department to the Parks and Recreation Department. Over the next several months, Parks and Recreation staff reviewed the existing practices and procedures for the trees and parkways division as well as sections of the Temple City Municipal Code relative to street trees. With over 5,800 streets trees in the City’s inventory, staff became aware of a need to express the value of the City’s urban forest to the public and, proposed an item in the Fiscal Year 2011-13 work plan to build community awareness of the City’s urban forestry program. The City Council approval of Ordinance No. 13-966 will expand the duties of the Parks and Recreation Commission to include review and oversight of the City’s trees and parkway program.

Furthermore, the code amendment is necessary for the Municipal Code to coincide with the State of California Subdivision Map Act and is necessary to help facilitate condominium or common ownership of parking structures or parking garages.
