San Bruno City Council Meeting August 27, 2013
7. Consent Calendar

A
B
Do
realize
that
this
was
from
purchases
that
were
made
for
two
new
or
factors
that
we
currently
have.
This
was
part
of
the
purchase
was
the
training.
What
my
enquiry
is
and
was
is
the
cost
factor.
So,
for
example,
my
assumption
was
that
this
now
would
be
done
in-house.
We
would
need
to
send
it
to
Oakland
or
sell
city
or
Sacramento
in
order
to
have
some
type
of
maintenance
or
up
keep
the
information
I
received
back
tells
me,
and
it's
noted
that
this
is
not
necessarily.
B
B
For
example,
if
we
keep
a
hundred
percent
of
it
after
the
training,
we
might
have
to
get
certain
tools,
parts
there's
the
labor
factor
that
is
involved
for
our
staff,
doing
that
the
two
mechanics
and
then
what
do
we
spend
on
an
annual
basis
when
we
have
it
going
out
currently
I
understand,
there's
a
toe
I
understand
their
staff.
I
understand
we
have
it
down
as
far
as
service,
but
I'm
trying
to
understand
in
and
the
bigger
picture
is
where's
the
cost
where's
the
savings
and
where's
the
value.
C
Councilmember
Medina
previously
requested
information
regarding
the
cost
and
I
believe
that
the
number
that
was
provided
was
eleven
thousand
dollars
as
the
amount
that
the
city
has
spent
over
the
past
year
for
maintenance
of
the
vector
equipment.
That
number
does
not
include
full
calculation
of
the
value
of
down
time
for
staff
or
related
activities
that
that
that
are
not
paid
cash
out
of
pocket.
So
we
have
not
had
an
opportunity
to
calculate
the
all
end
cost
and
to
to
give
you
a
complete
answer.
C
But
that
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
of
perspective.
Talking
with
the
director
earlier
today.
There
are
a
couple
of
different
ways
to
evaluate
the
cost
effectiveness
of
the
proposal
that
is
in
front
of
you
tonight,
and
that
is
to
expend
approximately
four
thousand
dollars
for
lodging
and
travel.
That
would
be
required
to
allow
our
two
mechanics
to
take
advantage
of
training
that
is
offered
as
part
of
the
purchase
of
the
vector
equipment
using
that
four
thousand
dollars
as
the
city's
cost
for
the
taking
advantage
of
that
training.
C
The
equipment
itself
has
an
approximate
10
year
lifespan,
but
we
anticipate
being
able
to
through
a
better
troubleshooting
and
better
maintenance,
to
be
able
to
both
extend
the
useful
life
of
the
equipment,
avoid
downtime
and
provide
where
we
can
in-house
services
to
perform
basic
maintenance
tasks.
The
council
member
is
correct
that
it
will
not
eliminate
the
need
potentially
for
the
equipment
to
be
serviced
out
of
house,
but
it
is
an
important
initiative
for
the
city's
ability
to
properly
operate,
maintain
and,
as
I
indicated,
avoid
long-term
exposure
to
cost.
D
The
estimated
cost
for
one
trip
to
a
outside
shaft
would
be
around
roughly
five
thousand
dollars.
The
average
cost
of
the
service
of
three
thousand
plus
the
two
thousand
dollars
for
step
time
for
the
today
lost
takings
equipment
there,
and
back
that
F.
They
will
be
able
to
eliminate
one
trip
that
would
already
pay
more
back
to
the
city
than
how
much
would
all
cost
for
the
training.
So.
D
How
the
twelve
twelve
thousand
was
calculated
only
does
the
outside
service.
How
much
was
paid
to
that
shop
that
that
was
based
on
for
service
last
year
that,
if
you
are
dividing
12,000
with
four,
then
would
be
3,000,
plus
one
service
costs
paid
to
that
outside
shop,
plus
the
two
thousand
step
time
that
would
be,
in
average,
five
thousand
dollar
cost
for
a
three,
not
counting
the
damn
time
does.
B
E
Chair
Michael
have
some
questions
as
well,
so
it
looks
like
we're.
Making
some
basic
assumptions
in
terms
of
what
type
of
service
is
being
done:
regular
maintenance
versus
repairs
for
something
that
was
broken
and
what
the
mechanics
will
be
able
to
repair
in
house
versus
what
absolutely
needs
to
be
sent
to
an
outside
expert
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
I
mean
how
confident
we
are
in
those
numbers.
D
D
Information,
financial
information
and
also
the
staff
time
needed
for
one
trip,
was
based
on
actual
time
spent
that
the
prime
thousand-dollar
I
feel
very
comfortable.
Now
that
the
assumption
is
that
they
will
be
able
to
eliminate
at
least
one
trip.
That
is
the
assumption,
but
our
best,
our
assumption
is
that
they
will
be
able
to
eliminate
more
than
one,
but
our
comments
and
responses
were
very
conservative
assuming
the
worst
case
and
not
necessarily
the
best
case.
Certainly
our
goal
would
be
to
even
further
reduce
the
number
of
trips.
Even
have
those
threes.
E
E
One
of
the
question
in
terms
of
the
utilization
of
the
mechanics
currently
so,
if
we're
going
to
take
some
new
routine
maintenance
or
preventive
maintenance
tasks
related
to
the
factor
and
put
those
on
those
McCann,
are
they
going
to
now
be
over
utilized?
Is
it
do
they
have
the
capacity
now
to
take
on
the
additional
work
in
addition
to
what
we
currently
have
them
doing.
D
D
E
So
another
idea,
I
threw
out
earlier
when
I
was
talking
with
the
director,
was
that
perhaps
we
look
at
training
the
operators
as
mechanics
so
that
they
can
maintain
their
own
equipment
rather
than
relying
on
separate
a
separate
job
function.
That's
a
mechanic
to
do.
Then.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
a
discussion
there
in
terms
of
what
the
right
skill
set
is
for
that.
E
D
D
E
And,
and
to
share
with
my
colleagues
as
well,
something
we
discuss
is
that
going
forward.
There
are
going
to
be
some
opportunities
to
look
at
sharing
of
resources
across
the
the
cities
and
it's
something
that
the
department
is
constantly
looking
for,
and
there
will
be
some
opportunities
there
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
advantage
of
expertise
in
our
neighboring
cities.
Thank.
B
You
to
the
chair
just
from
following
up:
how
do
we
look
back
and
determine
whether
this
was
a
success?
Whether
or
not
this
was
good
investment
of
money,
whether
we're
finding
ourselves
in
a
you
know,
like
you,
said,
the
five
thousand
dollars,
so
do
you
from
a
year
from
now
look
back
at
this
and
say
money
well
spent.
You
know,
I
know,
there's
a
third
appt
factor
that
may
or
may
not
come
up
in
the
CIP.
Does
that
mean
additional
for
that?
B
It's
obviously
because
we
bought
these
two
newer
factors
that
obviously
we
now
need
the
assistance
because
obviously
need
to
train
on
the
new
machinery.
I
know
the
police
cars
I
believe
used
to
be
done
out
of
the
shop
when
they
became
and
when
it
came
in
new
and
they
were
geared
up
and
all
the
apparatuses
were
put
inside.
If
my
understanding
is
correct,
those
are
no
longer
done
here,
or
they
still
done
here
in
the
shop.
