Traffenstedt, ATOM /City Clerk and cJ� Acting Director of Community Development DATE: January 4, 2002 (CC Meeting of 1/16/02) SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing City Manager to Approve a Professional Services Agreement between the City of Moorpark and California CD Creations, Inc., for the Scanning of City Records to Digital /Electronic Image in the Questys Software Format BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION Currently the City Clerk's Department scans various City records (including but not limited to City Council approved minutes, resolutions, and ordinances and all recorded documents) into the City's electronic imaging system (Questys software) for permanent file retention. At the time of the 2001 -2002 Fiscal Year Budget adoption, staff had proposed the scanning of all of the building permit files as well as Planning Commission minutes and resolutions into the City's electronic imaging system through the use of a qualified consultant. The City Council approved the estimated funds for this work with the adoption of the 2001 -2002 Fiscal Year Budget. Staff subsequently researched qualified consultants and is proposing that a Professional Services Agreement with California CD Creations, Inc. be approved. This company is well qualified and has been certified by Decision Management Company, the Questys software provider, to scan the City records into the Questys software format. The proposed draft Professional Services Agreement is attached to this report. Regarding building permit records, staff's intent is that all existing building permit files (including paper copies of permits and plan sheets and microfiche files) be scanned. A subsequent follow -up action will need to be the establishment of a fee to be paid at the time of building permit application that will cover the cost of scanning all future building permit files.
