CONSENT CALENDAR
Resolutions
Item 8j. Purchase of an Automatic Vehicle Location System and Mobile Data Computers. On
January 22, 2014, the City Council authorized the International Association of Chiefs of Police
to conduct a strategic operational analysis of the Police Department. One recommendation
from the study includes the Police Department to purchase and install an Automatic Vehicle
Location (AVL) system, which improves coordination between Police Dispatch, Police Officers,
and Police Field Technicians. Staff recommends the sole source purchase and installation of
an AVL system from Versaterm, Inc., due to compatibility issues with existing City equipment. In
addition, each Police Officer and Police Field Technician is currently equipped with a mobile
data computer (MDC), which relays information to Police Dispatch. The Police Department's
current inventory matches the service level of providing each Police Officer and Police Field
Technician with a MDC. However, the inventory does not account for malfunctioning
equipment or take into consideration the hiring of upcoming academy graduates. Therefore,
staff recommends the purchasing of an additional 40 MDCs to meet future demands. The
funding source to implement these recommendations is from the Board of State and
Community Corrections. These funds have accumulated over the last three years and are
currently deposited in a City Trust Account.
Bids
Item 8ag. East California Area Sidewalk Proiect. This project includes the construction of curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks in the East California Area using HUD funds. A total of three bids were
received in response to the solicitation. The lowest bid was from Jim Alfter Cement Contractor
(Contractor) in an amount of $477,125. Due to favorable pricing, additional HUD funds are still
available to construct curbs, gutters, and sidewalks in the qualified HUD area. Therefore, staff
recommends awarding the construction contract to the Contractor in an amount not to

exceed $750,000. Future work in the qualified HUD area would be based on the Contractor's
approved unit price on this project.
REPORTS
Item 1la. Report and Implementation Plan by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
During the FY 2013 -14 budget process, Vice Mayor Weir requested staff to formulate a multi-
year strategic planning document for the Police Department that focuses on improving
response times. On January 22, 2014, the City Council authorized the International Association
of Chiefs of Police (IACP) to conduct a strategic operational analysis of the Police
Department. The final report, which is located in the agenda packet, contains 34
recommendations grouped into two priority levels. An IACP representative will present their
findings and recommendations to the City Council as well. Staff has identified approximately
$2,375,000 available to implement the recommendations that require staffing, equipment, or
capital. The proposed two -year funding to implement the plan is a combination of General
Fund resources and AB 109 funds. On October 22, 2014, staff will bring forth proposed actions
for City Council consideration.
