Street Sweeping Contract In an effort to reduce expenditures, Councilmember Herfert
suggested cutting back street sweeping to once every four
weeks, rather than the current once every two weeks. He
felt it would save the City $100,000 that could be used
for another.police officer:'.Mayor Pro Tem Jennings
appreciated the suggestion; however, it would be diffi-
cult to earmark that money at this time and such a dis-
cussion should be folded into'.the,long range financial
study sessions. He supported the concept of looking
• into the matter and felt it should be approved as is
recommended at this time.
City Engineer Thomas explained the significance
of the National Pollution Elimination Discharge System.
The City is currently permitted to sweep twice a month.
If the City reduces sweeping to once a month that means
• there is more street debris flowing directly into the
storm drain. _.Reducir.`g sweeping frequency needs approval...

the street sweeping contract for the next twelve months

Mayor Manners felt that the problems of the contractor
could be due in part to inexperience, noting that the
response time in removing graffiti for the last couple
of months has deteriorated to such an extend that the
Consortium is not meeting the contract requirements.
Slowness in removing graffiti only creates more graffiti
to be removed. If the contractor feels he cannot comply
with the terms of the agreement, she would be willing to
let him out of the contract. Seeking retroactive.reim-
bursement is unbelievable.
Councilmember McFadden asked about the RFP process.
Noting thetcohtract expiration date of August 31, 1993,
he asked if another provider would be able to work on a
month -to -month basis, if the Consortium did pull out
of the contract.
City Manager Starbird responded that the RFP process
takes about 60 to 90 days. Staff has not inquired about
an interim. -.provider, but would pursue the question. He
also mentioned that there were several issues that needed
to be resolved in any event; such as defining "site"
dimensions, how many sites there are, clarifying quality
control, reviewing reporting requirements, etc. He
recommended staff meet with the Consortium to work out
these issues and report back to Council.
Mayor Manners stated that meeting to address the issues
was a fine idea as long as the Consortium understands
it doesn't equate to a commitment on the part of the
City in relation to their requests.
Motion by McFadden, seconded by Wong to continue to meet
with the Consortium to sort out the issues without
commitment ardtreport.backrto Council,;-andito-begin
work on the RFP process.
An amendment was offered by Herfert to include in the
RFP process all graffiti removal - including that which
is removed by City crews on public property. Discussion
followed regarding separating graffiti removal tasks from
the other duties performed by the City crews. Council
was favorably_ainclined to review the analysis of the
work performed by the City crews.
Upon further discussion, Mayor Manners clarified the
motion for action: to direct staff to meet with the
Consortium to develop a proposed revised compensation
package, prepare a draft of an RFP to provide graffiti
removal services in the City, report on the graffiti
removal activities of the City Maintenance Department
costs and programs with an evaluation of what may be
contracted through the RFPs, and provide a report on the
above in thirty days. Mayor Manners asked for a vote
and the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Manners called a recess at 10:03 pm. Council
reconvened at 10:12 pm with all members present.
