BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The original fee study for Police Development Mitigation Fee funds includes vehicles and equipment for any officers added after the adoption of the fee program On January 3, 1994 two additional officers were hired to staff the Bicycle Patrol program.

This project amounts to a little less than 13 of the total projected funds.

Snider: You've got better hair. Peterson: Adjust your ...adjust your hair, Dennis. Siegtock: 'Move on.. move on. Callahan: Okay. This Rem ... this council communication was prepared by the Police Chief. however, 11 give basically the report. If you have any questions of him, he's stayed as well to address those questions, if you have them. But basically, what we have before you is the request to purchase one additional police patrol unit, and the reasons for that are pretty well explained and I don't need to go into those. What I need to explain to you is the reason we need to change the action that was before you. And that was, at about 1:00 today I was trying to get an additional confirmation from the firm that we were suggesting we buy this police vehicle from, which was Melrose Ford. You may remember just four short weeks ago, we were here discussing four police vehicles and that was the firm that we purchased those vehicles through. That order had already taken place; however, before you with the letterhead of Downtown Ford, and you'll see a little pink highlight in the middle of it we have given to you for your reference. We received a letter from Downtown Ford, the agency who was one of the three that bid for those vehicles that we shared with you about a few weeks ago. And in that letter, we learned that we had the ability to purchase, if we so desired, additional police vehic:es. You'll see that highlighted there is that we had to give thein a letter of intent to do so by March 16. When I received this letter. I thought perhaps we should go and see if there is a possibility of buying a police vehicle from Melrose Ford also, because if you recall the purchase price for the Ford Crown Victoria from Melrose Ford was about $768 less than what we were going to pay if we had purchased it from Downtown Ford. And Melrose Ford believed they had a vehicle they'd give to us, but unfortunately it was contingency on action that was going to be taken by the City of Woodland Council which met last night. That Council decided to buy their full complement of vehicles which honestly. I guess, the police chief or the equipment manager did not expect. Because they took that action, we no longer had a vehicle available to us, as of 1:00 today. So then what 1 needed to do was quickly confirm from Downtown Ford that a vehicle was available if you're action was to grant that we purchase that and was able to secure that reassurance this afternoon. So, what we're asking you to do basically would be to adjust the item before you to recommend that the Police Department be allowed to purchase a 1994 Crown Victoria from Downtown Ford for the purchase price of $16,788.53, additionally have you approve the emergency equipment in the same amount, $4,170, and the Motorola radio required for that vehicle of $4,000 for a new total of $24, 958.53. Peterson: What's the new total, Dennis? Callahan: $24,958.53 and basically what we are saying to you is we lost the savings of $768.26 that we had hoped to get by purchasing through Melrose Ford. McNatt: If I might jump in here, Mr. Mayor. Obviously what's on the agenda tonight doesn't have anything to do with what the proposed action is ... the agenda item talked about purchasing a car from Melrose Ford and didn't make any mention of anyone else. So, if yov want to act on this tonight ... if the Council determines that we need this car as soon as we can get it, it's gonna have to make the two findings. Again, first that the need arose after the agenda was printed... Peterson: The agenda just says one police vehicle. McNatt: Yeah, right. but w hen you look at the staff report that went with it, it says Melrose. The agenda is the entire packet. Sieglock: Right. McNatt: You can still do it if you wish. You can make the findings: need to take action arose after the agenda was printed, that is now you're going to substitute in Downtown Ford, instead of Melrose. and then vote on it if you wish. Sieglock: Okay. It's been moved by Mr. Mann Davenport: See you Mr. Mayor. You guys don't need me ... (undetectable) ... Enjoy. Sieglock: Goodnight. It's been seconded by Mr. Snider. All those to favor, signify by saying "Aye' (Aye). Mr. Penninu said he'd like the car and I seconded R. AN those in favor, signify by saying 'Aye'.. . Pennino: What are we voting on? Excuse me, I'm sorry. McNatt: That the need... Pennino: The need. Sieglock: The first action... McNatt: ...to lake action arose. Pennino: Okay ... well. now... Sieglock: Mr. Mann made that motion, (Pennino: Okay. And we voted on that) Mr. Snider seconded. Now we're finding that we're going to purchase the car. You made the motion and I seconded it.. . Pennino: Just change out the wording that will not be a back up. We'll actually put 0 ... the documentation says a backup and I'd hate to see R out there not being used for two bicycle cops. Sieglock: All those in favor, signify by saying 'Aye" (Aye). We will now go to closed door session. Peterson: I want to point out. I put in front of you at each Council Member's seat. A couple of weeks ago, the Council requested a map of all vacant industrial parcels (Mann: Ah, okay). Here they are and they're by parcel ... (Pennino: good... good job) here's the City map, here's the ... (undetectable) ... parcel map in the amount of the acreage, etc. Mann: What address? Peterson: We don't have addresses. Pennino: Do we have a closed door session? Sieglock: Yeah, IBEW, LPOA. 0 Mann: Yeah, I've heard that before. NOTE: In regards to the announcement of the adjournment following Closed Session, I believe you misunderstood what I was saying to you on March 21, 1994. The Mayor did bang the gavel and announce that the meeting was adjourned following the Closed Session (as he does most of the time); however, what I was explaining to you is that normally I do not record the announcement of the adjournment on the recording system.

PETERSON City Manager IENNITER AI PERRIN City Clerk DOA McNATT City Attorney At the regular council meeting of March 16, 1994, I properly removed items 3,4, & 8 from the consent calendar and requested discussion of the same. You allowed the City Manager to remove item 9. You denied me my right as a councilmember to address the items 3,4, & 8, without any discussion of the items whatsoever. Your action also denied citizens input. Your reason was that you were tired and did not want to listen to me. You subsequently allowed the City Manager and other staff members to proceed with consent item 9. I believe such tyrannical conduct by the Mayor of our City is reflective of your leadership. Mayoral duties, Brown Act provisions and procedural rules of conducting a meeting are not subject to your whim or physical condition of being too tired to listen to councilmembers but not too tired to listen to the City Manager or other select-- councilmembers elect—councilmembers of your personal discretion. Since items 3,4, & 8 of the consent calendar were illegally approved I demand that they be placed on the agenda at the next regular council meeting. I have been subjected to your improper remarks and conduct in the past which is a matter of public record, my response has been tolerant and passive to date. However your flagrant misuse of Mayoral power to attempt to nullify a duly elected representative cannot go unnoticed. Councilmembers in fact have a right to remove items from the agenda they also have a right to make comment on the items they removed, this is an elementary principle which you and other councilmembers cannot blatantly ignore. I trust your mayoral duties will conform to rules of procedure and the Brown Act in the future. Also, it is my opinion that it is inexcusable to have 9,.ich a long meeting and manipulate the agenda items to keep people waiting almost.four hours to discuss the garbage issue of proposed increases.
