staff
recommends
that
he
council
adopt
resolution.
Six
are
nineteen,
releasing
certain
closed
session
meeting
minutes
and
finding
that
a
need
still
exists
for
confidentiality.
As
to
other
minutes,
the
city
is
furthering
its
efforts
to
provide
access
to
information
and
openness
in
government
through
the

A

recommend
City

adoption

resolution.
A
A
for
staff
recommend
City
Council
approve
of
the
purchase
of
ten
vehicles
for
operation
in
the
police
department,
fire
department
and
facilities
management.
The
following
vehicles
will
be
purchased,
as
stated
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred
two
thousand
five
hundred
sixty
seven
dollars.

eighteen
dollars,
which
has
a
budget
amount
of
1
million.
Six
hundred
twenty-two
thousand
nine
hundred
seventy
seven
dollars.
This
expenditure
represents
nineteen
point.
Four
percent
of
this
budget
amount.
A
It's
for
action
and
I
have
questions
about
the
vehicles
that
are
being
purchased
and
those
that
are
going
out
of
service.
And
how
are
we
determining
that?
We
cannot
continue
to
maintain
those
and
what
is
the
need?
What
sort
of
services
are
being
limited
without
the
purchase
of
these
new
vehicles?
Like
please
help
me
understand
the
demand
for
$315,000
and
vehicle
purchases.
Sure.
B
The
reason
why
we're
moving
along
some
of
these
Police
Department
vehicles
is
because
the
the
wear
and
tear
they
get
and
the
critical
nature
of
the
vehicles
so,
for
example,
the
police
vehicles
and
the
fire
vehicles
they
may
idle
a
lot
throughout
the
day.
Every
every
hour
of
idling
time
is
equal
to
30
miles.
B
So
that
starts
to
add
up
on
these
cars.
What
we've
done
is
we've
evaluated
everything
we've
got
in
the
fleet
and
we're
repurposing
a
lot
of
these
vehicles
so
that
they're
reused
in
other
areas.
For
example,
we've
got
Parks
and
Recreation
every
year
we
lease
vehicles
for
the
summertime
for
them
to
do
some
do
some
work
in
the
parks
and
on
the
beaches
for
those
vehicles
that
we
rent
for
six
months.
Every
year
example.
B
So
we've
got
so:
we've
got
two
vans
that
they
use.
They
bring
their
staff
around.
They
pick
up
things
on
the
beach
they
clean
things
up.
Take
care
of
the
you
know:
cleaning
up
the
restrooms
things
like
that.
Those
vehicles
we
rent
for
six
months
out
of
the
year
and
so
what
we
can
do
by
repurposing
some
of
these
vehicles
that
we
have
in
PD.
We
can
give
those
to
Parks
and
Recreation
to
use
over
the
summer
and
get
a
little
more
use
out
of
them
so
that
we're
saving
money.
B
B
The
idea,
the
idea
we
have
is
to
circulate
some
of
the
cars
that
are
used
a
little
more
heavy-duty
in
the
beginning
of
their
warranty
period
for
police
fire
things
like
that.
We
use
them
the
most
at
their
warranty
period.
We
take
advantage
of
the
warranty
to
get
them
fixed
and
then
towards
the
end
of
their
lifespan,
recirculate
them
and
repurpose
them
into
other
other
departments.
B
B
If
we
well,
we
couldn't
rely
upon.
We
wouldn't
have
reliable
services
in
PD.
We
would
you
know
we
would
eliminate
some
vehicles
if
we
didn't
replace
them,
so
that
would
cut
down
on
emergency
services
same
thing
with
the
fire
vehicle
we've
got,
the
battalion
chief
is
using
one
of
those
vehicles,
for
you
know,
supplies
and
materials
and
things
when
he
responds
to
different
calls.
B
C
Yeah,
so
I
I
also
have
some
concerns.
However,
I
see
that
on
some
of
them
we
spent
more
money
in
the
repairs
than
we
did
for
the
purchase
friend.
B
C
Guess,
for
another
conversation,
maybe
with
the
chief
of
police
and
chief
of
fire
department,
I,
have
some
concerns
about
the
Idol,
and
you
mentioned
the
Idol
and
in
terms
of
wear
and
tear
and
I
know,
I
asked
chief
Eddington
about
this
last
year
when
I
went
somewhere
and
there
were
lots
of
police
cars
and
they
all
were
idling
and
I
was
told
that
that
was
a
policy
of
the
city
that
they
are
allowed
to.
Leave
the
cars
running
and
so
I
guess.
C
I
would
like
us
to
put
that
on
the
agenda
for
another
day
to
just
kind
of
revisit
that
policy
of
idling.
It's
really
necessary.
Obviously
we're
paying
gas
we're
trying
to
get
to.
You
know
zero
emissions
and
all
these
things
in
our
city
and
in
this
particular
time
there
had
to
be
about
15
police
cars.
In
the
summer
they
were
idling
what
the
air
conditioning
on
and
the
windows
up.
So
now
you
know
you're
saying
that
also
as
to
the
wear
and
tear
correct.
B
C
D
B
So
it's
it's
late,
it's
the
labor,
mitts
labor,
it's
the
materials.
We
figure.
We
figure
all
that
into
they're
our
software,
when
we,
when
we
make
repairs
a
vehicle,
we
log
in
the
of
the
man-hours
that
we
spend
for
mechanics
working
on
it
and
then
also
the
materials
so
that
it
calculates
it
all
focus.
D
B
So
it
kind
of
depends
on
capacity.
We
try
to
do
as
much
as
we
can
in
house,
especially
on
some
of
the
you
know,
some
of
the
smaller
vehicles,
the
more
specialized
equipment,
fire
trucks,
some
of
the
sweepers
and
garbage
trucks.
Sometimes
we
have
to
send
those
out
to
get
them
service,
but
we
try
to
do
as
much
as
we
can
in
house,
and
you
know
it
works.
It
works
out
pretty
well.
So
did.
B

F

Nine
contract
with
Wang
knee
group
for
Sherman
Plaza
lighting,
strimmer
Plaza
garage
lighting,
upgrade
the
staff
recommends.
City
Council
authorized
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
contract
for
the
Sherman
Plaza
Garage
lighting,
upgrade
with
hogni
group
in
the
amount
of
330
$4,618.00
funding
is
available
from
the
parking
fund,
which
has
a
balance
of
$650,000,
all
of
which
is
remaining.
This
is
for
action.
F
F
A
C
A
D
F
So
when
I
was
reading
through,
this
I
was
a
little
bit
disappointed.
Cuz
I
wanted
a
little
bit
more
information,
so
$300,000
for
lights
is
a
lot
of
money
and
typically,
if
someone's
looking
to
upgrade
lighting,
there
should
be
some
type
of
schedule,
I
think
to
show
what
the
savings
is
going
to
be
calculated
savings
for
that
kind
of
spend
and
that's
what
I
felt
like
was
missing
from
the
package.
So
I
don't
know
if
I'm
to
the
point
to
hold
this
up
it
I
guess
it
depends.
F
If
anyone
else
has
a
question,
but
that's
what
I
would
love
to
see
like
how
much
are
we
saving
over
a
period
of
years
by
upgrading
to
these
lights?
Otherwise,
yeah
I'd
like
to
see
that
and
I'm
surprised,
I'm
sure
that
it's
you
received
it
when
they
submitted
their
bid
and
maybe
just
didn't
make
the
packet
good.
G
Evening
Madame
chair
members
of
the
committee
Erica
story,
a
cistern
city
manager
I
actually
have
a
lot
of
information
about
that.
There's
the
lights
that
are
in
there
they've
been
in
there.
Since
2013,
we
got
a
grant
from
the
state
to
put
those
lights
in
and
as
with
all
technologies
that
evolve,
VHS
versus
beta
sure
who's
going
to
win
the
light
fixtures
that
we
put
in
at
that
time
are
no
longer
available.
Leds
are
all
all
over
the
place.
It's
we've
already
lost
about
20%
of
those
lights
and
we
cannot
replace
them.
G
So
staff
is
playing
a
cat-and-mouse
game
of
every
time.
A
light
goes
out,
take
one
from
another
place,
put
it
over
there,
so
that
you
don't
have
huge
gaps
without
any
light
and
then
light
other
places.
So
if
you
drive
through
the
garage,
you'll
notice
they're
out
here
in
there,
but
they're
not
in
a
concentrated
place,
because
we've
been
doing
this
sort
of
game,
so
that's
presents
a
sense
of
urgency.
We're
also
replacing
the
cameras
in
this
garage
that
will
be
coming
to
you
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
G
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
adequate
lighting
so
that
security
cameras
can
function
as
appropriate,
we're
switching
to
the
LEDs.
We
imagine
that
there's
going
to
be
a
20-year
lifespan
of
the
fixtures
they
the
return
on
the
investment
is
seven
years
so
we'll
we've
already
realized
a
pretty
good
reduction
in
electricity
cost
just
going
to
the
fixtures
that
we've
had
for
the
last
five
years,
but
that
will
be
exponentially
better
with
the
LEDs
and
with
the
reduction
in
the
electrical
costs
subtracting
the
cost
of
replacing
them
from
year,
7
to
your
approximately
twenty.
F

D

A
A
We
have
an
item
for
a
discussion.
We
had
no
public
comment.
Today
we
have
a
pw1
at
the
January
14th
2019
administration
and
Public
Works
meeting.
The
committee
discussed
a
purchase
made
by
the
City
Clerk's
office
for
assistance
with
grant
writing.
It
was
requested.
This
matter
returned
to
the
next
committee
meeting
for
further
discussion
clerk.
H
H
--Is
with
the
government
shutdown,
the
IRS
was
not
open
and
we
were
unable
to
get
a
407
6c
affirmation
of
instrumentality,
which
is
the
government
information
letter
that
proves
that
we
are
a
government
entity
which
means
that
we're
eligible
for
some
of
these
grants
we're
going
to
be
able
to
give
the
full
picture
within
the
written
memo.
But
what
I
can
to
say
today
is
that
we've
we
are
applying
for
several
grants.
Most
of
all
of
them
are
up
to
$25,000.
H
The
grants
are
relating
to
civic
engagement,
particularly
our
work
in
increasing
voter
participation
here
in
the
city.
We've
also
applied
for
some
grants.
Looking
into
we're
also
looking
into
grants
that
will
help
us
create
a
a
specifics
coding
program
within
the
clerk's
office,
and
so
those
were
what
the
grants
are
relating
to
you.
They
are
telogen
community
initiative
for
up
to
$25,000.
There's
a
Walmart
Foundation
grant
for
up
to
$25,000,
as
well
as
us
trust,
Illinois
Illinois
for
up
to
$25,000
those.
The
three
grants
we're
currently
looking
at
and
we
are
interested
in
pursuing
others.
