It has been the policy not to do so. He explained many cities have had to deal with not only inappropriate language, but also nudity and inappropriate graphics by allowing live virtual public partici- pation, including some neighboring cities and ports in Western Washington. As a result, they have changed or are changing their procedures to not allow it. The City’s legal counsel advises the City of Oak Harbor is a leader in this regard, and it is in the City’s best interest to continue not to allow live virtual comments in public meetings.

You did an amazing job fielding so many Regular Meeting Minutes June 4, 2024 Page 3 of 10 questions from our residents. The residents really appreciated your information about things they can do to protect themselves and others in the community. Darleen had some great ideas to add about using a home fire extinguisher for an intruder and also using an air horn to notify other residents when one of us needs assistance in the community. If you put together the brochure about home safety, we definitely need copies for our residents. Beware of dog signs, video camera signs and no trespassing signs need to be posted in our community. I will ask Island management for more lighting in specific areas too. Hopefully, they can help install more signs around our entrance and add a no trespassing sign to the gravel walkway. We always appreciate seeing OHPD cars in our neighborhood. We always welcome your visits to help keep our community and neighbors safe.” • All-Staff event May 29th: We also had a terrific All-Staff meeting the morning of the 29th at our Clean Water Facility Interpretive Center. A majority of our staff were in attendance and enjoyed a pancake breakfast. Mayor Wright noted he shared his vision and goals for the City and celebrated incoming Communications Officer Magi Aguilar on her first day, and outgoing Building Official Ginger Pennington on her retirement. Highlights of the meeting included a presentation on our updated accident prevention program and a first ever safety fashion show, with staff members from each of the City’s departments and work areas demonstrating safety gear they use every day. Mayor Wright offered special thanks to the Wellness Committee, the Safety Committee, his executive team, the City leadership team, the wonderful models, and to Councilmembers Armes, Marshall and Stucky for their attendance.

Regular Meeting Minutes June 4, 2024 Page 4 of 10 b. Councilmembers Councilmember Stucky asked for clarification to note the purpose of the Hearing Examiner’s meeting earlier that afternoon was due solely to review the height of the Angel de la Creatividad statue and not about the City accepting it. Interim City Administrator Combs confirmed this and noted the resolution passed by the City to accept the statue was completed some time ago. 7. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS a. Resolution 24-19: Naming Freedom Park Parks and Recreation Director Smith reviewed the resolution. He explained that the City is starting work on the design of a new trail system at the Harbor Heights property that will open the 75-acre greenspace to the public. The property was once referred to as the Harbor Heights business park, zoned as a Planned Industrial Park (PIP) before being purchased and designated as parkland by the City with Res- olution 21-15. With the planned installation of walking trails and a disc golf course, the City has been considering an appropriate designation for the City's largest and most forested park. Oak Harbor Elementary School was selected to host the 2024 Arbor Day Celebration and the concept of officially naming the Harbor Heights property as a competition leading up to the Arbor Day Celebration was discussed at the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting and a special process for a naming campaign was discussed with the Oak Harbor School District, the Parks and Recreation Commission, Mayor Wright and Council leading up to the event. Parks and Recreation Director Smith noted our parks’ biggest fans are our smallest residents, and shared information on naming requirements and other cri- teria for parks per Resolution 21-19. Classes at Oak Harbor Elementary School held activities to nominate a park name as their class sub- mission. Park name nominations were announced by Mayor Wright at the Arbor Day Celebration. Nom- inations were then presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review and selection of the winner based on the City’s policies and procedures relating to the naming of public parks and park and recreation facilities. After careful consideration "Freedom Park" was chosen as the recommended designation. Oak Harbor Elementary students are known as “Eagles” and have a strong affiliation to the symbolism of freedom associated with their mascot and our military supported community. Comments from the Commission- ers and the Mayor included thoughts that Freedom Park gives a sense of stewardship both to the stu- dents who stand as a symbol of freedom to care for the natural spaces around them as well as the Na- val Sailors who volunteer service hours that will help maintain Freedom Park, the closest City park to the Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island. “Freedom Park" was submitted by Mrs. Nuqui and Mrs. Shep- erd's 1st Grade Class, and the educational nature trail to be named "Slippery Squirrel Trail" was sub- mitted by Mr. Woodard's 3rd Grade Class at Oak Harbor Elementary School. Mayor Wright confirmed no public comments had been received and called upon those members of the public present for their comments. Speakers included Oak Harbor Elementary Principal Chistine Merritt and members of Mrs. Nugui and Mrs. Sheperd’s first grade class, who introduced themselves. Miss Carsyn Finkle provided a statement on behalf of the class. She noted, “We picked the name Freedom Park because we will be able to play there whenever we want!” Mayor Pro Tem Hizon noted she suspected this was the first time the City had ever considered passage of a resolution that included the words “slippery squirrel’. Regular Meeting Minutes June 4, 2024 Page 5 of 10 Motion: Councilmember Wiegenstein moved to adopt Resolution 24-19, approving the Park and Rec- reation Commission's recommendation for designating the Harbor Heights property, generally located at 900 Gun Club Rd., as "Freedom Park" - the winning nomination by Mrs. Nuqui and Mrs. Sheperd's 1st Grade Class, and the educational nature trail to be named "Slippery Squirrel Trail" as submitted by Mr. Woodard's 3rd Grade Class at Oak Harbor Elementary School. Councilmember Hoffmire seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Mayor Wright paused the meeting for photos with the students and Principal Merritt. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS & MEETINGS a. Ordinance No. 2002: Rezone of Parcel R13202-460-1360 (427 SE Ely Street) from split-zoned R-1, R-2 zoning to R-3 Senior Planner Lindenburg reviewed the ordinance background and information. The property is located at the corner of Ely Street and Cabot Drive. The applicant submitted a pre-application for a potential residential project on the subject site. At that time, city staff let the applicant know that a rezoning appli- cation would need to be approved to allow for the density proposed and to resolve a split-zone designa- tion on the property. Accordingly, an application was made for rezoning from the existing split R-1 and R-2 districts to R-3 for the full parcel. This action would change the maximum unit count from seven to eleven. The general process to rezone property includes a hearing before the Hearing Examiner who conducts the hearing and makes a recommendation to the City Council. The Hearing Examiner conducted a hear- ing on April 30, 2024, after due notices were published to the newspaper and neighbors. The Hearing Examiner took public testimony and closed the hearing. The Hearing Examiner provided a recommen- dation for approval of the rezoning in the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The authority to establish land use control is provided by RCW Chapter 36.70A.040. The Growth Man- agement Act requires the City to plan and to have development regulations that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The rezoning of the property by itself will not create a fiscal impact. Development of the property into residential units will result in impact fees and property tax increases. Cost impacts associated with additional units and citizens will be addressed during project review and permitting. Mayor Wright opened the Public Hearing. He confirmed no public comments had been received and requested any public comments from those gathered. Hearing none, the Public Hearing was closed. Councilmember Marshall provided his respective questions and comments and requested information about the continuance of sidewalks, which was addressed by Senior Planner Lindenburg. Motion: Councilmember Stucky moved to accept the Hearing Examiner’s recommendation and adopt Ordinance No. 2002, approving the rezoning of 0.69 acres of land, consisting of one parcel (R13202- 460-1360) from split Single Family Residential (R-1) and Limited Multiple-Family Residential (R-2) to Multiple-Family Residential (R-3). Councilmember Marshall seconded the motion, which passed unani- mously. b. WA Department of Commerce Community Development Block Grant Application Public Hearing and Approval Grants Administrator Horn and Interim Fire Chief Olson presented the grant information and application request. In 2022, Oak Harbor voters approved a bond and levy lid lift to design and build a second fire station, Regular Meeting Minutes June 4, 2024 Page 6 of 10 located in the southwest area of the city. The bond will also cover the cost of a new fire engine and partial operations including two new firefighting positions. There is a need for additional equipment to outfit the new station that is not covered by the bond and is not budgeted for in the Fire Department's budget. The Washington State Department of Commerce Community Development Block Grant program provides funding to non-entitlement units (NEUs) of gov- ernment. As an NEU with over 50% LMI, Oak Harbor qualifies for this program. The Fire Department is requesting approval to apply for a grant from the CDBG program to purchase an extractor and a breath- ing air filling station. Per Department of Commerce guidance, a notice of public hearing was posted 10 days prior to this meeting and is sufficient for application to the CDBG program. The equipment costs are approximately $120,000. If approved, staff will bring a budget amendment to a future City Council meeting for consideration. Mayor Wright opened the Public Hearing. He confirmed no public comments had been received and requested any public comments from those gathered. Hearing none, the Public Hearing was closed. Councilmember Stucky and Mayor Pro Tem Hizon provided their respective questions and comments. Deputy City Administrator Goldman also responded to questions. Motion: Councilmember Marshall moved to approve the submission of a Community Development Gen- eral Purpose Block Grant for equipment for the new Fire Station 82. Councilmember Wiegenstein se- conded the motion, which passed unanimously. 8. CONTRACTS & AGREEMENTS a. Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Perteet, Inc. for Natural Resources Anal- ysis Development Services Director Kuhl presented the item. He explained the Development Services De- partment would like to amend the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Perteet Incorporated, the firm currently performing natural resource analysis for the City of Oak Harbor. The original PSA was signed on October 3, 2023. The Freund Marsh analysis will take approximately six months to complete. Island County requires approval of our vendor as part of the funding requirement for the conservation futures money awarded by the County. The contract will expire on October 15, 2024. This PSA amend- ment will also add an additional $40,000 to complete the work. The current contract is $20,000 and the amendment to the PSA will make the total for the contract $60,000. Director Kuhl noted the City is under contract to purchase three parcels from the Freund family. Island County has stipulations for the use of the conservation futures money granted, including final input on the selection of a vendor for the analysis and feasibility study. Director Kuhl reviewed those criteria, plus added provisions requested by the City Council. Mayor Wright confirmed no public comments had been received and requested any public comments from those gathered. Hearing none, he requested Council comments. Councilmembers Marshall and Wiegenstein provided their respective questions and comments. Both both explained that as they had not favored the purchase of the Freund Marsh property they would not vote in favor of the amendment. Motion: Councilmember Hoffmire moved to approve the amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Perteet Incorporated for Natural Resources Analysis Services. Mayor Pro Tem Hizon seconded the motion, which passed 4-2 with Mayor Pro Tem Hizon and Councilmembers Armes, Hoff- mire, and Stucky in favor and Councilmembers Marshall and Wiegenstein opposed. Regular Meeting Minutes June 4, 2024 Page 7 of 10 b. Enterprise Resource Planning Software Contract Award Deputy City Administrator and Finance Director David Goldman presented the item. He explained the City’s current financial software, EDEN, is about 20 years old and does not have the advanced function- ality found in a typical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The City received notice from the current vendor a couple of years ago that they would no longer be supporting the software in a few years. Based on this, staff communicated to City Council with information regarding our current system and what a new system could provide for us Based on this feedback, the City Council allocated $500,000 of Council Priority Project funding (total project funding $525,000) to replace the EDEN financial system with an ERP system. Previous Council and Citizen input was gathered on: • January 27, 2021 City Council Workshop • May 3, 2022 City Council Meeting • November 29, 2023 City Council Workshop Deputy City Administrator and Finance Director Goldman reached out to multiple cities, who use EDEN and other ERP systems, to gather information and gain input. He also researched ERP templates, worked with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) on refining the Request for Proposals (RFP) and gathering a list of vendors to send the RFP to (in addition to the standard bid publication), and reached out to ERP vendors at the exhibit hall at the 2023 national GFOA conference in May to submit bids. The RFP was open from May 1, 2023 to June 12, 2023. Staff included the amount of Council Priority Project funding allocated by the City Council in the RFP. The City received two responses. 33 staff members (and the City’s Information Technology consultants) from every department of the City were invited to review those responses. Both vendors were invited to the City for multiple day demonstrations and to answer staff questions. Based on feedback, staff selected the top scoring vendor. The Project includes six primary stages which are outlined in detail in the Statement of Work and include important aspects such as data conversion, stakeholder feedback, process evaluation and refinement, product setup, product testing, product production: • Initiate and Plan • Assess and Define • Prepare Solution • Production Readiness • Production • Close Deputy City Administrator Goldman introduced Chris Deroche of Tyler Technologies who reviewed the firm’s decision to sunset the Eden software after 25 years and the jump in technology provided in moving forward with the new system. Mr. Deroche provided a brief demonstration of the system, He noted Tyler Technologies is the largest software company in the United States which is solely focused on the public sector, with 45% of their 1600 team members having worked in the public sector. 55 municipalities in Washington State are utilizing the Tyler Technologies ERP system. Deputy City Administrator Goldman reviewed the general benefits of an ERP system: • Speed up and improve processes. • Shared information organization wide. • Reduce paper and chance for losses and errors. • Enhanced financial and capital project reporting. • Enhanced customer experience. Regular Meeting Minutes June 4, 2024 Page 8 of 10 Selected Summary of new available functionality: • Moving from paper-based timekeeping to electronic timekeeping. More accurate tracking of time and approvals. Verifiable allocation of staff time to grants can reduce direct expenses to City funds. • Workflow approvals in the system.

Toolbox can be used to create user defined views of information and can be shared with others at the click of a button. Strategic analysis into multiple functional areas using forecasts, trends, and government-specific metrics. • Ability to handle program budgeting and in-system budget creation and monitoring. Creates an un- limited number of “what if” scenarios. • Integrated lifecycle procurement. Includes electronic purchase order/encumbrance functionality. Tracks procurements from requisition to purchase. • Integration with existing software. Provides data integration with other software used by the City (LAMA, Microsoft-Excel, etc.). • Citizen self-service. Enhanced utility billing that can show the history of usage. Single log-in. Ability to report issues (potholes, downed power lines, etc.) that are routed directly to the relevant departments. Deputy City Administrator Goldman reviewed the Project Budget and costs of $525,000. • $452,650 - Tyler professional services • $ 3,669 - Third-party hardware, software, services • $ 24,660 – Estimated Travel Expenses • $ 44,021 – Contingency for additional modules and training. There is an annual SaaS licensing fee of $167,456. The new system will represent a cost increase of $54,610 over the current system but will provide a more efficient product plus new functionality. Costs will continue to be allocated to all funds. Mayor Wright confirmed no public comments had been received and requested any public comments from those gathered. Hearing none, he requested Council comments. Mayor Pro Tem Hizon and Councilmembers Hoffmire, Stucky and Marshall provided their respective questions and comments. Motion: Councilmember Marshall moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the Software as a Service (SaaS) agreement with Tyler Technologies not to exceed $525,000 and annual costs as contained in the agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Hizon seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 9. OTHER ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION None 10. REPORTS & DISCUSSION ITEMS a.
