Financial Performance
Review of Top Five Revenues – November reflects the first four month’s collections of the new fiscal year as there is typically a 30-day delay in remittances. Sales taxes include advances through September less the net quarterly East Bay Bridge sales taxes of $230k per the agreement with the City of Oakland, resulting in an overall increase of 3% over prior year. The majority of the Business License tax revenue is collected with the annual renewals due March 1, 2016. However, there are quarterly renewals and new businesses that are processed throughout the year. Business License collections for the first five months of the year of $281k are $121k greater than prior year. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collections of $2.6M through November show TOT has increased $263k or 11.5% over last year’s total. Utility Users Tax of $993k increased 8% over prior year. Card Room Tax revenue of $832k for the first four months has increased 5% over the prior year total of $792k.

2. Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) Scanning and Migration:
Project Goal: To create an electronic repository for official City documents that will allow for fast, robust searches, will minimize impact on staff’s workload, and can be integrated with the City’s website for public access.
Updated Goal: The existing EDMS vendor has discontinued support of the current SIRE software package. The City has selected a new EDMS vendor and an implementation and migration of existing data will kick off in August.
IT’s Role: IT has assumed the internal project manager role for the EDMS project which includes scanning, uploading, and indexing all historical city resolutions, ordinances, meeting minutes and agendas as available. IT is managing the vendor contract and overseeing the physical transportation of files.
Project Status: Integration work between the Laserfiche and Granicus systems began in April. A workflow was diagramed to detail the life-cycle of official city documents and how they move throughout the various applications in the City. Next, the workflow will be programmed into the Laserfiche system and tested. The vendor continued workflow programming in May and returned drafts to the City in June. This project has been placed on hold.

New California Energy Commission Plumbing Fixture Flow Rates. Due to the severity of California's drought, the state's experts have been managing water resources to deal with the effects of the drought and prepare for the next one.

The requirements for maximum flow rates for any newly installed fixtures as of January 1, 2016 are as follows: . Urinals reduced from 0.5 gallons per minute (gpm) to 0.125 gpm. Note: The use of hybrid urinals is being considered for the 2016 CalGreen Code. . Residential faucets reduced from 2.2 gpm to 1.2 gpm. Note: The CEC is considering requiring 1.5 gpm and extending the requirement for 1.2 gpm to September 2016. .

3. Operations and Facilities Highlights:
‐ ‐ Storm Season/ El Nino Preparedness: Public Works staff continues to prepare for the rainy season and forecasted El Nino by taking several proactive measures that include: o Filling and staging an additional 5,000 sand bags to supplement the 2,500 sandbags that were filled last month. o Monitoring the storm water pump on Powell Street. o Removing leaves in gutters and catch basins throughout the City. o Removing dead trees and hazardous tree limbs. o Coordinating resources with the County and neighboring agencies.
‐ Leaves!: Staff has been aggressively removing leaves throughout the City. Leaf drop contributes to storm drain system blockages which can result in localized flooding. Additionally, removing the leaves from the streets and gutters prevents them from washing into the Bay. This time of year, the leaf drop is particularly voluminous and proves to be challenging with recent rain events.
‐ Point Emery Clean Up: Staff completed a small project to give Point Emery some extra attention and improve the site for beauty and safety. Staff cleaned trash and debris from the site. Bushes and trees were trimmed. The site was weeded. Bollards were painted and had reflective tape added to enhance the area safety.
‐ 36th Street Sweeping Signs: Staff installed ‘No Parking’ signs along both sides of 36th Street for the expanded street sweeping that is scheduled to start in December. The residential street sweeping was approved by Council after the issue was raised by a resident on 36th who requested that the area receive additional sweeping due to recurring trash issues.
‐ Public Works Helps Police: PW staff dismantled a large storage container and cleaned an area behind the Police Department at their request. The project took staff several days to remove all the debris and haul it away for disposal. PW staff also took all spare tires for the Police vehicles to the Maintenance Center (MC) and assembled a tire rack for storage of the tires. Many items from the PD were also taken to the MC for storage.
‐ Bicycle Repair Stations: Staff repaired several bike fix-it stations as many of the tools had been broken or vandalized. The stations are subject to chronic tool tampering. The pumps in particular are difficult to keep in working order.
‐ Stanford Park: Staff has been doing some projects at Stanford Park to update and improve the park. Park improvements include: o Installation of several Dogipot dispensers. o Spreading of wood chips from tree work throughout the City. o Substantial weeding and trimming of shrubs and plants. o Irrigation repairs.
‐ Powell Street Medians: Staff continued with a project to remove weeds and install weed root barriers in the medians on the Powell Street peninsula. The medians recently had plants installed, but there was no weed suppression installed. The weed barrier will reduce maintenance and keep the medians aesthetically pleasing.
‐ Art Wall: Staff moved several large panels that make up an Art Wall for the Artist Coop. The Art Wall is very large and is stored at the City’s Maintenance Center. Every year, the Artist Coop has an art event that requires City staff to load and transport the Art Wall to the gallery facility. Staff also assists the event by providing barricades and signage for the event.
‐ Capital Improvement Project Support: The Senior Center project continues and is on target to be completed in March. Staff also assisted with Joseph Emery Skate Spot; Hollis Paving Project; Sidewalk Repair Project.
‐ SeeClickFix (SCF): PW staff continues to coordinate the SCF system. The City continues to respond to issues and monitor activity on the site.
‐ Training: PW crews participated in the following trainings: o APWA Conference in Richmond. o Forklift Safety- all staff was certified.
‐ General maintenance and service request duties were also performed during the month.
