721 Mr. Culver defined it as the approximate staff time to deal with the complaint(s). 722 723 Member Seigler questioned if it was only charged if a repeated occurrence, and 724 not for every call; with Mr. Johnson responding that the intent was only for 725 repeated offences to provide the city with necessary teeth if it becomes 726 problematic. 727 728 Member Cihacek stated that he would find "Performance Penalty" better 729 terminology than "Liquidated Damages." Member Cihacek also questioned if it 730 was better to include this as part of the contract language or part of the 731 solicitation; and if it occurred frequently, perhaps this endor should not be 732 retained, creating a different performance issue. 733 734 Member Wozniak suggested further discussion or some proof of how staff arrived 735 at this city cost and how it was reflected or justified in a performance penalty. 736 MV 737 Member Cihacek noted that it was important that the city not attempt to make 738 money on the performance penalty, but to determine whether the city was losing 739 money due to the perfo ce issue; noting it may not always benefit the city in 740 considering other issues.

"01lllllllll 758 759 Member Seigler noted there were only 80 reported incidents, and therefore may 760 not prove problematic in any event. 761 762 Revenue Sharing 763 Mr. Johnson reported that staff recommended retaining this as part of a future 764 contract no matter how dismal the commodities market currently looked. 765 Page 17 of 20
