AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE; $150,000.00 - 1001-000000-2041-716700-603070 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: This is the settlement of an action against Detective Moss for the alleged assault, battery, false arrest, false imprisonment, and alleged violation of Articles 24 and 26 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights. On January 2, 2013, Detective Moss and other detectives were patrolling the area near the intersection of Erdman Avenue and Edison Highway. The detectives observed an individual later identified as Mr. Marshall open the door of a vehicle and attempt to exit the vehicle while it was still moving. The detectives proceeded to investigate the incident. As the vehicle in which Mr. Marshall was a passenger began slowing down on Cliftmont Avenue, Mr. Marshall exited the vehicle and began running, ignoring commands to stop and show his hands, etc. The Plaintiff ran across Edison Highway. One detective followed on foot. Detective Moss followed in the police vehicle. The detectives pursuing Mr. Marshall reported seeing a black handgun in the Plaintiff’s hand as he was running. They also recall that he was repeatedly grabbing his waist, which is consistent with possessing a handgun. The Plaintiff jumped a fence behind a shopping center, which put him behind row houses on Cliftmont Avenue. As the detective chasing him on foot was scaling the fence to pursue Plaintiff Marshall, he turned towards the detective in a manner that is consistent with preparing to fire a handgun. 3 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/11/2015 Department of Law – cont’d Detective Moss shot at the Plaintiff and struck him in the left hand. Detective Moss called for medics, who transported the Plaintiff to Union Memorial Hospital. No handgun was located at the scene. Mr. Marshall had hand surgery at Union Memorial Hospital to repair nerve damage and “revise” the amputation of his left ring finger and left little finger. As a result of the incident, Plaintiff Marshall filed suit seeking $1,000,000.00 in compensatory and another $1,000,000.00 in punitive damages for each of the five counts asserted in the Complaint. Because of conflicting factual issues and objective injuries suffered by Plaintiff, and given the uncertainties and unpredictability of jury verdicts, the parties propose to settle the matter for a total sum of $150,000.00 in return for a dismissal of the litigation. Based on a review of the facts and legal issues specific to this case, the Settlement Committee of the Law Department recommends that the Board of Estimates approve this settlement. APPROVED FOR FUNDS BY FINANCE (The Settlement Agreement and Release has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 4 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/11/2015 Department of Law – Settlement Agreement and Release ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the Settlement Agreement and Release among Mr. Albert Lemon, Plaintiff, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, Haywood Bradley, and Anand Badgujar. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $73,000.00 - 1001-000000-2041-716700-603070 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: This is the settlement of an action against Haywood Bradley, et al. for the alleged assault, battery, false arrest, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, gross negligence, and violation of the Maryland Declaration of Rights. On August 7, 2012, former Officer Haywood Bradley and another officer responded to an apartment complex in the 600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue because the Plaintiff, a security guard at the complex, called 911 to report what appeared to be drug-related activity. Upon responding to the complex, the officers saw that the Plaintiff had a suspect handcuffed inside the Leasing Office. The Plaintiff and Officer Bradley exchanged words regarding whether it was appropriate for the Plaintiff to have the suspect in handcuffs. The Plaintiff was armed. Officer Bradley attempted to arrest the Plaintiff. Officer Bradley claims that the Plaintiff reached for his handgun, prompting Officer Bradley and the other officer on the scene to draw their weapons. The Plaintiff was arrested on several charges related to the incident. As a result of the incident, Plaintiff Lemon filed suit seeking $200,000.00 in compensatory and $1,000,000.00 in punitive damages for each of the counts asserted in the complaint. The Court dismissed certain counts based on dispositive motions. 5 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/11/2015 Department of Law – cont’d Because of conflicting factual issues and substantial financial losses claimed by the Plaintiff to be a result of the incident and arrest, and given the uncertainties and unpredictability of jury verdicts, the parties propose to settle the matter for a total sum of $73,000.00 in return for a dismissal of the litigation. Based on a review of the facts and legal issues specific to this case, the Settlement Committee of the Law Department recommends that the Board of Estimates approve this settlement.

Due to ongoing construction activities at the Gravity Belt Thickening Facility, a test trial, which is required to identify an appropriate polymer would be difficult to conduct. Therefore, a one year extension is required. The vendor will hold the current price for the extension period. The period of the extension is March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016. The above amount is the City’s estimated requirement.

The Plan considers multiple economic scenarios, projects expenditures and revenues and comprehensively recommends options for achieving balanced budgets while reducing the property tax rate, making needed capital investments, and delivering results to citizens. Implementation of these initiatives is critical to meeting the financial objectives in the Plan and putting the City on the course to fiscal stability.

This amendment clarifies that Public Financial Management, Inc. and its subcontractors are precluded from bidding on, serving as a subcontractor on, and/or consulting with potential bidders who intend to bid on a solicitation in which Public Financial Management, Inc. or its subcontractors provided consulting services connected to the solicitation. However, if a subcontractor had no involvement in connection with the solicitation, the subcontractor will not be precluded from bidding on the solicitation or providing input to potential bidders. 37 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/11/2015 BBMR – cont’d MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: MBE: 3.34% WBE: 5.0% (The Fourth Amendment to Agreement has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 38 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/11/2015 Health Department – State Fund Appropriation Transfer ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve an Appropriation Adjustment Order (AAO) to transfer State funds within the Baltimore City Health Department from Service 715 (Health Administration) to Service 718 (Chronic Disease Prevention).

The period of the agreement is March 1, 2015 through February 28, 2017. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The Parking Authority solicited bids from qualified vendors via an RFB to provide Online Parking Pre-Purchase Services related to daily public parking and parking for special events at City- owned parking garages. PABC recommends award to SP Plus Corporation because they bid the lowest service fees to customers of this service. The Parking Authority would like to make the City-owned parking garage inventory available on-line through this pre-purchase and reservation system that will: • improve its service to the public, • expand its ability to sell parking online for any event, date, or time frame it chooses, • offer discounted prices to encourage multiple-day purchases, • deliver parking passes over the Internet and through wireless phone applications, and • distribute routing/directional information through the internet and wireless phone transmission so that customers unfamiliar with the City will be able to conveniently locate their parking spaces. This service also includes the ability to: 47 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/11/2015 PABC – cont’d • interface with current City-owned Parking and Garage Management Software, • provide reliable status and accounting reports, and • allow for the Parking Authority to make prompt changes to the inventory available to the parking public. The cost for this service will be paid by the parking customers who will be charged service fees, not by the City or the Parking Authority. The SP Plus Corporation will up-grade certain equipment for entrance lanes, solely at its expense in an amount not to exceed $170,882.00. The agreement provides for repayment of the amortized amount to SP Plus Corporation if the Demand Management Service Agreement is terminated or if services are terminated at any facility prior to the equipment term which is for three years. The City will gain multiple benefits from this service. A sampling of those benefits include the following: • increased use of City-owned parking facilities, • increased revenue at City-owned parking facilities, • reduced traffic congestion, especially for large events, because drivers will no longer need to hunt for available parking, but will drive directly to the facility at which they have reserved their parking, and • an overall improved experience for people driving into the City to patronize businesses or attractions, to attend sporting or entertainment events, or to just enjoy the City’s many amenities.
