Public Meeting - Consideration of a Resolution to increase fines and fees for services at the El Segundo Public
Library Fiscal Impact Estimated increase in revenue of $7,000
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1 Open Public Meeting
2 Discussion
3 Set Public Hearing for March 7, 1995
BRIEF SUMMARY:
In accordance with the Brown Act, a public meeting is being hell for input regarding a proposed increase in library
fines and fees for services at the El Segundo Public Library.
On April 28, 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution No 3589, which set forth a schedule of fines and fees to
recover a portion of costs for certain services of the Library Services Department. The Resolution provided for an
annual increase on July 1 of each year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index.
The City Council amended Resokition No 3589 on January 5, 1993, not only to reflect Consumer Price Index
increases, but also to incorporate fees for new library services offered with the completion of the Library Expansion
Project in 1992.
At their June 14, 1992 meeting, the Library Board of Trustees approved a Proposed Library services Department
Schedule of Fines and Fees, as submitted by the Board's Committee on Fines and Fees for fiscal year 1994/95.
At the public hearing on September 20, 1994, the City Council referred the Proposed Schedule of Fines and Fees
back to the Library Board with specific direction to maintain current fee rates for residents, to consider raising fees
for non - residents, and raise computer room fees
A Special Board Meeting was held November 17,1994 At that meeting, the Trustees rescinded the previous action
and again reviewed the City Councirs suggested changes in the Proposed Library Fines and Fees Schedule A
motion was made, seconded and unanimously carried to 1) increase the current library fines and fees by 1 5 %,
representing the latest Consumer Price Index, in accordance with the mandate set forth in City Council Resolution
#3589, dated April 18, 1989, 2) to institute resident and non - resident Adult Computer Room Use Fees at the
following rates: a) Non - Resident Computer Room Use Fees are recommended at $20 per quarter; and b) Resident
Adult Computer Room Use Fees are recommended at $10 per quarter Recommended charges were based upon
a July- September 1994 Survey of Computer Room Use, supply and maintenance costs, and future upgrade cost
considerations 3) To increase the Non - Resident Library Card Fee to $40 per year The charge was based on
a survey of 31 other Metropolitan Cooperative Library System kbranes' charges for non - resident library cards, which
showed the average fee charged to be $38 per annum 4) Non - Resident Fees for reference services will not be
considered at this bme The Board will be studying this issue
Library services covered by the Library Services Department 1994/95 Proposed Schedule of Fines and Fees include
library cards, use of computers and meeting rooms, overdue book fines, interlibrary bans, repair of damaged
materials, fees for equipment use, etc The amount of the fees is calculated to partially cover, but not to exceed,
the cost of providing service The library currently receives approximately $30,000 per year in revenue from fines
and fees. If the current use of the library remains constant, the estimated amount of revenue received from the
proposed schedule of fines and fees will be $37,000, an increase of $7,000 in fines and fees revenue
Public comment is welcomed at this time.

Agenda Description: Library Fines and Fees - Rates and New Services
Recommended Council Action: Approve new services fees as recommended by
Library Board of Trustees
BCLef Summary. Library fines and fees have not been increased since April
1989 as set by City Council Resolution No 3589. While the Resolution
stipulated a review for adjustment every July 1 to reflect any increases
the most recent CPI for the Los Angeles Basin /Long Beach SMSA, no action
was taken by the Library Board of Trustees until February of 1992. The
Board had wanted to adjust fees to include those for new services to be
implemented with the completion of the Library Expansion Project.
At their February 25, 1992 meeting the Library Board completed a review,
utilizing comparative data of the other 11 Metropolitan Cooperative Library
System members, and unanimously agreed to forward the Revised Fines and Fee
Schedule for recommendation to City Council. The Finance Department has
reviewed recommended schedule, which reflects, with some exceptions, CPI
increases over a I year period. Some fees which were retained at the
current level were considered competitive with other libraries in MCLS or
exceeded current staff service costs in that category.
The Library Board has included in the Revised Fines 6 Fee Schedule
recommended charges for new services, again based upon comparisons with
similar charges in other Metropolitan Cooperative Library System Libraries.
Specific recommended charges are:
COMPUTER CARDS: -Adult $5.00 /yr.
- Children Free
- Students (with ID) $1.00 /yr.
MEETING ROOM:
Non - Profit Organizations During Regular Hours FREE
For - Profit During Regular Hours $20 /hr.
Non - Profit after Regular Hours $35 /hr.
For - Profit after Regular Hours $35 /hr.
At this time staff is forwarding the Revised Library Fines and Fees
Schedule and requesting City Council approval of new services charges to be
incorporated therein.

BRIEF SUMMARY:
Douglas Street, south of Alaska Avenue and north of Park
Place, is not contiguous and dead ends at both sides of the
existing AT &SF railroad tracks. At this location, the
Metropolitan Transportation Agency (MTA) has also constructed
the elevated Metro Green Line Douglas Street /Rosecrans Avenue
station.
As the attached chronology indicates, the City in 1965 applied
for a California State Public Utilities Commission (PUC)
approval to extend Douglas Street to connect the two ends by
means of an at -grade crossing across the railroad tracks.
This and a second application in 1990 were both denied by the
PUC. Both the PUC and the railroad opposed the new at -grade
crossing. The PUC's position has been that new railroad
crossings requested by local agencies should be accomplished
by means of a grade separation structure. The City Staff then
proceeded to pursue the grade separation project.
In 1989, $ 900,000 of Federal Demonstration Funds were
allocated for a joint project to improve the Rosecrans Avenue/
Aviation Boulevard intersection and the Douglas Street
Extension Project. In July 1990, a Joint Powers Agreement was
executed between the Cities of E1 Segundo, Hawthorne and
Manhattan Beach, designating Hawthorne as the lead agency to
implement the Rosecrans Avenue /Aviation Boulevard intersection
improvement project. $ 624,000 from the $ 900,000 federal
allocation has been obligated for the Rosecrans
Avenue /Aviation Boulevard project and the remaining $ 276,000
federal funds are available for the Douglas Street Extension
Project.
In 1991, an additional $ 3.06 million of federal funds were
allocated for the Douglas Street Project. Even with this
additional funding, the Douglas Street Grade Separation
Project was not fully funded. In 1994, Caltrans, the agency
that administers federal highway funds, notified the City that
the second $ 3.06 million federal funds had been 11de-
allocated" by the Federal Highway Administration. At this
time, Staff is not aware of any specific commitments by the
Federal Highway Administration that these "de- allocated" funds
will be re- appropriated for the project. As stated before,
even this re- appropriation will not result in full funding for
the Douglas Street Extension /Grade Separation Project.
As described in Item III of this report, currently $ 276,000
of federal funds from its original $ 900,000 allocation are
available for the Douglas Street Extension Project. The
federal funds require a 20% matching contribution from the
City.

BRIEF SUMMARY: (continued)
II OPTIONS:
Following are four (4) options regarding the Douglas
Street Extension Project.
Option 1•
The Douglas Street Extension Project could be abandoned
and City resources directed to pursuing the Aviation
Boulevard widening improvements between Rosecrans Avenue
and Imperial Highway. These improvements envision adding
one (1) traffic lane in each direction of Aviation
Boulevard which will provide additional capacity to an
alternate north -south transportation corridor parallel to
and east of Douglas Street.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works has
agreed to perform an engineering study to widen Aviation
Boulevard generally between Manhattan beach Boulevard (in
Manhattan Beach) and Century Boulevard (in Los Angeles),
which includes the segment of Aviation Boulevard in E1
Segundo. The County has agreed to fund the study, but
currently there are no design or construction funds
available for this project.
It is estimated that this project could cost $ 2.5
million (within E1 Segundo City limits), excluding right -
of -way costs.
Option 2•
The Douglas Street Extension Project could be pursued
with a grade separation structure with the new roadway
constructed under the Metro Green Line Station and the
AT &SF railroad tracks.
In the past, Staff had proceeded with this option
pursuant to discussions with Caltrans and the E1 Segundo
Employers Association (ESEA), since the PUC had twice
denied the City's application to construct a less
expensive at -grade crossing.
City Staff working with Caltrans and the ESEA developed
consultant selection procedures and a request for
proposals for consultants. On June 16, 1992, the E1
Segundo City Council approved the draft request for
proposals and authorized Staff to solicit proposals from
qualified consultants. Subsequently, proposals were
solicited and the firm of DeLeuw Cather (then known as
Parsons De Leuw) was selected to provide professional
engineering services, which included design and
construction engineering. Caltrans has now approved a
draft City - Consultant agreement for this project, which
provides for the following consultant costs:
Phase
I
Preliminary Engineering
$
279,846
Phase
II
Preliminary Design
$
290,876

BRIEF SUMMARY: (continued)
Lotion 3:
The City could re -apply for a PUC approval to construct
an at -grade crossing. The MTA has purchased the AT &SF
Railroad right -of -way at this location. City Staff held
some discussions with the MTA to explore the feasibility
of the MTA assisting the City in obtaining the PUC
approval for the City to construct an at -grade crossing
which would also facilitate ground access to the Green
Line Station. During these discussions, it appeared that
MTA is not very receptive to assist the City in obtaining
the PUC approval. Also, even with MTA's support, there
is a possibility that AT &SF will object to the at -grade
crossing and the PUC may deny the at -grade crossing.
As noted in the report, Option 4 includes an
investigation of the feasibility of constructing an at-
grade crossing.
It is estimated that this project could cost $ 1.2
million, excluding right -of -way costs.
Option 4:
This option is a combination of options 2 and 3.
The City could proceed with obtaining Caltrans approval to
execute the City -De Leuw Cather agreement for an estimated
total cost of $ 973,460 with the provision that only Phase I -
Preliminary Engineering be completed at the estimated cost of
$ 279,846. Phase I will investigate the feasibility of
constructing the roadway by means of an at -grade crossing over
the AT &SF railroad tracks. If feasible, Phase I will also
include re- applying for PUC approval of the at -grade crossing.
No further consultant design effort will be authorized until
this issue is finalized and City Council approval granted for
further action on this project.
There are currently $ 276,000 in federal funds that can
be utilized for this project. (Please see Item III of
report).
Phase I of the City -De Leuw draft agreement is estimated
to cost $ 279,846, which may be funded as follows:
Federal Funds $ 223,876
* 20% City Match $ 55,970
TOTAL $ 279,846
The City match portion can be funded from
available traffic mitigation fees paid to the
City by Continental Development Corporation
for their development at the northeast corner
of Douglas Street and Rosecrans Avenue. Staff
is recommending City Council approval of
$ 60,000 from Developer Fee contributions.

BRIEF SUMMARY: (continued)
III FUNDING:
1989 Federal funds allocated for the
combined project for Rosecrans/
Aviation improvements and the
Douglas Street Extension Project
$ 900,000
Federal funds obligated for the
Rosecrans/ Aviation Improvements
(- $ 624,000)
currently being implemented by
the City of Hawthorne as the
lead agency
1991 Federal funds allocated for the
Douglas Street Extension Project
$3,060,000
1994 Federal funds de- allocated for the
Douglas Street Extension Project (- $ 3,060,000)
(Note: ESEA has informed Staff that these
Federal Funds will be re- appropriated at the
next Federal Highway legislation, however at
this time Staff is not aware of any specific
commitments) .
Federal funds currently available for the
Douglas Street Extension Project = $ 276,000
Note:
The above federal funds require a twenty percent (20 %)
local match which may be provided by soft right -of -way
contributions. It is our understanding that the credit
for soft right -of -way contributions will be eligLble
after the project gets under construction. The City will
have to front this matching contribution during the
study /design phase.
IV RECO)MUDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize Staff to
proceed with Option 4.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 2/7/95
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo,
California, prohibiting parking of vehicles six (6) feet or more in
height on the northside of Sycamore Avenue, one - hundred seventy
(170) feet west of Sepulveda Boulevard
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt Resolution.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
During the last year, several concerns have been received regarding
parking of commercial vehicles along Sycamore Avenue, west of
Sepulveda Boulevard. The primary concern is that oftentimes
commercial vehicles are parked on both sides of the narrow street
(34 feet - curb to curb width) resulting in reduced sight distance
and clear roadway width for two -way vehicular traffic.
On 6/21/94, the City Council discussed the matter and accepted the
Staff recommendation to retain the existing parking conditions.
Staff's recommendation was based on assurances from the Travelodge
Motel's (then LAX Motel) management that it would ensure that
commercial vehicles belonging to its patrons would park on only one
(1) side of Sycamore Avenue.
It appears that the Motel has not had much success in dealing with
the problem. To correct this problem staff is recommending
prohibiting parking of vehicles six (6) feet or more in height on
the northside of Sycamore Avenue for a distance of one - hundred
seventy (170) feet west of Sepulevda Boulevard. The authority for
the City Council to impose this restriction is provided in Section
22507 of the State Vehicle Code. The net change resulting from
this action will be the loss of three (3) parking spaces to large
vehicles. Vehicles under six (6) feet will still be able to occupy
the spaces.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Resolution for adoption.
2. State Vehicle Code Section 22507.
3. Vicinity map.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:

Plant Landscape Buffer, Specifications No. PW 94 -12 (contract
amount - $ 106,000.00).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. waive minor irregularities of the low bid package, and
award contract to the lowest responsible bidder,
Landforms Landscape Construction, in the amount of
$ 106,000.00.
2. Direct Staff to prepare the necessary standard public
works contract and authorize the Mayor to sign after
approvals as to form by the City Attorney.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The City Council on 12/20/94 adopted plans and specifications for
the subject project and authorized receipt of construction bids.
At 11:00 am on 1/24/95, the City Clerk received and opened
seventeen (17) bids. Landforms Landscape Construction was the
apparent low bidder for the bid amount of $ 106,000.00.
After the bid opening, the following irregularities were noted:
1. Two (2) documents "Non- Collusion Affidavit" (Page I -C -8)
and "Equals" (Page I -C -11) were submitted without the
bidder's signature. The Non - Collusion Affidavit is a
certification by the bidder that there was no collusion
with other parties regarding the submitted bid. The
"Equals" sheet is the bidder's certification regarding
any substitution of materials in lieu of the materials
specified in the contract documents. Both these
documents do not impact the bid price and are standard
public works contract bid submittals. Since the bid
opening, the low bidder has submitted the signed
documents.

BRIEF SUMMARY: (continued)
The Bid Proposal included several items for which bidders
were required to submit unit prices with an extended
total bid price for the particular item based on
quantities. The apparent low bidder had submitted total
extended bid prices in both spaces designated for unit
prices and extended prices. The low bidder has verified
that this was an inadvertent clerical error and has
submitted the unit prices since the bid opening. This
clerical error does not change the total contract bid
amount.
Staff has reviewed the matter with the City Attorney and recommends
that the City Council waive the above bid clerical errors as minor
irregularities and to accept the documents submitted by the low
bidder since the bid opening.
Staff has contacted the low bidder's references and received
favorable responses indicating that the low bidder has
satisfactorily completed landscaping projects of similar magnitude
for both private and public agencies. It is recommended that the
City Council award the contract to the low bidder, Landforms
Landscape Construction.

III. GRANT PROPOSAL
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of El Segundo, with the assistance of Amenclean Environmental Services, Inc (AES), is
pleased to submit this 1994/95 Third Cycle Used Uil block Grant Proposal and program overview
to the CIWMR The City's intent is to initiate efforts to recycle used motor oil and filters, reduce
contamination with respect to used oil and reduce the City's potential liability under CERCLA.
The program, to be conducted jointly by the City and AES, will consist of developing a rimed
recycling center, implementing a public education and awareness program, developing a program
to aesise conttnerciallindustrial generators become registered with the State, implementing a CRC
training and monitoring program, as well as a regional outreach program with other jurisdictions
regarding uscd oil recycling Consistent with the requirements of the Third Cycle Block Grant,
these programs are as follows.
Task I Develop Certified Recycling Center
Task H Site Training and Monitoring Program
Task III Implement Education and Public Awareness Program
These program tasks will form the core of the City of El Segundo's Used Oil Recycling Program
B. BACKGROUND AND DEMOGRAPMCS
The City of El Segundo is a small residential community that is home to many of the nation's
corporate giants. A unique working relationship exists between the business and residential
sectors of the City Residents themselves are actively involved in most aspects of the City
through volunteerism The resulting sense of community creates a "hometown" atmosphere and
provides resources unavailable in most other municipalities.
L POPULATION
The U S Department of Commerce reported the City of EI Segundo's population in 1990 as
15,223 Because of limited available land, this population is not expected to prow significantly in
the future Because of worker influx to area businesses, the daytime population increases to over
100,000 people
if. HOUSING

of Los Angelea International Airport. The City encompasses 5.5 square miles, with 71 '1 °/6 7nned
for manufacturing and other industrial use; 12 7% zoned for public facilities, commercial, and
light agricultural uses; and 169/6 zoned fbr housing The City is bordered by dic Coves of Los
Angeles, Manhattan Beach and Hawthorne.
IV. 1~' X19UNG PROGRAMS
1 he City of El Segundo has no existing used oil recycling programs in -place at this time There
are no Certified Recycling Centers witlun the City and no curbside collection The City has not
participated in previous grant cycles with the CIWME
C. PROGRAM GOALS AND DESCRIPTION
The City of El Segundo proposes to provide program management, monitoring, technical
expertise, education and public awareness to promote used oil recycling. The City's used oil
program will focus on establishing a minimum of one (1) Certified Recycling Center within the
City. The City will publicize the availability of this facility, as well as educate the public regarding
the need for used oil recycling. The goal of the program will be to ninki: wed oil recycling
services available to all residents of the City as quickly as possible
Task I Develop Certified Recycling Center
The City and its Consultant will identify and assist a minimum of I (one) site to become a State
Certified Recycling Center within 90 days of beginning this project. This center will be located as
conveniently as possible to serve the greatest percentage of the population of the City.
Task H Site Training and Monitoring Program
The site training and monitoring program will be designed to ensure that the CRC developed in
conjunction with Task I operates smoothly, efficiently and in an environmentally responsible
manner Since most o£the five potential sites already identified are gasoline service stations,
which have traditionally high turnover rates, the City and its Consultant will develop a CRC
operations manual This manual will detail specifically.
CRC operations,
how to document nperatione and maintain recnrdq,
how to fill out monthly reports,
Page No 5
p�n

• how to respond to problems or emergency situations, and
• who to call for further information or assistance
This task will also include a routine monitoring piugtaim consisting of two elements. rouuno
monthly reporting by the CRC and a quarterly site inspection The monthly reporting element of
the monitoring program will require that the CRC complete and submit monthly reports to the
City detailing:
• how much oil was collected and rwyt,lcd,
• number of residents served,
• profile of who is using the CRC (how old, maleifemale, area of the City they live in, etc ),
and
• any problems encountered
The City will maintain and summarize these reports as part of its quarterly invoice and report to
the CIWMB.
The quarterly inspection element will require that the City or its Consultant conduct unannounced
visits on a quarterly basis to the site to make sure the CRC is operating as intended The site
visits will be used to identify any problems with site access, operations, housekeeping or
maintenance The City or its Consultant will work with the CRC operator to correct any
problems The periodic visits will also be used to identify any potential generator subgroups
where the City may want to focus additional effort
Task III Implement Education and Public Awareness Program
The City's education and public awareness program will consist of developing and placing
educational and promotional brochures at various point -of -sale locations throughout the City If
funding is sufficient, additional brochures will be distributed to other locations such as high
schools, lube and tune shops, etc The brochure will provide a brief description of why recycling
used oil is important as well as advertising the location and hours of operation of the CRC In
addition, the City will place articles, notices and reminders in its publications such as puhhc
announcements and notices, etc. The City will also work with the local community newspaper to
get articles printed that explain the why, how and where of used Oil recycling within El Segundo
All education and public awareness materials will contain appropriate acknowledgment of the
C1WIvIB and the Block Gant Program
If supplemental funding is secured, the City may conduct periodic education and public awareness
events in conjunction with existing public events such as Earth Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day
and New Years These events will serve as a forum for educating the public and encouraging the
recycling of used cal The City will actively seek private sector partners to sponsor these types of
events

ID. PtmDING Soulcc:r a
The City has identified only one highly probable source of funding for the program components,
the CMNS Block Grant The City and its Consultant will also pursue other sources of funding,
including private sector donations, program and/or event sponsors, conducting for -profit
activities, and reimbtasement from the County of Los Angeles for the 56 cent per ton surcharge
for H W collection and disposal

IV. ELIGIBILITY SUMMARY
The City of El Segundo is claiming conditional eligibility for the CIWN B Block Grant Program
Because the City has not participated previously in the CIWMB U W Oil Rxyding Grant
Program, it does not currently have a CRC However, the City and its Consultant have identified
several potential CRC sites within El Segundo who may be interested in participating in the CRC
program. We anticipate assisting one of these firms to submit certification forms to the State
within 60 -90 days of begmmng this project Also, if no other site is identified, the City will seek
certification for the City's vehicle maintenance yard. In either case, we aupwpate that a CRC % all
be established within 120 days.

EL SEGVNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 7, 1995
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar
AG�NDA DESCRIPTION:
Proposed Resolution extending Workers Compensation benefits to Police Reserve Officers and Explorers,
uncompensated members of City Commissions, Committees and Boards, and to City Volunteers.
Fiscal Impact: Proposal results in no additional funding cost to the City. Future costs will be on an actual
basis and in recent years have been zero.
Adopt Resolution
BRIEF SUMMARY:
All full time and part time City employees are covered under State law for Workers' Compensation salary and
medical benefits should they injure themselves on the job during the course and scope of their employment
The City is self- insured for Workers Compensation coverage and utilizes an internal service fund to account for
needed revenues and expenditures.
Volunteers play an important role in helping to support and augment the services of many of our departments
and also serve on City Commissions, Boards, and Committees
Under State law, unpaid City Volunteers may be deemed covered for Workers Compensation benefits following
Council adoption of an appropriate Resolution The proposed Resolution would allow Police Reserve Officers
and Explorers; uncompensated members of City Commissions, Comnttees and Boards; and City Volunteers to
receive necessary medical care if injured on the job Should a volunteer currently sustain a work- related injury,
their only redress for restitution is through Civil Court. Extension of Worker's Compensation benefits to
volunteers is in the public's best interest and eliminates the potential for costly civil suits In reviewing records
dating back to 1986, no claims have been filed by a City Volunteer against the City of El Segundo
Adoption of the proposed Resolution extending Workers Compensation benefits to Reserve Officers, and
Explorers; uncompensated members of City Commissions, Committees and Boards, and formally recognized
volunteers results In no additional funding costs to the City Future costs will be on an actual basis and in
recent years have been zero

AGENDA ITEM�TATEMENT
MEETING DATE: February 7, 1995
AGENDA HEADING: Consent
Request approval to solicit bids for 11 in-car video camera systems for the Police Department using
Asset Forfeiture funds at a cost not to exceed $80,864.
�1:[0191MT.I�,TI�I �
Approve the request and authorize staff to advertize for bids.
The Police Department has identified in-car video taping systems as one tool which would have useful
applications in training, increasing criminal prosecutions and reducing possible civil liability exposure.
Approved in the FY 93/94 budget was a request by the Police Department for the purchase of In-Car
Video Camera systems for it's 11 marked police units. This Capital Equipment Justification had an
estimated expenditure of $86,666.
At the December 21, 1993 City Council meeting, approval was given to purchase one unit on a sole
source basis from the Crim -Tec Corporation to assist the Police Department in determining if it would
meet the prescribed goals and objectives. After several technical delays by the manufacturer, we took
delivery of the unit in May 1994. Unfortunately, the system continued to malfunction and it was
returned to the factory for repair. The Crim -Tec Corporation has since filed for bankruptcy and our City
Attorney's office is proceeding with our claim.
Because the Police Department still believes this is a valuable tool, we received on loan in December
1994, another system from a different manufacturer for review. It has performed well and has in fact
already assisted in the adjudication of an alleged claim of misconduct by an officer. Had we not had
the video tape for review, which clearly showed no wrong doing by the officer, many hours of
investigation may have been spent looking into the claim.
Recommendation and Review:
Based upon the success other police agencies have had with in-car video cameras and the results from
our 5 week evaluation period, I am requesting that City Council approve the expenditure of Asset
Forfeiture funds not to exceed $80,864 for the purchase of 11 in-ear video camera systems.

From Tim Grnmmond, Chief of Po
Subject In -Car Video Camera Systems
Proposal:
It is proposed that Asset Forfeiture funds not to exceed $60,000 be approved to
purchase 11 in -car video camera systems for the Police Department's marked fleet
Background:
The Police Department has identified in -car video camera systems as one tool which
would have useful applications in training, limiting cavil liability exposure and assisting
in criminal prosecutions In FY 93/94, the Police Department requested and was
given approval to use Asset Forfeiture funds totaling $86,666 for the purchase of such
systems
Approval was given by City Council at their December 21, 1993, meeting to purchase
one unit on a sole source basis for validation This particular unit from the Cnm -Tec
Corporation had manufacturing delays and when delivered and installed was found to
be defective It was sent back to the manufacturer for repair and the company has
subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection Our City Attorney has filed a claim in
Bankruptcy Court to attempt to protect our expenditure
Since that time, staff has continued to research the different systems available and in
December 1995, another system was received on loan for our evaluation This
system, manufactured by Kustom Signal, has performed flawlessly During the
evaluation period, a patrol supervisor received a citizen's complaint of misconduct by
an officer Because the officer had been driving the video camera unit, the supervisor
was able to pull the video tape and review the incident which clearly showed no acts
of wrongdoing Had the tape not been available, it can be anticipated that many hours
of investigative time would have been spent on following -up the complaint
Recommendation and Conclusion
Those police departments which currently utilize video camera equipment in their
marked fleets have proven that they will assist in the reduction of false accusations of
improper conduct, out of court settlements and court time In the short exposure we
have had with the systems, I conclude that these devices can only assist the
department in meeting its stated goals and objectives

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: CONSENT
--------------------------
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Approve the purchase of one in -car video tape incident capture
system on a sole- source basis using Asset Forfeiture funds not to
exceed $6,500.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve the purchase as proposed on a sole- source basis.
--------------------------------
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Police Department has identified in -car video taping systems as
one tool which would have useful applications in training,
increasing criminal prosecutions and reducing possible civil
liability exposure. In FY 93 -94, the department requested and was
given approval to use Asset forfeiture funds totaling $86,666.00
for the purchase of such a system for it's marked police fleet.
Staff has subsequently conducted a needs assessment regarding the
application and reviewed various devices available. Three
manufactures were invited to give demonstrations and three others
were reviewed from printed material. Some of the factors used in
determining a system included ease of operation, system security
and integrity, warranty, serviceability, cost, features, past
record with other user agencies and lastly, how does it meet the
unique needs of our department. Staff has concluded that after
review of all the systems, GRIM TEC's product best meets our needs.
CRIM TEC offers a system which has a proven track record, has
survived close court scrutiny, offers features not found on other
system such as both officers in a two officer unit being able to
record their conversations on independent sound tracks, and a
heated /air conditioned trunk mounted "vault" for the tape recorder.
The recorder they use is virtually tamperproof which lends further
validity to the tape. The cost of the CRIM TEC system is also lower
than some of it's competition. No other system reviewed offers all
of these features.
It is felt at this time that the purchase of one unit for
evaluation would be a more prudent application of funds due to the
total cost involved in outfitting the entire patrol fleet.
Unfortunately, CRIM TEC does not offer demonstration models due to
the high cost of installation.
Recommendation and Conclusion:
It is recommended that funds be approved for the purchase of one
system for evaluation. Departments who currently utilize video
capturing systems had proven that they will assist in the reduction
of false accusations of improper conduct, out -of -court settlements
and court time.

Subject: In Car Video Taping System
Proposal:
It is proposed that Asset Forfeiture funds not to exceed $ 6,500 be approved for
the sole- source purchase of one in car video taping system and a sufficient amount
of video tapes This unit will allow for the Police Department to assess the
usefulness of such a system prior to purchasing units for the remainder of the
marked patrol fleet
Background:
The Police Department has identified in car video taping systems as one tool which
would have useful applications in training, field activity review, increasing criminal
prosecutions, and reducing possible civil liability exposure. In FY 93 -94, the Police
Department requested and was given approval to use Asset Forfeiture funds totaling
$ 86,666 for the purchase of such a system for the marked police fleet.
Staff has determined the specific needs of the department and researched the
various devices currently on the market. Some of the factors used in defining the
system included ease of operation, warranty, cost, serviceability, past user record
and systems security Three vendors gave demonstrations and three others were
reviewed via their printed material Staff has concluded that CRIM -TEC Systems
Inc. offers a program which is far superior and will meet the department needs
The CRIM TEC system is unique in that it allows for both officers in a two officer
car to have independent recording capabilities Other features include security and
systems integrity measures that make the unit less vulemable to court scrutiny,
heated /air conditioned trunk mounted recorder "vault ", and a virtually tamperproof
recording device. The CRIM TEC system also costs less than some of it's
competitors.
It is felt at this time that the purchase of one unit for evaluation would be a more
prudent application of funds due to the total cost involved. Unfortunately, CRIM
TEC does not offer demonstration models due to the installation costs associated
with such a system
Recommendation and Conclusion:
It is recommended that funds be approved for the purchase of one system for
evaluation. Those departments who currently utilize video incident capture systems
have proven that they will assist in the reduction of false accusations of improper
conduct, out-of -court settlements and court time This device will also serve as a
training aid to officers in the performance of their duties. f therefore conclude that
this is a device that can only assist the department in meeting its stated goals and
objectives
