In order to capture the lost gas tax revenue, staff is proposing to adopt a gas use tax on the use of gas from alternatives gas supplier’s customers who purchase therms transported from out-of-state. The municipal gas use tax will not apply to any business certified by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity under Chapter 35 ILCS § 120/1f. Additional documentation attached.

Fiscal Impact: Funds available in the Liability Fund Public Notice/Recording: N/A 5. Council Bill/Resolution 1167-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with USI Insurance for liability, property and workers’ compensation insurance for a period of one year commencing on December 31, 2016. Explanation: A request for proposals was published, and the proposal provided by USI Insurance was determined to be the most advantageous to the City and in the City’s best interest. USI Insurance is the current broker for the City’s liability, property and workers’ compensation insurance. They have submitted an agreement to provide coverage from December 31, 2016, through December 31, 2017. At $773,842, the proposal is $67,337 less than the amount budgeted for 2017. Of note, the 2017 premium is $30,628 less than what was paid in 2016. The City received a second proposal in response to the RFP, in the amount of $781,646. While the second proposal had greater coverage in a few areas, overall USI’s proposal is the most beneficial to the City, specifically in the areas of catastrophic physical damage to vehicles and contractor’s equipment (replacement value vs. depreciated value), garagekeeper’s liability ($1,000,000 vs. $100,000), public officials aggregate ($2,000,000 vs. $1,000,000), umbrella coverage and more control over the handling of and expenses related to litigation. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: Sufficient funding is available in the Liability Fund. Public Notice/Recording: N/A 6. Council Bill/Resolution 1168-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Moline and the Cities of East Moline, Rock Island and Silvis, the Village of Milan and the County of Rock Island, Illinois (“Jurisdictions”), to allow the communities to submit a joint application to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for establishment of a Quad City Enterprise Zone to commence on January 1, 2018. Explanation: The current Quad City Enterprise Zone, established in 1988, and as amended, expires on March 28, 2018. Bi-State Regional Commission is assisting the Enterprise Zone’s member communities, comprised of the Cities of Moline, East Moline, Rock Island and Silvis, the Village of Milan and the County of Rock Island, Illinois (“Jurisdictions”), in applying for a new Enterprise Zone. That process requires approval of 1) an ordinance to affirm the establishment of an Enterprise Zone, and 2) a resolution for an Intergovernmental Agreement to allow the Jurisdictions to submit a joint application to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (“DCEO”) for establishment of a new Enterprise Zone. In 2014, the Jurisdictions entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement to allow them to submit a joint application to DCEO for establishment of a new Quad City Enterprise Zone, however, the application was not granted. The Jurisdictions still seek to create a new Enterprise Zone and therefore wish to enter into the attached Intergovernmental Agreement to allow them to submit a joint application to DCEO for establishment of a new Quad City Enterprise Zone, as legally described in the Agreement’s exhibit, commencing January 1, 2018. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: N/A Public Notice/Recording: N/A 7.

Council Bill/Resolution 1170-2016 A Resolution authorizing the IT Manager to purchase three Tegile ESH-25 Expansion Shelves from CDW-G. Explanation: The City’s Storage Area Network (SAN) resources are nearing capacity. The most cost effective method of adding capacity is to add hybrid expansion shelves to the Tegile SAN that was purchased in 2016. Staff budgeted $42,000.00 in 2017 for this purchase and CDW-G is the preferred reseller for Tegile products. Staff recommends purchase of three Tegile ESH-25 Expansion shelves, along with the required professional installation and annual maintenance and support, for a total cost of $40,750.00. Additional documentation is attached. Fiscal Impact: $40,750.00 from 443-0425-417.07-02 Public Notice/Recording: N/A 9. Council Bill/Resolution 1171-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Information Technology Manager to pay Guy M. Cahill & Associates Inc. for fiber optics consulting services. Explanation: Beginning in January, 2015, City and Moline School District staff met regularly in an attempt to jointly procure dark fiber network and internet service provision (ISP) services for both entities. It was eventually determined that a joint venture would not work due to funding and organizational complexities and the District hired Guy Cahill as a consultant due to his expertise in school district finances, fiber optics technology, and Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) agreements. The District’s result was a long-term agreement for both services with significant savings. City staff subsequently negotiated with Guy Cahill to provide expedited, similar services in order to take advantage of the market and pending construction season. A “not to exceed” cost of $14,400.00 was established for estimated services but additional services for detailed fiber route planning, facility touring, and meeting management were requested in order to adequately complete the RFP process, resulting in a total cost of $18,836.76. Mr. Cahill’s work resulted in contracts which yield annual savings of $38,600 compared to existing ISP and fiber services, with greatly enhanced network performance. Additional documentation is attached. Fiscal Impact: $14,731.76 in 010-0523-412.03-22; $4,105.00 in 443-0425-417.03-22 Public Notice/Recording: N/A 10. Council Bill/Resolution 1172-2016 A Resolution amending Budget Resolution #1148-2015 by authorizing changes to various line items in the budget for FY 2016. Explanation: Budget amendments are compiled periodically throughout the fiscal year and presented to City Council for approval. These amendments are proposed to reflect recent changes to the current budget that avoid any adverse affect to the City’s legal budgetary compliance. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: N/A Public Notice/Recording: N/A 11. Council Bill/Resolution 1173-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement for Preliminary Engineering Services with Missman Inc. for Phase II design services related to the Federal Grant Resurfacing Project. Explanation: The City of Moline is the recipient of $2,839,190 in Federal transportation funds to resurface River Drive from 23rd – 34th Streets, 12th Avenue from 34th – 53rd Streets, and 16th Street from John Deere Road – 52nd Avenue. The City must provide a 20% match to the grant funds which brings the total estimated project cost to $3,555,000. Current workloads prevent City staff from performing the required Phase II engineering to develop plans and specifications to solicit bids for the work. Council entered into a $252,059 contract with Missman Inc. in August of 2016 to perform Phase I engineering work for the project. The Phase I work is nearing completion and the estimated final cost of the Phase I work is expected to be approximately $175,000. Given Missman’s recent experience with this type of work, their familiarity with this specific project, and the City’s past satisfactory relationship with Missman Inc., staff finds Missman Inc. to be the most qualified firm to provide Phase II engineering services. Missman Inc. proposes to provide Phase II engineering at standard hourly rates for the not-to-exceed price of $217,703. Staff has reviewed the proposal and finds the proposed 1,688 man hours to be reasonable given the scope of the work required. The estimated Phase I and Phase II engineering costs total 10.3% of the estimated construction cost. This is less than the customary 12% - 15% range for similar projects. When budgeting for 2017, staff and Illinois Department of Transportation intended to fund the Phase II design work through the Federal grant, meaning that the Federal grant would fund 80% of the design cost ($174,162) and the City’s Motor Fuel Tax allocation would fund the other 20% ($43,541). Illinois Department of Transportation advises, however, that it is currently taking from 6 to 9 months to receive approval to use Federal funds for engineering services. Waiting for this approval will delay construction until at least the 2018 construction season. To prevent this delay, staff proposes to use only Motor Fuel Tax funds for Phase II engineering and forgo the use of Federal funds. Motor Fuel Tax funds are not budgeted for this purpose in 2017, however are available in Reserves. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: This is an unbudgeted expense; however sufficient Motor Fuel Tax funds are available for this work. Public Notice/Recording: N/A 12. Council Bill/Resolution 1174-2016 A Resolution authorizing approval of a Resolution for Improvement by Municipality under the Illinois Highway Code for Motor Fuel Tax Section 14-00256-00-RS, Federal Resurfacing Project Phase 2 Engineering. Explanation: A Resolution for Improvement is necessary to use Motor Fuel Tax funds for Phase 2 engineering for the Federal Resurfacing Project. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: Funds are not budgeted; however sufficient Motor Fuel Tax funds are available for this work. Account #220-9851-436.08-10 has been set up for this work. Public Notice/Recording: N/A 13. Council Bill/Resolution 1175-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement for Professional Services with Missman Inc. for design services related to Project #1274, 16th Viaduct Pier Repairs and 52nd Avenue Bridge deck Replacement. Explanation: The 2017 Capital Improvement Program includes funds to design and make repairs to the piers on the 16th Street viaduct and to replace the bridge deck on the 52nd Avenue bridge east of 16th Street. The Phase 2 design work requires the expertise and stamp of a licensed structural engineer, neither of which can be provided by City staff. Missman Inc. proposes to provide Phase 2 design services for the 2017 bridge work at standard hourly rates for the not-to-exceed price of $90,000. Staff has reviewed the proposal and finds it to be reasonable given the scope of the work required. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: $860,000 is budgeted in 2017 in Account #510-9965-438.08-20, Utility Tax, Bridge Projects, for design and construction. Public Notice/Recording: N/A 14. Council Bill/Resolution 1176-2016 A Resolution authorizing approval of a Change Order with Treiber Construction for Project #1258, Parking Lot at 12th St and 4th Avenue, in the amount of $227,328.99. Explanation: Project #1211, 40th Street Reconstruction South of 32nd Avenue, was added to the 2016 Capital Improvement Program in January of 2016 with 2015 General Fund surplus funds. By August of 2016, it became apparent that the private utility companies would not have their conflicting infrastructure relocated in time to complete the reconstruction project during the 2016 construction season. As such, the decision was made to delay the project until 2017. Council subsequently directed staff to increase the amount of funding available for the 2016 Pavement Patching Program by utilizing funds allocated for the 40th Street project. Treiber Construction is under contract with the City of Moline to construct the Multi-Modal Station parking at 4th Avenue and 12th Street. This project was also delayed until 2017 due to AT&T’s inability to relocate their cellular tower from the site until January of 2017. Treiber agreed to perform pavement patching in the Wildwood Subdivision at the 2016 Pavement Patching unit prices by adding the work as a change order to Project #1258. Additional pavement patching was completed with the 40th Street funds as part of the 2017 Pavement Patching Program and will come to Council in the future as a change order. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: Surplus funds from the 2015 budget are available for this change order in Account 510-9957-438.04-25, CIP, Contractual Repairs. Public Notice/Recording: N/A 15. Council Bill/Resolution 1177-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the purchase of a Trimble S5-3” Robotic Total Station from Precision Midwest. Explanation: The Engineering Division’s surveying workload continues to grow with the requirements of the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA), the increased number of capital projects resulting from Utility Tax and grant funds, and requests for survey work from other Departments. The workload now requires that Engineering regularly utilize two sets of electronic surveying equipment. Engineering currently has two total stations. The primary unit is a one-man, robotic total station purchased in 2015 and the secondary unit was purchased in the mid-1990s and requires a two-man crew. The secondary unit is well beyond its useful life, is no longer accurate or reliable, and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Staff proposes to replace the secondary unit with a Trimble S5-3” robotic total station from Precision Midwest for $38,006.87. This unit is identical to the one purchased in 2015 and allows for a one-man survey crew in most applications which allows existing staff to accomplish work more efficiently and at lower labor costs. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: $45,000 is budgeted in 2017 for this purchase in Account #510-9957-438.07-50, Capital Improvements, Other Capital Equipment Public Notice/Recording: N/A 16. Council Bill/Resolution 1178-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to approve of a request for an additional street light on 13th Street A, between 18th Avenue and 19th Avenue. Explanation: Staff received a request for an additional street light on 13th Street A, between 18th Avenue and 19th Avenue. An investigation revealed that the distance between existing street lights is approximately 560’ and an additional street light is justified under the Residential Street Light Policy. Fiscal Impact: Annual cost of a street light is approximately $93. $475,000 is budgeted for street lights in account #010-0843-435.04-16, Traffic Signal Maintenance, Utility Service. Public Notice/Recording: N/A Omnibus Vote Non - Consent Agenda Resolutions 17. Council Bill/Resolution 1179-2016 A Resolution directing the City Administrator’s designee to modify the non-union employee group benefit package to incorporate the changes as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto relating to health benefits. Explanation: The City currently provides two (2) health insurance plans, the Choice Plus 80/60 plan (formerly known as Choice) and the Choice Plus 90/70 (formerly known as Select) to eligible employees and retirees. In 2015 and 2016, an employee or retiree’s participation in the voluntary wellness program has been the determining factor in which health insurance plan he or she is eligible to be enrolled. Due to the issuance of new guidelines by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding wellness programs, the City will no longer be able to determine health insurance plan enrollment based on participation in the voluntary wellness program in 2017. City staff has met with the employee health committee and union leadership regarding the new EEOC guidelines and discussed cost saving options. Staff recommends the Choice Plus 90/70 Plan not be offered for the 2017 Plan Year, and all non-union employees and retirees be enrolled in the Choice Plus 80/60 Plan at the previously approved premium amounts. This is projected to save the City approximately $186,119 in 2017 for all union and non-union plan participants, due to the decrease in employee benefits related to a higher maximum out of pocket and higher co-insurance. It should be noted that the chiropractic benefit has a different co-insurance. The existing chiropractic benefit for the Choice Plus 80/60 Plan is 80% paid by the City versus the 70% paid by the City on the Choice Plus 90/70 Plan. Additionally, the unions have all agreed to discuss plan changes and other ways to control long term health care costs starting with the 2018 Plan Year in early 2017. City staff would proceed with those discussions after getting direction from Council. Additional documentation attached.

Council Bill/Resolution 1180-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement for Professional Services with Missman Inc. for design services related to Project #1269, 9th Avenue Reconstruction, 27th – 29th Streets. Explanation: The 2017 Capital Improvement Program includes funds to reconstruct 9th Avenue from 27th to 29th Streets. This project requires the installation of a retaining wall approximately 150’ long on the south side of 9th Avenue. The retaining wall design work requires soil borings and the expertise of a licensed, structural engineer, neither of which can be provided by City staff. Missman Inc. proposes to provide retaining wall design services for Project #1269 at standard hourly rates for the not-to-exceed price of $20,000. Staff has reviewed the proposal and finds it to be reasonable given the scope of the work required. Additional documentation attached.

Explanation: As per Council direction at the October 11 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Moline Plan Commission held a public hearing November 9 to amend the Zoning and Land Development Code to remove the Plan Commission from the sidewalk and public improvement waiver/modification process. The proposed amendments would require review and recommendation from the Plan Commission only where waivers or modifications are requested as part of a preliminary subdivision plat.
