An Ordinance amending Chapter 35, “ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Section 35-1203, “DEFINITIONS,” by enacting new subsections (31a) and (112a) for the definitions of “Building Mounted Solar Systems” and “Freestanding Solar Systems,” respectively; and Section 35-3415, “ACCESSORY TRANSPORTATION AND UTILITY LAND USES,” by repealing said section in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Section 35-3415 dealing with the same subject matter.
Explanation: With recent proposed projects related to solar panels facing hurdles, the Land Development Manager worked with the Historic Preservation and Plan Commissions to find ways to encourage green economic development. The changes also decrease the time needed for City approvals by removing special use permit requirements for projects located in the downtown historic district. Other changes related to flat roof mounted and wall mounted systems have been included since they were not previously discussed and projects of this type have been proposed.

A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement for the construction and maintenance of an integrated P25 emergency radio tower system in Rock Island County, Illinois; and authorizing all appropriate City of Moline officers and staff to do all things necessary to complete each of the City’s responsibilities pursuant to the Intergovernmental Agreement.
Explanation: Explanation: Rock Island County and the municipalities of Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, Silvis and Milan, in conjunction with Scott County, Iowa, put out bids to vendors to build a P25 radio system that would serve the entire Quad Cities area. In order to proceed with the project, an Intergovernmental Agreement was prepared to formalize the relationship of the Illinois agencies and establish a means of financing, paying, managing and completing construction of the project. The total cost of the project is $5,873,956.55. Moline’s share is $1,574,436.92, of which $775,031.00 is payable in 2019. City staff proposes funding the 2019 cost as follows: Unallocated Equipment Replacement Funds $49,465; Unbudgeted New Video Gaming Fee Revenue $163,400; General Fund Reserves $562,166. Additional documentation attached.
Staff Recommendation: Approval

3. Council Bill/Resolution 1062-2019
A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement with Marco Technologies, LLC for the purchase of cameras, and associated hardware and software to retain surveillance footage, in the amount of $61,453.64, with an annual maintenance fee of up to $4,976.84 for each FY 2019, 2020 and 2021, with funds coming from the information technology reserve fund.
Explanation: The current Police Department cameras were installed in 2006 and are at the end of their useful life, both inside and outside. New technology will allow the City to go from analog to digital cameras; therefore, it is not practical to retain the few cameras that are still working. The existing hardware and software must be upgraded in order to have the capability to retain the desired video surveillance footage. Information Technology Funds will be used for this unbudgeted purchase. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: $66,430.48
