B. AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH

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.

compensation to be paid for medical benefits

Reports.
Recommendation: Receive and file.
E. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 13-4894 – APPROVAL OF PAYMENT
OF BILLS
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 13-4894 authorizing
payment of bills.
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 13-4894.
8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. 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.

No. 13-966 amending Section 2607 of the
Temple City Municipal Code relative to the

B. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-967, AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 9633 SO AS TO ALLOW THE
SUBDIVISION OF SHOPPING CENTERS AND MINI-MALLS IN
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES IN TITLE 9, CHAPTER 7 OF
THE CITY’S MUNICIPAL CODE; AND ESTABLISHING SECTION 9633.C
RELATING TO “PARKING STRUCTURE CONDOMINIUMS OR
COMMON OWNERSHIP” IN CHAPTER 7 OF THE CITY’S MUNICIPAL
CODE
The proposed code amendment to allow the subdivision of shopping
centers and mini-malls in commercial and industrial zones will augment
options available for commercial retail developers to attract national
tenants and would hereby promote economic development in the
community. 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.
Presentation: Community Development Project Manager
Recommendation: Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance
No. 13-967 by title only.

A. FISCAL YEAR 2012-13 MID-YEAR GENERAL FUND BUDGET REVIEW
The FY 2012-13 Mid-year budget review process provides the City
Council with an opportunity to review and adjust original revenue
projections and budgeted appropriations based on six months of actual
activity. Adjustments are a result of changes in revenue projections based
on actual revenue received from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012,
as well as unanticipated expenditures due to information that was not
previously available.
The City Council is requested to approve the FY 2012-13 General Fund
Mid-year adjustments. If approved, the estimated General Fund Balance
