Selection of an Automated Digital Mailing Machine
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled, "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH PITNEY
BOWES FOR THE PURCHASE AND MAINTENANCE/METER RENTAL OF A
NEW AUTOMATED DIGITAL MAILING MACHINE"
Background:
Several years ago, the Umted States Postal Service ~n cooperabon w~th all
authonzed postage meter manufacturers began a mulb-phased plan to
proacbvely manage replacement of metering technology to protect against
revenue loss and encourage mnovabve, cost-effecbve solufions for customers
The meter migration plan was aimed at trans~bon~ng the ~nstalled base of meters
from specific technology demonstrated to be suscepbble to revenue fraud to
technology offering enhanced secunty. The migration plan also targeted
metenng technology that imposes operations costs that may be avoided w~th
newer alternative technology.
The plan consisted of four (4) phases. The first phase accomplished the
rehrement of all mechanical meters and Phase II required the retirement of all
manual reset meters Phases Ill/IV are currently underway and are a~med to
retire meters that use letterpress technology to a digital pnntmg technology.
Digital technology provides valuable comprehensive marling solutions for

SUBJECT:
Changes and Clarification of Training, Conference and Meeting
Policy and Funding Limits Concerning Activities Thereunder
Recommendations:
Staff recommends that the C~ty Council
Evaluate the reformation provided In th~s staff report, consider the proposed changes
and clanflcat~on of the C~ty's Training, Conference and Meeting Pohcy (Resoluhon
2004 017) presented ~n the draft resolubon and e~ther
(1)
Adopt the attached Resolubon Clarifying Funding Lira(ts for Expenses Under
the C~ty's Training, Conference and Meebng Pohcy (Resolubon 2004 017) as
the Same Apply to Meetings and Events and d~stmgulsh~ng conferences and
Related Acbwbes as Non-Remunerated Funcbons
Or
(2) Prowde further d~recbon to staff for add~bonal mod~hcabons to the Pohcy
and/or draft resoluhon, and d~rect that a new resolubon and supporbng documentabon
be returned to Council at a future date
Background:
in eady 2004 m response to concerns about the costs associated w~th attendance to
conferences, meetings for which remunerabon was provided by the C~ty, and related
concerns, the City Council adopted (via adoption of Resolution 2004 017) a Tra~mng,
Conference and Meehng Pohcy (the "Policy") Adopbon of the Policy was a marked
departure from pnor practices that were brought to hght by a number of parhes and
arhcles in vanous med~a outlets In the Staff Report provided for the February 3, 2004
Councd meehng that considered the resolubon that presented the Pohcy, Council was
reformed that the proposed pohcy ehm~nated the following
~AGENDA
ITEM
· Mdeage reimbursements for travel ~n Los Angeles County
· Any type of compensabon for attendance at poht~cal events
· Expenses pa~d on behalf of pnvate ~nd~wduals regardless of the
cla~med pubhc purpose
· The cost of s~de acbwbes ~nclud~ng s~ghtsee~ng, sporbng events or
recreabonal funcbons
· Added costs for guests or companions travehng w~th members of
the governing body
· Mulbple requests for the old "per d~em" compensabon for same-day
activities
· Compensabon for attending meebngs w~th C~ty staff and/or
contractors
· L~m~ts to one per month the parade, fesbval or hohday event or
community service club act~wbes for which a stipend may be
received
Adopbon of the Pohcy was followed later ~n 2004 w~th adopbon of Resolution 2004 190
which estabhshed funding hm~ts for certain acbwt~es under the Policy The funding I~m~ts
established by Resolubon 2004 190 consbtuted aggregate I~m~ts for all acbwbes under
the Pohcy Such aggregation, however, d~d not d~sbngu~sh between the ~ntent of hm~bng
or capping acbvlbes that, as ~nd~cated above, were ~ntended for ehm~nabon or
regulabon, and those bona hde acbwbes elected officials find necessary to effecbve and
active representabon
The draft resolubon makes certain changes to reflect the ~ntent of the Councd ~n a
limited number of areas

A fiscal year accounbng penod ~s adopted
The funding cap ~s applied to "meetings" and "events" as defined ~n the Policy
Conferences (as defined ~n the Pohcy) are d~sbngu~shed from remunerated
acbwbes such as "meetings" and "events" and segregated from the funding
hm~t of Resolubon 2004 190 - which ~s repealed by the new resolubon, ~f
adopted
Exempts from the funding hm~t costs 0nclud~ng remunerabon) associated w~th
same day travel when the distance ~nvolves more that 100 mdes from the C~ty
of Lynwood (examples of th~s ~nclude same day travel to Sacramento or
possible PUC heanngs ~n San Francisco)
Nota Bene: Indlwdual elected officials have previously raised questions about the
~mpact on personal tax "pos~t~ons" as a result of the record keeping and documentation
provided by the C~ty relabve to compensabon and/or reimbursement for acbv~tles under
the Policy, or the related Med~a Commun~cabons Allowance Staff ~s not ~n a position to
prowde ~ndlvldual tax adwce relative to any act~wt~es for which remuneration or
reimbursement results ~n documented receipt of funds by elected officials Staff
2
believes, however, that proper record keeping and documentation will assist elected
officials ~n maintaining a revenue-neutral pos~hon where receipt of funds from the C~ty
takes place
Fiscal Impact:
Undetermined as th~s time Impact will depend on level of achvitles and the costs
associated w~th mdlwdual acbwhes by each elected official and the sum of all such
acbwbes

SUBJECT
Annual City Councd Meebng Recess
Recommendation;
Staff recommends that the City Council review the options presented in this
report and prowde staff w~th further d~recbon on th~s matter
Background:
Members of the City Council have asked staff to research the poss~b~hty of an
annual City Councd meeting recess A recess, during which the City Council
does not hold any meetings, is a common practice m other cities, and is typically
for a one-month period There would be no lapse in C~ty business during th~s
period and departments would simply present agenda reports that require
Councd acbon for consideration prior to of after the scheduled recess
Discussion:
While the recess could be planned for any one-month period, staff believes that a
summer recess or a hohday recess would be the two most leas,hie opbons to
consider, due to the Iow demand for City services and increased requests for
t~me off from the employees
Opt/on 1 - Summer Recess
The months of July and August are both wable alternatives for constderabon
dunng the summer A comb~nabon of the two is equally viable If the Councd ~s
mchned to pursue a summer recess, staff recommends that the second meebng
~n July and the first meeting in August compose the summer recess If this were
~mplemented ~mmedlately, the meetings scheduled for July 18 and August would
not take place, and the next regular C~ty Council meebng would occur on August
15
AGENDA
rFEM
Option 2 - Hohday Recess
The proposed holiday recess would entail cancelling the second meeting in
December and the first meeting in January Should the C~ty Councd choose to
have their recess in December-January, staff would also recommend closing City
offices during the hohday season The City Council may consider two possible
opbons for bus~ness closure
1) Closing C~ty offices during the week of December 25 (3 bus~ness days),
or
2) Closing C~ty offices for two (2) weeks, the week of December 25 and
I (total of 6 bus,ness days).
January st
Under e~ther of the opbons, the essenbal C~ty services such as emergency
repairs, would continue to be provided If the C~ty Councd ~s ~n recess at the end
of December-beginning of January, staff would recommend option 2
Fiscal Impact:
Both the summer recess and hohday recess w~ll provide savings for the actual
costs to operate a C~ty Council meebn9 (staff overhme, Shenff depubes, ubht~es,
refreshments, etc) Under the hohday recess opbon, the C~ty would reahze
add~bonal sawngs ~f closing c~ty offices occurs
