Please see attached responses to Tom Moore's questions regarding the warrant listing on tonight's
agenda, as well as a response to a question regarding Item F.
As always, please call if you have any additional questions. Also, I would appreciate it if you would
please let me know as soon as possible if you plan to pull any Consent Calendar items from the
agenda to ensure staff and the City Clerk are prepared for a Zoom presentation and there are
hopefully no technical challenges on Zoom tonight.
Thank you,

ITEM B:
Should the masks and wipes be identified in accounting as COVID/ emergency related?
FEMA came out with guidance that beginning on 9/15/20, PPE and disinfecting
supplies would no longer be reimbursable as they are now considered part of
everyday operations. They can only be considered for reimbursement if they are
directly related to responses tied to COVID-19. Because of this rule, it primarily
applies to medical aid responses.
What are the kiosks at City Hall for? Keeping in mind, the City would not want people touching things in
common during the pandemic, why would kiosks be needed at this time? Wouldn’t mobile app be a
better solution where people can use their own devices?
The Kiosks are for people who do not have computers or even mobile devices to
access the sites, which means they would not be able to access any City services
at home, including the new parking portal or sign up for recreation classes. The
parking portal can be accessed from any device that has internet access
anywhere in the world.
These Kiosks will give citizens two locations within the City to access the parking
portal to buy/revise permits, contest citations, and even pay citations. These
Kiosks will also assist in other processes as the City becomes more virtual. The
Kiosks will include all City services that are on the City’s website and will be
located on each floor of City Hall and at the PD. The Kiosks will also help when
we reopen these facilities since we will likely only be able to assist one person at
each counter at a time, and these Kiosks will provide an additional resource to
our customers. Finally, the Kiosks will be disinfected as needed.
ITEM F:
For the Task 6 for this scope of work, is 2 years ongoing operations and maintenance really necessary? Is
it possible to reduce this by half to one year to save some money as it doesn’t seem like much would
change after the implementation.
The 2-year O&M period is required per OCTA grant guidelines.
