Item G-1. Consideration of an Animal Sheltering Agreement with the Michigan Humane Society, Westland Shelter. (PSD)

Motion by Bennett, supported by McLaughlin to approve the proposed Animal Sheltering Agreement between the Michigan Humane Society and Canton Township, and authorize the Township Supervisor to sign on behalf of Canton Township. Motion carried unanimously.

For the past several years, the Township has contracted with the Humane Society of Huron Valley (“HSHV”) in Ann Arbor to handle stray and injured animals found in the Township and delivered to HSHV by the Township’s animal control agent, Varmint Police. Over the past three years, the fees paid to HSHV for animal sheltering services have increased significantly, from invoices provided by HSHV compared against the terms of the contract and the invoices received from Varmint Police. Based on this review, negotiations were entered into between the Township and HSHV to revise the existing agreement to place more financial controls on the fees. After many months of discussion, on November 19th, HSHV provided the Township with a notice of termination of the existing Agreement, effective December 31, 2014.

Because of the concerns regarding the escalating costs, the Township had been exploring alternate shelters to provide this service to the Township. One of those shelters is the Michigan Humane Society Shelter in Westland. Prior to contracting with HSHV, the Township had utilized the Westland shelter. An onsite visit was conducted by Deputy Chief Newsome and Kristin Kolb, and a proposed sheltering agreement has been provided by the shelter. The proposed contract has a set $2,000/month fee for sheltering lost, stray, and injured animals, with additional charges for wildlife care, rabies tests, and other shelter-related services to be provided by the Michigan Humane Society (“MHS”). MHS will shelter lost and/or stray animals in accordance with the laws of the state of Michigan, and will also issue licenses to Canton residents who claim unlicensed strays or adopt animals from the shelter. The proposed agreement with MHS should result in a significant cost savings to the Township for animal sheltering services.

Director Mutchler explained the township is required by statute to provide animal control and service for the community. With the termination of Huron Valley Humane Society’s contract, the goal was to find an alternative agency to provide animal control. The Westland branch of the Michigan Humane Society met all our criteria. In addition to an onsite visit to the MHS Westland Shelter, we contacted several communities currently using the shelter for their services, such as Livonia, Northville Township, Redford and the City of Westland and they are all very satisfied with their service being rendered.

MHS’s policies, procedures and protocols have been evaluated by external experts including Cornell University’s School of Veterinary Medicine within the last year. Utilizing the micro- chipping, MHS has an almost 100% return rate to their owners when animals are found. MHS places 100% of healthy and ; 100% of treatable canines, and 68% of treatable felines; also they have no time limit on their adoptions. Their facility also provides 24 hour veterinary services on call.

December 9, 2014 20

Director Mutchler introduced David Williams and Matt Pepper from Michigan Humane Society (MHS) to answer questions.

Trustee Yack asked, “How is MHS structured?”

Mr. Williams replied, they are a 501c3 Organization. They operate 3 shelters in Southeast Michigan. They have been in business since 1877, first established in the city of Detroit. MHS has a budget of approximately 16.5 million dollars. MHS has a Cruelty Investigation Team (Animal Cops) that have been on the Discovery Channel. They do a lot of legislative work in Michigan.

Trustee Yack asked if anyone can establish a “Humane Society”.

Mr. Williams explained you must establish a 501c3 agency with the government, and have a name not already established by another entity.

Trustee Yack asked how many are there in Michigan.

Mr. Williams answered there are about 150 licensed by the Department of Agriculture.

Public Comments:

Shelly Pinter, 1597 E. Lakeview Ln., Canton, asked what specific board standards MHS met.

Director Mutchler explained Canton’s criteria. We needed a shelter that was a safe facility, with high standards of care. Also, it must be fiscally sound.

Ms. Pinter asked if the service would also include wildlife. She asked if “cats” were also included. Ms. Kolb explained it would cover injured, orphaned, or sick cats.

Ms. Pinter asked what would be considered “treatable” with regard to cats. Ms. Kolb explained the standard is set by MHS and their .

Ms. Pinter asked if MHS would be able to properly serve the number of animals delivered to them. Ms. Kolb replied yes.

Jeanie Denstedt, 6800 Woonsocket, Canton, asked about the MHS lost and found policy.

Mr. Williams explained MHS feels the responsibility rests with the owner to microchip their . To that end, MHS will be offering “micro-chipping” clinics with low-cost, or free to those who qualify, micro chipping of pets. The MHS website allows people, who have lost their micro chipped pets, to post notices there. They do not provide a service of posting flyers at their facility.

Karen Patterson, 44661 Jeffrey Cir., Canton, questioned the hold time for stray dogs and/or cats.

December 9, 2014 21

Mr. Williams explained the state law has a mandatory minimum 4 days for stray dogs if the animal does not have indication of ownership; 7 days if the animal has traceable ownership – like a microchip. Although these are the minimum, MHS often holds them much longer. As for cats, there is no state mandated hold time for humane societies or other animal shelters, unless they intend to sell the animal for research. Mr. Williams explained selling an animal for research is absolutely against their policy and MHS will have no part of that.

Ms. Patterson asked if cats are the legal property of MHS when they come into their shelter.

Mr. Williams again explained there is no state mandatory hold time, unless this has bitten someone. 10 days is the mandatory hold time for a cat that bites a human. Cats that are not suffering will be held for a minimum of 4 days.

Ms. Patterson stated that Huron Valley was providing the trap/neuter/release program free of charge to Canton. She asked how MHS would be involved in the -cat population control.

Director Mutchler explained the township is not aware of such a program being provided by Huron Valley for Canton. He also he is not aware of it ever being established that Canton does indeed have a feral-cat problem.

Mr. Williams explained MHS operates a trap/neuter/release program. However, MHS will be working with Canton to establish guidelines related to this type of program.

Ms. Patterson stated she has heard that the Detroit shelter was ‘bursting at the seams’ and asked how MHS will handle the influx of animals from Canton.

Mr. Williams explained MHS has recently broken ground on a 35,000 square foot addition in the City of Detroit. The last major addition was in the 1950’s. This will enable MHS to better serve Southeast Michigan.

Renee Miller, 45693 Radnor, Canton, owns a rescued breed. Ms. Miller asked what the MHS policy is on handling a “bully-breed” of .

Mr. Williams explained MHS treats each animal by their individual personality. No animal is judged based solely on their breed or the breed’s so-called reputation.

Diane Beaga – Plymouth Resident at 12005 Chandler Drive, read a letter regarding animals living outdoors, mainly cats, but including wildlife. She advocated the fair and humane treatment of these animals.

Jennifer McLaughlin, 5761 Fairborn, Canton, inquired about the euthanasia rate of MHS. She stated the MHS actual save rate is only about 30%.

Mr. Williams explained that each organization calculates their rate slightly differently. MHS uses a standard developed by the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators called SILIMAR. This was developed because of the confusing statistics published throughout the country. MHS

December 9, 2014 22

is a truly open shelter taking in animals from all areas of southeastern Michigan. They do not turn any animals away. They take all animals, not turning away animals based on health or disposition, or any possessing other undesirable traits. They focus on what they can save – what is treatable and healthy.

Anna Latello, 9400 Warren Road, Plymouth Resident – asked if a cat came in that was FIV positive; or a dog with heartworm or an injury that would require amputation, what would MHS do for the animal.

Mr. Williams replied every effort would be made to cure/heal the animal. MHS literally spends thousands of dollars to cure/save the animals they receive and find all of them homes. They are looking for a comfortable and safe environment for the animal to heal and survive.

Ms. Latello asked about the fees charges per animal by Varmint Police. Ms. Kolb replied the township pays just over $5000 a month to Varmint Police, which has remained the same since 2008. The fees are not charged as a flat per animal fee, but differ based on the amount of service necessary each time.

George Miller, 1946 Briarfield Canton, asked how long MHS keeps a dog and why an owner can’t get their dog back if someone adopts the and the original owner happens to be out of town for more days than MHS keeps the dog.

Mr. Williams explained the animal is kept a minimum of 4 days before it is eligible for adoption. If an animal has traceable evidence of ownership, they will make every effort to find the owner.

Trustee Williams commented that Canton’s ordinance language has been changed to remove any discriminatory language based on breeds.

Trustee Sneideman stated as a pet owner he appreciates the citizen’s comments. Sneideman stated the contract has a 30 day “out clause” for both sides, so if things do not work out with either party this contract may be terminated. Sneideman asked why the fees have risen so much from Huron Valley Humane Society.

Ms. Kolb explained the Finance Department as well as Deputy Chief Newsome have been keeping a close watch on the rising costs. After meeting with HVHS, they discovered that Canton was being charged any fees that an owner would not pay. There were several inconsistencies in the way charges were being billed to Canton Township. Although these problems were discussed with HVHS, they were not willing to change the way they were charging Canton.

Trustee Sneideman asked how dog owners would be notified of the change to Michigan Humane Society in Westland.

Clerk Bennett explained a notice will be included in the 2015 Dog License Renewal letters, an article will be in the FOCUS, and a notice posted on the Canton Website.

This includes 107 lots ranging in width from 55 feet to 75 feet, and includes several park areas. The preliminary site has 4 phases (Phases 3 through 6 of the PDD) as shown on the plans. The first phase (Phase 3) includes all of the lots along the north side of West Point Way, the entrance to Ridge Road, and the storm water pond area.

There is a 7 acre parcel located to the east of this area. Provisions have been made to connect Eisenhower Street to the west in the event rights can be obtained to do that in the future. This 7 acre parcel was originally part of the Hamlet PDD, but was included in a consent judgment which transferred ownership of the parcel to Canton Township.

Several changes are needed to the landscape plan, including an enlarged detail for the Ridge Road entrance and some adjustment to street tree and street light location for the park south of Eisenhower Street. These adjustments can be made at the Final Site Plan stage.

The site plan request is consistent with provisions of the River Hill Ridge Planned Development Agreement.

Item G-7. Consider Award of a Contract to Security MicroImaging for Implementation of a Document Content Management System in Public Works. (MSD)

Motion by Bennett, supported by Sneideman to authorize the Township Supervisor to sign the contract with Security MicroImaging Corporation for the implementation of a Document Content Management System in 2015 for a cost not-to-exceed $59,679 including the contingency. Motion carried unanimously.

A document content management system has been desired by the Municipal Services Department staff for several years to help effectively manage the hundreds of thousands of complex documents associated with the developments in our community. In 2014 through 2017 budgetary appropriations are planned for such an implementation through a phased approach. The first phase is to acquire the software, integrate the software with existing computer applications and design the system workflow to begin storing the documents electronically. This first phase will concentrate on the Public Works Division operation and primarily the water & sewer utility records. It will serve as a pilot for implementation department-wide and eventually township-wide in the future.

On July 10, 2014 the Township received proposals from six (6) vendors for a document content management system pilot project in the Public Works Division. The vendor with the lowest cost proposal was the Security MicroImaging Corporation (SMC) of Milwaukee. SMC is proposing we implement the Onbase software and integrate it with our existing ESRI GIS software and Aztecca Cityworks software. Staff from ITS and Public Works have been working on the details of the proposed implementation since August and recommend SMC be awarded the project. The references provided have been checked and were very satisfactory.

The negotiated cost of the first phase of the project is $56,837.88 which includes the software, 40 hours of implementation services and training for two system administrators. A five percent contingency is proposed to cover any unanticipated expenses which would bring the total cost for the first phase to $59,679. The next system administrator training course is in early January 2015, after which the vendor will come on-site and install the system starting January 20, 2015. In order to meet this schedule, Board approval of the contract is necessary in December 2014. Payment of the expenses will be made as a first charge to the 2015 water and sewer budget.

Director Faas explained this system is to support our GIS, CityView, and CityWorks. This system would electronically store the documents associated with the developments in our community. This is the first phase of the project. In order to meet the implementation schedule, Board approval of the contract is necessary in December 2014.

Clerk Bennett asked where the data would be stored.

Director Faas explained IT feels one of the existing servers has the capacity for the initial stages of the program.

Clerk Bennett asked if the current staff will be handling the scanning of the documents.

December 9, 2014 41

Director Faas replied seasonal staff would be utilized for scanning.

Trustee Williams commented he feels integrating all of our systems together will be a much bigger expense in the future. He asked if this is a custom program for Canton.

Director Faas replied no, this is not customized for Canton only. This document content management system is used nationwide. This vendor has done over 100 on-base implementations as well as 17 integrations with CityWorks. They are capable of integrating with Planning, Assessing, Human Resources, etc. We are just utilizing the CityWorks integration at this time.

Treasurer McLaughlin stated this is the first step in an entire township documentation integration system. Each time the township chooses to add additional departments, there would be additional costs.

Director Faas agreed stating the Public Works portion probably has the highest volume of complex documents. The next step will be to work with our IT department to develop a strategy for the future.

Treasurer McLaughlin stated the state retention schedule also comes into play. The actual task of Paper Management is a horrendous job. The Treasurer’s office alone must maintain tons of documents.

Trustee Sneideman asked if this application would require additional hardware.

Director Faas stated the server has sufficient capacity.

Trustee Sneideman asked if there would be back-up capability.

Director Faas replied yes.

Trustee Sneideman asked if this application would allow for online approvals.

Director Faas replied not at this time. He feels there is too much detail on a print to review on a small screen at this time.

December 9, 2014 42 Security MicroImaging Professional Services Agreement

This Professional Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between Security MicroImaging Corporation (“SMC”) with offices located at 1515 North RiverCenter Drive, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53212 and the Customer identified below (“Customer”) as of the date this Agreement is signed by Customer. This Agreement establishes an open account for services performed by SMC for Customer from time to time which are not covered under a separate agreement.

1. Professional Services

SMC will provide services to Customer for the purpose of developing, implementing and supporting an Enterprise Content Management system (ECM) or other information management systems (the “System”). SMC’s services may include but are not limited to business process analysis, gathering and documenting business requirements or objectives, development of technical specifications, integrating the System into Customer’s business, and as described in SMC’s Software Support User Guide, supporting the System after it is fully operational (“Professional Services”). See Software Support User Guide for a description of support services.

2. Statement of Services and Change Requests

SMC may require execution of a Statement of Services (“SOS”) for certain project work. The SOS may contain or incorporate by reference the following information, as applicable: (1) a general description of Professional Services to be provided, (2) location of where the Professional Services are to be performed, (3) fees for Professional Services, (4) the projected commencement and termination dates applicable to such SOS, (5) any special provisions, (6) a list of project deliverables, (7) and any other necessary terms or information.

In the event that additional Professional Services are recommended by SMC or requested by Customer that are outside the scope of a given SOS, a Change Request (“CR”) may be generated by SMC. The CR will contain details of the changes to the applicable SOS. The SOS and CR are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Any delay by Customer in executing an SOS or CR, completing a task or providing requested information will impact a project schedule. In such an event, SMC may temporarily reallocate assigned resources to other projects and work with Customer to reset the project schedule.

3. Fees for Professional Services

Fees for Professional Services will be based on the time spent on Customer’s project multiplied by the hourly rate associated with the service performed. Such fees will include but not limited to time spent at SMC’s offices providing various project management tasks, configuration, testing, training, and other related services. These services may be termed Professional Services or Service Calls. SMC will invoice Customer based upon its then applicable rate schedule (“Service Rate Schedule”). These rates are subject to change during the course of this Agreement by the publication by SMC of a new Service Rate Schedule.

4. Estimates

SMC is often requested to provide Professional Service estimates prior to or during the course of a project. In many cases, it is difficult to provide meaningful estimates except for the most common or routine tasks. Accordingly, while SMC may on occasion render oral or written estimates, these estimates should be viewed solely as estimates and shall be subject to adjustment as the facts and circumstances of a given project change. Professional Service estimates do not include travel time to Customer site which are invoiced according to the then current Service Rate Schedule.

5. Expenses

Expenses and costs, which may be advanced by SMC in its sole discretion, incurred in connection with the performance of services for Customer, shall be invoiced as incurred and are payable within thirty (30) days of invoice date. Expenses include but are not limited to travel, lodging, meals, or third party services that SMC may utilize in the course of implementing the System.

6. Payment

Amounts due under this Agreement shall be payable within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice, regardless of the length of a project or completion date. Professional Services performed under this Agreement will be logged and invoiced approximately once every two weeks. Professional Service logs and invoices will be considered accurate and complete unless disputed in writing within fifteen (15) days of invoice date. If any undisputed SMC invoice, including invoices for other services or product, is unpaid and past due, SMC may cease performing services until suitable arrangements are made for payment. SMC may, at its option, require payment in advance of delivery for any product or service.

Security MicroImaging, 09/01/2011 1 7. Third Party Product

SMC may license to Customer and/or provide Professional Services for software developed by third party software developers (“Third Party Software”). Use of all Third Party Software and its related documentation will be governed by the terms and conditions of the license agreement for such software, including any “shrink-wrap”, logon, signed, or other form of license agreement accompanying such software, whether in printed, electronic, or other format. At Customer’s request, SMC may provide Software Assurance for the Third Party Software purchased by Customer. Software Assurance shall be separately invoiced and provided pursuant to SMC’s Software Support User Guide.

SMC may sell Customer hardware provided by third party manufacturers (“Third Party Hardware”). Use of all Third Party Hardware and its related documentation will be governed by the terms and conditions as provided by the Third Party Hardware manufacturer. At Customer’s request, SMC may provide maintenance for the Third Party Hardware purchased by Customer. Hardware maintenance shall be separately invoiced and provided pursuant to SMC’s Hardware Maintenance Agreement or third party manufacturer’s agreement as applicable.

8. Customer Responsibilities

Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for the selection, operation, supervision, management and control of any software and associated equipment, including but not limited to providing training for its personnel, instituting appropriate security procedures, establishing and testing disaster recovery procedures or any necessary procedure to recover the System or systems due to any cause of failure, implementing procedures to examine and verify for completeness and accuracy all data and output before use, and providing written notice to SMC of any material changes made to the System or systems by Customer. Furthermore, Customer is solely responsible for the data and the database and is responsible for maintaining tested backups of the data and database to prevent data loss due to any cause. Customer acknowledges and agrees that SMC requires on-line or remote access to Customer’s systems in order for SMC to provide Third Party Software support. Accordingly, Customer is required, at its sole cost and expense, to provide appropriate communication software as specified by SMC and is responsible for establishing an adequate or dedicated connection with SMC. Customer agrees that if access to Customer’s systems requires a separate agreement, such agreement is subject to the limits of liability of this Agreement. Customer agrees it will not alter, revise, change, enhance or modify Third Party Software except as authorized by licensor or SMC. Customer shall provide SMC with all necessary access to property and equipment necessary to perform its Professional Services under this Agreement. Customer will assign a qualified representative to act as the primary contact with SMC. The primary contact shall be familiar with all ideas, goals, desires, projects, procedures, rules, requirements, and guidelines related to services or products provided by SMC. The primary contact shall facilitate the performance of Professional Services hereunder.

9. SMC Ownership of Design Services

During the course of the performance of this Agreement, SMC may develop system concepts, designs, information handling procedures and computer software or documentation (collectively “Design Services”). In addition, SMC may, at its option, incorporate concepts, know-how, ideas, techniques, wording, modules, and subroutines previously developed by SMC on prior projects or otherwise (“Previously Developed Software”). In such case and subject to Customer’s payment in full for the services, SMC hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use such Design Services and Previously Developed Software as part of the computer software and documentation delivered by SMC as part of its services. Such license includes Design Services and Previously Developed Software as provided to Customer and does not include any agreement or understanding, except to allow Customer, to modify or upgrade such products. Except as may otherwise be specifically authorized by SMC in writing, Customer (a) may only use the Design Services and Previously Developed Software in its internal business operations, (b) may not allow any third party to use any of the Design Services or Previously Developed Software, and (c) may not modify, reverse engineer, or copy any of the Previously Developed Software, except as otherwise permitted by applicable copyright law. License of the Design Services and Previously Developed Software may be terminated by SMC in the event of a breach of any obligations under this Agreement.

Any Design Services, including computer software and documentation developed as part of SMC’s services will be based on the experience, know-how, knowledge, and prior projects completed by SMC. Similarly, Design Services, including computer software and documentation developed by SMC for future projects, whether for Customer or other SMC customers, will be based on the same factors, including the experience, know-how, and knowledge gained by SMC in performing services for Customer but excluding confidential business information. Accordingly, SMC shall retain a non- exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, sublicense, and otherwise exploit the general concepts, know- how, ideas, techniques, wording, modules, and subroutines developed by SMC as part of its services; provided that in no event may SMC utilize any of Customer’s confidential business information except in the performance of such services. Customer agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall give Customer any right, title or interest in the Design Services or Previously Developed Software other than the right to use the Design Services or Previously Developed Software in accordance with this Agreement. Customer further agrees that SMC retains all right, title and interest in the Design Services and Previously Developed Software and may reuse, modify, develop, license or sell such Design Services and Previously Developed Software in other applications as it deems appropriate. Except as specifically limited hereby, SMC shall not be restricted from the continuing process of improving on past work.

10. Limited Warranty and Disclaimer

Security MicroImaging, 09/01/2011 2

SMC warrants to Customer that the Professional Services provided under this Agreement shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and according to industry standards. This warranty shall be effective for a period of thirty (30) days following the completion of the Professional Services in question (“Warranty Period”). Customer must notify SMC in writing during the Warranty Period if Customer believes any Professional Services do not conform to this warranty. If, after such timely notice from Customer, the Professional Services are determined not to conform to this warranty, SMC’s sole obligation, and Customer’s sole remedy, shall be for SMC to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to correct any nonconformity. If SMC is unable to correct any such nonconformity after a reasonable period of time, Customer’s sole and entire remedy is termination of the SOS that gave rise to the nonconformity in exchange for a refund of the amount paid by Customer to SMC for the portion of the nonconforming Professional Services that SMC is unable to correct. This warranty specifically excludes non-performance issues caused as a result of a hardware or firmware malfunction or defect, software not developed by SMC, incorrect data or incorrect procedures used or provided by Customer or a third party, failure of Customer to perform and fulfill its obligations in connection with the project covered by the SOS, or defects that are outside the reasonable control of SMC. Customer agrees to reimburse SMC for time and materials for any Professional Services provided by SMC at Customer’s request to remedy excluded nonperformance problems.

Except as expressly set forth in the preceding paragraph, SMC makes no warranty or representation regarding Design Services, Previously Developed Software, or Professional Services provided under this Agreement. SMC disclaims and excludes any and all other express, implied and statutory warranties, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and warranties that may arise or be deemed to arise from any course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade. SMC does not warrant that any Design Services, Previously Developed Software, or Professional Services will satisfy Customer’s requirements or are without defect or error, or that the operation of any software provided under this Agreement will be uninterrupted.

11. Limitation of Liability

If SMC has been engaged by Customer to install, configure, maintain or upgrade Third Party Software and Third Party Hardware (“Third Party Product”), Customer acknowledges that SMC is not the author, developer, or manufacturer of such Third Party Product, but instead has been retained by Customer solely to install, configure, maintain or upgrade such Third Party Product in Customer’s current computing environment. As such, Customer agrees that:

a) All Third Party Software, and any right to return for refund, is covered by limited warranties as set forth in the license agreement for such software. All rights and remedies for any errors or defects in any Third Party Software, including the right to recover losses or damages suffered as a result thereof, will be subject to any limitations set forth in the license agreement for such software. Claims directly or indirectly arising from errors, defects, or copyright infringement in Third Party Software may only be brought against the third party licensor of that software pursuant to the terms of its license and may not be brought against SMC;

b) All Third Party Hardware, and any right to return for refund, is subject to warranties and limitations of liability, if any, provided by the third party manufacturer. All rights and remedies for any errors or defects in any Third Party Hardware, including the right to recover losses or damages suffered as a result thereof, will be subject to any limitations set forth in the third party manufacturer’s warranty or limitation of liability, if any. Claims directly or indirectly arising from errors, defects, copyright or patent infringement in Third Party Hardware may only be brought against the third party manufacturer of that hardware pursuant to any warranties or limitations of liability provided and may not be brought against SMC.

In no event shall SMC’s liability for loss or damage arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the performance or non-performance of Professional Services or the use or inability to use Design Services, Previously Developed Software, or Third Party Product, exceed the amount of fees paid to SMC by Customer for the SOS which gave rise to such liability except claims for injury to persons or damage to tangible property caused in total or in part by the negligence of SMC or by persons under its direction or control for which such damages are limited to claims payable pursuant to SMC’s liability insurance.

In no event will SMC be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of data or information, the cost of recovering such data or information, or the cost of substitute services, products or facilities, even if SMC has been advised of the possibilities of such damages.

Security MicroImaging, 09/01/2011 3 12. Insurance

From time to time, either party including an affiliate (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), whether orally or in physical form, confidential or proprietary information concerning the disclosing party and/or its business, vendors, products or services in connection with this Agreement (together, “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information of either party includes, without limitation, systems architecture, policies and procedures, customer, employee, vendor information (including agreements, software and products), product plans and designs, agreements, and any other information which is normally and reasonably considered confidential. Each party agrees that during the term of this Agreement and thereafter: (i) it will use Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party solely for the purpose(s) of this Agreement; and (ii) it will take all reasonable precautions to ensure that it does not disclose Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party to any third party (other than the Receiving Party’s employees and/or professional advisors on a need-to-know basis who are bound by obligations of nondisclosure and limited use at least as stringent as those contained herein) without first obtaining the Disclosing Party’s written consent. Upon request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will return, within 14 days, all copies of any Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party.

Item G-8. Consider Award of a Contract with Selectron Technologies for the Implementation of an Integrated Voice Response System. (MSD)

Motion by Bennett, supported by Sneideman to authorize the Township Supervisor to sign the letter of understanding with Selectron Technologies Incorporated for the implementation of an Integrated Voice Response System in 2015 for a cost not-to-exceed $53,400.Motion carried unanimously.

On September 9, 2014 the Board approved a budget amendment to provide funds for the implementation of the residential rental inspection program. Included in the budget amendment was an amount of $80,900 for computers and equipment. To date $5,077 has been expended for the new rental inspector’s computers and software. The $75,823 balance is intended to cover expenses associated with the implementation of an Integrated Voice Response (IVR) system.

This system will electronically manage inspections over the phone without the need to talk with an office staff person. The user will enter the permit number in order to access inspection results, post inspection results, view any fees owed, receive messages, schedule & cancel inspections. It will also integrate with the existing CityView software which manages all project plan reviews, approvals, permits and inspections for the Municipal Services Department. Users can also utilize the on-line portal to requests inspections. CityView will be utilized to notify the permit holder of the inspection results via e-mail. As such, any proposed IVR system will need to integrate seamlessly with CityView.

Staff from ITS and Municipal Services have been working with the developers of the CityView software to determine the most effective means of implementing the IVR system. The Selectron IVR system has been successfully integrated with CityView in a few other communities. The other vendor's system has not been integrated with CityView to date. Staff feels confident that the Selectron IVR system is best suited for the needs of the Township.

Based on the negotiations with Selectron Technologies, the total cost of the system will be $53,400. Some additional costs for phone system modifications, hardware and CityView integration will also be incurred; however, these costs do not meet the minimum requiring Board approval. The total project can be implemented for something less than the $75,823 that remains in the 2014 budget.

Due to a large backlog of scheduled implementations, it is desirable for the Township to execute a letter of understanding to enter into the contract now with Selectron Technologies to ensure implementation is completed as early as practicable in 2015. Payment of the expenses will be made from the 2015 Budget.

Director Faas stated this system would be able to work with our CityView inspection module enabling the caller to schedule their own inspection. This system would automatically create an inspectors schedule. Inspectors would be able to enter inspection results in the field. The initial caller would then be able to retrieve their inspection results without involving a staff member. This system is the least costly system. Other communities have utilized this system with great success.

Item G-9. Consider Approval of Purchase of Avid Digital Editing Systems for Cable Studio. (CLS)

Motion by Bennett, supported by Williams to authorize the purchase of four Avid Digital Editing Systems from AVI Systems, 27280 Haggerty Road, Suite C2, Farmington Hills, Michigan in the amount of $40,000.90 to be taken from Account #230-250.97_0010. Motion carried unanimously.

The cable studio currently uses four Avid editing systems for the editing of all video filmed for Canton Community Television. In addition, the editors are used to enhance security camera footage utilized by Public Safety to help identify criminal suspects.

Five years is the average lifespan of a digital editor. The digital editors, purchased between 2001 and 2009, are experiencing age related problems including: file corruption, inability to install software updates and frequent crashes. Replacing the Avid editors would:

• help to improve editor work flow • allow for software upgrades on each Avid editor workstation • enable all Avid editor workstations to convert footage to a digital format usable on the web • enable the utilization of ClearID software (enhancement of security camera footage) on all editor workstations

Bids were solicited with AVI Systems providing the sole bid at $40,900.90 total for equipment and freight. AVI Systems was the only bidder due to limited authorized dealers of the Avid Digital Editing system. The Avid Editors would be purchased using funds provided by Comcast for capital purchases.

Item G-10. Consider Approval of Purchase of Audiovisual Equipment Upgrade for the Township Board Room for 2015. (CLS)

Motion by Bennett, supported by Sneideman to authorize the purchase of a portable audio system from Provideo, 26471 Southpoint Rd, Perrysburg, OH 43551 in the amount of $106,930 to be taken from Account #230-250.970_0010. Motion carried unanimously.

Motion by Bennett, supported by Williams to approve the following budget amendment: Decrease Expenditures: Transfer to Fund Balance 250-250.990_0000 $155,545 Increase Expenditures: Capital Outlay Computers 230-250.970_0010 $168,043 Increase Revenue: Fund Balance Appropriation 230-000.695 $12,498. Motion carried unanimously.

The current audio visual equipment for the Township Board Room was purchased in 2002 during the Administration Building expansion and has well exceeded its life expectancy of seven years. The recommended upgrades to the system will have HD cameras, improved microphones, larger displays and allow for wireless presentations to be given from anywhere in the room. These upgrades will also replace the entire infrastructure from the Board Room to the Cable Studio.

December 9, 2014 50

This system upgrade will allow for improved versatility and compatibility in the Board Room for any presentation, televised or otherwise.

Bids were solicited; two bids were received with Provideo providing the lowest bid at $106,930. The audiovisual equipment upgrade would be purchased using funds provided by Comcast for capital purchases. These purchases will be made in early 2015.

Trustee Yack voiced his support of updating our equipment.

Item G-11. Consider Approval of Emergency Purchase Order for Replacement of Summit Rooftop Unit (RTU). (CLS)

Motion by Bennett, supported by Sneideman to approve the purchase order to Building Automated Systems and Services, 6260 18-1/2 Mile Road, Sterling Heights, Michigan 48314 for emergency removal and replacement of mechanical rooftop unit #8 at the Summit on the Park in the amount of $25,627.

Motion by Bennett, supported by McLaughlin to approve the following budget amendment: Decrease Transfer to Fund Balance: 246-441.990 (Fund Balance) $25,627 Increase Expense: 246-750.970_0020 $25,627 (Capital Outlay Community Bldg. and Improvements) Motion carried unanimously.

We have experienced numerous problems with Rooftop Unit #8 at the Summit, which services the Maple Room. This unit failed again on 11/28/14 and is no longer operational. RTU #8 is original to the building and has exceeded its life expectancy.

Staff worked with Building Automated Systems and Services (BASS) to evaluate all potential solutions. The RTU can be repaired at an estimated cost of $15,000, but there are no guarantees that other parts may break down and the unit will fail again. The recommended solution is for removal and replacement of the rooftop unit #8 at a cost of $25,627.

Due to winter weather conditions and because unit will take multiple weeks to arrive, we have made an emergency purchase which requires formal Board approval.

Trustee Yack asked if any of the RTU’s were included in the Energy Program.

Director Bilbrey-Honsowetz replied yes, the Aquatic Center and one unit near the fitness center. These were selected based on the energy savings pay-back and how likely the units were to fail. The Aquatic Centers previous RTU was a very complicated unit and its failure would cause closure of the center if it failed.

Item G-12. 2014 Budget Adjustments. (FBD)

Motion by Bennett, supported by Sneideman to approve the following listing of budget adjustments to the 2014 budget. Motion carried unanimously.

December 9, 2014 51

State law mandates that Municipalities adopt an annual budget and that the fiscal year-end expenses do not exceed that budget as amended. The adopted budget is a working document and as unexpected events occur during the year, adjustments are required to\ meet the States mandate at year-end.

The Township adopted the 2014 budget at the November 12, 2013, Board Meeting and has made various amendments to it since then.

At this time, I am asking the Board of Trustees to approve the attached budget adjustments to the 2014 budget year. A description of the budget adjustments is explained on the attachments.
