FISCAL IMPACT:

$18,000 already allocated in Parks Division budget for contract grass mowing.

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize staff to solicit bids for contract mowing for spring, summer and fall of 2013.

ALTERNATIVES:

Return to mowing by Parks employees.

St. Louis Ave Reconstruction  – Phase I: 17 th to 10th Street Discussion Concerning Ornamental Street Lighting Funding

Date:

January 08, 2013

As you may recall, the design of the St. Louis Ave reconstruction project included the installation of “empty conduits” for the future installation of ornamental street lighting similar to Baltimore Ave  and the adjoining

side streets. At the time of the discussion it was made clear that funding was not available for the actual wiring or lights but, in an effort to avoid disturbance to the roadway surface at a later date, and to position ourselves to install lights in future years if the decision was made to do so, we designed the overall layout for the lighting locations and conduit runs and included the effort in the bidding Contract Documents. Documents. The recently awarded project includes the installation of the empty conduits. Then OCDC, in an effort to assist with actual completion of the wiring and lighting, applied for a $150,000.00 Grant thru the Community Legacy Program. This value represented the estimate of the cost for Phase I, at the time of application. As of this date, Glenn Irwin has informed me they have received notice of intent to be awarded $ 50,000.00 and that they have received tentative approval to reassign $25,000.00 of a historical Small Business Assistance Grant. Therefore, OCDC is now in a position to offer funding assistance of roughly 50% of the Phase I lighting cost. As the OCDC Grant efforts were evolving I took time to refine the actual cost estimate for the Phase I lighting. I have attached two separate documents, that when combined, total $154,028.00. The cost estimate from George and Lynch, Inc. represents the cost of installing the light pole foundations and owner supplied anchor bolts. The second attachment is the cost associated with purchase of the wiring, lights, and associated parts/labor to complete the installation. Considering that the project is now under construction I would like to discuss this matter with the Mayor and City Council at the Work Session on January 15, 2013 to determine what level of interest they have in moving forward with the entire Phase I lighting effort and appropriating the balance of the funds ($79, 028.00). Looking forward to the discussion. cc:

Somerset Street Bus Stop (Between Baltimore Ave and Philadelphia Philadelph ia Ave) Discussion Pertaining To Site Expansion Needs

Date:

January 08, 2013

In an effort to address a few privately owned/operated transit buses, and their associated passengers, from the Francis Scott Key Motel, Frontier Town Campground, and the Castaways Campground, we established a bus stop for their use that is located on the corner of Somerset Street and Baltimore Ave. This location “channels” those passengers into the boardwalk/beach area via the Somerset Street Plaza and avoids those transit vehicles from compounding our own operations at the South Division Street Transit Center. The operation at Somerset Street has experienced massive success and is now handling over 2000 passengers on a daily basis in the summer season (Please see the attached emails from both Annemarie Dickerson of the Francis Scott Key and Kathleen Walsh of Castaways. Though not in writing, similar statistics are a reality from Frontier Town too). With success come some operational challenges. The volume of daily passengers, both discharging the transit vehicles and those waiting to return to the campgrounds/motel, is now far exceeding the capacity of the site. In support of this I have attached a series of photos. One of the photos depicts a typical day at the bus stop and shows the passengers waiting for the return trip. Two additional photos provide you with a better idea of the actual size and configuration of the current bus stop and waiting area. In an effort to address this situation before the summer of 2013, we are proposing modifications to the size of the site. The proposed modifications would address the following issues: (1) The increased size would create a far greater waiting area for both the passengers and their coolers/body boards/etc. and (2) The increased size would significantly reduce the potential of having the sidewalk blocked for use by the general public and (3) The new configuration would allow access to the staging area, from Baltimore Ave, via entrance on the south side of the sign thus eliminating the conflict of passengers exiting the bus into a waiting crowd wishing to enter the bus for the return trip to their point of origination. A site plan of o f the proposed improvements is attached for review. It should be noted that to make the suggested improvements two parking spaces will be lost in the adjoining municipal parking lot. In review of the historical revenue for this specific parking lot, I can inform you that each space generates roughly $ 9.26/day for roughly a 150 day season thus equating to $ 2,778.00 per season for the two spaces combined). In an effort to gain the opinion of OCDC on this matter, I reached out to Glenn with an explanation of the issue. Per the attached letter dated November 29, 2012, OCDC has confirmed their support of the proposed bus stop expansion. In closing, I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with t he Mayor and City Council during the Work Session on January 15, 2013. cc:

Our g uests truly appreciate the ability to enjoy (and hopefully spend money) Ocean City! Thank you for working with us. We are dedicated to make sure our staff is respectful to the other drivers and our town. 1) We run our shuttle Memorial Day weekend and then begin seven days a week on the second Friday of June. 2) The last day we run is Labor Day. We have run one shuttle for Bike Fest vendors in the past but we will not be doing that for 2013. 3) We begin our shuttles at 9am. 4) Our last shuttle is at 10pm. We have discussed extending the hours do to the popular free movies on the beach. 5) We run continuosly. Since we have two shuttles the second one goes into service at 10am. The procedure is to have one leaving the FSK at the same time one is leaving Ocean City.

6) We have two 14 passenger busses that we run per day. 7) We operate 7 days per week. 8) In June we averaged 647 passengers weekday and 745 weekend combined load for both shuttles. In July we averaged 797 passengers weekday and 808 weekend combined load for both shuttles. In August we averaged 860 passengers weekday and 806 weekend combined load for both shuttles.

Since we are moving guests back and forth the average each way per day for the summer would be 388 passengers. We look forward to another great summer and will work with you in any way to help make it a better experience for everyone. Sincerely  Annemarie Dickerson

Wastewater Capital Project Funding Reallocation of Funds: 2012 Bond Funds To A 2010 Bond Project

Date:

January 8, 2013

In our efforts to address completion of the DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, I need permission from the Mayor and City Council Council to shift a portion of 2012 Wastewater Bond Funds into the DAF Project Account which is a 2010 Bond Project. Though I have historically completed budget amendments “within the Water and Wastewater Capital Accounts” on

an as need basis to complete our numerous projects, technically speaking, in this specific case I do not have the right to shift Bond Funds that were obtained from two different Bond Issuances without Mayor and City Council authorization. Please see the attached “Section 7” from the most recent

Bond Issuance that makes references to this stance. You will recall that a portion of the 2012 Bond Issuance was to address improvements to the 28 th Street Sewage Pumping Station. When faced with assigning priorities to other projects that were scheduled for completion, or already under construction, the majority of the funding for 28 th Street has been reallocated to the Dukes Ave Sewage Pumping Station Improvements and associated land acquisition. acquisiti on. $126,600.77 of the 28 th Street funding is needed to complete the final stages of the DAF project. The largest portion of those funds will address replacement of the primary electrical feeders (4) that service the entire process, with the residual of the funds being used to address numerous change orders that were prudent to address at the time of the improvements. I have spoken with Jennie Knapp, Budget Manager, concerning my requests. She takes no issue with the amendments besides the fact that the Council approval is needed.

Critical Area and Stormwater Mitigation Money Project Update and Expenditure Report The Town of Ocean City has deferred revenue accounts set up to hold mitigation money that has been collected for offsets to Critical Area an d Stormwater Management compliance requirements. This money is earmarked for specific types of projects that must have a water quality and/or a habitat element. Over the years we have requested money from these funds to pay for various projects. The projects, as stated, must must have an environmental benefit. To date we have subsidized 89 beach district planting grant, 39 BayScape gardens, 180 rain barrels, 7 cost share retrofits, printed 2000 rain garden manuals and helped pay for reprinting the Homeowners Guide to the Coastal Bays Bays just to name a few. few. This year we helped pay for the Landscape buffer at the Municipal Airport for our Earth Day Tree planting project. Currently we are working on the downtown community outreach program and water quality audits. Our first project will be to offer homeowners homeowners in this area a free water quality assessment. This assessment will will calculate their water footprint footprint and suggest opportunities to reduce runoff from from properties. Suggestions would include rain gardens, BayScape Gardens, rain barrels, French drains, and reducing impervious surface. surface. This effort will include offering grant to help implement implement and fund the suggestions. I would like to request a transfer from the stormwater mitigation fund for $2500 to pay an intern to help me with this project this summer. We continue to offer the beach district and BayScape grants. Applications for the Beach District Planting are now available and the BayScape will be out in the spring. The funds in these accounts are not quite what are needed to meet the anticipated grant application for this year. We request to transfer transfer $10,000 from the Critical Critical Area Mitigation account to the BCHDST and BAYDST BAYDST accounts for $6,000 and $4,000 respectively. This amount of money will fund the program for 3 to 4 years.

As a follow up to the discussion with the City Council at the meeting on December 17, 2012, the current code states that the resident agent must reside within the corporate limits of Ocean City. This requirement poses difficulties to individuals and businesses that act as resident agents but do not live within the corporate limits.

The Honorable Mayor, Council President and Members of Council David L. Recor, ICMA-CM, City Manager Donna Abbott, Tourism and Marketing Director Renewal of letter of agreement with Ocean City Chamber of Commerce on visitor guide January 9, 2013

ISSUE(S):

A letter of agreement with the Chamber of Commerce for the distribution of the vacation guide has expired. A new agreement is needed for the 2013 guidebook. The new agreement is proposed to cover a two-year period.

SUMMARY:

In 2010, the Dept. of Tourism and the Greater Ocean City Chamber of Commerce entered into an agreement to merge their respective vacation guides into a single publication. In the original agreement, the Town was responsible for design and layout of the publication while the Chamber sold and received ad revenue. When that agreement expired, a subsequent agreement gave the Chamber sole responsibility for design, content and distribution of the guide while the Town paid a portion of the postage costs and some ad space. In the proposed agreement, the Town would pay a portion of the cost of mailing the publication at a rate of 25 percent of the chamber’s annual annual cost verses a $1 per piece rate of the requests coming in through www.ococean.com.. The Chamber has requested additional funds www.ococean.com to cover increased costs of postage. The Town will continue to purchase 4 pages of advertising at a cost of $16,460.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Currently the Town budgets $12,000 to pay for vacation guide mail requests annually, plus plus the $16,460 for ads. Based upon upon the 2012 distribution costs incurred by the Chamber, the Town would pay the Chamber approximately approximately $20,000.

Enter into proposed agreement.

Do not enter into agreement.
