This is the last remaining item before the job can be accepted. Once accepted by Council, we will begin the retention period and then close out the project with Caltrans

4. Walnut Hartley Street Signal & The Notice to Proceed has been issued and the contractor has begun to procure their materials.

Review the ordinance language, open a public hearing, consider the issues, and motion to approve the firstreading and introduction of Ordinance No. 764 - Animals in Residential Areas and Chickens Ordinance.

BACKGROUND

At the October 15, 2013 City Council meeting, the Council approved a revision to the City's Code Title 7 entitled "Animals". This revision was provided as the County Animal Services Agency Model Ordinance to reflectcurrent procedures and relationships dealing with Animal Services. The revision replaced the previous Title 7 in its entirety. Upon review, the approved revisions resulted in the loss of two ordinance sections of interest.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The County's model code does not differentiate between the types of animals appropriate to rural versus city conditions. The previous Municipal Code section included a section entitled "Animals in Residential Areas" which outlined the number and type of pets appropriate to city dwelling. This section is significant because certain animals and large numbers of animals in residential areas can pose a nuisance to the health and safety of area residents. The proposed ordinance would reintroduce this section to the Municipal Code as 7.58 "Animals in Residential Areas" On September 17th, 2013, the City Council approved the ordinance entitled "Chickens" allowing residents who meet certain requirements to raise chickens within the City limits. The proposed ordinance would reintroduce this section to the Municipal Code as 7.60 "Chickens"

City of Patterson CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor Molina and Members of the City Council

FROM: Rod B. Butler, City Manager

BY: Douglas L. White, Deputy City Attorney

MEETING DATE: February 18, 2014

ITEM NO:

SUBJECT: Consider First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 748, Amending Title 18 of the Patterson Zoning Ordinance, Requiring Deposits to Fund City Costs for Processing Larger Development Projects.

Ordinance No. 748, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Patterson, Amending Section 18. 14.020 ofthe Zoning Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION

Motion to introduce fo r first reading Ordinance No. 748 (Option B), Amending Section 18.14.020 of Title 18 ofPatterson's Municipal Code (the "Zoning Ordinance")

BACKGROUND

The City of Patterson (the "City") requires thoughtful and orderly growth to ensure that public infrastructure meets the needs of developers seeking to invest in the City's future. New development requires City oversight and advanced planning to ensure that proposed projects align with the City's infrastructure requirements, and the City's goals and vision for the future.

The review of large development proj ects requires significant time and resources by City staff, third party engineers, consultants and legal counsel to ensure that these projects and any related infrastructure requirements are constructed according to proper engineering, environmental and legal standards. Rather than requiring the City and its taxpayers to bear the cost of new development, it is appropriate that developers pay their fair share of costs fo r the City to review larger development projects, including project impacts and related infrastructure requirements.

Page 1 of4 City staff have proposed amendments to Section 18.14.020 of the Zoning Ordinance, authorizing the City Council to establish deposit requirement fo r development applications. On November and December 5, 2013, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment and provided recommendations. On December 11, 2013, the City met with members of the development community to obtain additional comments and recommendations for the proposed ordinance amendment. In response to the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the development community, City staff proposed two ordinances fo r the City Council's consideration.

Option A Option A would amend Section 18. 14.020 to require developers to place a deposit with the City to cover processing costs actually incurred by the City during the review of development applications, where the proposed project is greater than fifty thousand (50,000) square fe et in floorarea or twenty (20) acres in gross parcel area.

Option B Option B would amend Section 18.14.020 to require developers to place a deposit with the City to cover processing costs actually incurred by the City during the review of any development applications that require the City to expend significant resources on infrastructure analysis, environmental review, fiscal impact studies and other processing costs. Option B does not include a minimum project threshold of fifty thousand (50,000) gross square fe et or twenty (20) acres in gross parcel area.

Both of the proposed ordinances would require that the project applicant maintain a minimum balance of at least forty percent ( 40%) of the initial deposit at all times during the City's review and processing of the development application. If the deposit balance drops to below 40% of the initial deposit, the City Manager or Planning Director will suspend processing the application. This requirement may be waived by the Planning Director or City Manager if they determine that less than 40% of the initial deposit is required to conclude the City's review and processing of the development application. At the discretion of the city manager or planning director, a deposit may be required for modifications to existing entitlements. The ordinances also authorize the City Council, by resolution, to waive or modify the deposit requirements fo r a development application. In addition, the City may require additional contributions to the initial deposit in order to continue processing the application.

Deposits shall be subject to monthly accounting by the City. Any remaining or unused portion of a deposit shall be returned to the applicant upon request of the applicant, if no public hearings are scheduled fo r the application. If a developer requests a refund and public hearings are scheduled, the City may withdraw the item fo r public consideration and City approval prior to issuing the refund.

ANALYSIS

State law provides that planning fees must bear a reasonable relationship to the actual costs incurred by the City. Large development projects require significant City staff time and outside engineering, consultant and legal fe es. The actual scope of City costs fo r larger development projects, however, involves significant variables as to the overall processing costs, especially when fa ctoring the City's analysis of infrastructure requirements in connection with larger

Page 2 of4 development projects. For these reasons, City staff have proposed ordinances authorizing the City Council to implement a deposit-based fe e structure for larger projects, as opposed to charging a fixed fe e. A deposit-based fe e structure will ensure that application fe es maintain a reasonable relationship to the actual costs incurred by the City during its review of larger development projects.

Survey of Deposit Requirements City staff reviewed the deposit requirements of nearby jurisdictions, such as the cities of Tracy, San Jose and Sacramento, and other cities in Stanislaus County, to determine whether a deposit requirement would discourage development activity within Patterson. Other jurisdictions require deposits fo r a broad range of approvals.

Turlock Turlock requires a deposit fo r the review of development agreements ($11,650), environmental impact reports (17% of total EIR cost), general plan amendments ($ 1 0,000), planned developments (up to $11 ,000), and subdivision maps (up to $13,225). In some instances the deposit amounts are tiered. In the review of planned development applications, fo r example, Turlock charges $8,500 for review of projects less than 5 acres, and $11,000 fo r review of projects greater than 5 acres, in addition to numerous other deposit requirements.

In Turlock, a 5-acre project that involves a development agreement, mitigated negative declaration, rezoning and tentative map application would require an initial deposit greater than $35,000. Under the proposed Option A, review of the same entitlements in the City of Patterson would require no deposit. Under the proposed Option B, the City Manager or Planning Director would have discretion to require a deposit, with a maximum cap on the deposit balance of $50,000.

Tr acy Similar to Turlock, Tracy requires different deposit amounts fo r each entitlement application. In Tracy, an 18-acre proj ect involving a planned unit development ($8,280), tentative map ($1 6,500), zone change ($6,417) and CEQA analysis (unspecified) would require a deposit greater than $3 1 ,000, and would likely exceed $50,000 with CEQA review. Under proposed Option A, review of the same entitlement applications in Patterson would require no deposit. Under the proposed Option B, the City Manager or Planning Director would have discretion to require a deposit, with a maximum cap of $50,000 on the deposit balance.

Deposit Refund Both of the proposed ordinances include procedures fo r applicants to request a refund of any unused portions of the deposit, subject to forty five ( 45) days' notice and any scheduled public hearings. Notably, deposits required by other jurisdictions are non-refundable. Waterford is the only city in Stanislaus County to allow refunds of deposits. Sacramento, San Jose and Tracy also do not allow deposit refunds.

In conclusion, although a deposit requirement may increase costs for developing projects within the City, both of the proposed deposit ordinances remain significantly lower than neighboring cities. The exact cost of reviewing a particular project, however, would vary as the cost would be based on actual time spent processing the application.

Page 3 of 4 Planning Commission Recommendations In hearings before the Planning Commission, recommendations were made to increase the deposit threshold, to authorize the City Manager and City Council to waive or modify deposit requirements, and to require a deposit fo r modifications to existing projects and entitlements. City staff incorporated these recommendations into Option A.

In the alternative, City staff proposes Option B, which would authorize the City Manager or Planning Director to require a deposit fo r development projects of any size, so long as the proj ect is reasonably anticipated to require significant processing costs, technical evaluation, environmental review or other costs related to advance planning.

Developer Recommendations On December 11, 2013, the City met with the development community to gather additional recommendations to improve the development application process and to discuss the proposed planning fe e ordinance amendment. As a result, staff amended both proposed ordinances to authorize the City Manager or Planning Director to determine a reasonable deposit balance during the City's initial review of a development application. Under both ordinances, the applicant will be afforded an opportunity to meet with the City to discuss the deposit during the pre-application period. If a deposit is required, the development application will not be deemed complete until the applicant provides the initial deposit amount.

FISCAL IMPACT

The proposed ordinances authorize the City to recover costs of City staff time and costs of outside consultant, engineers and legal services in reviewing development projects. Therefore, the City should realize an increase in revenue fr om these measures.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS

The City Council's options regarding Ordinance No. 748 include:

1. Motion to introduce Ordinance No. 748 (Option A or Option B) fo r a firstreading;

2. Continue introduction Ordinance No. 748 (Option A or Option B) fo r a first reading to the next regular City Council meeting with changes or revisions as provided by the City Council;

3. Rej ect the introduction of Ordinance No. 748 (Option A and Option B) fo r firstreading.

WHEREAS, the city council recognizes the important role of city staff, outside consultants, engineers and legal counsel in evaluating development applications to ensure that the city develops in a logical and orderly manner; and

WHEREAS, the city council finds that the burden of paying for advanced planning costs associated with new development should be paid by the developers proposing the projects; and

WHEREAS, the city council finds that establishing a deposit-based fee structure will ensure that application fe es maintain a reasonable relationship to the actual costs incurred by the City during its review of larger development projects.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PATTERSON, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, the city council recognizes the important role of city staff, outside consultants, engineers and legal counsel in evaluating development applications to ensure that the city develops in a logical and orderly manner; and

WHEREAS, the city council finds that the burden of paying fo r advanced planning costs associated with new development should be paid by the developers proposing the projects; and

WHEREAS, the city council finds that requiring developers to place a deposit as part of the application fee for larger developments will ensure that the city can cover its expenses related to its review of larger proj ects and any related infrastructure requirements; and

WHEREAS, the city council finds that requiring developers to pay their fair share of the cost of reviewing larger development projects will ensure that those projects are reviewed on a timely basis; and

WHEREAS, the city council finds that establishing a deposit-based fee structure will ensure that application fees maintain a reasonable relationship to the actual costs incurred by the City during its review of larger development projects.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PATTERSON, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 18. 14. 020 Application and Fee, of the Zoning Ordinance is hereby amended to include:

C) Deposit.

1) Deposit Requirements. In addition to application fees, a deposit may be required to cover processing costs incurred by the city in connection with the review of development applications and related city infrastructure requirements. 2) Initial Deposit. The city manager or planning director shall determine the deposit to be required during the city's initial review of the development application pursuant to Section 18.14.030. The deposit shall be based on the city's estimated processing costs, such as the level of environmental analysis likely to be required, preparation and review of a fiscal impact study, and analysis of any infrastructure requirements. If a deposit is required, the application shall not be deemed complete until the applicant provides the deposit, in cash or check, to the city. 3) Minimum Balance. A minimum balance of at least fo rty percent (40%) of the initial deposit amount must be maintained by the applicant at all times during the city's review and processing of the development application, unless waived by the planning director or city manager because they determine that less than fo rty percent ( 40%) of the initial deposit is required to finish the city's review and processing of the development application. The planning director or city manager will suspend processing the application, including cancellation of scheduled public hearings, if the minimum balance is not maintained. 4) Maximum Balance. The city council shall establish by resolution the maximum deposit balance allowed for all development applications. The maximum deposit balance may be tiered according to the scope, size, infrastructure requirements or other factors affecting the city's processing costs. 5) Administration. The city shall provide monthly notices of the deposit balance to applicants. Notices shall reflect the actual costs incurred by the city in processing the application. 6) Refund. The applicant may request a refund of the deposit balance at any time. The city shall return unused portions of the deposit within fo rty-five (45) days of the refund request. If public hearings are scheduled, any unused portion of the deposit shall be returned within fo rty-five (45) days after the city's review of the development application is complete or within fo rty-five (45) days of the final public hearing. 7) Existing Entitlements. At the discretion of the city manager or planning director, a deposit may be required fo r modifications to existing entitlements. 8) Waiver. The City Council, by resolution, may waive or modify deposit requirements.

This Ordinance shall be published by one insertion in The Patterson Irrigator, a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the City of Patterson, within fifteen ( 15) days after its final passage, and shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after its final passage.

Maricela L. Vela City Clerk of the City of Patterson CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor Molina and Members of the City Council

FROM: Rod B. Butler, City Manager

BY: Douglas L. White, Deputy City Attorney

MEETING DATE: February 18, 2014 ITEM NO: W ,'-=f b,

SUBJECT: Consider First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 749, Amending Title 18 of the Patterson Zoning Ordinance, defining "Processing Costs" in the City's Review of Development Applications.

Ordinance No. 749, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Patterson, Amending Section 18.14.020 ofthe Zoning Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION

Motion to introduce for firstreading Ordinance No. 749 (Option B), amending Section 18.14.020 ofTitle 18 ofPatterson's Municipal Code (the "Zoning Ordinance")

BACKGROUND

The City of Patterson (the "City") requires thoughtful and orderly growth to ensure that public infrastructure meets the needs of developers seeking to invest in the City's future. Processing of planned development applications requires significant time and resources by City staff, third party engineers, consultants and legal counsel to ensure that projects and related infrastructure requirements are constructed according to proper engineering, environmental and legal standards. Rather than requiring the City and its taxpayers to bear the cost of new development, it is appropriate that developers pay their fair share of the City's processing costs to review larger development projects, including project impacts and related infrastructure requirements.

City staff have proposed amendments to Section 18.14.020 of the Zoning Ordinance, authorizing the City Council to establish processing fees fo r development applications. On November and December 5, 2013, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment and provided recommendations. On December 11, 2013, the City met with members of the development community to obtain additional comments and recommendations fo r the proposed

Page 1 of4 ordinance amendment. In response to the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the development community, City staff proposed two ordinances fo r the City Council's consideration.

Option A Option A would amend Section 18.14.020, defining "processing costs" to include fe es and costs actually incurred by the city related to processing the application, including but not limited to outside consultant services, attorney fees and legal services, mailing and noticing costs, and filing fe es. Under Option A, processing costs do not include city staff time and benefits.

Option B Option B would amend Section 18.14.020, defining "processing costs" to include all fe es and costs incurred by the city related to processing the application, including city staff time and benefits, outside consultant services, attorney fe es and legal services, mailing and noticing costs, administrative overhead, and filingfe es.

ANALYSIS

State law provides that planning fees must bear a reasonable relationship to the actual costs incurred by the City. Large development projects require significant City staff time and outside engineering, consultant and legal fees. A deposit-based fee structure for processing costs will ensure that application fe es maintain a reasonable relationship to the actual costs incurred by the City during its review of larger development projects. The actual scope of City costs fo r larger development projects, however, involves significant variables as to the overall processing costs, especially when factoring the time and resources required of City staff in the analysis of infrastructure requirements in connection with larger development projects.

Survey of Processing Costs City staff reviewed the processing costs fo r the cities of Tracy, San Jose, Sacramento, and the costs fo r other cities in Stanislaus County, to identify the scope of processing costs charged by those jurisdictions, and to determine whether the proposed processing costs would discourage development activity within Patterson. In other cities, processing costs include expenses related to city staff time and benefits, and third party engineers, technical consultants and legal counsel. The listed rates fo r city staff time in other cities ranges fr om a minimum of $72 per hour (Waterfo rd) to $187 per hour (San Jose). In Patterson, current staff rates range between $41 per hour to $ 96 per hour and are thus significantly lower than the listed rates of neighboring cities.

Planning Commission and Developer Recommendations In hearings before the Planning Commission, comments were made that the City's recoverable processing costs should not cover staff time, as staff salaries and benefits are provided through the City's general fund. The same recommendation was made during the City's subsequent meeting with the development community. Staff incorporated these recommendations into Option A, which does not include City staff time as a recoverable processing cost.

Staff Recommendation City staff proposes Option B, which would include City staff time and benefits as a recoverable processing cost. Large development proj ects often require several years after processing of the application before contributing revenue to the City's general fund. In addition, under current staffing levels, the processing of larger development projects presents challenges for city staff to

Page 2 of 4 process larger projects whue performing their regular duties. Theretore, in order to increase staff levels in conjunction with the review of larger development projects, it is imperative that processing costs include City staff time. Moreover, the review of larger development projects by City staff often requires in-depth analysis of proj ect-related infrastructure requirements, which exceeds the regular job duties of City staff.

FISCAL IMPACT

Option A authorizes the City to recover processing costs for expenses incurred from third party consultants, engineers and legal services in reviewing development projects. Option B includes City staff time as a recoverable processing cost. Therefore, the City should realize an increase in revenue fr om these measures.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS

The City Council's options regarding Ordinance No. 749 include:

1. Motion to introduce Ordinance No. 749 (Option A or Option B) for a first reading;

2. Continue introduction of Ordinance No. 749 (Option A or Option B) for a first reading to the next regular City Council meeting with changes or revisions as provided by the City Council;

3. Reject the introduction of Ordinance No. 749 (Option A and Option B) fo r first reading.

SUBJECT: Award of Professional Services Contract in the Amount of $33,793 to Civic Plus (Icon Enterprises) fo r Web Redesign Services and Authorize Staff to Execute the Contract

RECOMMENDATION

Award of Professional Services Contract in the amount of $33,793 to Civic Plus (Icon Enterprises) fo r Web Redesign Services, approve the annual service fee of $3,927 for annual maintenance, approve an additional alternate to include 500 additional SMS users (to be used only if needed) and Authorize Staff to Execute the Contract.

BACKGROUND

Th is report was brought to Council on January 21, 2014 for approval. Va rious Council members requested additional information to help with their decision. The questions that were raised are: 1. What is the cost to add additional text message subscribers to the NotifYMe program. 2. Wi ll the City or the Ve ndor be hosting the website? (please see Analysis Section for answers to these questions) The City Website has been on line fo r many many years and can be located by visiting www.ci.patterson.ca.us . Although the website has done a good job in keeping up with the City's needs in the past, there has not been an update since 2002. The City is growing and is getting more technologically advanced, and in an effo rt to redesign the website to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), update the content management system (CMS) technology, improve content organization and visual design in order to make the website more user friendly fo r the public and efficient fo r City staff to manage, the website needs a major overhaul. The redesign will utilize information that already exists on the website as well as add new content and features as suggested by City Council, the public, staff and the selected consultant.

Although the information on the website is regularly updated by City staff, the website technology and design have not been updated since its creation in the year 2002 and have become obsolete. As the City grows and becomes more attractive to technology businesses such as Amazon.com and other businesses where their operations are based on the use of technology, the City must also continue to evolve and improve its technology and encourage interactions with all stakeholders in the community.

With this in mind, the City formed an IT workgroup represented by one staff member fr om each of the City departments including Fire, Engineering, Human Resources, Administration, Finance, Public Works and IT. For the past few months, this group has developed and completed the Request fo r Proposals (RFP) fo r web redesign services (see attached).

The "Invitation to Bidders" notice was advertised with a submittal deadline of August 22, 2013. The RFP was also sent out to a list of Qualified/Recommended Web Design Consultants. A total of six proposals were received from the fo llowing firms:

1. Never Boring Associates, Inc. - Stockton, CA 2. Aha Consulting - Lake Oswego, OR 3. CivicPlus - Manhattan, KS 4. Civica Software - Newport Beach, CA 5. Vision Internet - Santa Monica, CA 6. GovOfficeWeb Solutions - Saint Paul, MN

Once all proposals were obtained, the IT Workgroup met to review and score all the proposals. All the proposals were scored for the fo llowing criteria:

1. Functionality: Ability to meet the design and content management system requirements as specifiedin the RFP. 2. Company 's Qualifications: Based on company's profile including organizational size and structure, Project Manager/Other Key Members. In addition, Consultant's related experience in successful implementations of websites fo r local government agencies of comparable size was highly recommended. 3. Overall Cost: Based on total fe e to provide the services fo r the website redesign including content management software, implementation, installation, training, data migration, additional hardware, licensing, ongoing technical support and other miscellaneous costs. 4. Sy stem Infrastructure and Architecture: Based on database platform, hardware and network requirements of the solution, licensing structure of the product and how the content management system is designed. Consultant will be required to develop a comprehensive site map, which shows the strategy fo r information architecture decisions. 5. Responsiveness to Proposal: Based on the completeness of submitted documents and willingness to accept terms and conditions of the City's Professional Services Agreement. 6. Implementation: Based on the number of individuals assigned to the project, availability of proj ect team manager for discussions and meetings with City Staff during implementation, technical support services provided during product implementation, the implementation timeline, and how change orders are tracked during project implementation if warranted. 7. Training: Based on the availability and quality of training, user documentation and online assistance.

ANALYSIS At theJanuary 21, 2014 Council meeting, Council directed staffto look into the SMS messaging programming for Civic Plus. They were concerned the 500 users included would not be enough for the City. We spoke with Danny Elmore at Civic Plus to discuss this item. He let us know they have over 1500 municipal clients and this has been sufficient for 99% of them, even for Cities larger than Patterson. Civic Plus let us know the additional fee for another block of 500 messages would be $855 annually. Th is could be approved as an additive alternate if needed in the future. Council 's second question had to do with hosting the website. Th is was discussed with our IT vendor, Recovery Logic. Th ey let us know th at there are two major factors that would affect hosting the website. First, the band width available from the City 's current utility company is limited and would slow down internet response times significantly. To upgrade to a higher bandwidth would not be feasible at this time. Secondly, the storage needed to host a website is fairly large and would require a significant upgrade to the City 's server and network. We bsite vendors are setup to accommodate large websites. Th eir accommodations usually include numerous network servers and are typically located in areas where larger internet bandwidths are available. The top three consultants were selected to move on to the next phase of the selection process which would consist of a 20 minute presentation to the City Council, the Public and Staff:

Name of Firm City, ST Pro,gosal Amount Annual Service Add SMS Fee Amount 500 Users 1. CivicPlus Manhattan, KS $33,793 $3,927 $855 2. Civica Software Newport Beach, CA $54,530 $4,910 3. Vision Internet Santa Monica, CA $26,165 $6,600

The top three firms are highly qualified and have a long list of references for website design services they have provided to various states and out-of-state government/municipal agencies (see attached proposals). Presentations by these three firms were completed on November 12, 2013 via a Special Council Meeting.

Council was given approximately eight weeks of time to review each of the firms' work and submitted their comments to staff along with their top ranking firm. The next steps of the RFP process are to award a contract and begin working on the redesign of the City's website. The goal is to have the new website online by July 1, 2014.

Based on the fe edback received from the Council, public, City Staff, and the IT Workgroup, the recommendation to Council tonight is fo r a contract to be awarded to Civic Plus. Although all three firms are well qualified and have many years of experience in the redesign of websites, Civic Plus was able to provide the City with a proposal that included all the services identified in the Request fo r Proposals (RFP) as well as provided upgrades, maintenance, support and hosting in their total proposal. They also offer the ongoing Annual Service for the first year at no additional cost. Their annual service fe e after the 12 months was also less than the other two .

FISCAL IMPACT

Funds have been budgeted and approved fo r FY 2013/14 for the Website redesign. This contract, if approved, is $33,793, which is well below the approved budgeted amount. An on­ going annual service fe e of $3,927 will be budgeted afterthe first year. The first year is covered under the project budget. l.faddit ional SMS users are needed a change order in the amount of $855 could be included fo r an additional 500 SMS users. Th is is an annual service charge.

If the contract between your organization and CivicPius were to be canceled due to the wishes of the client, our Support Departmentwould work with you to transfer all associated data and software in order to make a smooth transition to the clienfs new hosting arrangement and, if necessary, management platform.

In the highly unlikely event that CivicPius were to cease supportfor the software due to bankruptcy, acquisition, a change in business operations or other circumstances, you would also receive full and complete control of all website data and software.

Building new pages and sections NavBuilder is a Web-based system included with the CMS that allows staff to create new pages and folders/sections within the site. Once new pages have been created, the system will create the page on the site, using either a simple HTML blank page or a predefined template-based page. (Currently there are 135 different templates with the system, with multiple variation options.) The system automatically populates the associated site indexes and metadata.

The navigation structure and all associated drop down menus are also created from with the NavBuilder system. This includes the ordering, layout, colors and styling of the menus. The system includes full rights control and has multiple configurations allowing advanced users expanded control of the site navigation system.

A dynamic, cascading Site Map is also included with the system and is automatically generated and updated as the site structure is modified.

Document security The Civica CMS system features a flexible, yet powerful, page and document security system. Tr1e system can be configured to password protect from a single page to the whole of the site if required. The system allows for multiple accounts, so that different areas of the site can be secured using different security credentials if required. Any data-sensitive areas of the site will be secured using this feature.

Interfacing with other systems Given the API specifics, Civica can develop the proper interface to allow the CMS to communicate with an external API. Included with the CMS is the ability to communicate with the most common API's - Facebook, Twitter, RSS, Flickr, etc.

The Civica CMS has NavBuilder and Modular tools, which can produce, site reports, which detail any broken or missing links. The CMS framework strictly adheres to ADA compliancy, with build-in features to accommodate screen readers, multiple screen sizes, cross-browser compatibility, and increased font sizes for the visually impaired.

The HTML Editor has a built-in smart spellchecker to prevent spelling errors.

Ernail management The Email Manager is a full-service mass email and text communication distribution solution. It enables communication with large lists (50,000+). as well as with individuals. CMS users can create newsletter or announcement emails using built-in templates or custom tools. Distribution lists are managed from within the module, with an opt-in feature for spam and blacklist compliancy.

Capable of handling an unlimited number of mailing lists, this module provides you with wide-ranging public communication opportunities to subscribers. Community members can then manage their subscription directly via a simple online management area on the Web site.

In addition to public communications, staff can configure private lists and send communication and update notices to a specialized list, such as the media, local agencies or other interested group. Civica has considerable experience with integrating this module with vendors that have the capability to send audio, to telephones, cell phones etc. from a single source.

Civica Software does not undertake a redesign of any of its client's Web sites without a comprehensive review of the existing site, a complete discussion of our findings as well as a wide-ranging discussion of your goals and objectives. Our t:Jxperience has shown that this preparatory work is essential for us to understand both your immediate and long term desires.

While many see local agencies as monolithic structures that all do the same thing, we have witnessed each Civica client offer unique issues and challenges which had to be understood before they could be resolved. Our track record speaks for itself. We are proud of the results we deliver, and have achieved a great level of success from knowing what, and with whom, you are seeking to communicate.

Web site design

Once the consultancy phase is completed, your new Web site will be completely redesigned, making it more graphically appealing, content rich, easy to navigate while clearly communicating the unique image of the Patterson. Just as important, the new Web site will be easy for staff to manage. Updating will be dispersed throughout as many employees as you wish, enabling each department to update its own portion of the site.

A unified theme will be apparent though all departments. The City's branding will be consistently displayed on every Web page, using non-flash friendly OHTMUjQuery elements where appropriate. Civica designers will interface closely with all departmental stakeholders throughout the entire design phase to ensure not only that the new strong graphical direction reflects your unique personality, but that it speaks directly to the various target audiences. All authorized stakeholders will be able to review every element of the site as it takes shape on a dedicated, password protected, Web server.

Web site training

Civica Software's CMS is designed so that no technical skills are required to manage content on the site. Training actually begins during the design phase as users become familiar with the system by having access to the above referenced development site. As the site is being completed, a full user training process occurs prior to "going live." Typically, users quickly gain full capability to post items to the site.

At the same time, a limited number of staff is given more extensive training to enable them to administer the site. Civica will supply you with tools and training to enable staff to re build and restructure the site without the need for a vendor interface. This will help then in order to adapt the site to changing technologies and other future needs. This training also includes the ability to completely add departments or pages, and to enable them to provide for future redesigning of the site, or any elements within it, should that be re quired.

and engineering Development

Civica brings a breadth of experience to our public sector Web site projects. Since users are not always aware of departmental structures, the site architecture will ensure that all information can be found quickly no matter how the user approaches it. We are expert at making all government services, programs and functions very quickly accessible through Civica's intuitive and powerful search engine, which is an integral feature in all Civica CMS implementations.

The site will promote the serv1ces supplied and supported by Patterson, present and future, and provide a upgradeable platform stable for all e-governrnent. e--cornrnerce, mobile and other internal resource initiatives, currr�nt and future. facilitate integrate a wide range of online transactions including third party both It can and software applications such as for payrnents, etc.

(opttonal/fLtture) CivicaAssist CRM and mobile request for service program for the City

Citizens increasingly demand better service from their governments. Designed to streamline the interaction between citizens, residents and local governments, CivicaAssist can economically help a local government greatly improve its service to its constituents.

CivicaAssist is a mobile Request and Issue Management system designed from the ground up specifically for Government. It is scalable for all sizes of cities, counties and special Districts. The core architecture was designed by the same team that created the award-winning Civica Content Management System that has been deployed in hundreds of government Web sites.

White it helps citizens get detailed information they are seeking in the shortest amount of time, on a 24/7 basis, CivicaAssist also has tremendous benefits for the local government itself, including:

• Reducing paperwork, thereby improving productivity

• Establishing the City on the forefront of technology and innovation

• Automatically routing customer requests to the appropriate staff person

• Generating smart request-specific forms to facilitate entry of appropriate information

• Supporting automatic "nag" and reminder features informing staff and supervisors about unresolved cases, reducing the number of requests going unfulfilled

• Monitoring trend analysis, customer concerns and types of issues coming into CivicaAssist

• Generating rich reports for local government administrators and employees specific to their needs and inquiries

With CivicaAssist, constituents can easily:

• Submit requests for information, trouble reports, and violation reports online and, unless anonymity is requested, receive e-mail, phone or mail acknowledgements and updates

• Communicate directly with the correct staff to resolve the request or issue

• Verify the location of the reported incident

• Track and review the status of their request at any time

• Create "member" accounts allowing them to review the status of requests without re-typing contact information

• Tap into the Knowledge Base/Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to find out general information related to their inquiry category

• Get instant answers via departmental Live Cl1at feature

At the same time, employees can:

• Access the request queue of their specific area of responsibility via secure online connections

• Respond online to requests associated with their department

• Assign maintenance teams to access and repair reported damage

• View complete historical request information, sorted according to their needs

• Add a request or report into the system on behalf of a resident

• Check the "member" list to review and validate request historyfor a specific person

Dear Selection Committee Members,

Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal for the redesign of the City of Patterson's website. Based on your specifications and the thoroughness of your RFP, we can see creating a comprehensive website designed to enhance the communication efforts of the City is a top priority. This is particularly exciting to us because we are always looking for opportunities to create showcase websites, just as we have done for the City of Cupertino, the City of Mill Valley, and Yolo County.

Many companies offe r interactive tools, but only Vision Internet will take the time and care to implement a site unique to the City of Patterson. We have created websites for large cities, like the City of Atlanta, and small cities like the Town of Dillon. These clients had different needs. You will, too. Each element of the site, including the graphic design, functionality, and ongoing services will be configured to suit the City of Patterson, now and in the future.

Vision Internet is the ideal partner to lead your transformation:

• Experience: Our core team has worked together over the past decade to create hundreds of government websites across the US.

• Expertise: Our clients have won over 200 awards for our innovations. While other companies tout the ability to apply industry standards, we invented them. • Technology: The visionCMSTM is designed fo r local government and incorporates modern Web 2.0 and mobile technology into a powerful system that makes updates a snap.

• Design: A Vision-quality design is more than eye-catching - it reflects your community and meticulous attention is given to every detail.

• Pricing: We provide competitive pricing and flexible payments. There are no required ongoing fees and the costs reflect real services provided.

• Flexibility: Enjoy a subscription-based maintenance plan, host in-house, or anything in between. No matter how you would like to engage with us for on-going services, we have a plan that will work for you!

In our accompanying proposal, we make a number of recommendations for your project. As you review these suggestions and our previous results, you will see that Vision Internet clearly stands apart and is the best choice for delivering quality results.

I look forward to ta lking with you soon and welcome the opportunity to clarify any questions or provide you with a personal demonstration of our capabilities.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Nguyen

ENOTIFICATION

Increase communication, draw in more repeat users, and get important information out more quickly, using our email based eNotification tool. Our tool provides a sign-up box allowing users to add their email addresses to receive important notices, and set their preferences for the eNotifications they would like to receive. Each registration is verified via a confirmation email that the user must respond to in order to complete the registration process. This same mechanism allows each user to change preferences including opting out from subscription lists.

To better manage the eNotification process, your staff can see how many subscribers there are for each category, plus edit subscriber information and export the subscriber database for use in other systems. Additionally, a marketing dashboard allows administrators to track the number of sent emails and the open rate.

The best part about our eNotification tool is that it also integrates with the Calendar, Job Postings, RFP Postings, and News components, giving you the ability to broadcast event and news content from your website to your subscribers. There is no need to recreate the content. This integrated approach enables your users to sign up for different types and categories of content on a single subscription page in order to have it delivered directly into their email box.

EXTRANET (MEMBERS ONLY)

Vision Internet can implement an Extranet where restricted content is integrated into the main city website. The restricted content is not viewable by users until they log into the website (i.e. designated staff or elected officials). Once they log in, they will see the additional content within the menus or as an additional section to the main website.

When implementing the Extranet, you may want to have different levels of information access. With our Extranet tool, you can define an unlimited number of groups such as designated staff, executive management, and elected officials. Registered users can belong to any number of groups and any number of groups can be associated with most pages in the Extranet. Once implemented, the website visitors will need to log into the website using a username and password to view the secure pages.

The Extranet functionality is included as part of the following components: Business Directory, Calendar, Document Central, Facility Directory, FAOs, Forms Builder, Job Postings, News, Pages, Photo Gallery, RFP Postings, Service Directory, and Staff Directory.

™ 0NECLICK SOCIAL NETWORKING

innovative The OneCiick Social Networking1M component will allow your staff to post content to Y�ur website and to the most popular social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, With one dick • saving your staff precious time and helping you broadcast your news, alerts, events and other notices easily and selectively all across the web. OneCiick Social Networking1M �orks by generating an RSS feed of each component, which can be connected to Twitter, ace book and any other tool that allows importing of RSS feeds using a third party service.

�ur OneCiick Social Networking1M component integrates with the included Dynamic Calendar ystem, Job Postings, News, and RFP Postings components.

�ost of these types of componen�s can be given the same look and feel as your main website VIa modifi cations to the presentation template. For your project, we will provide you with an �TML template that vendors of these t�ird-party components can use. We will also integrate lmks to these third-party components mto the overall website navigation. There are many examples of where we have used this approach, including the Cities of Newport Beach, CA; Rancho Cordova, CA; and many others.

Another approach is to create a web interface for existing third-party databases. We used this approach in displaying tax records exported from a mainfra me system for Vanderburgh County, IN; crime statistics from California state databases for the City of Citrus Heights, CA; Contractor information from city databases for City of Hamilton, OH; and staff and student contact information from school databases for the UCLA School of Law.

These are just a few examples of our extensive experience working with third-party databases and systems. While interfaces to third-party systems are not included within the budget, they are available for an additional fee. We will provide a firm quote for interfaces after analyzing the databases and requirements during the consulting phase of your project.

WEB A AL N YTICS To realize the full potential of your website, you must measure its progress. The easiest way to accomplish this is to actively monitor

website traffic and the ! content most utilized by visitors.

Included with our hosting services, we offer web analytics to analyze website traffic. It presents site traffic reports in an organized and concise format, all with full- color graphics. By utilizing this, we are able to offer complete reports on website visitor patterns, referring sites, visitor paths, and demographics. The reports enable you to understand the website end-users, what search engines and keywords they use to find your website, the pages they access, documents they download most often, and much more.

The reports also provide activity and technical statistics that contain information about the average number of visits, the least and most active days, the length of visits, the total hits, the errors fo und on the pages, etc. These numbers are especially helpful when trying to determine the impact various site promotions have had.

The reports are made available to you over the web, and data is easily exportable to Word, Excel, and XHML.

At V . ision Internet we stand behind our clients and can provide you with the support you need. W •th the visionlive™ plan, clients enjoy unlimited technical support for their websites. Typical s upport questions include how to perform advanced tasks, configure the system, or accomplish sorn e organizational need in the best way possible.

A s an al at our subscription plans, the City can choose to add an Hourly Maintenance tern ive to Plan. roa , you would purchase a defined number of support hours per month. With this app ch Unused hours will automatically roll-over from month-to-month, accumulating over time. These unused hours can be applied to purchase any service offered by Vision Internet, including refresher training, upgrades, new features, or system enhancements, thus ensuring your website remains current and fresh.

If the City has talented .1'-JET developers on staff and is interested in an enterprise solution,

Vision Internet offers a Developer Plan. This approach includes a full copy of the source code, a copy of the SOL database used by the visionCMS"', a perpetual license for the City to modify code for your own use, a user guide and technical guide, and on-site technical training with a Vision Internet developer to learn about the CMS code. This plan will equip your developers to modify the code and make customizations as needed. Let us know if you are interested in exploring this option and we can provide a pricing estimate for you.

The City can also opt to have no on-going contract and simply pay for supportand maintenance services as needed. This option can be utilized by clients who host with Vision Internet or host in-house.

Don't see an option that will work for you? We can discuss additional options with the City and create a plan that will suit your needs!

The Vision Process is the result of long-term, de?icated staff that have built and refi ned our strategy for �ver srxteen years. . The original creators of the process tram a�l our proJ�Ct managers and oversee each and every proJect; ensunng excellent results every time. We have been fortunate to enjoy the loyalty of long-term staff and feel our clients truly benefit . from their experience and expertrse. In fact, our process has led to many innovations that have since become industry standard. Included in the scope of your project is our standard consulting service where we collaborate one-on-one with your internal project manager through conference calls and online meetings. Alternatively, we can come onsite for an additional fee of $4,860 which includes onsite consulting with your project manager and project team. During the onsite meeting we can gather requirements from multiple stakeholders and guide the group to consensus via group discussions. All travel

expenses are included. Each stage of our six-step process includes fo rmal review and approval points ensuring that the fi nal meets your expectations. This process ensures you will not reach the end of the result project and be unhappy with the results. SJfJgl� Wp a.;;.�j.gn <,l pr.:,ljl,·u;�lJJ!ClOi flw. tl.!ilS!;;igLf9LY9_t.! rnornbers.

In the Launch Stage, the website is moved to the production server. Our launch process includes the installation of necessary software, making configuration changes, and transferring code and content. Once transferred, we again go through the final quality assurance process to ensure the site transferred correctly plus do a final check for broken links, Section 508 compliance, and others. The site will be available to the public upon your final approval.

Once your website has launched, Vision Internet will continue to offer support for your website. This includes access to our SPARK Customer Resource Center and our visionlive1M subscription service. Please see page 20 for details on these services.

The frontend of the website will be tested in the browser/operating system combinations 2 according to the fo llowing testing matrix :

• 3 Chrome Safari5 Firefox IE 9.0 & 10

N/A Windows XP ./ ./ ./ ---

Windows Vista/7 ./ ./ ./ ./

Mac OSX n/a ./ n/a ./

The frontend of your website will be viewable by nearly all commonly used browsers. �dditionally, your website will provide high speed upload and download times for both low and hrgh speed computers, including analog dial-up customers. Your website will also have links to Ac:obat Reader and other products necessary to view information on the website, if required. Th1s ensures maximum accessibility for your community.

Note: The website may exhibit some appearance differences when viewed in these various bro sers. T e backend will or later and latest v:-' � be fully compatible with Internet Explorer 9 version of F1refox. Other browsers can also be used fo r the backend but are not officially supported .

Page 31 Due to our extensive experience creating government and education-related websites and implementing content management systems, we are able to offer the City of Patterson a unique solution at a cost normally associated with the canned solutions that many of our competitors provide.

We are certain that in reviewing this proposal, you will realize Vision Internet clearly sta nds out above the competition and is the best choice for guaranteed results. While our bid may not have the lowest initial investment, many times we are lower over the life of the website because we do not have required ongoing fees. Our clients tell us that we provide the best overall value. It is our extensive experience, attention to detail, and commitment to quality that makes the difference. While there are many imitators, only one company delivers a website with Vision.

    The visionCMSrM is the most advanced government-focused content management system available. In addition to the plethora of functions that simplify admi nistration and save staff time, the visionCMSTM includes interactive components and features essential to serving your website visitors.

    Customization of the Vision Content Management SystemrM includes the frontend graphic design and layout as well as adding or subtracting fields for your specific needs. Additional components and customization can be added during development or after launch for an additional fee. Our clients appreciate the flexibility that this level of customization provides over the cookie-cutter offerings of our competitors.

    This section highlights several of our included interactive components and features that are included in the scope of your project. For a complete list, please refer to page 15.

    tt l The Bookmark and Share component is a Web 2.0 feature that helps you spread your content across the web. It makes it easy for website visitors to bookmark and share your content among their favorite social destinations on the web. This tool allows website visitors to share your content with popular social networking and news sites including Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Digg, Reddit and MySpace.

IL *'�:v lUt i�ftfitJ;t.JAt COM.\t !JHfl''f businesses is the use of a I Business Directory in the City's website. This supports local industry and businesses by increasing their ability to reach a national/international market while at the same time making residents more aware of them. When you list businesses on your website, their individual websites may receive higher placement in search engines because of your link to them.

    The Business Directory is an interactive index of local businesses. Your staff can post a business's name, description, location, contact information, links to their sites, and, if available, a graphic (i.e. logo or photo). Users would then be able

    Calendars can be implemented in a user-friendly monthly or yearly format. To assist users further, your website's CU,.lPHJUU Calendars will have filtering tools that allow them to find information by month, category, or even departments. This makes it quite easy to locate specific information.

    Our Dynamic Calendar System contains a number of advanced functions including: Community Event Calendar

    • Recurring events function

    • Automatic archiving " Integration with eNotification component " Ability to create and assign filtering categories to events

    • Ability to restrict use of categories by specific staff , ' _,,,

    • Ability to control which events to include on the homepage of the site

    • Ability to insert calendar pages anywhere in the site navigation

    • Ability to apply different calendar formats including standard monthly calendar and a listing of events

    • Add to my Outlook, Google, and Yahoo calendars link

    • Automatic event address link to Google Maps for driving directions

    • Automatic RSS feeds

    NOTE· With th e eNotifica tion component, calendar events may also be broadcast to subscribers via email.

    In the case of an emergency, it is extremely important for cities to reach out to residents in the most efficient way possible. By doing so, potentially life-saving information reaches those who need it most. Notifying the City's website users is simple with the Emergency Alert banner. The notice is easily customized and can be prepared in advance with common evacuation or shelter information. As some users may not access the website through the homepage, when activated, the Emergency Alert will prominently display across the top of the website of every page so users would not miss it.

    Page 42 \ vision Internet

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are a website staple that visitors have come to expect. While traditional FAQs consist of long lists of questions that may overwhelm users, our component provides a simple and easy

    way for them to find the information fl·!!'>'H 1/'tMt,�A� they need. Website visitors are able to • --I �A .,F<'

    each question so that your visitors will ' 1 - '. � ' be able to find answers based upon the category that best matches what they are looking for.

    Your staff will also love the feature because our component presents a much simpler solution to creating FAQs. Questions and their associated answers are submitted through a simple and centralized interface. Our component does the rest!

    The Friendly URL Redirect component allows you to change the address of any page on the City of Patterson website to www.ci.patterson.ca.us/ . For example, with the Friendly URL Redirect component you can change the address of the Calendar to www.ci.patterson.ca.us/calendar, which is much more user-friendly than www .ci.patterson .ca.us/Default.aspx?pi=21 &ni=30.

    It is important for cities like the City of Patterson to provide their residents with advanced features for requesting services online, saving both your users and your staff time. Vision Internet can implement our advanced govTrack CRM™ for your website.

    Your residents will be able to make service and information requests based on categories defined by the City. Users can also send comments and files (such as photos of a street lamp requiring maintenance, graffiti that needs to be removed, etc.) to the case processor so that they will have a clearer idea of the work that needs to be done. These requests will be automatically routed to the appropriate case processor and a confirmation email will be sent to the user. Passwords provided to users will allow them to log-in and track the progress of their request throughout the process. Users will also receive emails updating them on their requests.

    Additionally, because govTrack CRMTM is integrated with the included Frequently Asked Questions component, your users will also be able to check for common solutions to their problem before sending it to the City.

    Assigned case processors will be notified of service requests by email. After logging-in, an easy­ to-use queue will show them a list of pending requests, including highlighted overdue projects. Either City staff or a contractor can be assigned as a case processor and receive service requests; since requests do not need to be accessed via the Vision Content Management

    Page 44 l \ vision Internet

    By posting news on your site, you will improve communication with your target audiences. Our experience is that news can take many forms, including press releases, feature stories, and "what's new" content. With our News component, each of these types of news can be implemented onto a single section of the website or have their own separate area. To ensure usability for website visitors while providing simplicity for staff, news content is automatically moved to an archive section at a predefined interval after publishing. Website visitors can also browse the archive by category. This is a great way

    to provide a historical archive while ,'1 making site ad ministration easy. Additionally, RSS feeds of news items are automatically available to website visitors.

    NOT£· Th e News component in tegra tes with eNotification fo r broadcasting in formation to subscrib ers via email.

    Nothing spices up a website like pictures. With our Photo Gallery component, your website visitors can browse through images of your beautiful city and its exciting events. Users can view photo albums defined by your staff, and either look at images via thumbnails or a slide show. Simply upload the image from the Image Library to the new album and add a caption; thumbnails are created and added to pages based upon the predefined template. What a great way to save staff time while livening up your website!

    To make future Requests for Proposals simpler, easier to manage, and more cost effective, the website can include an RFP Postings where they can be posted along with amendments and updates.

    Potential ve ndors can download RFPs in a PDF format. Because RFPs are time sensitive, you can schedule when the RFP posting would be live on the website and when it would be removed, thus ensuring your website is kept up-to-date with minimal staff time required. Additionally the RFP Postings can be integrated with our eNotification system to alert users by email.

    It is often difficult for website visitors to find the correct person to contact in a government agency. However, the useful Staff Directory component greatly simplifies this search. It can list all staff persons, departments, even related agencies and partners, along with their contact information and description of their role or area of specialization. Your website users will love the convenience, simplicity, and accessibility; they can easily filter the list of staff based upon name, department, or other criteria determined to be important to them.

    Additionally, your staff will be pleased that they can make their email addresses available to others without exposing their contact information to spammers. Our component "masks" email addresses so that email-harvesting software used by spammers cannot automatically extract them from your website.

    This handy administrative feature provides website administrators a snapshot of website activities. An initial search can display expired content, created or updated content, then can be further filtered by content type or by department. Need to quickly find out what section of your website hasn't been updated for a while? Curious to see which department has been most actively creating new content? The Updated and Expired Content Manager makes website oversight easy!

    The Version Control feature lets site administrators save multiple versions of any page on the website. This provides for easy restoration of site content in the case of an unintended edit or delete. Additionally, if content changes seasonally, multiple versions can be queued up and ready to go - then published with a single click!

    The Meetings Manager tool allows government staff to manage their meeting process from beginning to end. With the Meetings Manager, we make it easy to submit meeting agenda items, build agendas, and log minutes. Main features of the Meetings Manager include:

    MEETING TYPES (I.E. CITY COUNCIL, PLANNING COMMISSION, ETC.)

    • Meeting Types are created that will contain a set of meeting items, agendas, and minutes.

    • Each Meeting Type can have its own standardized formatting for all agendas and minutes within that meeting type.

    • Meeting Type has meeting members and other generic information added so you do not need to log them again when creating agendas or minutes.
