4. CONSENT CALENDAR
    (The Consent Calendar consists of routine items which will be approved by one
     motion and one vote unless removed for separate discussion) 

   A.  City Manager

     (1) CITY OF PASADENA AGREEMENT WITH PACIFIC BELL AND
           STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE PROVISION OF
           TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
           Recommendation of City Manager:   
           (a) Authorize the City Manager to enter into the Master Agreement for
           the Provision of Telecommunications Services and Products between
           Pacific Bell and the State of California for a period of one year for an
           amount not to exceed $550,000; the proposed contract is exempt from
           competitive bidding, pursuant to City Charter Section 1002(H), contracts
           with other governmental entities or their contractors; and
           (b) Authorize the City Manager to extend the contract for up to four

               It is further recommended that the City Council grant this contract
           an exemption from the competitive selection process of the Affirmative
           Action in Contracting Ordinance, pursuant to Section 4.09.060(C),

     (2) EXPENDITURE OF ASSET FORFEITURE FUNDS TO FACILITATE
           THE MOVE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S SPECIAL
           ENFORCEMENT SECTION TO THE HENS TEETH DEVELOPMENT
           Recommendation of City Manager:   Approve a journal voucher

           is highly likely that significant tenant improvements and security
           concerns would need to be addressed.
