A Request for Proposals for improved telephone service for the City of Baltimore to replace its current Centrex service has been issued and bids are due on June 23, 2010. Because of the large number of Centrex phone lines the City currently has, the successful vendor would need approximately one year to commence implementation from Centrex service to a new technology. The new technology would be phased in over time. Therefore, the City would need to continue some Centrex services during the implementation.

The period of the amendment is retroactive to the inception of the agreement on July 26, 2006. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: No General Funds are involved in this transaction. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On July 26, 2006 the F&P and Western Asset Management Company entered into an Investment Management Agreement to manage approximately $87,800,000.00 of the F&P's fixed income assets for consideration of a performance based-based fee of 25 basis points base fee (.25%) plus 20% of performance in excess of the benchmark. Due to the volatility in the subprime mortgage market, F&P owes Western Asset Management Company approximately $2,450,000.00 in management fees from the inception of the account through December 31, 2009. Recognizing the unusual circumstances resulting in these performance fees, Western Asset has agreed to calculate the F&P's fees from the inception on the contract going forward based on a standard fixed fee of 60 basis points, which would result in Western Asset's cumulatively receiving $1,530,000.00 in management fees for the period beginning with the contract inception through December 31, 2009 a savings of approximately $925,000.00 in fees.

The new meter rates would go into effect as soon as they could be implemented. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: City Area New Parking Rate per Hour Downtown $2.00 Harbor East $2.00 Fells Point $2.00 Federal Hill $2.00 Mount Vernon $2.00 Revenue - 2075-000000-2320-502400-402530 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: Pursuant to Article 31, §7-8 of the Baltimore City Code, subject to the approval of the Board, the Director of the Department of Transportation may set the rates for any parking meters. The Department and the Parking Authority believe that parking meter rate changes are needed and warranted in certain neighborhoods at this time. Parking meters are parking control devices designed to help create turnover in on-street parking spaces so that short-term parkers, such as business patrons and visitors to the City, can more easily and quickly find a place to park. In order to be effective, parking meters must have hourly parking rates that help accomplish turnover of parking spaces. The parking meter rates must be high enough, in relation to off-street parking rates, to drive longer-term parkers (i.e. commuters and others who park all day or nearly all day) to off-street parking garages and lots. 44 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 5/26/10 Department of Transportation ­ cont'd Over the past several decades, parking meter rates have not kept pace with off-street parking rates in many areas of the City, so it is often less expensive to park all day on-street (and "feed" the parking meter) than to park in a nearby parking garage or lot. As a result, on-street parking spaces do not turn over frequently, and the negative effects of this situation are many: · Business patrons and visitors to attractions in the City are not able to find on-street parking for short-term visits. This creates the perception that "parking is a problem" in the City, and may deter people from driving into the City to patronize businesses, restaurants, theaters, and other attractions and, as a result, hurts those businesses and attractions. · As drivers circle City blocks looking for on-street parking spaces that are increasingly unavailable due to low turnover, City traffic becomes increasingly congested. This increased traffic congestion has the additional negative effect of producing more air-polluting auto emissions. · When on-street parking spaces are less available, many more instances of double-parking result. Double-parking exacerbates traffic congestion, creates unsafe conditions for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and delays the responses of emergency vehicles. Many other cities in the United States have adjusted their parking meter hourly rates in their most congested areas over the past several years in order to address issues of low on- street parking space turnover. Those cities include the following: · Philadelphia ­ between $2.00 per hour and $3.00 per hour · Washington, DC - $2.00 per hour · Pittsburgh - $2.00 per hour · New York City - $2.50 per hour · Chicago ­ between $2.50 per hour and $4.25 per hour · Los Angeles - $4.00 per hour · San Francisco ­ between $2.00 per hour to $3.50 per hour 45 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 5/26/10 Department of Transportation ­ cont'd The request to adjust the rates is based on the recommendation of the Parking Authority of Baltimore City. The Board of Directors of the Parking Authority has reviewed the parking meter rate recommendations, and recommends approval.

Currently during drought the City utilizes the Susquehanna River to supplement the water drawn from Baltimore's three raw water reservoirs. The 2001 settlement agreement between the City and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission limits withdrawals from the river to 64 MGD during low river flow. In order to meet the 2050 demands the BW&WW is submitting an application to the commission requesting authorization to withdraw 124 MGD during low flow conditions in the Susquehanna River. The review of this request will initially cost the City $11,590.00. The Susquehanna River Basin has indicated that based on their initial findings they may require additional funds to cover a more extensive review.

Subsequent amendments were approved October 17, 2007, July 30, 2008, April 8, 2009, and February 17, 2010. The agreement for Pay-and-Display Parking Stations allowed the City, through the PABC, to purchase and install 720 multi-space meters (EZ Park Meters) throughout the City. The benefits associated with these meters have been recognized by the City's agencies, citizens, businesses and visitors. The maintenance of EZ Park Meters had been performed by CALE until May of 2009 when the City's Meter Shop was provided an opportunity to demonstrate its ability to perform the required repair service and preventive maintenance on EZ Park Meters. The City's Meter Shop has been performing repair and maintenance services for the past 11 months and their service level has been evaluated during that time. The service level has been unsatisfactory and resulted in the need to return the care and maintenance of the EZ Park Meters to CALE. 60 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 5/26/10 PABC ­ cont'd This maintenance agreement will ensure that the success of the EZ Park program will continue by requiring regular preventive maintenance on EZ Park meters, tracking repair alarms and/or complaints, and requiring response times by CALE technicians when meters require repairs.

For 58 years it has dedicated its resources to keeping youth in school and away from gangs, drugs and other unproductive activities. The establishment of The Baltimore City Mentoring Initiative is informed by both, the knowledge that there are 600 children in Baltimore City waiting for a BBBS mentor and, by independent research that shows that the BBBS model has a measurable and positive impact. The Baltimore City Mentoring Initiative will engage up to 6,300 youth throughout the City of Baltimore in a meaningful mentoring relationship with the potential to transform their lives and, by extension, our community. It is strongly believed that this initiative will improve overall student achievement, decrease truancy, improve student engagement and social development and increase the graduation rate of City students. The Baltimore City Mentoring Initiative is a four-year program that requires an investment of $6,800,000.00. The first year of the initiative will require an investment of $800,000.00. The required investment is as follows: · $ 800,000.00 in year 1 · $1,500,000.00 in year 2 · $2,500,000.00 in year 3 · $2,500,000.00 in year 4 This funding will allow the BBBS to provide matches for 600 children awaiting a mentor and lay the groundwork to serve more than 6,000 City youth over the next four years.
