5. Open Forum
The City Council appreciates hearing from citizens about items of concern and desires to set aside
time during each meeting for Open Forum. To provide ample opportunity for all, speaking time is
limited to three minutes, and topic discussion is limited to 10 minutes. The Mayor may, as
presiding officer, extend the total time allowed for a topic. By rule, no action may be taken on any
item brought before the Council during Open Forum. The Council may place items discussed during
Open Forum onto subsequent council meeting agendas.
6. Regular Agenda
6.1 The Council will consider approval of disbursements of more than $25,000 submitted by the
finance department to the City Council, a list that is on file in the office of the finance
department.
Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,0 00.
6.2 The Council will consider approval of Amendment #1 to city agreement with Kraus-Anderson
Construction Company; for site services and reimbursables related to improvements at the
Crystal Cove Aquatic Center pool and building.
In January 2024, Kraus-Anderson was selected to manage the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center
project. The agreement had a fee placeholder that would be based on the actual
construction costs. Now that the project construction costs are known post-bid-opening,
staff recommends approval of an amendment to the construction management service
agreement to specify those fees.
6.3 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of watermain adapters for the
Joint Water Commission.
At its June 5 meeting, the Joint Water Commission approved the purchase of watermain
adapters to replenish the reserve stock parts. These adapters are used by JWC communities
as needed in the event there is a water main break. Because of the lead time in procuring
these parts, it is important to maintain a sufficient supply for each JWC community. While
Crystal will serve as the procurement agent for the purchase, the purchase will be funded
entirely by the JWC. Recommend approval.
6.4 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing an agreement with Questica LTD for
budgeting software services.
To address inefficiencies and shortcomings present in the city’s current operating budget
and LTP/CIP preparation process and systems, staff recommends the acquisition of a
unified budget and CIP platform that allows for ease of department request entry,
submittal, and evaluation, preparation of revenue and expenditure projections,
development of salary and benefit costs, creation and presentation of proposed and
adopted budget books and associated reports for int ernal and external users, as well as a
dynamic interactive public dashboard. Recommend adoption of resolution approving the
purchase of Questica Budget Software.
