On November 9, 2016, the City Clerk sent a letter (attached) to the Secretary to the Board of Directors stating that the City Council intends to appoint Councilmember Margaret Clark as the temporary alternate for only the November 14, 2016 meeting. Recommendation: That the City Council appoint Councilmember Margaret Clark as the temporary alternate on the Los Angeles County Sanitation District for only the November 14, 2016 meeting. F. Information Technology Professional Services The City of Rosemead has historically contracted for Information Technology (IT) Professional Services. Currently, the City is utilizing an IT service model that was developed over a decade ago. To support employees in providing service to the public, the City's IT Division maintains and supports an aging IT system consisting of over 100 computers, 14 servers, numerous enterprise and department specific software programs and systems, and several output devices (printers, faxes, etc.). The City currently contracts for one IT person, onsite two days a week, with no offsite hours to support and maintain the infrastructure and systems described above. Due to the increased dependability on technology and the efficiency it brings to the management of the services and programs provided to the community, the City is in need of additional support and development of a long term strategic management and implementation plan for IT. The current two days a week model with no off -site desk help or support has not allowed for critical plans to be developed, systems to be maintained and upgraded, and aging equipment to be refreshed. In an effort to bring the City's IT in compliance with best practices, staff recommends continuing to contract for IT management services, while utilizing both on -site and off -site support. By contracting for both on -site and off -site services, the City will be able to utilize specialized resources from a variety of IT professionals. This model will allow the City to implement, upgrade and support enterprise and other systems that will provide better and more efficient service to residents as well as staff, which depend on the IT infrastructure on a daily basis. Additionally, contracting with a firm that has a robust support system will allow for an IT Strategic Plan to be developed. A plan will identify areas where systems, software and hardware can be more efficient and provide a schedule for 6 Cy Council, Housing Development Corporation and the Successor Agency T the Rosemead Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Agenda December 13, 2016 implementing necessary upgrades to maintain and enhance technology -based services to the public. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a three year Professional Services Agreement with Interwest Consulting Group for Information Technology (IT) Project Management Services and appropriate $19,704 from unassigned fund balance to offset the current IT Services budget for FY 2016 -17.

Recommendation: That the City Council approve Tract Map No. 72871 and the Undertaking Agreement and direct the City Clerk to arrange for the recordation of the map. H. Traffic Signal Maintenance Services — Contract Award The City requires professional contracting services to provide routine traffic signal maintenance services, emergency repair services, non- emergency maintenance, new equipment upgrade and installation. The City owns 43 traffic signalized intersections, 13 in- roadway lighting systems and 8 speed feedback sign locations. All other traffic signalized intersections are owned by Los Angeles County or Caltrans. The City currently uses Siemens for traffic signal maintenance and on -call emergency services for these intersections. The contract with Siemens has expired and the City is currently utilizing Siemens' services on a monthly basis. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a two (2) year contract with St. Francis Electric for an estimated annual cost of $106,950 for the first two (2) years, with an annual option to renew for the following two (2) years. I. Adoption of Complete Streets Policy to Maintain Eligibility for Grant Applications The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has developed a Complete Streets Policy (Policy) to establish a standard of excellence 7 Sty Council, Housing Development Corporation and the Successor Agency W the Rosemead Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Agenda December 13, 2016 for multimodal design. The term "Complete Streets" describes a comprehensive, integrated transportation network with infrastructure and design that allows safe and convenient travel along and across streets for all users, including pedestrians, users and operators of public transit, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, seniors, children, motorists, users of green modes, and movers of commercial goods. Complete Streets is a high level policy direction that helps redefine how transportation agencies approach streets and highways so that the outcome is a transportation system that balances the needs of all users, regardless of age, ability, or mode of transportation. Recommendation: That the City Council approves to adopt Resolution No. 2016- 66 (Attachment "A ") adopting the Rosemead Complete Streets Policy. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A COMPLETE STREETS POLICY 6. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF A. Amendments to Rosemead Municipal Code Title 6 - Animals The City of Rosemead Municipal Code, Title 6 pertaining to animals was last amended in 2009. At the time of the last amendment, the Municipal Code included a limit on Household pets permitted per dwelling unit by making reference to those limits found in the Zoning Code. The Zoning Code was updated in 2013, and the household pet limit language was unintentionally omitted. As a result, the current code does not include a limit on animals per dwelling unit. Not having the animal limit in the Municipal Code has created code enforcement challenges, therefore staff is recommending that the animal limit be returned to the Municipal Code. The current Code also includes an optional identification license for cats, which was not included in the fee resolution approved by City Council in May 2016 and is a process that has not been utilized or practiced in recent years. In order to bring the Code into compliance with current practices, three amendments are recommended. The proposed ordinance changes (Attachment A) will return to the Municipal Code a limit to the number of pets in a dwelling unit to three and remove outdated Code language. The proposed ordinance, adds a Household Pets definition to Section 6.02.010, new Section 6.04.240 regarding Animal Keeping, and removes Chapter 6.12 regarding cats and the optional indemnification license for cats. These three amendments are listed below: Additions: • Section 6.02.010—Definitions X. Household Pets: A domesticated animal, such as a dog, cat, or Vietnamese pot - bellied pig. • Section 6.04.240 —Animal Keeping s Qy Council, Housing Development Corporation and the Successor Agency T the Rosemead Community Development Commission Joint Meeting Agenda December 13, 2016 Household pets and/or Miscellaneous Animals (as listed under RMC Section 6.04.040) may not exceed three animals total per dwelling unit. Deletions: • Chapter 6.12 CATS Section: 6.12.010 Optional identification license for cats In order to provide a method for identifying cats, a license may be obtained. The fee for such license shall be established by resolution of the city council. These licenses shall be valid for the life of the cat. This section shall not require the licensing of cats, but merely provides for their optional licensing. Recommendation: That the City Council approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 970, amending Title 6 of the Rosemead Municipal Code. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 6 CONCERNING ANIMALS 7. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL A.
