Policy Committee Recommendation: Send the item to the City Council with a qualified positive recommendation, as revised by the committee and subject to legal review.
Financial Implications: See report
Contact: Lori Droste, Councilmember, District 8, (510) 981-7180 Action: Moved to Consent Calendar. Adopted the policy revision as introduced in the supplemental material submitted by Councilmember Taplin. Councilmembers Droste and Hahn added as co-sponsors on the supplemental material.
In accordance with California law, individuals on probation, parole, Post Release Community Supervision, or other supervised release status may be subject to warrantless search as a condition of their probation. Officers shall only conduct probation or parole searches to further a legitimate law enforcement or rehabilitative purpose. Searches shall not be conducted in an arbitrary, capricious, or harassing fashion.
Officers shall not detain and search a person on probation or parole solely because the officer is aware of that person's probation or parole status. Individuals contacted or detained who are found to be on searchable Supervised Release for Violent Offenses1 may be searched pursuant to the terms of their Supervised Release conditions. The decision to detain a person and conduct a probation or parole search or otherwise enforce probation or parole conditions for those on supervised release for nonviolent crimes2, should be made, at a minimum, in connection with articulable facts that create a reasonable suspicion that a person may have committed a crime, be committing a crime, or be about to commit a crime or which demonstrate that the individual is connected in some way to criminal activity or that the individual is an imminent threat to officer or citizen safety.
In the conduct of all such detentions and searches, officers shall consciously avoid the application of bias, shall not use such detentions or searches as a means to harass or annoy, and shall not conduct such detentions and searches in a manner that targets or is discriminatory toward any protected class.
1 Offenses involving the use of force, the threat of force, the use or possession of a weapon, sexual violations against the person of another, human trafficking, and the use of force or threats to public safety. Battery on a Peace Officer (Penal Code § 243(b)), Reckless Evasion in a Vehicle (Vehicle Code § 2800.2(a)), or a violent felony as defined in Penal Code § 667.5(c).), fall into the categories of violent crimes, weapons offenses, sex crimes and/or crimes involving threats to public safety in accordance with state law.
2 “Non-Violent Offenses” are defined as offenses in which violence or use of a weapon or threat to life safety is not a factor.

6. Coordinate with agency staff to include all relevant records (agendas, minutes, etc.) from Rent Board and Housing Authority in Records Online Portal.
7. Update any remaining 404 pages to explain that the City’s website has been moved/updated, and provide links to helpful pages, search functions and/or pathways to access responsive materials. As quickly as possible, consider implementing redirects with wildcards to direct as many old links to relevant new website pages in lieu of the standard 404 page. E.g. cityofberkeley.info/planning* to the Planning Department site map/homepage, or Department Specific 404 page explaining new navigation.
Refer to the City Manager the following additional improvements to Records Online:
1. Within Records Online, provide unique archival/search categories for each City Commission, Board, Committee and Rent Board, and consider other useful categories, to assist users in narrowing results and identifying responsive materials.
2. Allow Records Online search results to be sorted by date and by other searchable factors. Consider means to integrate records online into default site search bar.
3. Explore and report back to Council options for improving the scope of Records Online, improving search options and sorting, and making all materials – or materials from January 1, 2000 (or an earlier recommended date) forward, searchable using internet search engines.
