These <br />resources have included training curriculum, course materials, web -based training <br />platform, etc., via their All Access Pass subscription. The Human Resources <br />Department has dedicated one full-time Organizational Development and Training <br />Manager to provide training with the assistance of other staff. By utilizing this <br />subscription for the curriculum and course materials, this manager was able to bring <br />new courses to the City without spending time developing the materials internally. The <br />Human Resources Department requests to renew the FranklinCovey All Access Pass <br />program for a three-year period. <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-3041 authorizes the City to make non -bid purchases <br />of services, supplies, materials, and equipment whenever it shall appear that there is <br />only one reasonably available source.

FranklinCovey training curriculum, materials, and related offerings are <br />proprietary and cannot be sourced through any other supplier. Additionally, over the <br />past year, staff experience with FranklinCovey has been exceptionally positive; staff has <br />worked with the supplier to develop custom solutions for the City, and training <br />
