Remove .5 FTE for Seniors Case Manager (Cook)
Remove statistically significant resident survey (Nagle)
Add $50,000 to CPCUP/UMD Homeownership grant program (Day)
Remove $20,000 for employee engagement survey (Nagle)
Schedule a Worksession to review City’s Homestead Tax Credit Rate (Nagle)
2 Discussion about raising the Pride Flag at City Hall
175 signatures on a change.org petition. Fly for one week in June. Flag pole does not
lend itself to this – instead hang flag on side of building as a banner. Message of
inclusivity. What about other groups that want to fly their flags? Who should decide:
M&C, Mayor, committee of residents, policy? City Clerk to survey other municipalities
for policies. Stullich to agenda – first full week in June, under City Hall sign.

3 Presentation on the Towne Place Suites development – Matt Tedesco and Dan
Hampton:
Preliminary Plan was filed in 2006-2007. Financing is tight. They want to reduce the
number of king rooms and add double queen rooms which will change footprint 4 feet on
south elevation to help secure financing. Proposed change requires a limited minor
amendment from Park and Planning staff. It will be referred to the City but not go to
Planning Board. Erosion and sediment measures are in place. 13-month construction.
Project goes through from US 1 to Autoville Drive – site is long and narrow and slopes
back. 2 story garage under building and 20 spaces at grade. 4 ½ - 5 stories on US 1.
Stullich to agenda.
4 Purchase of IT server refresh (will require a super majority) – Sarah Price, IT
Manager and Bill Gardiner, Assistant City Manager:
Currently have a number of individual servers and need new servers for new services.
They want to virtualize the servers which means buy a minimal number of servers that
contain different servers within them. This will make disaster recovery faster, will reduce
carbon footprint and electrical usage. This does not include the AS400. Two at City Hall
and one at Public Works. We have used this vendor before, received two other bids, this
is the low bidder. What about the power outage we had? We need to resolve that – either
add fiber at Public Works or install a generator at City Hall. Consent.
5 Discussion about the possibility of creating a Martin Luther King, Jr. Tribute
Committee
Tribute began as a grass roots effort in Lakeland 25 years ago and has grown steadily.
Now desire to create a standing City committee to continue the tradition. Acknowledge
involvement of schools (essays and artwork) to teach children about Dr. King’s legacy.
Return June 7 W/S with a resolution.
6 Discussion of allowing free parking during summer weeknights
Estimated loss of $18,000. To help restaurants and other downtown businesses that suffer
in the summer when students are gone. What about College Park Shopping Center? That
is a private lot. Explore tie-in with DCPMA and Shop College Park for coupons?
Consent.
7 Discussion of Worksession seating arrangements
Try a horseshoe shape open to the audience.
ADDED ITEM: Support for Four Cities Letter on the FBI relocation to Greenbelt Station:
Discussed at last Four Cities meeting in response to information that GSA is not using
proximity to Metro as a factor. Greenbelt has already sent a letter. Most recent draft
handed out. Add Glaros and Lehman to cc list. Consent.

CITY OF COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND
WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: Stephen Groh, Meeting Date: May 17, 2016
Director of Finance
Presented By: Leo L. Thomas, Jr., Proposed Consent Agenda: No
Deputy Director of Finance
Originating Department: Finance
Issue Before Council: Review of the budget Ordinance following the May 10 public hearing and prior to
adoption on May 24
Strategic Plan Goal: Excellent Services
Background/Justification:
For many years, we have scheduled a worksession discussion of the budget Ordinance the week prior to
adoption to determine if Council wants staff to write up any proposed amendments that may be introduced the
night of adoption. Having these proposed amendments written up in advance does not presuppose that the
amendments will be introduced or that other amendments could not be introduced. It simplifies the process for
Finance (to avoid having to make calculations “on the fly”) and makes it easier for the City Clerk in preparing
the minutes.
Fiscal Impact:
To be determined
Council Options:
#1: Council can propose budget amendments and staff will prepare a Proposed Amendment Motion for each.
#2: Council can ask questions of Finance staff regarding the budget.
#3: Council can accept the budget ordinance as drafted.
Staff Recommendation:
If amendments are made that would cause the budget to be unbalanced, Finance staff recommend that the
shortfall be deducted from the City Hall C.I.P. project transfer rather than by use of unassigned reserve.
Recommended Motion:
None

WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: Bill Gardiner
Assistant City Manager Meeting Date: May 17, 2016
Presented By: Sarah Price Proposed Consent Agenda: Yes
Information Technology Manager
Originating Department: Information Technology
Issue Before Council:
Approval of purchase contract of hardware (servers) and software to replace and
upgrade existing systems
Strategic Plan Goal: Goal 6: Excellent Services
Background/Justification:
The City currently uses separate, dedicated servers for various IT functions, such as hosting the website,
managing email, and printers, storing files, etc. Some of the servers are more than five years old.
“Server Virtualization” is a more efficient use of server resources. Software is used to divide one server into
multiple “virtual” servers. The City will avoid purchasing single servers each time we increase IT resources to
improve services, and will reduce the City’s carbon footprint. IT has been tasked with providing additional
processes and now is the best time to stop purchasing single servers and move to virtual servers.
The City has used the recommended vendor for numerous equipment purchases over the past few years, and
has been very satisfied with the product support. The firm is based in Kentucky but its Reston, VA office
supports College Park. The warranties for the equipment are from Lenovo and VMware. The vendor will install
and implement the equipment ($5,600). Payment occurs after the City has received the products. Three years
of product support for VMware is $2,946, and a summary of that support is attached.
Fiscal Impact:
The City received three quotes for purchasing the new virtual servers, and the lowest and recommended quote
is $77,560.90 (the other bids were $78,429 and $91,338). The vendor’s price is based on a “pre-negotiated
technology contract” with Kentucky that includes discounts for hardware, software, and maintenance.
However, the contract does not meet the City standard for a competitively bid process. Therefore, a super-
majority vote of the Council is required to authorize the purchase.
The City can use the I-NET funds provided via the cable franchise agreements to purchase the servers. The
funds are already budgeted in the following accounts:
CIP 301-8010-570.98-10 COMPUTER HARDWARE
011004 INSTITUTIONAL NETWORK/PEG
Council Options:
# 1: Authorize the purchase of server, VMware, and Lenovo storage equipment from DMD Data Systems,
as outlined in the attached quote for $77,560.90.
#2: Request additional information from staff and bring back the item at a future Worksession.
#3: Reject the purchase of virtual servers at this time.
13
Staff Recommendation:
Option 1.
Recommended Motion:
I move to authorize City staff to purchase the server, VMware, and Lenovo storage equipment as detailed in
the quote from DMD Data Systems for $77,560.90.

Lenovo Statement of Limited Warranty
L814-0010-00 8/2014
Part 1 – General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 - Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 -
Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. Part 3 (also called, “Warranty
Information”) includes product-specific information which ships with the Machine. For purposes of this Statement of
Limited Warranty, “Lenovo” means the Lenovo entity that provided your Machine to you or to your reseller.
The warranties provided by Lenovo in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply to Machine(s) listed in Part 3 Warranty
Information, when you purchase such Machine(s) for your use, and not for resale. The term “Machine” means a
hardware product identified by a Machine Type as well as its features, conversions or upgrades. The term “Machine”
does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently, or otherwise.
NOTHING IN THIS STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY AFFECTS ANY STATUTORY RIGHTS OF
CONSUMERS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED OR LIMITED BY CONTRACT.
This Statement of Limited Warranty is available, in multiple languages, at the following Lenovo Internet website:
http://www.lenovo.com/warranty/.
What this Warranty Covers
Lenovo warrants that each Machine is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use during the
warranty period.
During the warranty period, Lenovo provides repair and exchange service for the Machine under the type of warranty
service Lenovo designates for the Machine. The warranty period for the Machine is a fixed period of time unless
specified otherwise in the “Warranty Information” that ships with the Machine (for example, for certain Machines, the
warranty will be void if the Machine’s usage limitations are exceeded during the specified warranty period). The
warranty period, type of warranty service, and service level that apply to your Machine are designated in the “Warranty
Information” that ships with the Machine. Lenovo may require you to provide proof of purchase (for example, a copy of
your sales receipt or purchase invoice) to validate warranty entitlement.
If a Machine that Lenovo is responsible to install is not made available for Lenovo to install within six months from the
date Lenovo ships the Machine to you or the reseller, installation will be subject to a charge under a Services
agreement with Lenovo.
For a Machine that Lenovo is responsible to install, if you elect to install or service the Machine yourself, or if you
relocate the Machine or have a third party install, service or relocate the Machine, Lenovo reserves the right to inspect
the Machine before providing warranty Service on the Machine. Lenovo may, at its sole discretion, charge for the
inspection. If the Machine is not in an acceptable condition for warranty Service, as solely determined by Lenovo, you
may request that Lenovo restore it to an acceptable condition for Service or you may withdraw your request for
warranty Service. Lenovo, at its sole discretion, will determine if restoration is possible. Restoration is provided as a
billable Service. If specified, additional charges, such as transportation or special handling, may apply.
Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to Lenovo. A Lenovo part or
feature installed during the initial installation of a Lenovo Machine is subject to the Machine’s warranty period effective
on the Date of Installation (also called, “Warranty Start Date”) of the Machine. A Lenovo part or feature which replaces
a previously installed part or feature assumes the remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature. A
Lenovo part or feature added to a Machine without replacing a previously installed part or feature is subject to the
specified warranty period for the applicable part or feature effective on its Date of Installation (also called, “Warranty
Start Date). Unless Lenovo specifies otherwise, the warranty period, type of warranty service, and service level of such
part or feature is the same as the Machine on which it is installed.
Unless Lenovo specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the country or region in which you purchased the
Machine.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTY
OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGMENT. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT
EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES
20
APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW
LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
a. failure or damage resulting from misuse (including, but not limited to, use of any Machine capacity or capability,
other than that authorized by Lenovo in writing), accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment,
operation in other than the specified operating environment or improper maintenance by you or a third party;
b. failure due to events beyond Lenovo’s control;
c. failure caused by a product for which Lenovo is not responsible;
d. any non-Lenovo products, including those provided with, or installed on, a Lenovo Machine at your request;
e. accessories, supply items and consumables, and structural parts (for example, frames and covers). Unless
specified otherwise, batteries are considered a consumable item and are not warranted. If warranted, Lenovo
will specify the warranty in the product announcement and service documentation which ships with the Machine;
f. service of Machine alterations;
g. service of a Machine on which you are using capacity or capability, other than that authorized by Lenovo in writing;
and
h. certification in your country for the Machine’s connection by any means to interfaces of public telecommunications
networks unless Lenovo specifies otherwise in the product announcement and service documentation that ships with
the Machine. Further certification may be required by law prior to making any such connection.
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the Machine or its parts.
Lenovo does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance with “how-to” questions and
those regarding Machine set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, refer to the service documentation that
shipped with your Machine for support assistance and problem determination procedures. A copy of the service
documentation for your Machine can also be found at the following Lenovo website: http://support.lenovo.com/.
If you are unable to resolve your problem with the service documentation, contact Lenovo or the reseller to obtain
warranty service. Contact information for Lenovo is provided in the “Warranty Information” that ships with your
Machine. If you do not register the Machine with Lenovo, you may be required to present proof of purchase as
evidence of your entitlement to warranty service.
What Lenovo Will Do to Correct Problems
Lenovo will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone or electronically by access to a Lenovo
Internet website. Certain Machines contain remote support capabilities for direct problem reporting, remote problem
determination, and resolution with Lenovo. When you contact Lenovo for service, you must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures that Lenovo specifies. Following problem determination, if Lenovo determines
on-site service is required, a service technician will be scheduled for service at your location.
Certain Machines (and upgrades, as applicable) may contain Machine Code and may also contain Separately
Licensed Code (SLC). The following Lenovo website identifies whether an acquired Machine (or upgrade, as
applicable) contains Machine Code and/or SLC: http://support.lenovo.com/.
Unless specified otherwise, you are responsible for downloading or obtaining from Lenovo, and installing designated
Machine Code (microcode, basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility programs, device drivers, and
diagnostics delivered with a Lenovo Machine) and other software updates in a timely manner from a Lenovo Internet
website or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that Lenovo provides. You may request Lenovo
to install Machine Code changes, however, you may be charged for that service.
Some parts of Lenovo Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (“CRUs”). If your problem can be
resolved with a CRU (e.g. keyboard, memory, hard disk drive) Lenovo will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and your problem cannot be resolved over
the telephone or electronically, through your application of Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, Lenovo
or its subcontractor or a reseller that has been approved by Lenovo to provide warranty service, will either, at its
discretion: 1) repair it to make it function as warranted; or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If
Lenovo or its subcontractor or the reseller is unable to do either, you may return the Machine to your place of purchase
and your money will be refunded.

Martin Luther
King, Jr.
Tribute
Committee
22
CITY OF COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND
WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: Bill Gardiner Meeting Date: May 17, 2016
Assistant City Manager
Presented By: Scott Somers, City Manager Proposed Consent Agenda: No
Originating Department: Administration
Issue Before Council: Discussion about the possibility of creating a Martin Luther King, Jr. Tribute
Committee
Strategic Plan Goal: Goal 1: One College Park
Goal 6 : Excellent Services
Background/Justification:
In 1991 the Lakeland Civic Association organized a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and in 1992 a group
of Baha’is joined the Lakeland Civic Association to help plan the annual event. The City of College Park and
the University of Maryland have provided support since 1999. In 2001, the organizing committee created the
“Unity in the Community Award” to honor a community member who has demonstrated service toward some of
the ideals espoused by Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.
The annual event attracts hundreds of participants and requires a lot of volunteer and staff time to organize.
Some of the original organizers are not as able to assist as in years past. There has been discussion to create
an official City committee comprised of residents to assist staff continue the event at the high level of quality
and participation that it currently enjoys.
Fiscal Impact:
Creating a City Committee could incur small additional expenses to provide meeting minutes, but otherwise the
expenses should be similar to current expenses.
Council Options:
#1: Create an official City committee that would include the current organizers and add additional
volunteers to plan and implement (with staff assistance) an annual event honoring Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.
#2: Request additional information from the organizers of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. event.
#3: Identify other actions that would enable the City to continue this event.
Staff Recommendation:
At this time, staff would like to hear the Council discussion prior to making a recommendation on the best
manner to proceed.
Recommended Motion:
N/A
Attachments:
None.

Free parking
during summer
weeknights

CITY OF COLLEGE PARK, MARYLAND
WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM
Meeting Date: May 17, 2016
Prepared By: R.W. Ryan, Public Services Director and
Jim Miller, Parking Enforcement Manager
Presented By: R.W. Ryan, Public Services Director
Originating Department: Public Services
Issue Before Council: Discuss and consider whether to allow free parking in the municipal garage and /
or City Hall parking lot during summer weekdays.
Strategic Plan Goal: Goal # 3 – High Quality Development and Reinvestment
Background/Justification:
The following information shows the estimated revenue loss for both the Municipal Garage and the City Hall
Lot, both individually and combined, as well as the combined revenue loss that would be incurred from
violators during the same period. These estimates are based upon the time period of 5:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.
during weekdays last summer. Free parking in other downtown lots (e.g. shopping center, Lehigh Road lot,
and Applebee’s lot) would require permission of the property owners.
The estimated parking meter revenue loss, based on 2015 history, if free parking was allowed downtown in
the City Garage and on the City Hall Lot during weekday evenings between 5- 10 p.m. in the summer, would
be as follows:
Municipal Garage (approximately 288 spaces) - $9,135.10 ÷ 12 weeks (May 25 – August 14, 2015) = $761.26
per week average revenue loss. During summer evening hours, the garage is probably 75% vacant.
City Hall Lot (approximately 38 spaces) - $3,150.20 ÷ 12 weeks (May 25 – August 14, 2015) = $262.52 per
week average revenue loss. During summer evening hours, the City Hall is probably 40% vacant.
Combined Total: $12,285.30 ÷ 12 weeks (May 25 – August 14, 2015) = $1,023.78 per week average revenue
loss.
Parking citations issued for ‘Overtime Parking’ violations for both the Municipal Garage and the City Hall Lot
during weekdays after 5 p.m. last summer (May 25 – August 14, 2015) totaled 322 violations, which equated
to $6,440.00.
These estimated revenue losses do not include revenue losses already expected from free summer Saturday
parking in the Municipal Garage.
Fiscal Impact:
Total estimated revenue loss for free summer weekday parking after 5 p.m. is estimated to be $18,725.00.
Council Options:
#1: Allow free summer parking on weekday evenings in the Municipal Garage and City Hall lots only, and
forego $18,725.00 in parking fee and fine revenue.
#2: Allow free summer parking on weekday evenings in the Municipal Garage only, and forgo
approximately $13,900 in parking fee and fine revenue.
#3 Do not provide free summer weekday evening parking in the Municipal Garage and the City Hall lot.
25
Staff Recommendation:
#1
Recommended Motion:
I move to direct staff to execute the necessary actions required to allow free summer weekday evening
parking, after 5 p.m., in the municipal garage and the City Hall parking lot.
