H. McNary, Director of Finance DATE: August 21, 1980 SUBJECT: SETTING A PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR THE 1980-81 BUDGET; HEARING The Truth in Taxation legislation requires a public hearing to be held for public input on proposed tax increases. The law requires that publication be given of the intent to increase taxes, the percentage of increase, the time and place of the public heaping, r and how the Council members voted on the proposed increase. The public hearing will be scheduled for the Council meeting on September 9, 1980. The City Man3ger's proposed budget incgudes a tax increase, and for purposes of receiving public input at this rl public hearing, the City Council must vote on a proposed tax increase. If the Council chooses to propose the talc rate included within 0a City Manager's recommended budget, a vote woccld be taken to propose increasing the taxes by 11% to 51.38/5100 evaluation. After receiving input at the public he•iring, the City Counc,i will j be required to vote on the proposed bucket anr; on the tax race the followi ng week. Attached is an excerpt from a booklet produced by the State Comptroller which outlinei the required process for increasing taxes. I will be happy to respond to any questions concerning Truth in Taxation procedures. N, 11.

SECTION FOUR SCOPE OF WORK (The following are Instructions pertaining to the "Technical Proposal" discussion In the required Proposal Format, Section Two, B.) Task 1. Or anizin for Preparation of the Action Plan and Pre aratlon of DetalIed~or Pan. In t + s task, the contractor w ll Jrnplement t e conceptpt-f the organizat on su m tted in Part I.D. of the Proposal Format. The contractor shall Implement the organization to carry out the preparation of the CCEMP action plan. Committee(s) will be formedl their responsibilities, by-laws, schedule of meetings and other pertinent matters will be decided. A detailed work plan which establishes task responsibilities and coordination, review and approval of recommendations will be prepared for review and approval. T deliver the results required. Additional he tasks listed below are the minImum felt necessary to allow the contractor to s and It these are approved by TENRAC, they efforts will be ncborrporated Into the work. i This work plan will specify In detail the resources (personnel, consultants and dollars) that will be devoted to each task. It will provide a stepP-by-step description of each work element, Identifying data sources, as approprlatel Jevel of approval and coordination expected to be necessary for the satisfactory completion of the contract effortl and documentation of final commitments associated with cost sharing and TENRAC,1t will other agencies as Incorporated Into thedwo work scopeprandl becothe work lan me the ufileal a document for the remainder of the contract effort. i Task 2. Ener Audit. The contractor will conduct an energy audit of the f 1 I commuriity represented In the proposal. Tht audit will fellow the procedures of the 3 "methodology" or other similar approach If approved by TENRAC, and will Include the tollowingi i i F a a. Ph s1cal Characterization - The contractor will conduct a detailed accounting of anT d use parcels and activities whlch represent the energy using components of a cormunity. The energy used In each category will be defined ) + for a "elfic end-use function such as space heating, cooling, Illumination, etc. For this contract, secondary data supplemented by estimating procedures of the I methodology will be utilized. Primary data may be substituted for the I € secondary data It it Is available without additional cost Incurrence. + 3 b. Accounting of Fuel Types - For each of the physical components so j charncterized, the associate u~ el type used presently to provide the end-use i energy service will be Identified. For this taskr secondary data will serve as the major Inputl however, primary data will be required when the secondary data prove$Inadequate. Cs Accountin, of Available Energy Sources - During the conduct of work speclfle In arts a and oyT the audit, the contractor will Identify and list f known and potential energy sources within the community. These sources will Include the normal energy utilitles provided to the community (natural gas, I 4 1 ~ I1 electricity, district heating and/or cooling), the other fuels from suppliers (coal, propane gas, fuel oil, etc.), plus those energy sources normally Identified as wastes as a result of some conversion (such as thermal discharges from Industry and power plants, wood chips, unprocessed solid wastes, etc.). The Inventory will Include the amount of energy, the form, the quality and the lucatiun. These data will be vital In the evaluation of energy conservation alternatives, Including community energy systems technologies, In Task lour. d. Energy Analysis/Computation - The contractor will compute the energy by category and fuel type through utilization of the procedures provided in the methodology. Upon completion of these calculations, the results will be calibrated using the procedures specified In the methodology. Should the calculated energy use for any category vary from source data by a factor greater than 1.3, a proposal for re-calculation using primary p;.yafcal characterization will be submitted to the TENRAC contact for his approval and/or direction before proceeding with the next task. Task 3. Issues and Ohiectives. The contractor will use the results from the work accomplished in the previous tasks and projections of energy use and energy sources to develop and prioritize a listing of potential energy problems and energy 1 objectives for the community. In developing this ]isting, special consideration will be given to those issues and/or objectives where the community plays a major role In the declsion-making process. The contractor will document each step of deliberation and processes utilized in establishing the priorities. The procedures of the methodology will be used as the guide for this task. ~ Task 4. Identification and Evaluation of Alternative Enerity Conservation t Actions and Stra=tegies. The contractor will use the " Merho 0 ogy, art 11100 To- conduct the Toll owing actions: S a. Identify alternative actions that the community (public and private 4 parties) can undertake for energy conservation and management to meet the objectives developed under Task Three. r b. Identify the strategies to Implement these alternatives. I , C. Identify the probable energy, economic, environmental and other t Impacts on the community it the conservation action Is Implemented, d. Make an initial ranking and final selection of alternatives that are a „best" suited to meet the community ener„y objectives. The alternative actions studied In this task should Include consldera- r tions of three general areas: i 1. Community • Use - Consideration should be given to actions pertaining to m tenance, operation and retrofitting of functional elements such as residential, commercial, Industrial and public transpor. tation services. Activities here are concerned with improving the efficiencies of community elements and uses. Solutions may range from the Improvement of the energy efficiencies of existing ppuuMilc buildings through the development of ordinances requiring the rehabllltatlon of old buildings to meet certain thermal standards to irprovement In operation of the fleet of public vehicles through changes to smaller and more efficient cars. j l2 • 3 Y •f 2. Community Development/Community Design - The redesign of r the older community and the design of new communlt es represent two of the most Important opportunities for achieving the goal of energy savings ti. and be argrnng the alternative actions considered. These alternatives concern the physical form of the community, particularly the densities " and location of Its activities, the land-use pattern, and the' transportation r; technology linking them. Implementation may require mechanisms such as new zoning and subdivision regulations responsive to the conservation of energy. ` 3. ' Integrated Energy S s~tzmmss - These systems consist of a L M varlety of techno og es nvoly ng different fuel sources which produce QZ heating and cooling, provide electricity, utilize waste streams in an ,fit efficient and economical manner for a wide mixture of commercial, residential, public and Industrial uses. The systems may Include the x'.Z widest range of technologies and fuels, ranging from solar through nuclear, coal and geothermal. Appendix a contains a fuller description of Integrated Energy Systems. Use of this approach Is particularly important In relation to new Wd uses, for which the concern is the Integration of fuel resources and technologies with la.td-use systems. I A community lacking specialized capabilities In particular areas might have to arrange for appropriate assistance, such as engineering j assistance for the technology of Integrated systems concepts and financial consultants for the financing of these systems. 1 The evaluation of integrated energy systems alternatives shall , includt the following Itemst { Potential substitution of renewable or waste sources as the s ' primary energy Input. Projection of reliability and availability of the energy Input. Environmental Impact of the alternative. 1 Estimate of energy savings and life-cycle cost of the alternative. ( t`--✓) Socio-economic and political aspects, j Technological state and certainty of the alternative (existing practices, developing practices require additional evaluation before 1 Implementation). Total budgei and responsible authority for the alternative. Task 5. Preparation of the Draft Action for Implementation. The culmination i of the evalu3tR of the altrrnat ve act Ions and strategies will the selection of the 1 action plan for implementation. 11+ y 1 13 ii a A • An action plan for energy management will conta',n implementation recommen. dations; it will include a summary of the energy audit of the community's present and projected energy supplies and demands, the community energy goals and objectives and a summary of the alternatives analyzed to reach the program action plan. The action plan will be cn agenda of things for the community to do to conserve energy. It will list the options and strategies selected, the savings of depletable energy resources, the cost and the priority for Implementation. The action plan Yiill also include a proposed organization, program and budget for the Implementation of the plan. This organization may be the same as the one organized for the preparation of j the plan, a modification of this organization, or a new organization suited to deal with the complex aspects of Implementing a CCEMP action plan. The Implementation program of the action plan should also Include a mechanism for monitoring, documenting and evaluating the actual energy savings and the actual cost as the plan is being implemented. i 1 Task 6. Adoption of the., CCEMP Action Plan. (Optional but suggested. The contractor may choose to present the draft action plan for formal adoption as a task i of this project. It so, the proposal should Include estimates of the time and effort I that will be required to complete all public hearings and other deliberations attendant : to the adoption.) r The process of adopting the plan may be done in conjunctlon with adoption of other development plans, e.g.; General Development Plan, or follow a special process established specifically for the energy plan. This task will include all public hearings a and other deliberations mandated for the adoption process. j i , 1 r 14 r • f F(■r ~ *71 • wrmlr ~ , V' i r fi y i j ATTACHMENT B 1 i BUDGET 3 f f i ~ a t I +w4Y~3.a.YrvMI~cM«rY.r... _T...«uW~FliiY•yiW Attachment 8 Category CCEMP Loral Total Personnel , i Salaries $ 17,559 $ 20,965 $ 38,524 Fringe Benefits 2,171 3 535 5$706 Subcontracts 25,000 -0- 250000 Travel 10020 -0- 1,020 k 'Equipment (lease only) -0- -0- -0- Supplies and Other Direct Operating 5,600 -0- 50600 Expense Indirect Costs rate -0- Total $51,350 S 24,500 S 150850 , 1 t, ~m~ I 1 ~ • i 1 F 1 h re 1 r 's; r j 1 a.

PLACED ON AGENDA) Consider the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Support Commission to request that the Highway Department make the I-35 frontage road along the Mall 2-way from Loop 288 to Highway 77 SUMMARY The Traffic Safety Support Commission reviewed this request from residents in Township II and felt that requesting this from the Highway Department appeared to be a reasonable solution. FISCAL SUMMARYs The only cost involved would be signing.:Since this is on the Federal system, this cost would be borne by the Highway Department. ACTION REQUIREDI Council should make a motion to request a change from the Highway Department. ALTERNATIVESI r Leave the frontage road as it is. I STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS i This recommendation does have merit in that it provides an alternate route to the Nall. It appears that a major signingg and marking effort along this road could make it a safe way to enter the Nall. It 1s the staff s understanding that changing the 1-way status on the frontage road could have' some Federal funding ramifications to the State Highway Department budgets. Also since the frontage roads south of Loop 288 are 1 way there may be some sort of potential for accidents north of Loop 288.if this change is made. Taking all of these factors into consideration, the staff still feels that the 2-way recommendation may have some merit and we should pursue it with the Highway Department. EXHIBITS; 1. Memo to Q.

After looking at several alternatives, they voted to recommend to the Council that Piney Creek Blvd, be closed an an interim measure to help eliminate 'large amounts of traffic, Speeding, and litter problems caused by traffic to the Mail. FISCAL SUMMARY: The only cost to the City would be to errect the permanent-type barricade at this location. Estimated cost would be from $200.300. i • Q ACTION REQUIRED: r' If the Council would like to close Piney Creek Blvd, they should direct the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance for the next Council meeting. i W ' ALTERNATIVES: Not to close the street and leave all streets open for Public use, i i STAFP RECOMMENDATIONS: In the mid 10's, Township II was plated as a residential neighborhood adjacent to the Mall. At the time of plating, Piney Creek Blvd. was shown as connecting to San Gabriel. This was N.fore any housing was Started and therefore most of the J residents were aware of the street patterns.- Current speed limits in the sub- division are the standard 30 mph and if observed by all, traffic would probably not con4 titute any mayor safety problems. However, since there are manpower shortages in the Police Department and since people do have a tendency to, speed on San Gabriel, the Council may want to consider the measure on a temporary basis. l EXHIBITS: F. 4 I.

SUMMARY: Traffic Commission has reviewed this and felt that a driveway in this location . would not seriously impede traffic flow on Carroll because of the signals at both Oak and Hickory, i FISCAL SLRO(ARY: Total cost of construction will be borne by the developer. ACTION REQUIRED: Council should apprive the driveway cut on Carroll. ALTERNATIVES: Leave Carroll as it now is. s l STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: There will be a small negative uffect of thru traffic on Carroll Blvd, because of turning movements into this lot. However, because of the rations of the signal at Oak & Hickory and the 3 lanes of traffic-in the.south bound direction and the i hours of business for the companies located on this side, this negative effect will be•falrjy;small. Therefore the staff does not see any large detriment to the traffic movement on Carroll and would recommend approval. . EXHIBITS: 1. Memo to Chris Hartung It.

It appears that the contractors are concerned about the delays experienced in receiving final payments after the projects have been completed and accepted by the City, part of the problem lien in the current practice of taking final payments before the Advisory Boards and the Council I for their approval, ! i 1 For example, the Invoice for the Kendolph Street Waterline project was received on July 17, 1980. The invoice was reviewed ' by the staff and placed on the Utilities Board's Agenda in August for their consideration. The Council will review the payment at the August 19, 1980 Regular meeting. If the Council approves the payment, the Invoice will be processed through Purchasing and Accounting, with actual payment boring made some six weeks after the initial receipt of the invoice. Needless to sa Yi these lengthy delays can cause a great deal of { problems for the contractors as they must cover the costs of the project until the City can make final payment. In some instances the contractors have to secure loans to meet payrolls ' and pay for the necessary materials. Thus, the attractiveness of doing business with the City is greatly diminished. I have discussed this matter with the City Attorney and he is of the opinion that this practice of taking final payments to the Boards and the City Council to unnecessary, I In essence, when the Boards and the Council approve the contracts on these construction projects, they are also approving payment of the contract price. It would appear to be more practical to simply bring these final payments to the a } I ws Chris Hartung August 21, 1980 Page Two Council on the Consent %genda and eliminate advisory board consideration of these items. By adopting this practice, we shnv1d be able to reduce the payment processing time by two to four weeks. Of course, this would apply to only those projects I whi^.h are completed as per contract. We will continue to take those final payments to the Boards and Council in which the project a,id/or contract price have exceeded the original contract dacument. Bill Ange o r BASjm f 5 1 S i
