All YAC g roups continue to meet on a regular basis. They are all now preparin g for the second
semester of school and gearing up for the New Year.
PHS YAC
At the h igh school the n u m bers are starting to grow, but we are
preparing for a drop in attendance with the u pcoming sports
seasons around the corner. The majority of our cu rrent

start this month. We will be having a recru itment day to attract
new members in the mid-February.
Th rough former and current YAC members we are also assisting in fou r high school
PREP projects:
One is going to perform a music recital for the sen iors. He has met with the activities
comm ittee and set up a time and date for the event. It will be in conju nction with an
already planned dinner/dance event to be held on March 1 5, 2014.
Another project is two sen iors hosting a challenge day type of event that will be held at
Walnut Grove for their current 81h grade class. They have met with Superintendent
Alfano to make sure it is P U S D approved. Once they received his approval they met with
Mrs. Ramo, the Walnut G rove Principal, to finalize, date and time of March 7, 2014. It is
currently scheduled as an ali-day event.
The third project we are assisting in is for a suicide
intervention I prevention support group called Be A
Friend. This senior is entering a contest with a P SA

well as offers resources to those in need. She is also
certified in Question , Persuade, and Refer (QPR). She
is going to offer QPR training for any teachers, city

it a bigger event next year.

Motion to Approve First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 764 Animals in Residential Areas and Chickens Ordinance.
Patterson, Adding Chapter 7.58 Entitled "Animals in Residential Areas"
and Chapter 7.60 Entitled "Chickens" to the Patterson Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Review the ordinance language, open a public hearing, consider the issues, and motion to
approve the first reading and introduction of Ordinance No. 764 - Animals in Residential Areas
and Chickens Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
At the October 1 5, 20 1 3 City Council meeting, the Council approved a revision to the City's
Code Title 7 entitled "Animals". This revision was provided as the County Animal Services
Agency Model Ordinance to reflect current procedures and relationships dealing with Animal
Services. The revision replaced the previous Title 7 in its entirety. Upon review, the approved
revisions resulted in the loss of two ordinance sections of interest.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The County's model code does not differentiate between the types of animals appropriate to rural
versus city conditions. The previous Municipal Code section included a section entitled
"Animals in Residential Areas" which outlined the number and type of pets appropriate to city
dwelling. This section is significant because certain animals and large numbers of animals in
residential areas can pose a nuisance to the health and safety of area residents. The proposed
ordinance would reintroduce this section to the Municipal Code as 7.58 "Animals in Residential
Areas"
On September 1 7th, 20 1 3, the City Council approved the ordinance entitled "Chickens" allowing
residents who meet certain requirements to raise chickens within the City limits. The proposed
ordinance would reintroduce this section to the Municipal Code as 7.60 "Chickens"

Consider First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 748, Amending
Title 1 8 of the Patterson Zoning Ordinance, Requiring Deposits to Fund
City Costs for Processing Larger Development Projects.
Patterson, Amending Section 1 8. 1 4.020 of the Zoning Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to introduce for first reading Ordinance No. 748 (Option B), Amending Section
1 8. 1 4.020 of Title 1 8 of Patterson' s Municipal Code (the "Zoning Ordinance")
BACKGROUND
The City of Patterson (the "City") requires thoughtful and orderly growth to ensure that public
infrastructure meets the needs of developers seeking to invest in the City's future. New
development requires City oversight and advanced planning to ensure that proposed projects
align with the City's infrastructure requirements, and the City's goals and vision for the future.
The review of large development projects requires significant time and resources by City staff,
third party engineers, consultants and legal counsel to ensure that these projects and any related
infrastructure requirements are constructed according to proper engineering, environmental and
legal standards. Rather than requiring the City and its taxpayers to bear the cost of new
development, it is appropriate that developers pay their fair share of costs for the City to review
larger development projects, including project impacts and related infrastructure requirements.
Page 1 of 4
City staff have proposed amendments to Section 1 8 . 1 4.020 of the Zoning Ordinance, authorizing
the City Council to establish deposit requirement for development applications. On November
and December 5 , 20 1 3 , the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment
and provided recommendations. On December 1 1 , 20 1 3 , the City met with members of the
development community to obtain additional comments and recommendations for the proposed
ordinance amendment. In response to the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the
development community, City staff proposed two ordinances for the City Council's
consideration.
Option A
Option A would amend Section 1 8 . 14.020 to require developers to place a deposit with the City
to cover processing costs actually incurred by the City during the review of development
applications, where the proposed project is greater than fifty thousand (50,000) square feet in
floor area or twenty (20) acres in gross parcel area.
Option B
Option B would amend Section 1 8. 1 4.020 to require developers to place a deposit with the City
to cover processing costs actually incurred by the City during the review of any development
applications that require the City to expend significant resources on infrastructure analysis,
environmental review, fiscal impact studies and other processing costs. Option B does not
include a minimum project threshold of fifty thousand (50,000) gross square feet or twenty (20)
acres in gross parcel area.
Both of the proposed ordinances would require that the project applicant maintain a minimum
balance of at least forty percent (40%) of the initial deposit at all times during the City's review
and processing of the development application. If the deposit balance drops to below 40% of the
initial deposit, the City Manager or Planning Director will suspend processing the application.
This requirement may be waived by the Planning Director or City Manager if they determine that
less than 40% of the initial deposit is required to conclude the City's review and processing of
the development application. At the discretion of the city manager or planning director, a
deposit may be required for modifications to existing entitlements. The ordinances also
authorize the City Council, by resolution, to waive or modify the deposit requirements for a
development application. In addition, the City may require additional contributions to the initial
deposit in order to continue processing the application.
Deposits shall be subj ect to monthly accounting by the City. Any remaining or unused portion
of a deposit shall be returned to the applicant upon request of the applicant, if no public hearings
are scheduled for the application. If a developer requests a refund and public hearings are
scheduled, the City may withdraw the item for public consideration and City approval prior to
issuing the refund.
ANALYSIS
State law provides that planning fees must bear a reasonable relationship to the actual costs
incurred by the City. Large development projects require significant City staff time and outside
engineering, consultant and legal fees. The actual scope of City costs for larger development
proj ects, however, involves significant variables as to the overall processing costs, especially
when factoring the City' s analysis of infrastructure requirements in connection with larger
Page 2 of 4
development projects. For these reasons, City staff have proposed ordinances authorizing the
City Council to implement a deposit-based fee structure for larger projects, as opposed to
charging a fixed fee. A deposit-based fee structure will ensure that application fees maintain a
reasonable relationship to the actual costs incurred by the City during its review of larger
development projects.
Survey of Deposit Requirements
City staff reviewed the deposit requirements of nearby jurisdictions, such as the cities of Tracy,
San Jose and Sacramento, and other cities in Stanislaus County, to determine whether a deposit
requirement would discourage development activity within Patterson. Other jurisdictions require
deposits for a broad range of approvals.
Turlock
Turlock requires a deposit for the review of development agreements ($ 1 1 ,650), environmental
impact reports ( 1 7% of total EIR cost), general plan amendments ($ 1 0,000), planned
developments (up to $ 1 1 ,000), and subdivision maps (up to $ 1 3 ,225). In some instances the
deposit amounts are tiered. In the review of planned development applications, for example,
Turlock charges $8,500 for review of projects less than 5 acres, and $ 1 1 ,000 for review of
projects greater than 5 acres, in addition to numerous other deposit requirements.
In Turlock, a 5-acre proj ect that involves a development agreement, mitigated negative
declaration, rezoning and tentative map application would require an initial deposit greater than
$35 ,000. Under the proposed Option A, review of the same entitlements in the City of Patterson
would require no deposit. Under the proposed Option B, the City Manager or Planning Director
would have discretion to require a deposit, with a maximum cap on the deposit balance of
$50,000.
Tracy
Similar to Turlock, Tracy requires different deposit amounts for each entitlement application. In
Tracy, an 1 8-acre proj ect involving a planned unit development ($8,280), tentative map
($ 1 6,500), zone change ($6,4 1 7) and CEQA analysis (unspecified) would require a deposit
greater than $3 1 ,000, and would likely exceed $50,000 with CEQA review. Under proposed
Option A, review of the same entitlement applications in Patterson would require no deposit.
Under the proposed Option B, the City Manager or Planning Director would have discretion to
require a deposit, with a maximum cap of $50,000 on the deposit balance.
Deposit Refund
Both of the proposed ordinances include procedures for applicants to request a refund of any
unused portions of the deposit, subject to forty five (45) days' notice and any scheduled public
hearings. Notably, deposits required by other j urisdictions are non-refundable. Waterford is the
only city in Stanislaus County to allow refunds of deposits. Sacramento, San Jose and Tracy also
do not allow deposit refunds.
In conclusion, although a deposit requirement may increase costs for developing projects within
the City, both of the proposed deposit ordinances remain significantly lower than neighboring
cities. The exact cost of reviewing a particular project, however, would vary as the cost would
be based on actual time spent processing the application.
Page 3 of 4
Planning Commission Recommendations
In hearings before the Planning Commission, recommendations were made to increase the
deposit threshold, to authorize the City Manager and City Council to waive or modify deposit
requirements, and to require a deposit for modifications to existing projects and entitlements.
City staff incorporated these recommendations into Option A.
In the alternative, City staff proposes Option B, which would authorize the City Manager or
Planning Director to require a deposit for development proj ects of any size, so long as the project
is reasonably anticipated to require significant processing costs, technical evaluation,
environmental review or other costs related to advance planning.
Developer Recommendations
On December 1 1 , 20 1 3 , the City met with the development community to gather additional
recommendations to improve the development application process and to discuss the proposed
planning fee ordinance amendment. As a result, staff amended both proposed ordinances to
authorize the City Manager or Planning Director to determine a reasonable deposit balance
during the City's initial review of a development application. Under both ordinances, the
applicant will be afforded an opportunity to meet with the City to discuss the deposit during the
pre-application period. If a deposit is required, the development application will not be deemed
complete until the applicant provides the initial deposit amount.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed ordinances authorize the City to recover costs of City staff time and costs of
outside consultant, engineers and legal services in reviewing development projects. Therefore,
the City should realize an increase in revenue from these measures.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
The City Council' s options regarding Ordinance No. 748 include:
1 . Motion to introduce Ordinance No. 748 (Option A or Option B) for a first reading;
2. Continue introduction Ordinance No. 748 (Option A or Option B) for a first reading to
the next regular City Council meeting with changes or revisions as provided by the City
Council;
3 . Rej ect the introduction of Ordinance No. 748 (Option A and Option B) for first reading.

it is appropriate that developers pay their fair share of the City's processing costs to review larger
development proj ects, including project impacts and related infrastructure requirements.
City staff have proposed amendments to Section 1 8. 1 4.020 of the Zoning Ordinance, authorizing
the City Council to establish processing fees for development applications. On November and
December 5, 201 3, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment and
provided recommendations. On December 1 1 , 20 1 3 , the City met with members of the
development community to obtain additional comments and recommendations for the proposed
Page 1 of 4
ordinance amendment. In response to the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the
development community, City staff proposed two ordinances for the City Council' s
consideration.
Option A
Option A would amend Section 1 8 . 1 4.020, defining "processing costs" to include fees and costs
actually incurred by the city related to processing the application, including but not limited to
outside consultant services, attorney fees and legal services, mailing and noticing costs, and
filing fees. Under Option A, processing costs do not include city staff time and benefits.
Option B
Option B would amend Section 1 8 . 1 4.020, defining "processing costs" to include all fees and
costs incurred by the city related to processing the application, including city staff time and
benefits, outside consultant services, attorney fees and legal services, mailing and noticing costs,
administrative overhead, and filing fees.
ANALYSIS
State law provides that planning fees must bear a reasonable relationship to the actual costs
incurred by the City. Large development projects require significant City staff time and outside
engineering, consultant and legal fees. A deposit-based fee structure for processing costs will
City during its review of larger development projects. The actual scope of City costs for larger
development projects, however, involves significant variables as to the overall processing costs,
especially when factoring the time and resources required of City staff in the analysis of
infrastructure requirements in connection with larger development projects.
Survey of Processing Costs
City staff reviewed the processing costs for the cities of Tracy, San Jose, Sacramento, and the
costs for other cities in Stanislaus County, to identify the scope of processing costs charged by
those jurisdictions, and to determine whether the proposed processing costs would discourage
development activity within Patterson. In other cities, processing costs include expenses related
to city staff time and benefits, and third party engineers, technical consultants and legal counsel.
The listed rates for city staff time in other cities ranges from a minimum of $72 per hour
(Waterford) to $ 1 87 per hour (San Jose). In Patterson, current staff rates range between $41 per
hour to $ 96 per hour and are thus significantly lower than the listed rates of neighboring cities.
Planning Commission and Developer Recommendations
In hearings before the Planning Commission, comments were made that the City's recoverable
processing costs should not cover staff time, as staff salaries and benefits are provided through
the City's general fund. The same recommendation was made during the City's subsequent
meeting with the development community. Staff incorporated these recommendations into
Option A, which does not include City staff time as a recoverable processing cost.
Staff Recommendation
City staff proposes Option B, which would include City staff time and benefits as a recoverable
processing cost. Large development proj ects often require several years after processing of the
application before contributing revenue to the City' s general fund. In addition, under current
staffing levels, the processing of larger development projects presents challenges for city staff to
Page 2 of 4
process larger projects whue performing their regular duties. Theretore, in order to increase staff
levels in conj unction with the review of larger development projects, it is imperative that
processing costs include City staff time. Moreover, the review of larger development projects by
City staff often requires in-depth analysis of proj ect-related infrastructure requirements, which
exceeds the regular job duties of City staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
Option A authorizes the City to recover processing costs for expenses incurred from third party
consultants, engineers and legal services in reviewing development projects. Option B includes
City staff time as a recoverable processing cost. Therefore, the City should realize an increase in
revenue from these measures.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
The City Council' s options regarding Ordinance No. 749 include:
1 . Motion to introduce Ordinance No. 749 (Option A or Option B) for a first reading;
2. Continue introduction of Ordinance No. 749 (Option A or Option B) for a first reading to
the next regular City Council meeting with changes or revisions as provided by the City
Council;
3 . Reject the introduction of Ordinance No. 749 (Option A and Option B) for first reading.

RECOMMENDATION
Award of Professional Services Contract in the amount of $3 3,793 to Civic Plus (Icon

BACKGROUND
This report was brought to Council on January 21, 2014 for approval. Various Council
members requested additional information to help with their decision. The questions that were
raised are:
1.
2.
What is the cost to add additional text message subscribers to the NotifY Me program.
Will the City or the Vendor be hosting the website?
(please see Analysis Section for answers to these questions)
The City Website has been on line for many many years and can be located by visiting
www.ci.patterson.ca.us . Although the website has done a good job in keeping up with the
City's needs in the past, there has not been an update since 2002. The City is growing and is
getting more technologically advanced, and in an effort to redesign the website to ensure
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), update the content management
system (CMS) technology, improve content organization and visual design in order to make the
website more user friendly for the public and efficient for City staff to manage, the website needs
a major overhaul. The redesign will utilize information that already exists on the website as well
as add new content and features as suggested by City Council, the public, staff and the selected
consultant.
Although the information on the website is regularly updated by City staff, the website
technology and design have not been updated since its creation in the year 2002 and have
become obsolete. As the City grows and becomes more attractive to technology businesses such
as Amazon.com and other businesses where their operations are based on the use of technology,
the City must also continue to evolve and improve its technology and encourage interactions
with all stakeholders in the community.
With this in mind, the City formed an IT workgroup represented by one staff member from each
of the City departments including Fire, Engineering, Human Resources, Administration, Finance,
Public Works and IT. For the past few months, this group has developed and completed the
Request for Proposals (RFP) for web redesign services (see attached).
The "Invitation to Bidders" notice was advertised with a submittal deadline of August 22, 201 3 .
The RFP was also sent out to a list of Qualified/Recommended Web Design Consultants. A total
of six proposals were received from the following firms:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Never Boring Associates, Inc. - Stockton, CA
Aha Consulting - Lake Oswego, OR
CivicPlus - Manhattan, KS
Civica Software - Newport Beach, CA
Vision Internet - Santa Monica, CA
GovOffice Web Solutions - Saint Paul, MN
Once all proposals were obtained, the IT Workgroup met to review and score all the proposals.
All the proposals were scored for the following criteria:
1 . Functionality: Ability to meet the design and content management system requirements
as specified in the RFP.
2. Company 's Qualifications: Based on company' s profile including organizational size
and structure, Proj ect Manager/Other Key Members. In addition, Consultant's related
experience in successful implementations of websites for local government agencies of
comparable size was highly recommended.
3 . Overall Cost: Based on total fee to provide the services for the website redesign
including content management software, implementation, installation, training, data
migration, additional hardware, licensing, ongoing technical support and other
miscellaneous costs.
4. System Infrastructure and Architecture: Based on database platform, hardware and
network requirements of the solution, licensing structure of the product and how the
content management system is designed. Consultant will be required to develop a
comprehensive site map, which shows the strategy for information architecture decisions.
5 . Responsiveness to Proposal: Based on the completeness of submitted documents and
willingness to accept terms and conditions of the City 's Professional Services Agreement.
6. Implementation: Based on the number of individuals assigned to the project, availability
of proj ect team manager for discussions and meetings with City Staff during
implementation, technical support services provided during product implementation, the
implementation timeline, and how change orders are tracked during project
implementation if warranted.
7. Training: Based on the availability and quality of training, user documentation and
online assistance.
ANALYSIS
At theJanuary 21, 2014 Council meeting, Council directed staffto look into the SMS messaging
programming for Civic Plus. They were concerned the 500 users included would not be enough
for the City. We spoke with Danny Elmore at Civic Plus to discuss this item. He let us know
they have over 1500 municipal clients and this has been sufficient for 99% of them, even for
Cities larger than Patterson. Civic Plus let us know the additional fee for another block of 500
messages would be $855 annually. This could be approved as an additive alternate if needed in
the future.
Council 's second question had to do with hosting the website. This was discussed with our IT
vendor, Recovery Logic. They let us know that there are two major factors that would affect
hosting the website. First, the band width available from the City 's current utility company is
limited and would slow down internet response times significantly. To upgrade to a higher
bandwidth would not be feasible at this time. Secondly, the storage needed to host a website is
fairly large and would require a significant upgrade to the City 's server and network. Website
vendors are setup to accommodate large websites. Their accommodations usually include
numerous network servers and are typically located in areas where larger internet bandwidths
are available.
The top three consultants were selected to move on to the next phase of the selection process
which would consist of a 20 minute presentation to the City Council, the Public and Staff:

Pro,gosal Amount

Fee Amount

500 Users
$ 855
The top three firms are highly qualified and have a long list of references for website design
services they have provided to various states and out-of-state government/municipal agencies
(see attached proposals). Presentations by these three firms were completed on November 1 2,
20 1 3 via a Special Council Meeting.
Council was given approximately eight weeks of time to review each of the firms' work and
submitted their comments to staff along with their top ranking firm. The next steps of the RFP
process are to award a contract and begin working on the redesign of the City's website. The
goal is to have the new website online by July 1 , 20 1 4 .
Based o n the feedback received from the Council, public, City Staff, and the I T Workgroup, the
recommendation to Council tonight is for a contract to be awarded to Civic Plus. Although all
three firms are well qualified and have many years of experience in the redesign of websites,
Civic Plus was able to provide the City with a proposal that included all the services identified in
the Request for Proposals (RFP) as well as provided upgrades, maintenance, support and hosting
in their total proposal. They also offer the ongoing Annual Service for the first year at no
additional cost. Their annual service fee after the 1 2 months was also less than the other two.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds have been budgeted and approved for FY 20 1 3/14 for the Website redesign. This
contract, if approved, is $3 3,793 , which is well below the approved budgeted amount. An on
going annual service fee of $3,927 will be budgeted after the first year. The first year is covered
under the project budget. l.f additional SMS users are needed a change order in the amount of
$855 could be included for an additional 500 SMS users. This is an annual service charge.

sys tem Ow n e rs h i p
U n der our standard operating model, our clients own all data and software associated with the website _ the design,
the page content, all module content, all importable I exportable data, all archived information and the GCMS®. This
allows them the peace-of-mind of remaining in total control of all website content and functionality. While hosted and
mainta ined with CivicPius, this data is never shared, and CivicPius retains tight controls over our hosting operations,
a llowing for daily site backups, redundant power and i nternet systems, site redundancy and emerge ncy recovery
proced ures.
If th e contract between your organization and CivicPius were to be canceled due to the wishes of the client, our
Support Department would work with you to transfer all associated data and software in order to make a smooth
transition to the clienfs new hosting arrangement and, if necessary, management platform.
In the highly unlikely event that CivicPius were to cease support for the software due to bankruptcy, acquisition, a
chan ge in business operations or other circumstances, you would also receive full and complete control of all website
data and software.
Under either circumstance, provision of the core code, all associated modules and functionality would allow the client
to move the entire website to an alternative hosting location without altering the management tools or modifying
operation of the website in any way.
Ongoing Training
& S u p port O p p o rtu n ities
We want your website to be an investment that holds its value over time rather than a big expense that you have to
budget for every few years. We apply this same thinking to our approach toward training and support, too. After the
launch of your website you should be able to keep current staff as well as new-hires trained and supported as they
update and maintain your site. CivicPius offers ongoing training and support, as well as the incredible resource of
more than 1 ,400 other municipalities that use the CivicPius Government Content Management System (GCMS®).

Developed for organizations that have a need to update their site frequen tly, CivicPius provides a powerful
government content management structure and website menu manageme nt system. The system allows non
technica l employees the ability to easily update any portion of your website instantaneously. The CivicPius
Government Content Management System (GCMS®) utilizes Microsoft SQL Server, ASP, JavaScript and HTML for
web development.
No HTML knowledge is needed to update your website. However, if desired, HTML code can be used throughout the
website for advanced users .
With extensive web applications in place, continual enhancement and an easy-to-use interface, our clients are the
proud owners of their websites and are excited to be part of the CivicPius community .
Additional benefits of the CivicPius GCMS® include web page version controls, customizable levels of user-rights,

and much more.
Each website begins with a u nique design developed to meet your specific communication and marketing goals,
while showcasing the individuality of your community. Features and capabilities are added and customized as
necessary, a nd all content is organized in accordance with web usability standards.
Modules are constantly being developed and upgraded to meet the needs of our clients. A list of our modules follows.
C o re G C M S® Modules
Agenda Center
...
...
The CivicPius Agenda Center is an all-inclusive agenda creation module. No longer will you have to build your
agendas in a word-processing program, print it out and pass it around the office for approval, export the final version
to a PDF a nd then u pload it to the website. Agenda Center allows for the creation and management of the entire
agenda process, from submitting preliminary items at the departmental level, to a robust and easy-to-use workflow, to
the publishing of the agenda live to the public - one smooth and seamless process .
.......
The Agenda Center not only offers a one-stop-shop for agenda creation, but upon publish of the approved agenda, a
template for the m inutes of that meeting can also be generated.

Additionally the Agenda Center ties in with the Archive Center, so published agendas and minutes can be placed in
an Archive Center category for immediate storage. You can also update your residents in a fast and timely manner by
using the Notify Me® module to send email and text message updates of published agendas and minutes.
Archive Center
The Archive Center has been developed specifically for the storage and retrieval of agendas, minutes, newsletters
and other date-driven documents. Archives can be searched by date, category or keyword, and the unique "View
Most Recent" link functionality on your website pages automatically pulls the most recently uploaded item every time
you add a new document within that category.
Business/Resource Directory
Think of the Business/Resource Directory as the Yellow Pages of your website, as it provides site visitors with links to
and information about organizations and services within your community. Site visitors can search by business or
organizatio n name or category, and entries can be organized by business (Yellow Pages-style) or by category
(topical directory-style).
The module can display useful information such as a description of the business/organization, link to an interactive
map , address, phone number, email and link to the business' website. Citizens can also download the included
i Phone App at no cost, allowing them to search for businesses or services on the go.

Quick Links
The Quick Links Module allows you to place links to related and often-requested information directly on the page of
your choice. The entire collection of these links is contained within the actual module, and is unlimited in the amount
of categories a nd links that you can provide to your users. The links can be to interior pages of you r website, to
documents and forms, or to outside websites. You can organize the links by category or item and can set them up to
auto-publish and unpublish.
Spotlight
The Spotlight function creates additional space on a webpage that allows you to highlight important text or widgets in
a compact, easy-to-update module. The information posted with this module can relate to one or more pages.
Staff Directory
If the Business/Resource Directory is your website's Yellow Pages, then the Staff Directory Module is the white
pages. A time-saving resource for your residents, Staff Directory provides detailed contact information for your staff
and various offices all in one place, decreasing the number of calls requesting contact information. You can include
as much or as little employee and department information as you deem necessary; plus, Staff Directory entries can
be linked to pages throughout your site, providing quick access to a specific department or employee's information.
Employee information can include title, biography, photo and contact links via email or form submittal (email
addresses are blocked from email harvesting programs). Website users can search the directory for a specific
employee by last name, first name or department.

Step 2:
Drag-and-drop the page or section in its new location. Changes are immediately reflected on the
site .
The page content creation functionality is separate from the overall design of the site; the content will reflect font
sizes and styles associated with the various heading levels and content types. Content changes will not affect the
design, though the site breadcrumbs, page structure and sitemap will dynamically update upon publish of any content
changes .
Unlimited pages can be created with the CivicPius GCMS® and there is no limit to the depth of pages that can be
created. You are responsible for the depth of navigation. With mega menus and dropdown and pop-out menu
functionality, you can essentially get to any page on your website within a single click if you desire .
Content Library
The Content Library features galleries full of templates and pages all at your fingertips. It is a way for you to create
and share page templates and layouts between coworkers, departments or with the entire CivicPius community. The
Fire Department is not sure what pages to include under their section? Search the Content Library. Need some ideas
on how to set up a fantastic Permits and Licenses page? Find examples in the Content Library. Want to share a great
page that you made on your website? Share it with the entire CivicPius community.
Templates and pages are categorized by type or department and available in all site sizes. CivicPius includes its own
personal picks and best practices for each type and department. Pages and templates can be voted on and rated by
your peers, with the ability to view top downloads and top contributors from the entire CP community. The highest
rated and downloaded templates will have their creator placed in a CivicPius Hall of Fame .
Content Scheduling
When creating an entry, simply select the date and time desired for the material to publish and/or unpublish. Material
can be set to auto-unpublish or it can be manually retired.
Every aspect of the system has the ability to have expiration dates. These dates are logged in an Expiring Items
Report and can have an automatic email sent to you 72 hours before it is set to expire. When items expire they are
unpublished from public view but will remain in the system until someone manually removes them from the archive.
This allows you to bring the page back at any time with updated content.
Content Versioning
The GCMS® includes version control, a history log for reviewing changes made within the system, file locking
through our permission system and an archive of all published content so that previous versions can be accessed or
used, if necessary.
Archived content can be viewable by the public if desired, but is typically not shown on the public-facing side of the
site and just housed within the Archives. Administrators and staff with module access may access those archives;
others will not see them.
Dynamic Layout
The layout for your website is determined by you and the designer. The placement of navigation and dynamic areas
are important in guiding site visitors to key information quickly and easily. Our consultants make recommendations
based upon website-user studies and research on best practices.
Dynamic Page Components
Events Calendar, FAQs, Opinion Poll, News Flash and other new features may be included as dynamic page
components. Dynamic Page Components may be placed on any page and will help dedicated areas of the site
appear as its own website. For example, the entry page for your Parks and Recreation Department can be
customized with specific lists of events, FAQs and news announcements pertaining to that department.

Most information is constantly changing and needs to be updated frequently. With CivicPius, each department is
ca pable of updating their own content. Even though each department can update their own information and web
pages , the menu structure, top of page, banner and navigation throughout the site remains the consistent.
A central administrator is given the ability to establish groups with specific rights and capabilities to update the
website. Users are then assigned to those groups based upon the role they will have in updating the website. Users
of the administrative system may be defined as publishers or authors of the content, or as administrators of modules.
A central publisher for each department can then approve the pages .
LDAP Authentication
LDAP authentication provides our clients with a powerful and simple way to manage users and permissions within our
system by syncing your website up with your existing active directory database, negating the need for multiple user
upload and sign-on. Features of this functionality include:
•
Log on with existing network account credentials
•
Automatic user creation
•
Automatic permissions setup
•
Integrate with other non-LDAP authentication systems
•
Easy-to-use "remember me" sign-in
•
Security features like "next required login"
Because LDAP authentication requires custom programming time, additional fees apply.
Link Redirects
This is helpful in marketing an area of your website by creating a web address that is easy to remember. Instead of
sending your users to http://civlcplus.comlincfex.aspx?oid"'351 , you can send them to http://clvicplus.com/awards . A
more obvious link is great for print materials and much easier to tell people how to find a particular page on the
website.
Maps - C l ickable, JavaScript or Flash
Help website users find commonly requested information such as:
•
Bus schedules
•
Parks
•
Walking tours
•
Bike paths
•
Trash pick-up schedules
•
Location of highways
•
Tourist attractions
•
Education information
•
Major employers
•
Demographics

I!])
Map s can be customized as simple, clickable maps through the use of our I mage Map Editor, or more sophisticated
Java Script or Flash (additional fees required for Javascript or Flash development). Either one provides a great way to
present your community to web visitors.

going live.
B u i l d i n g n ew pages and sect i o n s
NavBuilder is a Web-based system included with the CMS that allows staff to create new pages and
folders/sections within the site. Once new pages have been created , the system will create the page on the
site, using either a simple HTML blank page or a predefined template-based page. (Currently there are 1 35
different templates with the system, with multiple variation options.) The system automatically populates the
associated site indexes and metadata.
The n avigation structure and all associated drop down menus are also created from with the NavBuilder
system . This includes the ordering, layout, colors and styling of the menus. The system includes full rights
control and has multiple configurations allowing advanced users expanded control of the site navigation
system .
A dynamic, cascading Site M ap is also i ncluded with the system and is automatically generated and updated
as the site structure is modified .
Do c u m e n t secu rity
The C ivica CMS system features a flexible, yet powerful , page and document security system. Tr1e system
can be configured to password protect from a single page to the whole of the site if required. The system
allows for multiple accounts, so that different areas of the site can be secured using different security
credentials if required. Any data-sensitive areas of the site will be secured using this feature.
I n t erfacing with oth e r systems
Given the API specifics, Civica can develop the proper interface to allow the CMS to communicate with an
external API . Included with the CMS is the ability to communicate with the most common API 's - Facebook,
Twitter, RSS, Flickr, etc.
The Civica CMS has NavBuilder and Modular tools, which can produce, site reports, which detail any broken
or missing links. The C MS framework strictly adheres to ADA compliancy, with build-in features to
accommodate screen readers, multiple screen sizes, cross-browser compatibility, and increased font sizes
for the visually impaired.
The HTML Editor has a built-in smart spellchecker to prevent spelling errors.
Erna i l m a n agement
The Email Manager is a full-service mass email and text communication distribution solution. It enables
communication with large lists (50,000+). as well as with individuals. CMS users can create newsletter or
announcement emails using built-in temp lates or custom tools. Distribution lists are managed from within
the module, with an opt-in feature for spam and blacklist compliancy.
Capable of handling an unlimited number of mailing lists, this module provides you with wide-ranging public
communication opportunities to subscribers. Community members can then manage their subscription
directly via a simple online m an agement area on the Web site.
In addition to public communications, staff can configure private lists and send communication and update
notices to a specialized list, such as the media, local agencies or other i nterested group. Civica has
considerable experience with integrating this module with vendors that have the capability to send audio, to
telephones, cell phones etc. from a single source.

Consultancy /eva luation
Civica Software does not undertake a redesign of any of its client's Web sites without a comprehensive
review of the existing site, a complete discussion of our findings as well as a wide-ranging discussion of your
goals and objectives. Our t:Jxperience has shown that this preparatory work is essential for us to understand
both your immediate and long term desires.
While many see local agencies as monolithic structures that all do the same thing, we have witnessed each
Civica client offer unique issues and challenges which had to be understood before they could be resolved .
Our track record speaks for itself. We are proud of the results we deliver, and have achieved a great level of
success from knowing what, and with whom, you are seeking to communicate.
Web site design
Once the consultancy phase is completed , your new Web site will be completely redesigned, making it more
graphically appealing, content rich, easy to navigate while clearly communicating the unique image of the
Patterson . J ust as i mportant, the new Web site will be easy for staff to manage. Updating will be dispersed
throughout as many employees as you wish , enabling each department to update its own portion of the site.
A unified theme will be apparent though all departments. The City's branding will be consistently displayed
on every Web page, using non-flash friendly OHTM UjQuery elements where appropriate. Civica designers
will interface closely with all departmental stakeholders throughout the entire design phase to ensure not only
that the new strong graphical direction reflects your unique personality, but that it speaks directly to the
various target audiences. All authorized stakeholders will be able to review every element of the site as it
takes shape on a dedicated , password protected, Web server.
Web site tra i n ing
Civica Software 's CMS is designed so that no technical skills are required to manage content on the site.
Training actually begins during the design phase as users become familiar with the system by having access
to the above referenced development site. As the site is being completed, a full user training process occurs
prior to "going live." Typically, users quickly gain full capability to post items to the site.
At the same time, a limited number of staff is given more extensive training to enable them to administer the
site. Civica will supply you with tools and training to enable staff to rebuild and restructure the site without the
need for a vendor interface. This will help then in order to adapt the site to changing technologies and other
future needs. This training also includes the ability to completely add departments or pages, and to enable
them to provide for future redesigning of the site, or any elements within it, should that be required.
Development and engineering
Civica brings a breadth of experience to our public sector Web site projects. Since users are not always
aware of departmental structures, the site architecture will ensure that all information can be found quickly no
matter how the user approaches it. We are expert at making all government services , programs and
functions very quickly accessible through Civica's intuitive and powerful search engine, which is an integral
feature in all Civica CMS im plementations.
The site will promote t he serv1ces supplied and supported by Patterson, present and future, and provide a
stable upgrad eable platform for all e -governrnent. e--cornrnerce, mobile and other internal resource
initiatives,
both currr�nt and future. It can facilitate and integrate a wide range of online transactions including third party
software applic ations such as for payrn n ts, etc.

CivicaAssist C R M a n d m o b i l e req uest for service p rogram
for the City (o pttonal/fLttu re)
Citizens increasingly demand better service from their governments. Designed to streamline the i nteraction
between citizens, residents and local governments, CivicaAssist can economically help a local government
greatly improve its service to its constituents.
CivicaAssist is a mobile Request and Issue Management system designed from the ground up specifically for
Government. It is scalable for all sizes of cities, counties and special Districts. The core architecture was
designed by the same team that created the award-winning Civica Content Management System that has
been deployed in hundreds of government Web sites.
White it helps citizens get detailed information they are seeking in the shortest amount of time, on a 24/7
basis, CivicaAssist also has tremendous benefits for the local government itself, including :
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reducing paperwork, thereby improving productivity
Establishing the City on the forefront of technology and i nnovation
Automatically routing customer requests to the appropriate staff person
Generating smart request-specific forms to facilitate entry of appropriate information
Supporting automatic "nag" and reminder features informing staff and supervisors about unresolved
cases, reducing the number of requests going unfulfilled
Monitoring trend analysis, customer concerns and types of issues coming into CivicaAssist
Generating rich reports for local government administrators and employees specific to their needs
and inquiries
With C ivicaAssist, constituents can easily:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Submit requests for i nformation, trouble reports, and violation reports online and, unless anonymity
is requested, receive e-mail, phone or mail acknowledgements and updates
Communicate directly with the correct staff to resolve the request or issue
Verify the location of the reported incident
Track and review the status of their request at any time
Create "member" accounts allowing them to review the status of requests without re-typing contact
information
Tap into the Knowledge Base/Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to find out general information
related to their inquiry category
Get instant answers via departmental Live C l1at feature
At the same time, employees can:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Access the request queue of their specific area of responsibility via secure online connections
Respond online to requests associated with their department
Assign maintenance teams to access and repair reported damage
View complete historical request information, sorted according to their needs
Add a request o r report into the system on behalf of a resident
Check the "member" list to review and validate request history for a specific person

Dear Selection Committee Mem bers,
Thank you for the o p portunity to submit a proposal for the redesign of the City of Patterson's
website. Based on your specifications and the thoroughness of your RFP, we can see creating a
comprehensive website designed to enhance the comm u n ication efforts of the City is a top
priority. This is particularly exciting to us because we are always looking for opportunities to
create showcase websites, j ust as we have done for the City of Cupertino, the City of Mill Valley,
and Yolo County.
Many com panies offe r interactive tools, but only Vision I nternet will take the time and care to
implement a site unique to the City of Patterson. We have created websites for large cities, like
the City of Atl anta, and small cities like the Town of Dillon. These clients had different needs.
You will , too. Each element of the site, including the graphic desi gn, functionality, and ongoing
services will be configured to suit the City of Patterson, now and in the future.
Vision I nternet is the i deal partner to lead your transformation:
•
•
•
Experie nce: Our core team has worked together over the past decade to create
h undreds of government websites across the US.

With Vision Internet, you a re s u re to receive a website that delivers on its potential . Using our
in-depth consultation process, we create u nique solutions tailored to o u r government clients'
most pressing concerns. We will build your website from the ground up with your needs and
objectives i n mind. Taking the time to fully understand your City and the needs of your
community, we approach your project by answering these three i mportant questions:
•
What is the purpose of the website?
"
Who is it designed to serve?
•
How will we know when we are successfu l?
Based on our initia l understanding of your R FP, the focus of your current website and our
extensive knowledge of local governments' needs, we believe the primary reasons for
redesigning the website are:
"
Provide citizens and businesses with more timely and useful information.
•
M a ke it easier for website visitors to find the information they need.
"
Distribute content management and authorship to non-technical staff members
throughout the City.
To fulfi l l these objectives and reach your target audiences, we
recommend:
Attractive Design: A website design that reflects the
City of Patterson, draws people in, and makes it
im mediately obvious that the website is the best
place to get information and access resources.
I ntuitive Navigation: Information should be easy to
find with the m ost important information accessible
from the home page to make it easier for website
visitors.
Y'lsion �o nt§!nt M£n�g�m�nt _Sy�tem:� : The City of
Patterson should also implement a proven content
management system to facilitate content updates by
non-technical staff throughout the city.

included compone nts and features, please see Appendix 1: visionCMS™ Component H i ghlights
o n page 40.
E N OTIFICATION
Increase communication, draw i n more repeat users, and get i m portant i nformation o ut more
quickly, using our email based e Notification tool. Our tool provides a sign-up box allowing users
to add their email addresses to receive i m portant notices, and set their p references for the
eNotifications they would like to re ceive. Each registration is verified via a confirmatio n email
that the user m ust respond to i n order to complete the registration p rocess. This same
mechanism allows each user to change preferences i ncluding opting out from subscription lists.
To better manage the eNotification p rocess, your staff can see how many subscribers there are
for each category, p l us edit subscriber information and export the subscriber database for use
in other systems. Add itionally, a m a rketing dashboard allows admin istrators to track the nu mber
of sent emails and the o pe n rate.
The best part about our e N otificatio n tool is that it also i ntegrates with the Calendar, Job
Postings, R FP Postings, a n d News components, giving you the ability to broadcast event and
news content from your website to your subscribers. There is no need to recreate the content.
This integrated approach enables your users to sign up for d ifferent types and categories of
content on a single subscription page in order to have it delivered d i rectly i nto their email box.
EXTRANET (MEMBERS ONLY)
Vision I nternet can im plement a n Extranet where restricted content is integ rated into the main
city website. The restricted content is not viewable by users until they log i nto the website (i . e.
designated staff or elected officials). Once they log in, they will see the additional content
within the menus or as an additional section to the main website.
When im plementing the Extranet, you may want to have different levels of information access.
With our Extranet tool, you can d efin e an unlimited number of g ro ups such as designated staff,
executive management, a n d elected officials. Registered users can belong to any number of
groups and any number of gro u ps can be associated with m ost pages in the Extranet. Once
implemented, the website visitors will need to log into the website using a username and
password to view the secure pages.
The Extranet functionality is i nclu ded as part of the following com ponents: Business Di rectory,
Calendar, Document Central, Facility Di rectory, FAOs, Forms Builder, J o b Postings, News,
Pages, Photo Gallery, R F P Postin gs, S ervice Directory, and Staff Directory.

0NECLICK SOCIAL N ETWORKING
The i nnovative OneCiick Social N etworking1M component will allow your staff to post content to

exam ple s of where we have used this a pproach, including the C ities of Newport Beach, CA;
Ran cho Cordova, CA ; and m a ny others .

Another approach is to create a web i nterface for existing third-party databases. We used this
a ppro ach in displayi n g tax records exported from a mainfra me system for Vanderburgh County,
I N ; crim e statistics from California state d atabases for the C i ty of Citrus Heights, CA; Contractor
inform ation from city databases for City of H a m i lton, OH; and staff and student contact
i nformation from school databases for the UCLA School of Law.
These are j ust a few examples of o u r extensive experience working with third-party databases
and systems. While interfaces to third-party systems are not included within the budget, they
a re available for an additional fee. We will provide a firm q uote for interfaces after analyzing the
databases and req u i re ments d u ring the consulting phase of your project .

If the City has talented .1'-JET developers on staff and is i nterested in an enterprise solution,
Vision Internet o ffers a Developer Plan. This approach in c l udes a full copy of the source code, a
copy of the SOL database used by the visionCMS"', a perpetual license for the City to modify
code for your own use, a user guide and technical guide, and o n-site technical training with a
Vision Internet developer to learn about the C MS code. This plan will equip your developers to
m odify the code a n d make customizations as needed. Let us know if you are interested in
exploring this o ption and we can provide a pricing estimate for you.
The City can also opt to have no on-going contract a n d sim ply pay for support and maintenance
services as needed. This option can be utilized by c l ients who host with Vision Internet or host
in-house.

The Vision Process is the result of long-term, de icated staff
that have built and refi ned our strategy for � ver srxteen ye ars.

The original creators of the process tram a l our proJ � Ct

excellent res u l ts every time. We have been fortunate to enjoy
the l oyalty of l ong-term staff a n d feel our clients tr u ly benefit

from their experience and expertrse. I n fact, our process has
led to many innovations that have since become ind ustry

Included in the scope of yo ur project i s our standard
consulting service where we collaborate one-on-one with your
internal p roject m anager through conference calls and online meetings. Alternatively, we c a n
come onsite for an additional fee o f $4,860 which includes onsite consulting with you r p roject
manager and project tea m . D u ring the onsite meeting we can gather requirements from
m u ltiple stakeholders and guide the group to consensus via g roup discussions. All travel
expenses are included.
Each stage of our six-step process includes formal review and approval points ensuring that the

In the Lau nch Stage, the website is moved to the production server. Our launch process
includes the installation of necessary software, making configuration changes, and transferring
code and content. Once transferred, we again go through the final quality assurance process to
ensure the site transferred correctly plus do a fin a l check for broken links, Section 508
compliance, and others. The site wi ll be available to the public upon your final approval.
Once your website has l aunched, Vision Internet will continue to offer support for your website.
This includes access to our SPARK Customer Resource Center and our visionlive1M subscription
service. Please see page 20 for details on these services.
The frontend of the website will be tested in the browser/operating system combinations

Due to our extensive experience creating governme n t and
education-related
websites a nd
implementing
content
ma nagement systems, we are able to offer the City of
Patterson a unique solution at a cost normally associated with
the canned solutions that many of our competitors provide.
We are certain that in reviewing this proposal, you will realize
Vision Internet clearly stands out above the com petition and
is the best choice for guaranteed results. While our bid may
not have the lowest initial investment, many times we are
lower over the life of the website because we do not have
required ongoing fees. Our clients tell us that we provide the
best overall value. It is our extensive experience, attention to
detail, and commitment to q uality that makes the d ifference.
While there are many imitators, only one company delivers a
website with Vision.

The visionCMSrM is the most advanced government-focused content management system

In the case of an e mergency, it is extremely important for cities to reach out to residents in the
most efficient way possi ble. By doing so, potentially l ife-saving information reaches those who
n eed it most. Notifying the City's website users is simple with the Emergency Alert banner .
The notice is easily customized and can be prepared in advance with common evacuation or
shelter information. As some users may not access the website throug h the homepage, when
activated, the Emergency Alert wil l prominently display across the top of the website of every

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are
a website staple that visitors have
come to expect. While traditional
FAQs consist of long lists of questions
that
may
overwhelm
users,
our
com ponent provides a simple a n d easy
way for them to find the information
they need. Website visitors are a ble to
browse the list of q uestions (and
answers) by categories you define.
M u ltiple categories may be assig ned to
each question so that your visitors will
be able to find answers based upon the
category that best matches what they

The Friendly U R L Redirect component a l l ows you to change the address of any page on the City
of Patterson website to www.ci.patterson.ca.us/

It is i m portant for cities like the City of Patterson to provide their residents with advanced
features for requestin g services online, saving both you r users and your staff time. Vision
Internet can implement our advanced govTrack CRM™ for your website.
You r residents will be able to make service and information requests based on categories
defined by the City. Users can a lso send comments a n d files (such as photos of a street lamp
requiring maintenance, g raffiti that needs to be removed, etc.) to the case processor so that
they will have a clearer idea of the work that needs to be done. These requests will be
automatically routed to the appropriate case processor and a confirmation email wil l be sent to
the user. Passwords p rovided to users will allow them to log-in and track the progress of their
request throughout the process. Users will a lso receive emails updating them on their requests.
Additionally, because govTrack CRMTM is integrated with the included Freq uently Asked
Questions component, your users will a lso be able to check for common solutions to thei r
problem before sending it to the City.
Assigned case processors will be n otified of service req uests by email. After logging-in, an easy
to-use q ueue will show them a list of pending requests, including highlig hted overdue projects.
Either City staff or a contractor ca n be assigned as a case processor and receive service
requests; since req uests do not need to be accessed via the Vision Content Management

By posting news on your site, you will
i m p rove communication with your target
a u diences. Our experience is that news
can take many forms, incl ud ing press
releases, feature stories, a n d "what's

content .
With
our
News
component, each of these types of news
can be i mplemented onto a single
section of the website o r have their own
separate a rea. To ensure usa bility for
website visitors while provid i ng simplicity
for staff, news content is automatically
moved to a n archive sectio n at a
predefined
interval
after publishing.
Website visitors can also browse the
a rchive by category. This is a g reat way
to provide a historical archive while
making
site
ad m inistration
easy.
Additi o nally, RSS feeds of news items are
automatica l ly available to website visitors.

NOT£· The News component integrates with eNotification for broadcasting information to
subscribers via email.
Nothing spices u p a website l i k e pictures. With our Photo G allery component, your website
visitors can browse through i ma g es of you r beautiful city and its exciting events. Users can view
p h oto a l bums defined by your staff, and either look at i mages via thumbnails or a slide show.
Simply upload the i mage from the I m age Library to the new album and add a caption;
thumbnails are created and added to pages based u pon the predefined tem plate. What a g reat
way to save staff time while l ivening up your website!
To m a ke future Requests for Proposals simpler, easier to manage, and more cost effective, the
website can include an RFP Postin g s where they can be posted along with amendments and
updates.
Potential ve ndors ca n download RFPs in a PDF format. Because RFPs are time sensitive, you can
sched u l e when the RFP posting would be live on the website and when it would be removed,
thus ensuri ng your website is kept u p-to-date with minimal staff time requ ired. Additionally the
RFP Postings can be i nteg rated with our eNotification system to alert users by email.

It is often d ifficult for website visitors to
find the correct person to contact in a
government agency. However, the useful
Staff

component
greatly
simplifies this search. It can l ist all staff
persons,
departments,
even

agencies and partners, along with their
contact information and description of
their rol e or a rea of specialization. Your
website users will love the convenience,
simplicity, and accessibility; they can
easily filter the list of staff based u pon
name, department, o r other criteria
determined to be important to them .
Add itionally, your staff will be pleased
that they can
make their email
addresses available to others without exposing their contact information to spammers. Our
component " masks" email addresses so that email-harvesting software used by spammers
cannot automatically extract them from your website.
This ha ndy a d m inistrative feature p rovides website administrators a snapshot of website
activities. An i n itial search ca n display expired content, created or updated content, then can be
further filtered by content type or by department. Need to q u ickly find out what section of your
website hasn't been u pdated for a while? Curious to see which department has been most
actively creating new content? The Updated and Expired Content Manager makes website
oversight easy!
The Version Control feature lets site administrators save m u ltiple versions of any page on the
website. This provides for easy restoration of site content i n the case of an unintended edit or
delete. Additionally, if content changes seasonally, m u ltiple versions can be queued u p a n d
ready to g o - then published with a s i n g l e click!
