Public Safety Committee Minutes .................................................................................................. ............................... June 5, 2017 <br />firefighters that had representation from every shift. Councilmember Quinn asked if the 2040 <br />recommendation incorporates seismic safety standards and staff confirmed that the City's <br />expectation is to exceed minimum standards. <br />Budget. <br />Councilmember Quinn stated that the information around market conditions and <br />subcontractors adding in additional contingencies is key information for the full Council to be <br />aware of. Chair McLeod asked if the market conditions will impact the budget for the Justice <br />Center as well, and staff confirmed that it is likely and will be discussed later this year or early <br />next year. The Committee asked if the staff proposal on cash flow management had been <br />approved by the City Attorney, and staff replied that the City Attorney and bond counsel have <br />both been asked to confirm and that information is expected soon. Councilmember Duffie <br />stated that he feels it important to keep to the commitment made to the voters and supports a <br />plan that achieves that. Chair McLeod asked fire representatives to comment on the 2040 plan, <br />and they replied that 2040 is deficient in a few areas such as storage, a training tower, a <br />community /training room, and a third bay at Station 52 and 54 each. Chair McLeod suggested <br />that a joint storage solution for fire and police could be addressed through this process. <br />Chair McLeod referenced suggestions from Council President Robertson on next steps on this <br />topic, including engaging the Program Management Quality Assurance (PMQA) provider and <br />scheduling up to two Council work sessions. Staff confirmed that the PMQA interviews were held <br />on June 1, 2017 and there was a unanimous recommendation from the panel. That firm will be <br />contacted to initiate the contract process, and could potentially be asked to weigh in on this <br />issue. Staff suggested that the Committee could recommend moving forward with schematic <br />design but continue to discuss the budget ramifications. The Committee could also recommend <br />moving forward with Station 51 only, while taking a little more time to discuss the other stations. <br />Councilmember Quinn suggested that if the cash flow management plan is approved, the Council <br />should have a legislative mechanism to ensure commitments are kept. Councilmember Duffie <br />spoke in favor of moving forward with Station 51, noting that the schedule needs to be <br />maintained as much as possible. The Committee did not make a recommendation and <br />requested staff further research the possibility of a work session in the near term. Staff will return <br />to Council with additional information and options, including a presentation of the 2040 plan <br />with the additions of a storage shed, training tower, 3rd bay, and training room as potential <br />options.
