What is this for? D. Strategic Plan Page B: Secure Funding for pier repairs Has SCE agreed to pay for the cost of installing a new transformer? How much has the CJPIA agreed to pay us for repairs? Will CJPIA pay to replace the restaurant? Page C: Hire an oil revenue recovery consultant. Staff is now stating that "Research continues, challenges are occurring with locating additional pipeline auditors." However, the public has presented the names of three consultants to the City, one of which is a former Operations Manager at the Long Beach Oil & Gas Department. Has staff fully evaluated these three consultants and ruled them out as not qualified? G. Fleet Replacement We are buying two Tacoma's from HB Toyota, but one for Police is priced at $33,358 and the other for Marine Safety at $36,120. Why are they priced differently? J. Animal Services Contract This contract expired almost 8 months ago. Why was this contract not renewed before its expiration? The P paragraph on the 1s` page states that the proposed increase for FY 16 -17 from $150,657 to $158,190 is "in keeping with the original Agreement to adjust costs based on ...CPI." However, this statement is not consistent with the following facts: 1) The original Agreement signed in 2010 had no provisions for increases based on CPI (see attachment). 2) The proposed increase for FY 16 -17 represents a 5% increase from FY 15 -16, unrelated to any measurement of inflation.
