Ad -Hoc Committee <br />Q — Establish an ad-hoc committee for Mt. Vernon and Santa Ana River Project Areas? <br />A — The Agency Board recommended that ad-hoc committees be established to help identify <br />and prioritize projects in the two project areas with substantial capital project funding: <br />Mt. Vernon and Santa Ana River. The suggested appointments were noted as follows: <br />Mt. Vernon Kelly Chastain, Karl Gaytan, James Grimsby <br />Santa Ana River Deirdre Bennett, John Hutton, Betty Cook <br />Agency staff will convene working groups to commence the project identification. <br />Performance Measures <br />Q — How will we evaluate performance measures? <br />A — A quarterly synopsis from department heads will be submitted to the City Manager <br />commencing September 1998. Benchmarks will be established, as well as milestones. <br />This information will then be presented to the City Council by October 1998 and <br />quarterly thereafter. The performance measurements will move from an aggregate to a <br />unit measurement in subsequent budget years. The budget will be fine tuned in the <br />future in which we shall move from aggregate to unit of measurements of performance. <br />Bank Fees <br />Q — What are the bank fees in the customer services division? <br />A — These are bank charges for rent of the credit card machines, as well as, per transaction <br />usage or acceptance of a credit card or debt charge. A meeting has been set with the <br />bank manager and service representative in order to review the current charges and <br />negotiate a new agreement. Any savings obtained through the new agreement will be <br />reviewed and presented to Council at mid -year. <br />Patrol Vehicles <br />Q — Why is there no funding for patrol vehicle replacements, can we budget for two and <br />have a phase in program? <br />A — The City has purchased fifteen vehicles over the last three years. Currently, we have <br />five patrol vehicles on order, which are anticipated to be received by July 1998. <br />Therefore, it was determined that funds could be budgeted in fiscal year 1999-00 to <br />replace the three year old vehicles or those with the highest mileage. It is anticipated <br />that this item can be revisited at mid -year and a replacement schedule presented at that <br />time. <br />
