Consideration of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for FY2015 and Approval of Rollovers (First Reading) PRESENTED BY: ELIZABETH HOLLEB, FINANCE DIRECTOR (847) 810-3612 PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of the ordinance and the rollovers. 1 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS: Reviewed Date Comments City Council May 5, 2014 Adoption of FY15 Comprehensive Plan BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: While the annual municipal budget represents the City’s financial “plan” for expenditures over the course of the fiscal year, the annual Appropriation Ordinance is the formal legal mechanism by which the City Council authorizes the actual expenditures of funds budgeted in the annual budget. It appropriates specific sums of money by object and purpose of expenditures. State statutes require the passage of an Appropriation Ordinance which must be filed with the County Clerk by the end of July. The Appropriation Ordinance includes the Library, which was not included in the budget approved at the May 5, 2014 City Council meeting. The Library expenses are approved by the Library Board. The Debt Service payments were included in the budget approved at the May 5, 2014 City Council meeting, but are excluded from the Appropriation Ordinance. The ordinances approving the debt issues authorize these annual expenditures. The Appropriation Ordinance provides for a 10% “contingency” in the expenditures in an amount above those actually budgeted. Each separate fund includes an item labeled “contingency” with an appropriate sum equivalent up to 10% of the total funds budgeted. This practice has been followed for the past thirty years and has worked very efficiently, while still providing for complete City Council control over budgeted expenditures. Importantly, the City Council and City staff follows the adopted budget as its spending guideline, not the Appropriation Ordinance. Without the contingency, the City Council would have to pass further modifications to the Appropriation Ordinance to cover any unforeseen expenditures exceeding the budget. In addition, in order to provide more accurate and efficient accounting and budgeting of City funds, an annual rollover of funds is required. This eliminates both under and over budgeting of funds in the new fiscal year and is a widely used standard practice for most municipal governments. The items on the attached rollover list (page 14) consist of projects that were appropriated in FY2014 and will not be completed until FY2015. School District 67 does not recognize the Appropriation Ordinance in its budgeting or auditing standards. However, due to the fact it is a special charter district, its budget must be included in our Appropriation Ordinance. School District 67 numbers are estimates and are subject to changes.

Approval of Resolution Authorizing Temporary Overflow Beach Parking During Forest Park Construction STAFF CONTACT: Mary Van Arsdale, Director, 810-3918 PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of a Resolution (page 34) authorizing temporary parking options on overflow beach days on an as-needed basis, in the areas shown on Exhibit A (page 33). The Resolution would also direct Public Safety personnel to suspend any Code Enforcement actions related to parking that is consistent with this Resolution. PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS: Reviewed Date Comments Parks and Recreation, Police, Community Development, Office of City Manager 06/16/14 Collaborative Support of Resolution 4 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda First Presbyterian Church 06/19/14 Supportive of Request. Coordination process in place. Lake Forest College 05/21/14 06/23/14 Supportive of Request. Coordination process in place. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: With the Forest Park Project Improvements underway, parking in and around Forest Park will be reduced and may not meet the demand for parking on peak activity/weather days at the beach and boat basin. The construction phasing of work for this summer and fall 2014 results in the loss of the Upper South Parking Lot, or approximately 20 spaces. In an effort to be proactive with ways to accommodate parking, staff evaluated the options and identified two parking locations to help mitigate the challenges on overflow days. The options are shown in Exhibit A, page 33, and will be located on the Lake Forest College Campus and one along the south side of Deerpath between Sheridan and Washington Roads. Currently, City ordinances and Lake Forest College Special Use Permits restrict The City from utilizing these parking options for this purpose without City Council approval. An operations plan to address the items identified in the Resolution has been developed in conjunction with the appropriate staff from the First Presbyterian Church, Lake Forest College, Police Department and Parks and Recreation Department. Parking must be filled at the Lower North and Lower South parking lots before City staff activates the overflow parking option. Temporary signage will be used and beach parking staff will be placed at the overflow parking areas to monitor and communicate between all of the parking lots. Neighbors adjacent to these parking areas will be notified upon City Council approval. COUNCIL ACTION: Approve Resolution Authorizing Temporary Overflow Beach Parking During Forest Park Construction. 4. Recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Board for approval of Everett Park Tot Lot Playground Project as Included in the FY15 Capital Plan STAFF CONTACT: Chuck Myers, Superintendent of Parks & Forestry (810-3565) PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Parks and Recreation Board and Staff are seeking approval to purchase playground equipment and installation materials for the Everett Park Tot Lot Playground Capital Project. PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS: Reviewed Date Comments Parks and Recreation Board 6/17/14 Recommend Approval of NuToys contract Parks and Recreation Board 5/20/14 First Review of Design/Color Selection City Recreation and Park Staff April-May 2014 Design Development Phase 5 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Everett Tot Lot playground was originally built in 1991, and designed for children 2-5 years of age, it is the smaller of the two playgrounds and is located on the west side of the park. A larger elementary-age playground is located on the east side and is used exclusively by Everett School and Recreation Department’s preschool program on a daily basis. The current playground has reached the end of its useful life and consists of rotting timber retaining walls, fibar wood chip surface, sandbox and metal and plastic playground equipment in poor condition. The playground is heavily utilized by the neighborhood and Lake Forest families using the soccer and baseball game fields. Replacement is needed to provide a safe and modern play structure for children. The City vetted several playground manufacturers in 2009 and selected Landscape Structure equipment, solely distributed by NuToys, as the preferred line of playground equipment. Since that time, the City has installed playgrounds at Deerpath Park, Waveland and Townline Parks with this preferred vendor. This has resulted in a high quality, consistent appearance of playgrounds in our parks and resident feedback has been extremely positive. NuToys has worked with staff to design a playground that would be well suited in scale, variety and according to budget for the Everett Park property. The proposed playground is designed with play elements that appropriately stimulate and encourage motor and cognitive play for young children, are in full compliance with current ADA standards, and has poured-in-place surfacing which reduces the weekly and annual maintenance needs. Staff followed the same design and procurement process as used for the last three playground projects by working through HGACBuy, a National Procurement Service, which competitively bids playground equipment to offer time and cost savings (6% discount on equipment) for Governmental Entities. This bidding process is fully compliant with the City of Lake Forest Government Joint Purchasing Policy and State of Illinois procurement statutes. In addition, we do not have to bid the demolition or installation costs as that we complete this in-house with our certified parks crew personnel. Upon approval by City Council, the tentative schedule for this project will be the purchase of all equipment in July 2014, with demolition and pre-construction beginning in early August, and equipment installation starting later that month. The tentative completion date for this project will be September 26th. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost for this project; including equipment, site work and Poured-in-Place rubber surfacing is $100,000. Funding for the Everett Park Tot Lot Playground Project is budgeted in the FY’15 CIP. Our estimated break down of costs is as follows: Expense Amount Playground Equipment $44,386 Concrete Curbing/Sidewalk Extension/Stone $23,423 6 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda Poured-in-Place Rubber Surfacing $32,191 Total Expense: $100,000 FY ’15 Funding Source Amount Budgeted Amount Requested Budgeted? Y/N Park and Recreation Fund $100,000 $92,569.12 Y Special Recreation Fund $10,000 $7,430.88 Y COUNCIL ACTION: The Parks & Recreation Board and Staff recommend waiving a City bid process by using the national joint governmental HGACBuy procurement bid program and awarding a contract to NuToys Leisure Products, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the purchase of playground equipment, surfacing and concrete installation. 5. Approval Directing Staff to Prepare a Contract with Vermont Systems, Inc. to Purchase Parks and Recreation Software STAFF CONTACT: Mary Van Arsdale, Director of Parks and Recreation (847-810-3918) and Elizabeth Holleb, Director of Finance/IT (847-810-3612) PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Parks and Recreation Board and Staff requests approval that authorizes City staff and the City Attorney to prepare a contract with Vermont Systems, Inc. (VSI) for replacement of the Parks and Recreation Department software system. PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS: Reviewed Date Comments Parks and Recreation Board 11/19/13 Plante Moran Consulting Recommendation City Council 12/2/13 Awarded Plante Moran Consultant Contract City Staff 01/2014 Participated in Needs Assessment Parks and Recreation & Finance/IT Staff 01-06/2014 Developed Software Specifications, Conducted RFP and Vendor Diligence City Manager 2/5/14 Needs Assessment Report & Authorization to Proceed with Software Vendor RFP Parks and Recreation Board 06/17/14 Recommended preparation of contract with Vermont Systems, Inc. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City Parks and Recreation department has utilized Active Network Class software since 1998. The current version of this software is being 7 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda phased out by 2016 and will no longer be supported. As a result, the Parks and Recreation Department, in conjunction with the Finance/IT Department, began to investigate a right- sized, comprehensive software solution to meet operational business needs. In December 2013, City Council authorized a contract totaling $40,325 with Plante Moran, a software consulting firm, to support staff and provide software project management expertise throughout all phases except implementation. Plante Moran has since guided staff through a very detailed and extensive six-month process using their assessment methodology and set of related scoring tools intended to mitigate City risk while incorporating City of Lake Forest needs (see Plante Moran’s Project Memorandum page 37). Since January 2014 staff with Plante Moran has completed four very distinct phases of work that included: • Phase 0-Project Management: Completed December 2013. • Phase 1-Needs Assessment: Completed January 2014. • Phase 2- RFP Vendor Preparation and Delivery: Completed March 2014. • Phase 3-Software Vendor Response Analysis & Selection: Completed June 2014. • Phase 4-Statement of Work Development and Contract Negotiations: Anticipate completion in September 2014. CURRENT PROJECT MILESTONE: The City issued a Request for Proposal to potential recreation software vendors on March 7, 2014. Staff received 3 comprehensive proposals and 1 best of breed solution for a total of four (4) proposals. The three comprehensive vendors (Active Network, eTrak-Plus and Vermont Systems, Inc.) were deemed to satisfy the minimum criteria that allowed the City to proceed with further extensive evaluation. However, Volgistics, being a best-of-breed solution focused solely on volunteer management, did not allow for a comprehensive comparative analysis with the other complete systems but was evaluated as a specialized module. Proposal costs were received from the vendors as follows: Vendors Proposal Results- One Time & Year One Costs Cumulative Costs over 10 Year Period Active Network (VH) $182,904 $1,179,578 eTrak-Plus (VH) $136,654 $289,041 Vermont Systems (VH) $162,200 $425,576 Vermont Systems (OP) $151,700 $305,205 Volgistics (Best of Breed VH) $1,176 $13,482 VH=vendor hosted solution, OP=on premise hosted solution As the chart above indicates, the four RFP vendors provided one-time and on-going prices that varied widely due to software capabilities, fee structures and suggested modification scope. A full financial analysis of the totals above included a one-time cost summary, on-going cost summary, 10-year cost summary, modular cost summary, data conversion summary, interface summary and service hours summary (see Project Executive Summary page 40). As a result, vendors were provided an opportunity to clarify information in their proposals via written responses to address remaining City questions. Two vendors, eTrak-Plus and Vermont Systems, were chosen to provide full day demonstrations of their software solution. Staff did not select Active Network due to our familiarity as our current vendor. Full day demonstrations, with approximately 18 City staff in attendance, were held in May 2014. 8 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda Following each of the vendor demonstrations, the Selection Committee met to debrief and discuss strengths and weaknesses of the proposed solution. The Selection Committee scored the vendors and unanimously chose to complete further diligence with Vermont Systems, Inc. only by conducting in-depth reference interviews with five current clients using similar modules. The City also conducted an additional reference check to verify the vendor’s ability to interface with the City’s current SunGard HTE financial system. We will further explore the vendor hosted option as part of our contract negotiations. CONCLUSIONS: Through the comprehensive diligence review, staff identified the strengths and pitfalls of each proposed vendor. A specific concern of the lowest comprehensive bidder, eTrak-Plus, was their inability to meet core software specifications without significant customization (21% must be customized), their weak financial reporting capabilities, and overall preparation and follow up throughout the RFP process. Active Network currently falls short of meeting our business needs and their next version was determined to be cost prohibitive over a 10-year period. Vermont Systems, Inc. provided the software that most ideally met City needs and specifications, was extremely professional to work with, has a satisfied client base and fits the City’s annual funding capabilities. The Selection Committee and Parks and Recreation Board unanimously concluded that Vermont Systems offered the solution that would most satisfy the City’s software needs. At this phase of the project, City staff is seeking authorization to move forward into a development of the Statement of Work and Contract Negotiations with our preferred vendor, Vermont Systems, Inc. During this next phase, the City will work with the vendor to confirm any items that may alter the final costs and ensure that the specific scope of software, hardware, immediate and on-going services is clearly documented. In addition, implementation timing and other details such as terms and conditions must be agreed to in order to finalize a contract. The contract, with the final and full project costs identified, and which has been reviewed by the City’s attorney, will come back to City Council for approval by September 2014. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: City staff is not seeking any financial approval at this phase; rather we are seeking authorization to move forward into contract negotiation based upon the six months of research, request for proposal process and diligence that has occurred resulting in the selection of Vermont Systems, Inc. as the preferred software firm. This project was identified as a FY15 Capital project funded via the Recreation Fund and the process to date complies fully with the Project Plan and City’s purchasing policies. Below is an estimated summary of Project budget: FY2015 Funding Source Amount Budgeted Amount Requested Budgeted? Y/N Fund 220 Parks & Recreation 220-8065-451-75-01 $290,000 None at this phase of project Y 9 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda COUNCIL ACTION: authorize City staff and City Attorney to prepare a contract with Vermont Systems, Inc. (VSI) for replacement of the Parks and Recreation Department software system and seek City Council approval of said contract and costs by September 2014. 6. Ratify a Letter of Understanding between the City of Lake Forest and the Village of Glenview in which the Village of Glenview agrees to provide qualified dispatching personnel to staff the Lake Forest Dispatch Center throughout the Dispatch Consolidation transitional period. STAFF CONTACT: JAMES HELD, CHIEF OF POLICE (847) 810-3802 PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council Ratify a Letter of Understanding between the City of Lake Forest and the Village of Glenview in the transitional period until Glenview fully incorporates the Consolidated Dispatching services. A copy of the Letter of Understanding can be found on page 45. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Due to the Dispatch Consolidation, contingency plans were put in place to have Glenview dispatch employees fill in if/when City dispatchers left the City, subsequently, four Lake Forest dispatchers have left the employ of the City and the City of Lake Forest faced the hardship of filling openings with forced overtime assignments by the remaining personnel. Due to the fact that the cumulative cost of utilizing Glenview employees will exceed the City Managers spending authority, the City Council needs to ratify the attached letter of understanding. The letter of understanding with Glenview provides one or more qualified dispatchers and will achieve three main goals: first, reducing the amount of overtime hours and salary that currently burdens the City of Lake Forest; secondly, providing Lake Forest personnel a respite from the strenuous workload with very limited time off; and thirdly, allowing the Glenview dispatch personnel an opportunity to train on the Lake Forest system and educate themselves on the expectations of the residents and geography of our jurisdiction. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal agreement for the Letter of Understanding is as follows: Personnel Hourly Rate Overtime Rate Glenview Supervisor $70.00 $83.25 Glenview Dispatcher $45.00 $47.59 By comparison, the City is currently paying existing dispatchers an average rate of $50.19 per hour to provide coverage. These fees will remain consistent throughout the transitional period until Glenview fully incorporates the Consolidated Dispatching. The City of Lake Forest will be billed by Glenview at a rate that affords a savings of approximately $2600.00 per month through the transitional period. COUNCIL ACTION: Ratify the Letter of Understanding between The City of Lake Forest and the Village of Glenview COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the SIX (6) Omnibus items as presented. 10 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda 6. ORDINANCES 7. NEW BUSINESS 7:00p.m. 1. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission Pertaining to Proposed Amendments to Approvals Previously Granted to the Amberley Woods Development to Allow a Retail Center, the Conway Market, on 8.5 Acres Located at the Southeast Corner of Route 60 and Saunders Road. (Approval of a Motion Providing Direction.) Presented by: Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development (810-3504) and Victor Filippini, City Attorney PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Council is asked to consider a recommendation from the Plan Commission relating to a proposed retail center, the Conway Market, on Route 60. The retail center is proposed in place of the office and ancillary retail/restaurant uses previously approved for this 8.5 acre site as part of the Amberley Woods mixed use development. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: In November, 2013, the Plan Commission heard an informational presentation on the proposed retail center. In February, 2014, the Commission opened a public hearing on the matter and continued the hearing over the course of three meetings. During the public hearing process, the Plan Commission heard lengthy presentations and testimony from the petitioner, the petitioner’s consultants, members of the public and City staff. On June 11, 2014, the Commission concluded its review and forwarded a recommendation of conditional support for the project to the City Council. The Plan Commission acknowledged that the project as proposed requires exceptions to prior approvals granted for this site, amendments to the plat of subdivision and variances from some Code requirements. The Commission also acknowledged that the development deviates in some ways from the Comprehensive Plan direction for the Route 60 Corridor. However, the Commission stated support for the concept of retail and restaurant uses at the proposed location and an interest in finding a way to make such a project work. During deliberations, the Commission strived to balance the various interests, points of view, what is needed to make a retail center successful, and the intent of existing policies and requirements. Toward that end, the Commission developed a series of recommendations for Council consideration. The recommendations are focused around several key aspects of the site.  Use. As noted above, the Commission supported the concept of retail and restaurant uses at this site from a land use perspective. The Commission’s recommendation attempts to bring certainty, to the extent possible, that the anchor tenant in the center will be Whole Foods or a grocery store offering products and services of similar quality. The Commission also recommended limiting the percent of the spaces that can be occupied by non-sales tax producing businesses similar to limitations in the City’s other business districts.  Intensity of Development of the Site. The Commission’s recommendation addresses setbacks, tree removal/replanting, parking lot layout and buffers 11 July 7, 2014 City Council Agenda between the retail center and the adjacent existing and future residential development to the east and south. These issues together direct how intensely the site will be developed.  Drainage. The Commission heard testimony from engineers confirming that the preliminary drainage plans and calculations meet applicable requirements. The Commission also recognized that final drainage plans would require further review and verification and asked that they be carefully scrutinized. The Commission heard concerns from neighboring residents about drainage and in response directed exploration early in the public hearing process, of alternative plans.  Traffic. The Commission supported the addition of a right in/right out access to the retail center from Route 60 and the lengthening of the westbound left turn lane on Route 60 to facilitate traffic to and from the retail center. The Commission’s recommendations make provisions for the possibility that future improvements to the intersection of Route 60, Saunders Road and Field Drive may be needed and direct that costs proportionate to the traffic generated be by borne by the new development. The Commission also responded to concerns about cut through traffic on Amberley Court, the road to the south of the development, and included in its recommendation a provision to reserve land for a cul-de-sac with landscape screening to protect the residential character, privacy and security of the Amberley Woods Courtyard neighborhood. The Commission recognized in its discussions that two aspects of the proposed project were not under its purview, the demolition of the existing residence and the economic impacts of the proposed development. The Commission did not address these issues. The background materials for this agenda item begin on page 46 of the Council’s packet. The materials include the detailed recommendation and a report from the Plan Commission providing further details on the proposed development and on the Plan Commission’s deliberations. The full record for this petition, including all previous Plan Commission packet and correspondence received, is available upon request from the Community Development Department. COUNCIL ACTION: By motion, provide direction regarding the Plan Commission’s recommendation on the Amberley Woods petition: 1) direct that revision of the plans and review by appropriate Boards and Commissions proceed in accordance with the recommendations as forwarded by the Plan Commission, or 2) direct that revision of the plans and review by appropriate Boards and Commissions proceed in accordance with the recommendations as modified by the City Council, or 3) indicate that the Council does not support the petition. 8.

Report on City of Lake Forest Assistance with Rebuilding Efforts in Washington, IL Presented by Community Development Department Staff Robert Kiely, City Manager, reported that when he spoke to the City Manager in Washington IL, to see how The City of Lake Forest could aid his community, it was immediately clear that due to the vast devastation of the tornado that struck almost one year prior, Building Inspectors were needed. Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development explained that the staff in Community Development is fully cross trained which allowed for some employees to go to Washington, IL , while leaving other qualified co-workers to work in the City. She then introduced Chris Teresi, who is a permit coordinator for The City of Lake Forest and recently certified as a Residential Plans Examiner and a Residential Inspector. Ms. Teresi stated that on November 17, 2013 an F4 tornado destroyed or damaged over 1100 homes and 4 businesses in Washington IL, a town with a population of just over 15,000. She said that there are over 600 tornado damage-related permits that have been submitted and more were coming each day. She said that Washington had only one Inspector, who is 87 years old, and he is doing his best to cover the volume of inspections with the urgency needed to the best of his ability. Many other communities responded by sending Inspectors and there are volunteers lined up through July to help. Ms. Teresi said she expected that help would be needed through the end of the year. She added that the few residents that remain in these neighborhoods have contended with long days filled with the noise and disruption of countless homes being rebuilt or finally demolished. She reported that very few trees remain in these established neighborhoods that once had mature trees lining the streets and properties. She shared images of the tornados destruction. She concluded by thanking the Mayor, the City Manager and Catherine Czerniak for responding to the request to assist a city in need, to her coworkers who provided additional coverage during their absence, and expressed her gratefulness for the opportunity to be a small part in the recovery effort. 29 Proceedings of the June 19, 2014 Regular City Council Meeting COMMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS None OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS None ITEMS FOR OMNIBUS VOTE CONSIDERATION 1.

ORDINANCES None. NEW BUSINESS 1. Discussion on Water Plant Operations and Request to Modify the Scope of Services for the Water Plant Performance Study. Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works, reported to the Council that Staff is seeking approval to modify the scope of services for the water plant performance study. He added that at its 30 Proceedings of the June 19, 2014 Regular City Council Meeting February 18, 2014 City Council meeting, City Council approved a professional services agreement with Strand Associates to perform a detailed study of the plant operation and provide assistance in developing a ten year capital plan. The study was to be substantially completed by September, 2014 and such findings were to be incorporated into the F.Y. 2016 capital improvement budget. Mr. Thomas stated that in early May, 2014, the City received a letter from the plant’s filter vendor, AquaSource, noting that the company had decided to no longer produce the filters used at Lake Forest’s water plant. He said that the water plant is 10 years old as of April 24, and although it had come as a surprise, the City Council had been discussing water rates over the past eight months. One of the things the City Council directed Public Works to look at was what are the other filter companies on the market and how we (The City of Lake Forest) look at possibly expanding the water plant for more volume, as well not being tied down to one company that make the filters. Michael Thomas then introduced Brian Hackman of Strand and Associates who gave a review of what the study was initially going to do and what this request will focus on. • Provide specific procedures to optimize the entire membrane filter system • Conduct “performance tests” of the entire water plant to confirm the treatment capacity of the existing AquaSource system • Develop a prioritized maintenance plan • Develop improvements to help meet future expectations (e.g. production capacity vs. system demands/water sales) • Address past concerns and issues with the water treatment plant • Identify other process improvements (e.g., ancillary systems to maintain the membrane system performance) The proposed revised study for $105,900 would include the following tasks: • Summarize existing and future water system demands (included in the original task order) • Identify short term membrane system improvements using the existing AquaSource modules • Identify long term membrane system improvements through an evaluation of available replacement membrane filtration technologies • Identify non-membrane system needs within the water treatment plant infrastructure • Develop a 20 year capital needs plan and project phasing/sequencing to maintain water treatment plant production for the City Members of the City Council asked that Strand and Associates address additional concerns that include; investigate all options on filters, adjust the criteria based on current conditions and any anticipated conditions, define goals and expectations of the study. City Manager Robert Kiely added that at the time of building the Water Treatment Plant, it was based on cutting edge technology and in this circumstance it was the wrong aspect. The difference in a 10” and 18” was integrity and structural high packing density. He also reported that Staff has 31 Proceedings of the June 19, 2014 Regular City Council Meeting reached out to AquaSource to run another series of filters which would afford the City more time in identifying where the industry will more forward next.

Over the past several months, the City has completed a thorough process of conducting a parks and recreation software needs assessment and system selection. The remainder of this memorandum summarizes the activities conducted by the City, with assistance provided by Plante Moran, which has resulted in the City Selection Committee’s recommendation of the preferred finalist vendor. CURRENT SITUATION OVERVIEW The mission of the Software Replacement Project was to provide an integrated Parks and Recreation system that will support City staff in the delivery of services and activities, take advantage of best practices, and significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of customer service and business processes. To develop a leadership structure for the project, the City established a Steering Committee to support the software selection process and key decisions related to it. The Steering Committee included participation by key stakeholders representing parks and recreation, information technology, and finance process areas. Additionally, through a Project Charter the Steering Committee established the following objectives for the successful completion of the Parks and Recreation Software Replacement Project:  Replace core Parks and Recreation systems (CLASS) and shadow systems with a web/internet based, transaction based, integrated Parks and Recreation system.  Have more effective business processes & replace paper-oriented processes using e-forms, document imaging and workflow.  Protect and enhance the functionality that is currently available to City employees.  Provide better front-end services by improving back-end services & systems.  Incorporate fully integrated Parks and Recreation "best business practices"  Develop a system that is user-friendly and empowers departments to improve their business processes and reporting capability  Add and improve functionality in back-office functional areas  Improve quality and accessibility of information for business process planning decision support  Eliminate paper-based workflow processes and forms  Reduce redundant “shadow systems”, data entry, storage, and paper processing  Improve operational effectiveness and productivity  Enable specific strategic planning initiatives (e.g. e-Government), including enhanced customer service and web/customer self-service  Reduce the number of systems we own and support and their related costs by retiring existing legacy and back office "systems" and tools  Increase the City’s ability for greater use of mobile applications/devices 37 -2- SOFTWARE SELECTION SUMMARY During the month of January, a series of interviews were conducted with City staff to identify software needs for a new integrated recreation management solution as well as functional gaps in the City’s current recreation management systems. Interviews were conducted with stakeholders from Parks and Recreation as well as other City departments who have similar functional needs that may be satisfied through recreation software including CROYA and Senior Services. The information compiled through these interviews was referenced along with other background information provided by the City to prepare a Needs Assessment report which was presented to the City Manager prior to proceeding to the Request for Proposal (RFP) development and selection phase of the project. The Needs Assessment report included several key findings and opportunities which supported the City’s belief that the current system did not satisfy its requirements. Plante Moran summarized several formal recommendations to the City in the report which included replacing the current system. Following authorization to proceed to the selection phase, the information compiled through the stakeholder interviews was used as the major source of input into the development of a draft Request for Proposal (RFP). The RFP was significantly detailed to document the City requirements for a new recreation management system. In addition to system requirements, the RFP included minimum proposal criteria, described the criteria for initial proposal evaluation and established finalist vendor selection activities and criteria. The City established a Selection Committee and a evaluation process prior to issuing an RFP. The Selection Committee would be responsible for scoring each proposal based on a defined set of criteria during multiple rounds of evaluation. After the City stakeholders reviewed and prioritized the draft software specifications, Plante Moran facilitated cross-functional specification review sessions to confirm the requirements to be incorporated into the RFP. Additionally, Plante Moran facilitated a work session to review and edit the draft RFP with participation of the Steering Committee in late February. Following this, the City’s Selection Committee performed a detailed review of the RFP and provided feedback which was incorporated into the final version. On March 7, 2014 the RFP was distributed to a significant number of recreation software providers which were identified by the project team. It was the intent of the City to select, if possible, a single turn-key vendor solution that would satisfy a significant portion of the City’s needs. The process included vendor Q&A, a pre- bid meeting, as well as multiple RFP addendums to clarify the City’s requirements. On April 21, 2014 four vendor responses were received and all four proposals were deemed to satisfy the minimum criteria and proceed onto further evaluation. The responses included: 1. ACTIVE Network 2. eTrak-plus 3. Vermont Systems 4. Volgistics The one-time and on-going prices of the qualified proposal responses ranged widely as did the overall solution scope. Additionally, there were varying levels of response to the proposal requirements that necessitated further review of the proposal responses to develop a more comparable analysis of the respondents. Plante Moran and the City Selection Committee conducted a detailed review of the proposals and Plante Moran presented an initial proposal analysis to the Selection Committee that included a comprehensive review of vendor responses related to software functionality, vendor background, costs provided by vendors, and compliance with requested contractual terms and conditions. In order to maximize the thoroughness in reviewing the most qualified solutions, a decision was made to conduct demonstrations from the top vendors that best met the City’s functional and budgetary requirements. On May 6, 2014 the City’s Selection Committee met to review the proposals, analysis materials and determine a short list of semi-finalist vendors. The Selection Committee used the selection 38 -3- criteria established in the RFP to score and determine that two vendors, eTrak-plus and Vermont Systems, would be invited to perform software demonstrations. In late May, both vendors were brought in for one-day software demonstrations. The Selection Committee and other City stakeholders who use the current recreation software participated in these demonstrations. Additional City staff participated in the demonstrations who currently do not use the CLASS software, but were interested in expanded functionality available in current integrated recreation software systems such as League Scheduling, Maintenance Management, Donation/Memorial Management. Following each of the vendor demonstrations, the Selection Committee met to debrief and discuss the feedback/evaluations as well as the observed strengths and weaknesses of the proposed solution and company. Following the second demonstration, the Selection Committee discussed high-level feedback relating to the vendor software demos and unanimously concluded that Vermont Systems offered a solution with the greater ability to satisfy the City’s most important needs. Because of this, it was determined that reference checking activities would be conducted to further evaluate Vermont Systems’ solution, implementation, and support services. City staff contacted three references (Wilmette Park District, IL; Durango Parks and Recreation, CO; and Cape Coral, FL) provided by Vermont Systems and obtained overall positive feedback related to their solution. The reference checking activities involved members of the City’s Selection Committee. The City intends to perform additional follow-up reference checks to further evaluate the vendor’s ability to interface the proposed solution with the City’s current SunGard HTE financial system. On June 10th, the Selection Committee reviewed the results of the reference checks conducted scored the two shortlisted vendors based on the Round 3 Evaluation Criteria identified in the RFP. Vermont Systems received the higher score and was unanimously determined by the City’s Selection Committee to be the preferred finalist vendor as summarized below:  eTrak-plus: 53.1 of 100 possible points  Vermont Systems: 77.9 of 100 possible points The City conducted high-level discussions with Vermont Systems and Plante Moran to determine which software modules would be appropriate to purchase in preparation for developing a Statement of Work (SOW) with associated pricing. The current anticipated software purchase includes the following recreation process areas (please note that not all functions will be satisfied through a dedicated module): 1. Activity Registrations 2. Court Reservations 3. Customer Management 4. Donation and Memorial Mgmt 5. Facility Reservations 6. League Scheduling 7. Pass and Memberships 8. Payment Processing & POS 9. Rental Management 10. Trip Reservations 11. Maintenance Management 12. Event Ticketing 13. Personal Trainer 14. Volunteer Management 15. Various Integrations Overall, Plante Moran’s Government Technology Consulting team endorses the process that the City has used to perform the selection and supports the recommendation of the City’s Selection Committee. 39 Project Executive Summary City of Lake Forest Recreation Software Replacement Project The Recreation Software Replacement Project began with a needs assessment phase to document deficiencies in the current system as well as to identify process improvement opportunities and key decisions to consider during the system selection phase. Following the needs assessment phase, the City of Lake Forest Recreation Software Replacement Project Selection Committee was provided several comprehensive proposal analysis documents which supported the review and evaluation of each vendor’s proposed solution.
