INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMO
DATE : August 20, 2013
TO : Martha Bennett, Finance Director &Acting Purchasing Director
FROM : Ross Buzzuro, Chief of Police
SUBJECT : Replacement of Vehicle (Shop 830), Four-wheel Drive Tahoe
On July 17, 2013 the Ocean City Police Department sustained the loss of one of the
Departments four-wheel drive vehicles as a result of a traffic collision. Vehicle number
(Shop) 830, a 2005 four-wheel drive Chevrolet Tahoe, was declared a total loss as a
result of the damage from the collision.
The Department utilizes four-wheel drive vehicles for routine patrol as well as responds
to needs that occur on the beach throughout the year. The specific capabilities of a four-
wheel drive vehicle become more evident and critical to the operation as the Town
moves to allow civilian four-wheel drive vehicles on the beach in the winter months. In
addition, the Department utilizes four-wheel drive vehicles during weather events such
as snow, tropical storms and high tides that create standing water in low level areas of
the Town. I would also like to point out that Shop 830 was equipped with a tow package.
The vehicle was utilized to routinely tow a cargo trailer for special events and applicant
testing processes that occur throughout the year.
The Police Department requests the ability to replace the damaged 2005 Chevrolet
Tahoe (Shop 830) with a 2014 Chevy Tahoe four-wheel drive equipped with a tow
package.
Thank you for your consideration to this request.

SUMMARY: Due to the nature of many of our purchases, such as ourdiscussions today on storm drain grates/frames/pipes, simpleunit price solicitations cause us to exceed the presetpurchasing dollar values that are denoted in Section 2.3 of thecurrent Manual, thus triggering the need for formal presentationto the Mayor and City Council.
I would like the support of the Mayor and City Council, theFinance Director, and the future Procurement Manager to changethis stance.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no monetary impact, but the potential exists tostreamline the entire administrative process of unit pricepurchasing without sacrificing competitiveness or efficiency in the
expenditure of the funds we are entrusted to manage.
RECOMMENDATION: Provide staff with your support on creating a unit pricepurchasing policy as part of the forthcoming comprehensiveupdate to the Purchasing Policies and Procedure Manual.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not consider changing current policy.

SUBJECT: REQUEST TO PURCHASE BOARDWALK FIBER OPTIC EQUIPMENT AND CONNECTIONS
USING STATE CONTRACT
DATE: 8/20/2013
CC: COUNCIL AGENDA, NANCY BLOXOM, ROBERT MORAND
The Boardwalk reconstruction project includes installation of a fiber optic network system forthe length of the boardwalk from Caroline Street to 27 th Street. The conduit and cable were installedas part of the boardwalk general construction contract. Additional network storage and servers have
also been purchased. The final step is to light the fiber system and install cameras. In order toaccomplish this, a fiber demark (ie the location where the fiber line connects to our broadbandwireless network) must be established, the fiber optic lines need to be cut, polished and spliced ateach cameral location, then a distribution panel, media conversion box, and connection cable mustbe run from the main fiber trunk to the camera location and finally the cameras must be mountedand connected.
The staff does not have the technical expertise to draft a detailed bid document for this work,therefore we can either
1) hire a consultant to design and specify the required equipment and installation proceduresthen bid the actual labor and equipment or
2) We can utilize an existing State of Maryland contract currently in place for Cable and WiringServices for Outside Plant (RFP #060B1400067). This contract was specifically created bythe state to handle complex exterior fiber optic cable work. The contract has hourly and unitprices for fiber network design and installation services.
Royal Plus Electric holds the State Contract for this work. We have had some preliminarymeetings with Royal Plus to discuss the necessary work for the boardwalk. I would likepermission to contract with Royal Plus using the Maryland State Contract provisions and UnitPrices for an amount not to exceed $100,000 to be paid for from the Boardwalk Project

RE: Off-Road Vehicles on Beach in the OffSeasonDATE: August 20, 2013
ISSUE(S): Allowing public vehicle access on the beach during the offseason.
SUMMARY: Council has requested that the staff report on the feasibility of
allowing vehicles on the beach during the off season, primarilyfor surf fishing.
FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue neutral, permit fees expected to cover expenses.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not allow vehicles on the beach.

SUBJECT: VEHICLES ON BEACH IN OFF-SEASON
DATE: 8/21/2013
CC: CHIEF BUZZURO, CAPTAIN ARBIN, MATT MARGOTTA, TOM SHUSTER, HAL ADKINS,
THOMAS DY, ERIC LAGSTROM, RON HUMPHRESS
As requested by the Mayor and City Council, the staff has discussed the possibility of allowingvehicles on the beach in the off season, primarily for the purpose of surf fishing. The followingpersonnel were involved in this discussion:
Police Chief Buzzuro, Police Captain Kirstein, Beach Patrol Captain Arbin, Planning DirectorMargotta, Recreation and Parks Director Shuster, Public Works Director Adkins, Public WorksSupervisor Dy, Risk Manager Lagstrom, City Surveyor Humphrees, and myself.
Although the group agreed that allowing some type of program for over sand vehicles (OSV) onthe beach is feasible in concept, Beach Patrol and Police are opposed to it. The primary concern isthat unlike Assateague Island or the Delaware State Parks that allow public vehicles on their beach,Ocean City is fully developed on the ocean front. On the Assateague/DE beaches that allow OSVuse, the primary beach users in the OSV area are the OSVs themselves. There is little to no conflictwith other beach users, in particular there is little to no east/west pedestrian traffic crossing the OSVtravel area. In Ocean City, vehicles traveling up and down the beach would be in conflict withpedestrians walking along the beach and more critically, with pedestrians crossing to and from the
beach.
Other concerns with an OSV Program are:
Difficulty in controlling access, we have 13 potential vehicle access points to the beach. Enforcement concerns: the Police do not regularly patrol the beach in the off season
and there is a lack of 4x4 vehicles at the Police Dept.
Environmental concerns (fuel spills, dune damage etc) Complaints from ocean front properties. Sand is much looser than Assateague and we tend to have steeper drop offs especially
during the winter, we should expect problems with inexperienced drivers getting stuckor worse.
The annual Surf Anglers tournament is a once a year, highly organized, members only event thatconsists of experienced OSV operators.

If the Mayor and Council still wish to pursue an OSV program, the staff would recommend aone year only pilot program as follows:
Dates: November 1 Through March 30 (same as horseback riding), excluding Holidays Days: Monday thru Friday only, to minimize conflicts with other beach users Times: 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, minimize vehicles on the beach after dark Locations: Between 27th Street and 94th Street only. There are no access points along the
boardwalk and no access points in the condo row area.
How Many Permits Issued: Unlimited Who issues permits: Recreation Dept. Cost of Permit: $75/yr (Assateague is $90, DE is $70 in State, $125 out of State), permit will
require license and registration. Will have to acknowledge receipt and reading of rules andregulations, waive City liability, and be responsible for any damage to the beach includingfuel spills. Failure to obey rules/regulations results in loss of permit with no refund plusapplicable fines.
Must be actively engaged in fishing? Staff does not believe this should be required, it will bedifficult to enforce and staff sees no difference between a vehicle on the beach for fishing,versus one parked for surfing or simply spending some time in the sun.
Stuck or disabled vehicle: Owner will have two hours to have a tow truck remove thevehicle, after that City will remove and take to impound lot
Other Requirements: Staff suggests that the City follow similar guidelines and regulations asenforced on Assateague Island including:
o Vehicles must be registered and licensed, no trailers and no ATVs allowedo Each vehicle must contain minimum equipment. If a vehicle gets stuck on the beach
and does not possess the required equipment, fine is $75 per piece of missingequipment.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: DAVID RECOR, CITY MANAGER
FROM: TERENCE MCGEAN, CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: CONTINUED CIP DISCUSSION AND UPCOMING BOND ISSUE
DATE: 8/21/2013
CC: MARTHA BENNETT, HAL ADKINS, TOM SHUSTER, MATT MARGOTTA
During the August 13, 2013 presentation of the draft Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), theCouncil raised a couple of concerns and requested some additional information as follows:
1. Status of the 3rd and 4th Street Park lease agreement with the County. On December 3, 2009Worcester County presented a revised lease proposal to the Mayor and Council. The revisedproposal deleted some clauses the Town had found objectionable in the Countys originalproposed lease and extended the lease term from 15 years to 25 years. Because the projecthad been delayed indefinitely by the time this revised lease was received, and because thelease term was for only 25 years, the Mayor and Council voted not to accept the lease and toreaddress the lease issue when and if the park improvement project moved forward. A copyof the lease signed by the County, but not the City, was in the official files which accountsfor the confusion on the status of the lease at the August 13 work session.
2. Timing of the next bond issue vs. design of Beach Patrol Headquarters. On September 17,2012 the Mayor and Council unanimously voted to expend funds for the Convention Centerand reimburse the expenditure through a future bond issue. To date we have spent $626,181on the project. Construction is expected to begin in late September and the City can expect
to have spent a total of approximately $1,000,000 by the end of the end of the calendar year.Finance Director Martha Bennett advises that $1,000,000 in expenditures is the level atwhich point she would like reimbursement with bond proceeds. Therefore, the previouslystated target date for a bond sale remains the end of the year.
Councilman Dare noted his concern regarding borrowing funds for the Beach PatrolHeadquarters Building prior to design. I share these concerns, which is why I requested tobegin the process of selecting an architect and beginning design of this facility in April.Although the Council approved proceeding with the design of the facility on April 30 and Isubsequently prepared the Request for Proposals for design services and was prepared toreceive these proposals in June, due to concerns from the Mayor and Council regarding theproposed building location I have indefinitely delayed receiving the design proposals.
If the Mayor and Council wish to include a Beach Patrol Headquarters building at theproposed OCDC Parking Lot location in the upcoming bond issue, then I would suggest thefollowing:
Immediately authorize staff to receive design proposals and hire an architect

Include the Beach Patrol Building in the Bond at $2 million with the understandingthat this is a maximum amount and could be reduced or even eliminated betweenthe initial ordinance and the actual bond sale.
Between now and November 8 I believe I can have an architect on board and apreliminary design completed to the point where there would be a high level of
confidence in the cost estimate. The final bond amount could then be adjusteddownward if warranted based on the actual design and cost estimate or, the projectremoved from the bond sale. The cost to proceed with the design to that levelwould be under $40,000
If the location of the proposed Beach Patrol Building is still undecided or if there is a desire toinclude other functions or departments in the facility that could materially affect the size of thebuilding, then the project should not be included in the bond sale as there are too many unknowns toestablish any sort of reasonable cost estimate in the time allowed. The project would then be delayeduntil the City decides to go back to the bond market, probably at least 2 years.
The next step for the Mayor and Council is to amend and approve the CIP and select which, if
any, additional projects beyond the three previously approved (Convention Center Auditorium,Public Safety Building Roof and Service Center Roof) they would like to include in the upcomingbond issue. In an effort to facilitate this discussion, I have prepared a table showing a summary ofprojects and debt service impacts to consider.
I look forward to continuing this discussion on the 27th.
