College Park City Council Minutes March 1, 2022 Page 2 Council Member Dernoga discussed the length of time this has taken. He said there is an opportunity to jump start the program with an influx of funding in the coming fiscal year. The 21st Delegation has been in support of the project: Del. Barnes is seeking funding from the state. Council Member Dernoga will support funding from Park and Planning. He asked the City to consider what funding it can commit in FY’23, or if there is City-owned land the City can contribute. He discussed successful partnerships between P&P and other municipalities in the County. Pros and cons of regional centers vs. neighborhood facilities. The City should have a seat at the table in discussions with residents. He requested a letter from the City to County Council and Park and Planning that the City will partner with them on the project and help to jump start the funding. Very rough estimate of $15M - $18M. A partnership agreement would be developed and the City would be a stakeholder throughout the process. Discussion: discussion of possible sites; needs outlined in the County’s 2040 Plan; it is too soon to provide a good cost estimate; survey of adequate parcel sizes in the Region 2 service area; reminder that the facility would be open to everyone in the broader community, not just College Park residents; discussion of City contributing 10% of the estimated cost to build the building; reminder that the City doesn’t have a recreation department and can’t be involved in staffing/programing; discussion of ideas beyond recreation: arts, food service, social services – to be detailed during community discussions; idea of an intermediate step of renting space in the Hollywood Community Center?; finding a location for Meals on Wheels; advantages of a location near the YFS building; concern about precedent (if you want it to happen, you need to contribute 10%) and double-contribution situation (residents pay taxes to both City and M- NCPPC) if the City commits funds; what would our contribution be buying?; can Program Open Space funding be used?; location must be transit accessible; consideration for home schoolers and things we usually see at libraries such as computer resources. Letter to agenda next week, interested in being a partner, some level of funding to be determined in the budget W/S. 2. Discussion of a commemorative bench program – Robert Marsili, Director of Public Works: Mr. Marsili reviewed the PowerPoint. Discussion: Will there be a map on the website showing the sites that are available? What about the situation where the person to be memorialized is “problematic” and how will that be addressed in the policy? Once the bench is installed it becomes City property and the City would maintain it. Benches with artwork: cost is the same; artwork would be submitted with the application. Bring this back to approve the policy. 3. Consideration of Purchase of Cablecast Server for broadcast (suspend procurement procedures) – Bill Gardiner, Assistant City Manager: System supports closed captioning, but it is an added cost. Consent next week. College Park City Council Minutes March 1, 2022 Page 3 4. Discussion of legislation: Kennedy – Bill sponsored by Del.

Marsili, Jr., Meeting Date: 3/01/2022 Director of Public Works Presented By: Robert L. Marsili, Jr., Proposed Consent: No Director of Public Works Originating Department: Department of Public Works Issue Before Council: Discussion about a Commemorative Bench Program that offers residents an opportunity to recognize the lives of deceased family members or friends. Strategic Plan Objective: Objective #1 Innovate and improve City services to enhance quality, value, and accessibility for all our residents Background/Justification: On August 11, 2015, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution 15-R-13 (attached) establishing the framework for evaluating requests for recognitions and commemorations of individuals who have made noteworthy contributions to the City of College Park through community service, service on a City advisory board, or due to a distinction that brings honor and prestige to the City. The Resolution outlines the recommendation process, the evaluation criteria, and suggests various types of recognitions that are commensurate with the contributions of the individual. A request has been made that the City consider adopting a Commemorative Bench Program that is outside the scope of Resolution 15-R-13. A Commemorative Bench Program would provide residents with an opportunity to honor the lives of their family or friends by purchasing a commemorative bench and plaque that would be installed on City property. In addition to providing residents with a way to honor a loved one, commemorative benches contribute to the beauty and character of the City’s landscape and enhance the visitor experience. Staff suggests the following guidelines be considered for this program:  The cost of the Commemorative Bench, plaque and installation would be paid for by the requesting party. The estimated cost of the commemorative bench fitted with a bronze plaque and installation would be approximately $2,500. This includes the actual cost of materials (bench, plaque, concrete pad) and staff time.  Location: Applicants for a Commemorative Bench would be given the opportunity to indicate a preferred site and staff will work with the applicant to determine the suitable location. Locations could include the Trolley Trail, Parks, and Green Spaces. Placement will be positioned to maximize the benefit to the area. Bench placements must be approved by City staff.  Wording for the plaque must be approved by City staff.  After a location is determined and payment is received, the bench will be ordered. A 10–14 week lead time is anticipated. Due to weather, installation of benches is recommended between spring and fall.  We suggest limiting the number of installations to between 4- 6 each season until we get a sense of the number of applications submitted annually. 010 Commemorative benches in an outdoor setting have an approximate life span of 10-15 years. Factory benches will have a 10-year warranty. Public Works is researching a paintable wood bench as an alternative to enhance public art. Public Works staff will provide normal maintenance of the bench during its useful life. The maintenance should be minimal. The bench would become city property when installed and the city reserves the right to move or remove any memorial bench at any time. The City would not be responsible for vandalism or damage caused by third parties. If the bench is damaged beyond repair, the city would not be responsible for replacement and the bench could be removed and allow applicant to either work with city to repair or take ownership of bench. This item is scheduled for discussion at the March 1 Worksession. Once Council direction is received, staff will return with a policy for Council approval. The Commemorative Bench program could be adopted through an amendment to Resolution 15-R-13, or could be created through adoption of a new Council Resolution. These operational details will be determined by staff after discussion with the Council. Fiscal Impact: Since the Commemorative Bench Program is paid for by the requesting applicants, the fiscal impact is minimal. Council Options: 1. Discuss staff recommendations and provide feedback 2. Provide additional options for consideration 3. Decide not to move forward with this initiative at this time Staff Recommendation: Option #1 or #2 Recommended Motion: TBD Attachments: 1.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mayor and Council of the City of College Park that the following guidelines for evaluating requests for recognitions and commemorations be adopted : 1.

Only those residents who have made the most significant and outstanding contributions to the City of College Park shall be recognized by the naming of a City facility or other public property in their honor.

Background/Justification: The current CableCast server has been in place for more than ten years and is not compatible with the AV technology at the new City Hall. The City is broadcasting by sending the signal to the CableCast server at Davis Hall, instead of broadcasting directly from City Hall. The new Cablecast/Tightrope server will be able to deliver HD video streaming to the Verizon and Comcast cable channels and support scheduling and playing media across all platforms in one mobile-friendly interface. The system will include software for graphic announcements (bulletin board), crawls (scrolling text at the bottom of the screen), and logos with text for the City channels. The system supports closed captioning (required by ADA) and streaming to Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, Android/Google TV, Android Mobile, Facebook Live, and YouTube Live. If the City decides to use the closed captioning or the streaming feature, additional software licenses would be required. The equipment vendor is Contracting Video Specialists (CVS). The City has hired CVS for several projects; most recently CVS designed and implemented the audio/video signal from the new City Hall to the Cablecast system at Davis Hall. CVS is the only CableCast-certified contractor in Maryland. Because the project's total cost (hardware, software, and labor) exceeds $30,000, the City Council must waive its normal procurement processes in order to approve the purchase. Fiscal Impact: This expenditure can be covered by the funding the City receives via our participation in iNet and the cable franchise agreements. The City has sufficient funding in the iNet account to cover this purchase. Council Options: 1. Authorize waiving the City’s procurement policy to execute a contract with Contract Video Specialists for the purchase and installation of CableCast hardware and software. The total contract price, including warranties, is $56,310.58. 2. Request additional information about the project. 3. Direct staff to explore other options and products to meet its broadcast needs. Staff Recommendation: Option #1 022 Recommended Motion: I move to authorize staff to contract with Cable Video Specialists, Inc. in the amount of $56,310.58 to purchase the Cablecast hardware, software, warranties, and installation services as described in the attached quote. Council waives its regular procurement process to authorize this purchase. Attachments: 1. Quote from Cable Video Specialists, Inc. 2.
