Clearly, she made a great impression as she was offered a full-time role in September of that same year. The City has benefited from her work ethic and sincere desire to serve and support ever since. In several roles in Finance and now HR, Lindsey has demonstrated over and over again the values of Integrity and Quality in Everything We Do. As the Benefits Specialist, Lindsey's primary responsibility is helping members of our benefits plan with any benefit related issues. The fourth quarter of each year is always a busy one as it includes both the annual Benefits & Wellness Fair and the Open Enrollment period in addition to other reporting and administrative deadlines. These tasks carry a tremendous coordination and communication workload and Lindsey takes the lead with support from the rest of the HR team. One of Lindsey's other areas of responsibility is employee data management. She is the go to person for supervisors regarding the Personal Action Form process. She takes great pride in accurately entering and reviewing data that impacts employee pay and benefits. Each year in the fourth quarter, Lindsey works with Police Department administration to process status changes associated with the Meet and Confer agreement. This year, we had a tremendous amount of changes for other staff. Because of the nature of the adjustments, there was no feasible "batch" option. Each change for each employee was unique and thus had to be reviewed and entered separately. Lindsey went above and beyond to enter 239 actions in a small time frame so that the changes would be effective as intended. She did this with no complaint and with a hi was completed. Lindsey consistently impresses her manager with her ability to recall from memory employee names, job titles, and other information about the 350+ employees that serve the La Porte community. She develops and maintains trusted relationships with employees across the organization. This is a testament to her attention to detail and her public service mindset. th Please join me in congratulating Lindsey as the Employee of the 4 Quarter for 2019. Employee of the Year for 2019 Ashley Lovercheck, Buyer Purchasing Division Ashley Lovercheck joined the La Porte team in September of 2013 as a member of the Public Works administration staff. She transferred to Finance in August 2015 as a Purchasing Technician and later transitioned into her current role of Buyer. manager, Cherell Daeumer, nominated her in the 2019 third quarter for her willingness and eagerness to assist others. Ashley took the initiative to develop a WebEx module to train our new users (and refresh others) on all of the Purchasing functions in ONESolution. This the step by step process on how to enter a purchase request, process and approve p-card payments, as well as other purchasing functions. This training method allowed employees to participate without leaving their offices. Year round, 70,000 in rebates. Her diligence in ciling p-card payments in a timely manner is very valuable. Also, Ashely has been instrumental in the City receiving the Achievement of Excellence in Procurement award through the National Procurement Institute for the past five years. One criteria for this award is the use of an electronic, interactive solicitation system. This is demonstrated by online vendor registration, posting, and downloading of solicitations electronically, and posting bid tabulations and award documentation on the Purchasing webpage. All of these items are maintained by Ashley. She is a great asset to the Purchasing team and the City of La Porte team as a whole. She always goes above and beyond to help others. This includes training others in her areas of expertise and pitching in to help city wide events happen. For her technical expertise and her willingness to help customers and teammates, please join me in congratulating Ashley Lovercheck as our Employee of the Year for 2019! ağƓğŭĻƩ ƚŅ ƷŷĻ —ĻğƩ ŅƚƩ ЋЉЊВ \[Ʒ͵ 5ƚǒŭ 5źƷƩźĭŷͲ tƚƌźĭĻ 5ĻƦƷ͵ {ǒƦƦƚƩƷ {ĻƩǝźĭĻƭ .ǒƩĻğǒ Doug Ditrich has served the La Porte community as a member of the Police Department since 2000.

Ditrich had some learning curves to overcome in leading the Support Services division and he has met the challenges of the role head on. Some of the more notable accomplishments Lt. Ditrich and his team achieved in 2019 include: A transition from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system to the state mandated National Incident-Based Reporting system. Lt. Ditrich and newly appointed Support Services Supervisor Stacey Lippold learned all they could about the Texas Open Records act and UCR prior to the transition. After researching operations of other area municipal animal service centers, Lt. Ditrich While that may sound like a positive, it was placing a significant burden on staff to meet the desired levels of both customer service and animal care. A trial of reduced open hours was proposed, approved, communicated, and implemented. The results have been positive and have allowed staff to work more on animal care and adoption efforts. To further increase adoption efforts and in response to the lack of qualified certified animal control officers (ACO), Lt. Ditrich proposed converting a vacant ACO position to an entry level adoption specialist. This not only reduced costs, but provided increased services to the community. ACOs can focus fully on field services, enforcement, and animal care while the adoption specialist primarily provides front desk customer service and collaborative adoption efforts. At time when recruiting qualified candidates to the law enforcement profession is proving challenging, Lt.

As presented during budget discussions, the City has a total of thirteen (13) outdoor warning sirens. Some of the sirens are nearing twenty (20) years of age, have reached their end of life, and are in need of replacement or repair. The goal of this project is to assess the status of each existing siren, and determine what actions need to be taken to ensure the system is working properly. One of the sirens was substantially upgraded in 2018, so staff sought recommendations for theremaining twelve (12) sirens. Also, the approved funding will allow the City to purchase and install an updated encoder/control unit that will allow staff the opportunity to monitor the status of the sirens 24/7 from the La Porte Police Department dispatch center. This will allow the City to quickly identify if there is an issue with one of the sirens, so that it can be addressed in a more timely and effective manner. Staff advertised and received Sealed Bid Requests for Proposal #20502 Whelen Siren Project. Bids were opened and read on December 19, 2019. Solicitation requests were advertised in the Bay Area Observer (11/28 & 12/5), and posted on Public Purchase and the City of La Porte website with one (1) vendor responding. The Request for Proposals included a requirement that each responding vendor conduct an assessment of the twelve (12) sirens, and provide recommendations on needed repairs at each location. The City relies on the expertise of authorized Whelen dealers to identify potential maintenance issues and make repairs, when needed. This diagnosis is achieved by the vendor conducting a silent test at each site, which tests the main components of the siren (batteries, amplifiers, speaker drivers, etc.)There is a limited number of authorized Whelen dealers in our area, which resulted in the low vendor response for this project. The responding vendor made recommendations based on their assessment conducted for the RFP. The responding vendor is Crosspoint Communications, an authorized Whelen dealer. This vendor has staff has been satisfied with their work performance. Also, Crosspoint Communications provides service to the sirens in the cities of ongoing work. The vendor anticipates this project will take 3-6 months to complete. The following table shows the work that will be performed at each site, along with the cost.

Askins, Assistant City Attorney REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Appropriation Agenda Date Requested: January 27, 2020 Requested By: Matt Daeumer, Asst Chief Source of Funds: N/A Department: Police Account Number: N/A Amount Budgeted: N/A Report Resolution Ordinance Amount Requested: N/A Exhibits: Trap, Neuter and Return Program Research, Budgeted Item: Yes No , and Article III, SUMMARY The City of La Porte currently has a population of unregulated feral cats that reproduce offspring. These cats add to the stray population in La Porte and an increase of animals taken in by the Animal Shelter. Generally these cats are not adoptable because they are wild, so they face certain euthanasia. tƩƚĬƌĻƒʹ Feral cats often reproduce at a high rate, thereby increasing the stray population. This uncontrolled breeding causes the cat overpopulation to grow contributing to more nuisance issues leading to increased calls for service to trap and remove them. Once at the shelter, there must be care for the animals to include feedings and veterinary care resulting increased care costs and man-hours. Often these cats are difficult to place in a home and thus the majority ultimately must be euthanized, leading to increased euthanasia rates at the shelter. Sick cats will continue to spread disease and are potential threat to citizen pets as well as animals at the shelter. Many of these cats are being fed by citizens in the neighborhoods who may desire to keep some in the area to assist with rodent control. The Adoption Center also has residents turn in feral cats because they continue to have litters of kittens several times a year. Some citizens currently trap, alter and feed cats in certain areas of the city. This action is considered illegal under the current laws unless adopted by ordinance. Research: a program approved by the city in which feral cats are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated, sterilized, and marked by an identifying notch in the left ear by a veterinarian or other authorized personnel and returned to the trap location or other area approved by the animal control division under the There are some cities in Texas who utilize these programs to control cat populations such as Galveston, Longview and Fort Worth. These cities had their designees perform resident visits and obtain a signed agreement with the resident on the amount of animals the applicant can support. They also contacted citizens ey support trapping and releasing in their neighborhood. All agencies use volunteers and other rescue groups to assist in the process thereby leaving city employees free to perform their other facility where the animal can be spayed or neutered and receive vaccinations. The animals are marked by a cut ear and/or microchipped and when appropriate released back to the area they were captured. The City of Galveston advised that their program has been successful and there has been a decrease in animals in the program every year since inception as described below. Year Cats Altered 2016 1,026 2017 725 2018 630 2019 330 (as of 11/15/19) Proposed Solution: The City of La Porte should adopt a Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) ordinance to address concerns with stray cats. The Animal Control Division would take request from persons to participate in TNR. These request will be considered for approval by Animal Shelter Advisory Committee. Once approved, the cats will be the responsibility of the authorized agent approved for the program. The animals would be trapped, altered and given veterinary care by an . Cats that test positive for the feline infectious virus/feline leukemia will not qualify for the program and will be euthanized. These cats will not be taken to any city facility and city staff will not assist in the program. The number of animals that can enter into the program would be based of the funding that is budgeted for the program. Anyone wishing to add animals above the budget used may do so at their own expense. The shelter will have to track the number of animals that have qualified for the program. If an animal dies for any reason it will be the Control Division. Estimated cost: Cost per cat, at SNAP, that qualifies for the program are: $ 15.00 for Feline combo test $ 85.00 for Spay/Neuter and Rabies $ 7.00 for Vaccinations $107.00 per animal We currently have funding in an escrow account from spay/neuter vouchers that were never redeemed.
