STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Robert A. López, Chief of Police
DATE: June 15, 2022
SUBJECT: Request to Approve Contract to Assist the Police Department Records Bureau to Purge Records
SUMMARY
This report requests City Council approval to enter a contract with PRI Management Group (“PRI”) to assist the Police Department in the purging of a large amount of old files. Police Department staff prepared a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) which was advertised and posted on the City’s website.
PRI was the only organization to submit a response to the RFP.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate up to $37,440.00 from the Law Enforcement Development Impact Fees account #208-30-340-51101-00000; and
2. Authorize the Chief of Police, or his designee, to complete all appropriate documentation necessary to complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund. This project will be funded exclusively by the fund identified above.
BACKGROUND
The Police Department Records Bureau is responsible for the safekeeping and eventual purging of official police reports, citations, and other files. Chronic understaffing of the Records Bureau over many years has left staff unable to purge these files, as their attention is completely taken by the processing of new, incoming records. The lack of time to sufficiently purge all police records on schedule has resulted in a large accumulation of excess materials that exceeds storage capacity.
This could also result in future challenges due to our inability to conform to the City's official Retention Schedule and our possession of records which should have been purged years ago.
PRI will identify all records to be purged, complete all work needed with the courts and Department of Justice, and physically purge all appropriate records. Records that remain within the Retention Schedule will be organized, categorized and stored in a manner which makes them readily accessible and manageable in the future. All purging will be conducted in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Records Retention Schedule.
LEGAL REVIEW
The proposed contract has been reviewed by the City Attorney as to form and content.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may choose to give staff other direction.
ATTACHMENTS
1. The RFP is available at the City Clerk’s Office and on the City website.
2. Responsive proposal from PRI Management Group.
