Main St. Room A ACTION REQUESTED: Discuss and consider approval of Creative Bus Sales contract. BACKGROUND: The City Council approved one (1) new minivan and one (1) new bus for FY2021 to replace existing equipment. However, after reviewing our equipment needs, Roswell Transit would like to standardize our buses and minivans by replacing them with smaller buses. Our current rolling stock consists of ten (10) buses with an average of twenty-two (22) seats and room for two (2) wheelchairs and three (3) minivans. The new buses are 10 (ten) seats with two (2) additional wheelchair positions. The major benefit of this change is that we can hire non-CDL drivers. But there are additional benefits as well. We will be able to require all passengers to wear a seatbelt to increase passenger safety, reduced maintenance and fuel costs, and the new size will set us up for future growth into on-demand service or microtransit. The newer style minivans are no longer an option for us. The ramp width on the new minivans is narrower because the door width is slightly smaller; however, wheelchairs are getting wider to provide more comfort to those confined to them. The new ramps do not accommodate the wider wheelchairs. We would have to go into the full-size van class in order to keep transporting everyone enrolled in Paratransit. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: In the FY21 budget, there was $192,448 allocated to rolling stock. The State reimbursement is 80% or $153,958. The City’s portion is $38,490. By changing the request to the two smaller buses, we will need a budget adjustment of $29,011 to increase the total to $221,459. The State is considering an amendment to our current MOA. If they are able to amend the contract, the City will owe an additional $5,802, otherwise the City will owe the entire $29,011. In addition, the State has some extra money, so they have offered to reimburse us our portion of rolling stock this year at 100%. We should be awarded at least $38,490 from these funds which have not been included in our current budget. LEGAL REVIEW: None. 5 COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommend approval of the Creative Bus Sales Contract for 2 Arboc SOI 10-2 buses in the amount of $221,459.00. The required budget amendment will be presented at the January 7, 2021 Finance Committee meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider approval of the Creative Bus Sales Contract for two (2) Arboc SOI 10-2 buses in the amount of $221,459.00 6 7 8 9 10  CITY OF ROSWELL General Services Committee Meeting Room A – Roswell Convention Center 912 N. Main, Roswell, NM 88201 Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. ACTION REQUESTED: Presentation and discussion on update to Museum Admissions Program with addition of Museums for All.

Main, Roswell, NM 88201 Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. ACTION REQUESTED: Facility Department Project Update - Veterans Park. Initiated by: Abraham Chaparro BACKGROUND: The City was granted a legislative appropriation for improvements to McBride Veterans Cemetery. The top two improvements from a list generated by City Management and local veterans group were: 1. Cover for military honor guard next to existing pavilion. 2. Veterans helicopter memorial. City Council awarded professional services to Huitt-Zollars, Inc to provide professional design services for McBride Veterans Cemetery Project 19-D2950 in the amount of $42,419.45 at the May 2020 City Council Meeting. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: The legislative appropriation was approved in the FY20 Capital Improvement Fund budget. Grant 19-D2950 is $516,000 for design, construction and purchase of veterans cemetery improvements. LEGAL REVIEW: Not required at this time. BOARD AND COMMITTEE ACTION: Consider approval of two concepts for McBride Veterans Cemetery Improvement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Proceed with concepts and continued coordination with veterans group and Huit-Zollars Inc. 31 Roswell Public Library November 2020 Accomplishments Building Improvements Water Damage Repairs – the repairs for the building are expected to begin December 21. Service Improvements Library Hours - The Roswell Public Library was closed to the public November 16 to comply with a Health Order from the New Mexico Department of Health. We reopened our doors to the public on December 3, 2020. Our current hours are Tuesday – Friday with our open times 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We will close for one hour during the day to do a cleaning of all the computers, tables, chairs and service areas. The concierge service continues through our service window on the east side of the Library. New Checkout Machines – The Roswell Public Library used General Obligation funds to purchase two new self-checkout machines. The current machine requires a person to touch the screen with their bare finger. The new machine will allow for a stylus to be used. The machines have arrived and we anticipate that models will be installed the week of December 6. We will store the old self- checkout machines and use them as back up. We will let the $3,998 annual service agreement lapse on the old models. Project Progress Summer Reading Program – Although summer is five months away we have already begun to plan for the summer reading program. The theme for the program is Tails and Tales. We are trying something a bit different this year by offering a Badge Book to the first 500 children and teens who sign up for the program. We are also offering a program for adults titled “A Tisket a Tasket a book for a basket”, in which for each book read the person is entered in to a weekly drawing for a themed basket. School Readiness Program We will begin offering a school readiness program Ready to Read and Ready to Learn in January. Attached is a handout that explains the program. The program is sponsored by the Roswell Library Foundation. Plans for December Building Improvements  Begin repairs on the Library December 21 with filling holes in walls and painting.  Plumber expected sometime before or after December 25.  Windows on the west side of the library replaced.  Purchase additional storage for custodial supplies. Service Improvements  Offer Book Bingo a program to encourage adults and teens to read and discover new genres.  Have the new self-checkout machines installed.  Finalize the prizes for the School Readiness Program.  Complete the cross-training of library staff.  Purchase a laminator for programs. 32 Issues and Concerns Information Only New Mexico State Grants-in-Aid Program - This State Grants-in-Aid allocation helps to supplement the delivery of local library services. As these are state funds, ALL State Grants-in-Aid money must be spent in its entirety (down to the penny) by June 30, 2021. Since the State of New Mexico has begun Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21), the State is applying the 50% Rule for distributing State Grants-in-Aid funds. This occurs in odd-numbered fiscal years, limiting the release of funds to 6-month increments. For further information, see NMSA 6-3-6 State Budget Division; Periodic Allotments. As a result, the New Mexico State Library must distribute the State Grants-in-Aid funds in two parts. Please plan on the following funds distribution: · 50% of FY21 State Grants-in-Aid allocation in November/December 2020. Note, the grant agreement you will soon receive via DocuSign will be for 50% of your library’s total allocation. · 50% of FY21 State Grants-in-Aid allocation as well as one-time supplemental IMLS CARES Funding in the amount of $2,106.13 for a full public library and $500.00 for a developing public library in January 2021. Another grant agreement will go out in January via DocuSign for the remaining allocation. Per the 4.5.2 NMAC (4.5.2.10 D), eligible libraries have 60 days to return a signed copy of the grant agreement. As such, please have the grant agreement electronically signed by an authorized agent who has authority to enter into a legal contract with the State of New Mexico by January 22, 2021. If a library does not submit the grant agreement within the required time period, it forfeits the grant award. 33 Roswell Public Library Begins January 1 READY TO READ READY TO LEARN WHAT PRIZES Read to Read program is for Earn prizes for reading. children birth through 5 years old Earn badges and prizes for The Read to Learn program completing learning activities. offers age appropriate activities to encourage child development Sign up for one of the programs SPONSORS Birth to 18 months 2 to 3 years old Roswell Library Foundation, 3 to 4 years old Friends of the Library 4 to 5 years old.
