San Diego City Budget and Government Efficiency Committee Meeting – November 3, 2022\n\nThe Budget and Government Efficiency Committee met on November 3, 2022 to discuss two contract extensions for debt collection systems and hear public comment. The meeting was conducted via teleconference under California Government Code Section 54953 due to the state of emergency. All agenda items were approved unanimously.\n\n### Consent Calendar\n- The committee approved the committee actions of October 19, 2022, with no public comment or opposition. The motion passed unanimously.\n\n### Public Comments & Testimony\n- Blair Beekman (speaking virtually) expressed concern about technology accountability and open public policies, referencing a recent AT&T telecom contract approved by the city council. Beekman urged the committee to ensure transparent negotiation processes and community appeal opportunities for new tech installations like 5G.\n- Joyce (caller from District Three, last four digits 7968) raised two items: 1) employee health issues related to overtime, short staffing, underpay, and increased workload, asking the city to support employees; 2) service levels and their impact by vacancies, specifically requesting the city address service levels during the FY24 budget cycle. She also noted that the Human Relations Commission has been without a full-time executive director for several years and urged the city to allocate funding for that position as required by city code.\n\n### Discussion Items\nThe committee considered two items jointly: extensions of contracts for citywide debt collection systems.\n\nItem 1: Extension of Ontario Systems Contract (Revenue Plus Collectors)\n- Staff presented a request for a two-year extension with a not-to-exceed amount of $250,000. The system (internally called "Cubs") is the core debt collection system used for parking citations, rental tax, business tax, TOT, etc. The contract was set to expire at the end of December 2022.\n- Background: An RFP was issued in 2019, a new system went live in mid-May 2022, but due to a contractual dispute the city had to roll back to the existing system. This extension is needed to prevent service disruption while the city evaluates future options.\n- The independent budget analyst had no initial comments.\n- The committee asked about future RFP plans; staff stated they would engage with PNC after the extension to explore viable options. Three vendors had responded to the 2019 RFP; one was deemed unresponsive, leaving two bidders (the legacy vendor and another).\n\nItem 2: Extension of eLIVE (formerly Compass) Contract\n- A two-year extension for annual maintenance and support of the Compass document management system, integrated with the debt collection system. Not-to-exceed amount: $12,500. This contract also expires at the end of December 2022.\n\nThe committee took public comment on both items together; no one spoke.\n\n### Key Outcomes\n- Item 1 approved unanimously: Motion by Council President Pro Tem Montgomery Steppe, second by Councilmember Elo-Rivera. Voice vote: all yes.\n- Item 2 approved unanimously: Separate motion and second, also passed by voice vote with all members in favor.\n- No other business; the meeting adjourned to the next special meeting scheduled for November 18, 2022, at 9 a.m.
