Item #08
Date: October 20, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Vance Nabeta, Police Chief
Subject: Authorize Submission of an Application for the FY 2026 ANGEL Grant Program Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to submit an application to the U.S.
Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, for up to $469,650 under the FY 2026 Assisting Neighborhoods and Governments with Enforcement of Laws Grant Program; to execute application documents, certifications, and assurances necessary for submission; and, if an award is offered, to return to the City Council for acceptance and appropriation of the grant funds.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The proposed Marysville Rapid Identification and Intelligence-Led Enforcement Project would replace the Police Department's legacy computer-aided dispatch and records management system and deploy one stationary and a mobile Livescan device. These investments would improve positive identification, records accuracy, incident-based reporting, intelligence development, and secure information sharing with regional and federal partners addressing violent crime, gangs, and transnational drug trafficking. The competitive grant provides up to $500,000, requires no local match, and would allow the City to request $469,650.
Background:
The U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, issued the FY 2026 Assisting Neighborhoods and Governments with Enforcement of Laws Grant Program under Assistance Listing 16.076. The program supports law enforcement operations, investigations and prosecutions, and technology that helps agencies identify, locate, apprehend, investigate, and detain criminal offenders.
Marysville is a compact county-seat city of approximately 12,700 residents that experiences the operational demands of a larger regional center. The Police Department works with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security Task Force Sacramento, and other regional agencies.
Discussion & Analysis:
The Department currently faces two related capability gaps. First, its legacy CAD/RMS limits the ability to connect people, aliases, addresses, vehicles, and associates across cases; exchange complete case information with task-force and prosecutorial partners; integrate efficiently with CLETS and NCIC; and support full NIBRS/CIBRS incident-based reporting. Second, officers lack mobile biometric equipment to confirm the identity of people who provide no identification, false names, or unfamiliar documents.
Officers may have to transport a person to the Yuba County Jail for identification or proceed without timely confirmation of identity.
Item #08
The proposed project addresses these gaps through the following components:
• CAD/RMS replacement - $425,000 for agency-wide software licensing, implementation and configuration, CLETS/NCIC and Livescan interfaces, legacy-data conversion, training, and maintenance and support through the grant period.
• Livescan capability - $40,000 for one installed stationary Livescan station and one mobile fingerprint device, configuration, California Department of Justice certification, training, and extended warranty.
Implementation would occur over 36 months. Procurement would be completed during Months 1 through 3. Livescan devices would be installed, certified, and placed into service during Months 3 through
6. CAD/RMS design, interfaces, migration, testing, training, and go-live would occur during Months 3 through 18, with a target go-live in Month 15. The remaining period would support operations, performance monitoring, corrective work under vendor support, federal reporting, and closeout.
The project is structured around measurable results. The Department would electronically submit all MPD-generated fingerprints after deployment, maintain a fingerprint rejection rate below 3 percent by the end of Year 1, record mobile field identifications in the RMS, achieve full NIBRS/CIBRS-compliant reporting at go-live, train all sworn, dispatch, and records personnel, and increase referrals to task-force and federal partners by 25 percent over the Year 1 baseline by the end of Year 3. . The CAD/RMS and Livescan providers would serve as contractors selected in accordance with City purchasing requirements and applicable federal procurement standards. Contracts would include federal clauses, CJIS security requirements, defined deliverables, and milestone-based payments. The Police Department, City Finance Department, and City information technology staff would oversee programmatic, fiscal, security, and reporting responsibilities.
Alignment with City Council Goal(s):
Goal #4 – Enhance Public Safety
Goal #6 – Strengthen Organizational Capacity
Environmental Review:
The action proposed in this item is administrative in nature and does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Legal Review:
The City Attorney has review resolutions and approved as to form.
Fiscal Impact:
Submitting the application has no material General Fund impact. The City would request $469,650 in federal funding, consisting of $425,000 for the CAD/RMS project and $40,000 for Livescan capability with 1% indirect costs totaling $4650. The grant requires no local match, and the application includes no personnel, or travel. The livescan devices would eliminate the need to travel to the Sheriff’s Office to process fingerprints, serving as an efficiency improvement and would provide for a small revenue stream through processing fees. The livescan machines would have a reasonable lifespan of 10 years before any replacement costs would be expected and would only require internet service costs.
If awarded, staff will return to the City Council to accept and appropriate the grant. The current proposal includes CAD/RMS maintenance and support for Years 2 and 3, with Year 1 support included in implementation. The projected ongoing annual cost of the CAD / RMS system is $30,000/year. The CAD / RMS is the foundational system for all public safety activities would replace the limited system currently Item #08
in place. We have applied for other funding opportunities that also incorporate a modernized CAD / RMS system given the strong need for a new system, though funds would potentially be used for separate components of the system.
