FIRE DEPARTMENT
DATE: March 16, 1999
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James M. Reed, Fire Chief
Prepared By: Michael A. Casalou, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO FILL THE
POSITION OF FIREFIGHTER IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
Summary
The Fire Department is requesting the City Council authorize staff to fill a vacant Firefighter
position. Funding for this position was appropriated in the Fiscal Year 1998/99 Operating
Budget.
Discussion
Given that our fire suppression positions are classes in a promotional series, each time a
higher position is filled internally, a subordinate position is vacated. A recent resignation
of a Firefighter /Paramedic resulted in an internal promotional opportunity within the Fire
Department. The result of these personnel actions created one vacant Firefighter position.
The position of Firefighter performs specialized fire suppression work, assists with
emergency medical calls and performs other related duties as assigned. A current job
description for Firefighter is attached for your review.
Fiscal Impact
Funds for the vacant Firefighter position have been appropriated in the Fiscal Year
1998/99 Operating Budget.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council: Authorize staff to fill the position of Firefighter
in the Fire Department.

FROM: PAT MALLOY, MAINTENANCE SERVICES DIRECT��
PREPARED BY: BRYAN E. BOESKIN, MANAGEM T A L S
REVIEWED BY: JAN STEESE, PURCHASING OFFICER
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO COOPERATIVELY PURCHASE,
WITH THE CITY OF PASADENA TWO (2) 1999 FORD CROWN VICTORIA
4 -DOOR SEDANS FROM ROBERT H. LOUD FORD AT A COST OF
$46,022.48
SUMMARY
It is recommended that the City Council award a purchase contract for two (2) 1999 Ford
Crown Victoria 4 -Door Sedans to Robert H. Ford in the amount of $46,022.48. The City
Council approved a cooperative purchase contract with the State of California- Department
of General Services in the amount of $50,352.38 to Downtown Ford for these same
vehicles at the March 2, 1999 regular meeting. Staff has since been informed of a lower
price that is now being offered through a cooperative purchase with the City of Pasadena
and Robert H. Loud Ford. The cooperative purchase with the City of Pasadena will result
in savings to the City of $4,329.90.
DISCUSSION
One (1) 1999 Ford Crown Victoria 4 -Door Sedan will replace one (1) 1987 Chevrolet
Sedan in the Police Department. The other 1999 Crown Victoria will replace one (1) 1991
Buick Regal in the Fire Department. Both of the existing cars are high - mileage vehicles that
are in marginal condition and require frequent service and repair. Current maintenance
costs for these vehicles are excessive and merit replacement.
As discussed in the March 2, 1999 report to the City Council, staff investigated the
possibility of a cooperative purchase, commonly known as "piggy- backing ", with another
larger public agency for the purchase of vehicles with specifications equal to or greater
than the City of Arcadia's. At that time the State's Department of General Services had the
lowest bid available for the replacement vehicles. Staff had communicated with the City of
Pasadena, but figures on these vehicles were not available at the time of the March 2,
1999 City Council meeting. Subsequent to the meeting, staff discovered through a
conversation with Pasadena that it had received a lower bid for the vehicles. The City of
Pasadena, in cooperation with Robert H. Loud Ford of Pasadena, CA has authorized the
City to "piggy- back" on their purchase order at significant savings to the City. Robert H.
Loud Ford has agreed to discount the price of each 1999 Crown Victoria by 2 percent (total
of $920.45) if payment in full is received within 20 days of delivery. LASER WAGED

Public agencies often utilize other agencies formal bidding results (known as a cooperative
purchase or "piggy- backing" on the contract) when the agreement between the agency and
the vendor meets the specifications of the using agency. Staff has purchased this type of
vehicle from Robert H. Loud before and has determined that it is a qualified dealership and
that the 1999 Ford Crown Victoria's meet the City's specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $50,352.38 are budgeted for the purchase of these two vehicles.
The cost to purchase the 1999 Ford Crown Victoria for the Police Department is
$23,127.61. The cost to purchase the 1999 Ford Crown Victoria for the Fire Department
is $ 22,894.87. The total cost for both vehicles is $46,022.48.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Rescind the previous authorization to enter a purchase contract with Dowtown
Ford in the amount of $50,352.38 for the purchase of two (2) 1999 Ford Crown
Victoria Police Interceptor 4 -Door Sedans.
2. Waive the Competitive Bidding process and piggy -back on the City of
Pasadena's bid and award a contract for the purchase of two (2) 1999 Ford
Crown Victoria Police Interceptor 4 -Door Sedans to Robert H. Loud in the
amount of $46,022.48.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase contract in a form approved
by the City Attorney.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
DATE: March 16, 1999
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: William R. Kelly, City Manager 1;•,,
By: Don Penman, Deputy Ci y V anager/Development Services Director
SUBJECT: REPORT REGARDING POLICE/FIRE/CIVIC CENTER PROJECT
SUMMARY
•
The City Council on March 2 directed staff to provide information to the Council at your
next meeting regarding the status and schedule of activities relative to the development
of a new police station. This report, and the attached flow chart, responds to that
request and also addresses the needs at Fire Station 1, since that project is scheduled
within the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 00-01. Additionally, though no
action is required at this time, as the project moves forward, the architectural
compatibility of the other existing Civic Center facilities (City Hall, Council Chambers) as
well as overall site planning, will be included in the analysis.
BACKGROUND
The deficiencies of the current police station are well known and thoroughly
documented to the extent that there is little question that a new facility is needed.
The City Council has requested that staff prepare a schedule addressing the timeframe
for development of a new station. The attached flow chart provides that information.
The initial step in the process is to conduct a Needs Assessment. While analysis of
Police Department space needs has been conducted previously, that information should
be updated and refined to reflect current needs and space requirements by functional
area, since different spaces within a police facility can vary significantly in terms of cost
of construction, i.e. jail vs. office. Once the space needs for the Department are
identified, a preliminary budget estimate can be established.
As the Police facility project moves forward, the City will have to address the entire Civic
Center relative to architectural compatibility and site planning for parking, circulation,
and landscaping. Once the space requirements of the police station are established, ,
the actual site configuration for the station will be studied inclusive of these factors.

Though no action is needed at this time in this area, these elements will be brought into
the planning process at a later date.
The CIP identifies architectural services for Fire Station 1 as a project in FY 00-01. The
Station was constructed in 1958 and an addition was constructed in 1982; however the
original building has not undergone any major renovation. Additionally, seismic codes
have been upgraded several times since then to reflect the most up-to-date standards
to withstand ground movement from earthquakes. Fire and police facilities are
considered essential facilities by the State and as such must meet the highest
standards to withstand these types of events. New essential facilities constructed today
must be designed at 1.5 times the typical building code standard for structural integrity.
Since Fire Station 1 is proposed for some renovation, staff would include the analysis of
what is required for that renovation in the needs assessment at the same time as the
Police facility. The fire station assessment will encompass an analysis of the cost to
bring the facility up to the current seismic code, as well as other necessary renovations.
•
The attached flow chart also provides a general review of the process to project
t completion. Staff will present at the Council meeting a more detailed verbal explanation
of the process as to future issues and impacts and decision points.
FISCAL IMPACT
It is difficult to determine at this time the cost to conduct the Needs Assessment for the
Police Station and Fire Station 1. If staff's recent experience with- architectural
proposals for the Historical Museum is any indication, costs may vary significantly.
Staff would anticipate however, that they might be in the range of $50,000 to $60,000.
Funds for this study, can be appropriated from the Facility Construction Fund. Once
proposals for the Needs Assessment are received and an amount can be determined,
an appropriation by the City Council can be requested.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council previously directed that staff proceed with the Needs
Assessment. Therefore, no specific action is requested at this time. This report
is provided in response to Council's request for information on the status of this
project.

SUBJECT: Recommendation to adopt Resolution No.7996, a Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Arcadia requesting the construction of a
soundwall on the westbound Route 210 Freeway in Arcadia from
Second Avenue to Santa Anita Avenue and approving a contribut on
of 33% of the estimated cost of the soundwall project
SUMMARY
Gia
Attached for City Council review and consideration is Resolution No. 700&,
requesting the construction of a soundwall on the westbound Route 210 Freew y
in Arcadia from Second Avenue to Santa Anita Avenue and approving a
contribution of 33% of the estimated cost of the soundwall project.
DISCUSSION
As directed by the City CouncJ;pt_the last City Council meeting, staff has prepared
the attached Resolution No.'7996 for adoption requesting the construction of a
freeway soundwall and approving a contribution of 33% of the estimated cost o the
project. Over the next four months, Caltrans staff will begin to perform the reqUired
Noise Barrier Scoping Study Report (NBSSR). Information ascertained from the
NBSSR will be used to determine project scope and cost estimates. Cost
estimates identified in the NBSSR will be used as the basis for the City's 33% I cal
contribution. Early estimated assume a total project cost of$1.679 million inclding
the City's estimated 33% contribution of$550,000. At.the completion of the
NBSSR, staff will come back to the Council with a complete update and estim ted
project cost.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds allocated for this project would come from Proposition C Local Return
funds. Currently, the City has approximately $2 million of Proposition C Local
Return funds in unrestricted reserve. As Proposition C Local Return funds are
restricted to transportation related projects and have a timely use clause of 3
LASER gM GED
de
years from date of allocation, staff believes this to bean appropriate and
effective use of those funds
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.700 , a
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcadia requesting the
construction of a soundwall on the westbound Route 210 Freeway in Arcadia
from Second Avenue to Santa Anita Avenue and approving a contribution of
