PLEASE PUBLIC COMMENT ROSTER AGENDA ITEM 7 ~,_;,_~~e=o~LED P-UBLIC.COMMEN December 1, 2014 NAME ADDRESS Q OPIC J Fl RE D£PT Lindsay von Colditz FW: Resignation -Englewood Cultural Arts Commission Appointment ----------Forwarded message ---------- From: <lauraphelpsrogers@ hotmail.com> Date: Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 12:03 PM Subject: Re: Resignation -Englewood Cultural Arts Commission Appointment To: Amy Martinez <amymartinez79@gmail.com> Dear Ms. Martinez, 8a I regret I will not be able to fulfill a role on the Cultural Arts Commission. The Englewood Urban Renewal meetings are at an influx, with meeting times conflicting with the EAC meeting times. Last night 11 /5 was an example where EURA met with a developer we are currently with. Although I am a sculptor working in the public sector, my civic expertise lies in the area of using cultural arts to engage economic development. The projects I have been involved with cross over into a broad form of community development. This expertise comes from a real estate investment perspective. It is my observation the Cultural Arts Commission is not quite yet, integrated with those sectors of government for me to function as an effective member of the board. ~ould you ever need expertise or assistance in the matter of arts crossing over into economic development -I .1 place myself at your disposal and assist you in finding the proper guidance. Please advise me what further actions I need to take to facilitate my resignation. Regretfully , Laura Phelps Rogers • 1 • • • PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign strives to raise awareness for the homeless throughout the winter months and gather donations of new and gently used socks to warm the feet of those without shelter; and WHEREAS, 2014 marks the fourth annual Sock It To Em Sock Campaign and Sock It To Em Work Day, where Colorado communities are asked to forgo their socks and support the homeless as a show of solidarity; and WHEREAS, those who participate in the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign are encouraged to post pictures of themselves on the Campaign's Facebook page sporting bare feet and ankles in order to help raise awareness of the cause and help encourage others to donate warm comfort to those in need; and WHEREAS, the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign is a joint effort of volunteers, local businesses and donations who have a goal of providing socks to 50,000 fellow Coloradoans in need this winter; and WHEREAS , the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign encourages communities, schools and organizations to adopt the day and start their own sock campaign throughout the winter months to raise awareness, lend a helping hand; and WHEREAS, the residents of Englewood, Colorado join this effort and contribute to the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign benefiting the homeless. NOW THEREFORE, I, Randy P. Penn, Mayor of the City of Englewood, Colorado, hereby proclaim December 10, 2014: SOCK IT TO EM WORK DAY in the City of Englewood, Colorado.

GIVEN under my hand and seal this 1st day of December, 2014. Randy P. Penn, Mayor 8b • • COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Date: Agenda Item: Subject: December 1, 2014 11 c i Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Application Initiated By: Staff Source: Fire Department Andrew Fox, Acting Assistant Chief of Support Services COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides funding for a variety of programs, equipment and facility needs within the United States fire services. The AFG conforms to the following City Council objectives: • A City that provides and maintains quality infrastructure • A safe, clean and attractive City • A progressive City that provides responsive and cost efficient services City Council has approved AFG applications during the past 12 years since the inception of the program in 2002. The Fire Department has received grants through AFG in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009 and 2011. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends Council approve a resolution authorizing an application to AFG for the purchase of replacement portable radios, mobile radios and base station radios for the Fire Department. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED The communications systems currently used by the Englewood Fire Department are now approaching end of life and will no longer be supported by the manufacturer. Parts and repairs will become increasingly more difficult to find and more expensive to purchase. Further, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated a new emergency response framework that will go into effect in 201 7 requiring all emergency service providers to have P25 compliant radio equipment with a narrowband format. Englewood Fire Department radios do not meet the 201 7 FCC P25 requirement. City Council approved a similar AFG application in 2013 but the Fire Department was unsuccessful in obtaining that grant. The Fire Department desires to submit another application to AFG for funding to purchase 19 P25 compliant mobile (vehicle) and 34 P25 portable (handheld) radios along with five P25 base station radios (stationary) to bring the department up to the P25 standard as well as to replace our currently obsolete radios . Communication equipment is a high funding priority for the 2014 AFG program . The amount offederal money allocated to the Assistance to Firefighter Grant program is evaluated annually as part of the Federal Budget. It is unknown how much money will be allocated in the future, or what the funding priorities may be in future grant periods. The AFG application deadline is December 5, 2014. FINANCIAL IMPACT • The AFG, for a city of Englewood 's population, is a 90% Federal grant, which means the City would be required to provide a 1 0% match in funds for the project if awarded by FEMA and then approved by City Council. The Fire Department is actively preparing the application and is still working out the details of the total cost of the project with our current service provider. The current estimate of the total cost of the • project including radios, batteries, chargers, and accessories is $279,453. The AFG amount would be $254,049, and the City's responsibility would be $25,404. The upcoming move to MetCom Dispatch does not affect this need whatsoever. Englewood Fire Department is still required to have our own radios and to meet the Federally Mandated P25 standard by 201 7. Our City's Public Improvement Fund (PIF) for capital purchases could be used as a source for the required match. Submitting this grant application does not commit the City to accepting the funds should the grant be awarded. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 2014 AFG Communications Upgrade Pricing Proposed Resolution • • • • • 2014 AFG Communications Upgrade pricing Portable Radio, Spare Battery and Accessories (34) $4339/each $147,526 Motorola APX6000XE Portable Mobile Radio and Accessories (19) $3850/each $ 73,150 Motorola APX6500 Mobile Base Station Radio and Accessories (5) $5440/each $ 27,200 Motorola APX7500 Base Station Single Vehicle Charger (34) $312/each $10,608 Multi-Unit Vehicle/120V Charger (9) $1013/each $ 9,117 120V Single Unit Charger (8) $94/each $ 752 Programming -$500 setup fee+ $100/radio(58) $ 6300 Mobile and Base Station lnstallation(24) $200/each $ 4800 Total Cost of Project $279,453 This reflects an increase of $32,224 (13%) over the 2013 AFG grant. This is due to costs increases and changes in equipment. The city's matching responsibility increase is approximately $3222 over 2013. This pricing was obtained from Clint Goldstein of Wireless Advanced Communications and reflects Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) Pricing (Colorado State Contract) . • • • RESOLUTION NO. SERIES OF 2014 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION FOR A FEMA ASSISTANCE TO FIREFIGHTERS GRANT (AFG) AW ARD TO THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO. WHEREAS, the City of Englewood has received grant awards from the FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009 and 2011; and WHEREAS, the radio communication systems currently in use by the Fire Department were acquired approximately 11 years ago and are now obsolete; and WHEREAS, technical support through the manufacturer and service provider ended last year, and while repairs are still possible, parts for the current radios will no longer be available when the current inventory of parts on the market is depleted; and WHEREAS, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated a new emergency response framework that will go into effect in 2017 (originally 2013) requiring all emergency service providers to have P25 compliant radio equipment with a narrowband format, which the Fire Department currently does not have; and WHEREAS, the Englewood Fire Department desires to submit an application to AFG for funding to purchase nineteen P25 compliant mobile (vehicle) and thirty-four P25 portable (handheld) radios along with five P25 base station radios (stationary) to bring the department up to the P25 standard as well as to replace currently obsolete radios; and WHEREAS, the AFG for the City of Englewood's population, is a 90% federal grant (the expected total cost of the project to be approximately $279,453, expected 90% federal grant to be approximately $254,049, which means the City responsibility would be $25,404 for the project if awarded by FEMA and then approved by City Council; and WHEREAS, the City's matching funds are not currently budgeted and an appropriation request is anticipated from the Fire Department should this Grant be awarded . 1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Englewood, Colorado hereby authorizes the Englewood Fire Department to submit an application for a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG), for federal funding to purchase nineteen P25 compliant mobile (vehicle), and thirty-four P25 portable (handheld) radios along with five P25 base stations radios (stationary) to bring the Department up to the P25 standard as well as to replace our currently obsolete radios, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Since 2009 the City's revenues have exceeded expenditures only once. The City's revenue growth which is mainly driven by sales taxes, while recovering, still struggles to meet personnel cost increases which comprise 91 o/o of the Fire Department budget. The City has relied on using one-time transfers and reserves to make up the lack of revenue growth. The City has held fire positions open and kept other vital city personnel positions open to reduce spending.
