DATE: August 19, 2025
TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Chavarria, PE, Director of Public Works
Robert Armijo, PE, Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Dan Santos, Assistant Engineer
Subject: Contracts with Nema Construction, Net Electric Inc., St.

Electrical Construction Services
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this item will authorize the City to enter into four on-call contracts for electrical construction services, each with a not-to-exceed amount of $750,000 per year
over a three-year term, with the option for up to two oneyear extensions of $250,000 per year.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The City Council is being asked to consider awarding oncall contracts for electrical construction services to four qualified contractors. These contracts—each with a notto-exceed amount of $750,000 per year over a three-year term, and two optional one-year extensions of $250,000
per year—will provide as-needed support for capital
projects, emergency repairs, and electrical system
upgrades across City facilities and infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution approving on-call electrical construction services contracts with Nema Construction, Net Electric Inc., St. Francis Electric, and Telstar
Instruments, each in an amount not to exceed $750,000
per year for a three-year term beginning August 21,
2025, through August 21, 2028, with two one-year
extension options of $250,000 per year – Public Works
(Dan Santos 510-620-6645/Robert Armijo 510-620-
5477).

DISCUSSION
The City of Richmond’s electrical infrastructure—including systems within public buildings, parks, and the public right-of-way—requires timely, expert maintenance to ensure safety, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance. The proposed on-call electrical construction services contracts will enable the City to quickly mobilize qualified contractors for a range of urgent and routine needs without the delay of individual procurement cycles.

These on-call services will directly support critical Public Works functions such as:
 Power System Maintenance: Troubleshooting and repair of electrical panels, breakers, generators, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and transformers in municipal buildings.
 Lighting and Signalization: Installation and repair of traffic signals, street lighting, photovoltaic systems, and flashing beacons to enhance roadway visibility and safety.
 Electrical Infrastructure Improvements: Small- to mid-scale construction and repairs, including trenching, conduit installation, wiring, and upgrades to control systems in public facilities and parks.

These contracts are essential to the successful implementation of capital improvement projects, emergency repairs, and upgrades tied to the City’s asset management programs.

The City publicly solicited qualifications for as-needed electrical construction services via BidsOnline on March 24, 2025. Submissions were opened on April 18, 2025, with a 1582

DocID #49829v1
total of five (5) proposals received. A panel of Public Works staff with technical expertise in electrical and infrastructure systems evaluated the proposals. Selection criteria included relevant project experience, understanding of the scope of work, ability to manage multiple assignments, and demonstrated capacity to deliver services on time and within budget.

Contractor Rater 1 Rater 2 Rater 3 Rater 4 Average
Nema Construction 83 80 92 82 84
Telstar Instruments 81 75 80 78 79
Net Electric Inc. 67 60 82 69 71
St. Francis Electric 85 86 86 88 86
Volta Electric 0 0 20 5 8
The fifth firm was not selected due to a significantly lower evaluation score and deficiencies in the submitted documents, which did not adequately demonstrate the firm’s ability to meet the City’s performance and scheduling requirements. The selection panel determined that awarding contracts to the top four firms would provide sufficient coverage for the City’s anticipated workload while ensuring quality and responsiveness.

Based on this evaluation, City staff recommends entering into on-call contracts with the four highest-ranked firms: Nema Construction, Net Electric Inc., St. Francis Electric, and Telstar Instruments (Attachments 1,2,3, and 4). Each contract will have a not-toexceed amount of $750,000 per year over a three-year term, with up to two optional one-year extensions of $250,000 per year. Work will be authorized through task-specific Work Authorizations, and funding will be encumbered at the time of assignment based on available appropriations within CIP budgets or other funding sources.

This on-call structure provides needed flexibility to address a wide range of electrical construction needs across City operations and capital projects while ensuring compliance with procurement standards and operational efficiency.

Consequently, City staff is requesting the City Council adopt a resolution approving oncall electrical construction services contracts with Nema Construction, Net Electric Inc., St. Francis Electric, and Telstar Instruments, each in an amount not to exceed $750,000 per year for a three-year term beginning August 21, 2025, through August 21, 2028, with two one-year extension options of $250,000 per year.

EXHIBIT G

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).

Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”). Contractor understands the meaning of the following terms used in the SCCO:
a. "Data Broker” means either of the following:
i. The collection of information, including personal information about consumers, from a wide variety of sources for the purposes of reselling such information to their customers, which include both private-sector business and government agencies;
ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."
Contractor understands that it is not eligible to receive or retain a City contract if at the time the Contract is executed, or at any time during the term of the Contract, it provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to ICE.

Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.

By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing. Any person or entity who knowingly or willingly supplies false information in violation of the SCCO shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a $1,000 fine.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

Type 2 – Page 1 of 3
Revised: September 2011
In all instances where CONTRACTOR or its representatives will provide professional services (architects, engineers, construction management, counselors, medical professionals, hospitals, clinics, attorneys, consultants, accountants, etc.) to the City of Richmond (City), the City requires the following MINIMUM insurance requirements and limits.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.

CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.

CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.

City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.

Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

Minimum Scope of Insurance – the following forms shall be provided and coverage shall be at least as broad as the following:

1. Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage (ISO Occurrence Form CG 0001), and including coverage for bodily and personal injury, property damage, and products and completed operations (if applicable).

2. Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability coverage (ISO Form CA 0001, Code 1, Any Auto).

3. Original and Separate Additional Insured Endorsement for General Liability (ISO Form CG 20 10 11/85 or its equivalent) with primary and non-contributory language.

4. Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the State of California including Employer’s Liability coverage.

http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/index.aspx?nid=61.

General Liability
(primary and excess limits
combined)
$2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the policy includes a general aggregate, either the general aggregate shall apply separately to this project, service or location or the minimum required aggregate limit shall be twice the per occurrence limit ($4 million aggregate limit).

Policy shall be endorsed to name the City of Richmond as an additional insured per the conditions detailed below.

Waiver of Subrogation
Endorsement Form

City of Richmond - Insurance Requirements - Type 2:

Professional Services
Type 2 – Page 3 of 3
Revised: September 2011
Claims-Made Policies
If any insurance policy is written on a claims-made form: 1) the retroactive date must be shown, and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. 2) Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. 3) If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective date, the Contractor must purchase an extended period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.

The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.

Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.

Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manger. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.

Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.

Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.

Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

primary, our obligations are not affected unless any of the other insurance is also primary. Then, we will share with all that
other insurance by the method described in
Paragraph c. below.
b. Excess Insurance
(1) This insurance is excess over:
(a) Any of the other insurance, whether
primary, excess, contingent or on any
other basis:
(i) That is Fire, Extended Coverage,
Builder's Risk, Installation Risk or
similar coverage for "your work";
(ii) That is Fire insurance for premises
rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
(iii)That is insurance purchased by
you to cover your liability as a
tenant for "property damage" to
premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; or (iv)If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not
subject to Exclusion g. of Section I - Coverage A - Bodily Injury And Property Damage Liability.
(b) Any other primary insurance available
to you covering liability for damages
arising out of the premises or operations, or the products and completed operations, for which you have been
added as an additional insured.
(2) When this insurance is excess, we will
have no duty under Coverages A or B to
defend the insured against any "suit" if
any other insurer has a duty to defend
the insured against that "suit". If no
other insurer defends, we will undertake
to do so, but we will be entitled to the
insured's rights against all those other
insurers.
(3) When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of
the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
(a) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in
the absence of this insurance; and
(b) The total of all deductible and
self-insured amounts under all that
other insurance.
(4) We will share the remaining loss, if any,
with any other insurance that is not
described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance
shown in the Declarations of this
Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach each
insurer contributes equal amounts until it
has paid its applicable limit of insurance or
none of the loss remains, whichever comes
first.

If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer's share is based on the ratio of its
applicable limit of insurance to the total
applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.

5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this
Coverage Part in accordance with our rules
and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium only.

At the close of each audit period we will
compute the earned premium for that period
and send notice to the first Named Insured.

The due date for audit and retrospective
premiums is the date shown as the due date
on the bill. If the sum of the advance and
audit premiums paid for the policy period is
greater than the earned premium, we will
return the excess to the first Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records
of the information we need for premium
computation, and send us copies at such
times as we may request.

6. Representations
By accepting this policy, you agree:
a. The statements in the Declarations are accurate and complete; b. Those statements are based upon representations you made to us; and c. We have issued this policy in reliance upon
your representations.

7. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance,
and any rights or duties specifically assigned in
Policy #GL 534-20-18
1657
CG 00 01 04 13 Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2012 Page 13 of 16 this Coverage Part to the first Named Insured,
this insurance applies:
a. As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b. Separately to each insured against whom
claim is made or "suit" is brought.

8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others
To Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of
any payment we have made under this
Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to
us. The insured must do nothing after loss to
impair them. At our request, the insured will
bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and
help us enforce them.

9. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part,
we will mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal not less than 30 days before
the expiration date.

If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice.

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).

Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”). Contractor understands the meaning of the following terms used in the SCCO:
a. "Data Broker” means either of the following:
i. The collection of information, including personal information about consumers, from a wide variety of sources for the purposes of reselling such information to their customers, which include both private-sector business and government agencies;
ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."
Contractor understands that it is not eligible to receive or retain a City contract if at the time the Contract is executed, or at any time during the term of the Contract, it provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to ICE.

Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.

By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing. Any person or entity who knowingly or willingly supplies false information in violation of the SCCO shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a $1,000 fine.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

In all instances where CONTRACTOR or its representatives will provide professional services (architects, engineers, construction management, counselors, medical professionals, hospitals, clinics, attorneys, consultants, accountants, etc.) to the City of Richmond (City), the City requires the following MINIMUM insurance requirements and limits.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.

CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.

CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.

City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.

Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

No previous Council action taken.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

Richmond’s Community Police Review Commission is an
independent civilian oversight body focused on the
Richmond Police Department. However, the Commission
has been studying policies of other cities to find more effective policies to better carry out their duties and provide more effective civilian oversight and align with current statewide and nationwide best practices.

Neighboring cities have implemented more accessible
and transparent oversight systems, which the
Commission feels would help strengthen accountability
and public trust within the community and RPD.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: DISCUSS and APPROVE advancing seven policy recommendations of the Community Police Review
Commission into a meet and confer process with the
Richmond Police Officer’s Association (RPOA) and the
Richmond Police Management Association (RPMA) –
City Attorney’s Office (Dave Aleshire 510-620-6509).

AGENDA
REPORT
1693

Page 2 of 12 ends

August 19, 2025
DISCUSSION:

I. Introduction
The Community Police Review Commission (“CPRC”) recently undertook a substantial and systematic review of its current practices and procedures. It compared its processes to those of other police oversight entities in the Bay Area and throughout the state, as well as those recommended by experts in the field, like the National Association of Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement (“NACOLE”). That effort revealed various opportunities to enhance Richmond’s civilian police oversight policies and practices to align with current best practices.

Through this effort, Commissioners identified thirteen (13) recommendations to the Commission’s practices and procedures that, if implemented, would (a) reduce systemic barriers in the complaint process making it more accessible to the local community, (b) provide greater transparency to the community regarding the Richmond Police Department and the operations of the CPRC, (c) enhance the Commission’s investigative capacity providing for greater accountability, and (d) ensure that all Commissioners are fully trained to do the important and sensitive work of the Commission. The CPRC voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed changes.

II. Actions taken to date
Today, the CPRC is requesting that the City Council consider supporting seven (7) of the thirteen (13) original recommendations. Two (2) of these recommendations have already been approved by the City, including the request to amend the enabling ordinance to require Commissioner training, and the request that a fulltime Confidential Investigator be hired to support the CPRC’s efforts. On June 24, 2025, the Council authorized the first reading an ordinance amendment (Richmond Municipal Code Chapter 3.54), mandating that all Commissioners participate in at least eight (8) hours of training, including Police Officer shadowing such as ride-alongs, participation in the Richmond citizen academy or other similar activity within six (6) months of appointment as well as actively participate in ongoing training. Second reading of the ordinance is currently on for the August 19, 2025 meeting.

Regarding the Confidential Investigator, the City has already initiated a formal recruitment process with assistance from The Byers Group, to support the work of the CPRC. The job posting went live on June 12, 2025. The City also hired short-term investigators in the interim.
1694

Page 3 of 12 ends

August 19, 2025
Two (2) other original recommendations have been determined to be duplicative of current CPRC powers. For instance, the CPRC enabling ordinance already provides the CPRC with the power to “review and evaluate the policies, practices and procedures contained in the Richmond Police Department Manual and develop programs and strategies to promote positive police community relations and make appropriate recommendations to the Chief of Police.” (Richmond Municipal Code Section 3.54.080 – Power and Duties (a).) Any evaluation of RPD policies, practices and procedures would necessarily depend on a review of Police Department operational data. For instance, to understand how an RPD policy is interpreted and/or implemented by the RPD, would necessarily require a review of the RPD data pertaining to the policy and its execution or use in the field, regardless of whether an actual complaint has been filed. Adding an “automatic” review of RPD actions is unnecessary, as such review is already within the CPRC’s purview under its power to review and evaluate RPD policies, practices, and procedures.

Similarly, the current “purpose” language of the CPRC ordinance is already quite broad, which states that “[t]he purpose of [the] Commission is to promote positive relations between the community and the police department and to advise the City Council, City Manager and Chief of Police on all matters pertaining to the administration of the Richmond Police Department. (Richmond Municipal Code Section 3.54.010 – Creation and Purpose.) This language already empowers the CPRC to advise City leadership on “all matters” pertaining to the administration of the RPD making the earlier suggested revisions to the CPRC statement of purpose unnecessary.

Finally, the fifth original recommendation that the Commission be granted a path to seek legal counsel independent of Richmond’s City Attorney is unworkable. While it was initially modeled after the Rent Board’s structure, it has caused some challenges for the City, including the potential for conflicting legal advice and substantial legal risk in a sensitive personnel area subject to litigation.

III. CPRC otherwise recommends seven (7) actions for consideration

1. Extend the period for filing a complaint from 120 days to one year.

Background:

Under the current structure, community members have 120-days to file a complaint from when the incident occurs. This limitation creates significant barriers for certain individuals who would otherwise seek redress. Factors such as emotional distress, lack of awareness regarding the ability to file a complaint or associated deadline, and delays in gathering evidence can easily hinder a person’s ability to submit a timely complaint. 1695

Page 4 of 12 ends

August 19, 2025
Additionally, certain incidents may involve complex circumstances, requiring more time to process or investigate, or to possibly engage legal counsel.

Extending the period to one-year provides a more equitable process, allowing individuals ample time to assess their options and perhaps file a complaint. The 1 year limitation aligns with the statute of limitation for investigations of police misconduct under Penal Code Section. Of course, this is likely to increase Commission workload.

NACOLE notes that “[o]ne year is commonly allowed for citizens to file complaints.

However, oversight agencies may be granted discretion to extend the time frame for a complainant’s non-availability based on circumstances beyond his/her control.”1 Regional Comparisons:

Richmond’s current 120-day deadline is among the shortest in the region. Most neighboring jurisdictions, such as Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco allow longer periods recognizing that equitable public access to justice requires flexibility.

For example
● Oakland has no time limit
● San Francisco has no time limit
● Berkeley provides 180 days with exceptions
● Riverside provides 6 months
● San Diego has no time limit
● Santa Ana provides 1 year
By extending Richmond’s deadline to one year, we not only increase accessibility, but also bring the City into alignment with regional best practice standards.

2. Change the standard of review for misconduct from “clear and convincing evidence” to “preponderance of the evidence.”
Background:

The current standard of review used by the Richmond Community Police Review Commission (CPRC) is “clear and convincing evidence.” This threshold is significantly more stringent than the standard practice for civilian police oversight agencies, at both the state and national levels that employ the “preponderance of the evidence” standard when reviewing cases.

1 https://www.nacole.org/complaints
1696

Page 5 of 12 ends

August 19, 2025
“Preponderance of the evidence” is a legal term for the standard of review applied to weighing evidence when reviewing a complaint. It permits a finding of misconduct when the evidence supports a conclusion that it is “more likely than not” the alleged misconduct has occurred.

The “preponderance of evidence” can be contrasted with the “clear and convincing evidence” standard of review, which permits a finding of misconduct only when the evidence supports a conclusion that it is “highly probable” the alleged misconduct has occurred. The “highly probable” standard is more difficult to prove.

The “preponderance of the evidence” is also internally used by the Richmond Police Department when conducting investigations, creating misalignment when the CPRC evaluates the evidence under a higher standard. Adopting the “preponderance of evidence” standard would ensure consistency across internal and external accountability measures and better uphold the public’s trust in a fair and accessible review process.

Comparisons:

Neighboring jurisdictions and other agencies that employ the “preponderance of evidence” standard include:
● Berkeley’s Office of Director of Police Accountability and Police Accountability Board
● San Francisco’s Department of Police Accountability
● Oakland’s Community Police Review Agency
● Los Angeles’ Office of Inspector General and Citizen Review Board ● Long Beach’s Citizen Police Complaint Commission
● San Diego’s Commission on Police Practices and many more

3. Increase the Commission’s scope of review to include review and investigation of all complaints against Richmond Police Department Officers.

Background:

Richmond currently employs an unusual hybrid system for receiving and reviewing complaints against police officers, which limits the authority of the CPRC to review of the majority of complaints filed.

The CPRC’s current scope only permits review of complaints alleging:
● Unreasonable and excessive use of force
1697

Page 6 of 12 ends

August 19, 2025
● discrimination
● sexual misconduct and/or sexual harassment
● discharge of a firearm at a person and/or when death or serious bodily injury results from direct police action
All other categories, including improper search or arrest, negligence of duty, harassment, dishonesty, or interference with First Amendment rights, are reviewed only by the Police Department’s Office of Professional Accountability (“OPA”), not a civilian oversight entity. Only after the OPA completes its review, which can take years, may the complainant can file an appeal with the CPRC within ten (10) days of OPA’s determination. This system significantly restricts the community’s ability to access independent oversight, leading to reduced accountability and lack of transparency.

Independence as a key feature of a civilian oversight system.2In fact, according to NACOLE, a “key question is whether the oversight system is sufficiently independent— in terms of political, professional and financial independence and authority—to do what is needed and what is asked of it.”3 One of the CPRC’s primary purposes is to provide independent review of complaints involving police misconduct. This function should not be limited by complaint categories. Expanding the scope of the CPRC to review all complaints is essential for accountability and transparency. It empowers the CPRC and thereby the community to identify patterns of possible misconduct, systematically track incidents, and recommend policy through a proactive Commission. Operating under a broader scope of review allows the CPRC to more intentionally define and categorize the type of complaints it receives. The general categories such as “discrimination” is too broad and can mask important details, making it harder to identify trends. By specifying the nature of the complaint, whether it involves race, gender, housing status or another factor, the CPRC can more effectively monitor issues and recommend targeted reform efforts. With the addition of a full-time investigator, the CPRC will have the capacity to provide such oversight, but it also requires the authority to do so. The broader scope will also increase transparency, enhancing community trust.

complaint with the independent Office of Director of Police Accountability or the police department’s Internal Affairs division.

San Francisco: Department of Police Accountability reviews “all complaints regarding police use of force, misconduct or allegations that a member of the Police Department has not properly performed a duty,” except for complaints filed by other members of the Police Department. See San Francisco Charter Section 4.136(d) and San Francisco’s Complaint Form.5 The police department’s internal investigation unit is not involved in reviewing complaints from civilian members of the public.

Oakland: Community Police Review Agency is required to investigate complaints from the public alleging use of force, in-custody deaths, profiling based on a protected characteristic, untruthfulness, and violation of First Amendment rights. It may also investigate complaints alleging any other type of misconduct at the discretion of the Police Commission (Oakland’s community volunteer board). All complaints filed with the agency are also forwarded to the police department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, which may conduct its own investigation. See Oakland CPRA Home Page6 and Oakland’s Complaint Form.7

4. Allow for anonymous complaints and redact complainants’ and witnesses’ names on public documents.

Anonymous Complaints:

Requiring complainants to identify themselves may deter individuals from coming forward with complaints due to the fear of retaliation, privacy concerns, or immigration status or are navigating vulnerable circumstances such as fleeing dangerous situations, risk of exploitation, discrimination or even deportation. Prohibiting anonymous complaints limits access to justice and to the process. Allowing anonymous complaints promotes a safer and more inclusive environment, encouraging broader community participation and protections.

Removing the signature requirement for filing a complaint furthers these goals.

According to NACOLE, “[c]omplaint forms may require a signature under the penalty of perjury. This may have a chilling effect on a person’s willingness to file a complaint.

The reason for the language is to deter false allegations against the police. One way to minimize the chilling effect while still minimizing the number of false allegations is to not

have the language on the initial complaint form, but an agency might choose to include it if/when the complainant provides a sworn statement to the oversight agency.”8 Regional examples:

Other civilian oversight agencies that allow for anonymous complaints:

San Francisco: City Charter mandates investigation of that all complaints within its jurisdiction, including those filed anonymously. Anonymous complaints have the same level of legitimacy as those with identifying information and may lead to disciplinary action or prosecution when warranted. According to an investigator with over 25 years of experience, anonymous complaints have not posed any issues in terms of processing an investigation. As long as there is credible evidence of misconduct, the department proceeds with the investigation, regardless of whether the complainant participates.

While the absence of a complainant may affect the weight of a case, investigators rely on alternative sources such as vehicle numbers, officer identification, incident location, arrest records, CAD data, and official reports to substantiate misconduct allegations and pursue accountability.

Oakland: Community Police Review Agency also allows for the community members to submit anonymous complaints.9 The city’s oversight website explicitly affirms that anyone may file a complaint and outlines the type of critical information that can help strengthen their complaint.

Impact and Data:

Anonymous complaints received by the San Francisco Department of Police Accountability:
● 2024: Q2 (Pg 10) report 34 out of the 204 complaints (17%) ● 2023: Annual report (Page 12): 29 out of 785 complaints (4%) ● 2022: Annual report (Pg 15): 4 out of 704 complaints (1) Redact Complainants’ and Witnesses’ Names on Public Documents:

Official documents of the CPRC, including those associated with the complaint process should be redacted to remove personal identifying information in order to protect individual privacy and prevent misuse. Currently, complainants' full names appear on the published public case summaries on the CPRC’s website, and a simple internet search can lead directly to those records. This level of exposure puts individuals at risk for potential fraud, discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Such a policy would bring CPRC in line with established personal data protection regulations, such as HIPPA and

encourage more broader participation in the complaint process by ensuring confidentiality.

5. Authorize the Commission to issue subpoenas for the production of books, papers, documents and other evidence.

Background:

The CPRC’s enabling ordinance allows for the CPRC “to subpoena witnesses to testify at the hearing concerning the complaint” but does not authorize the CPRC to issue subpoenas for the production of documents, records, and other evidence. This authority significantly enhances the Commission's ability to fulfill its duties by expanding access to a broader range of evidence, enabling more comprehensive and thorough investigations into police misconduct and supporting its work in providing civilian oversight of the Richmond Police Department.

This expansion aligns with best practices for police oversight agencies across the state, where robust investigative tools are considered essential for maintaining accountability and transparency. In many effective civilian oversight models, subpoena power is a key component that ensures full access to the records necessary to conduct impartial and effective investigations.10 Providing subpoena power, also reinforces public trust in the CPRC’s ability to conduct independent, unbiased, and transparent investigations.

Most California cities with civilian oversight bodies have given those bodies the power to subpoena documentary evidence as well as witness testimony, which supports their essential independence from the police department. For example:
● Berkeley: “The Director of Police Accountability and the Police Accountability Board may issue subpoenas to compel the production of books, papers, and documents, and the attendance of persons to take testimony, as needed to carry out its duties and functions.” (Berkeley Charter Section 125(20)(c).) ● Oakland: Police Commission powers include the power to “issue subpoenas to compel the production of books, papers, and documents and take testimony on any matter pending before it.” (Oakland Charter Section 604(b)(3).)

6. Require the Confidential Investigative Officer to publish an annual report pertaining to the work of the CPRC.

Background:

The CPRC currently does not publish an annual report detailing its work, outcomes, or impact limiting the community’s ability to understand the CPRC’s role, effectiveness, credibility, and areas for improvement. To ensure transparency and accountability, the

10 https://www.nacole.org/subpoena_power
1701

August 19, 2025
CPRC recommend that the Confidential Investigator prepare and publish a comprehensive annual report every year. Public disclosure of such information will foster community trust and reinforce confidence and accountability, aid in identifying trends and patterns for areas of improvement, ensuring the oversight system remains responsive to community needs, and aligns with principles of effective civilian oversight.

Such report should include all of the following:

A. The CPRC’s processes and procedures for investigating alleged police misconduct.

B. A summary of complaints filed that year including outcomes, timelines showing the time between complaint filing, investigation completion date, CPRC review date, recommendations made by the Commission, and the City’s final disposition of the complaint.

C. A summary of CPRC evaluations conducted regarding the RPD policies, practices and procedures, as well as CPRC reports and recommendations pertaining to RPD policies, practices, procedures, and programs and any responses thereto.

D. CPRC reports and recommendations to the City Council, City Manager and Chief of Police, and responses thereto.

E. A summary of training and education of Police Officers and of Commissioners.

F. Trends and patterns pertaining to vehicles stops, citations and arrests, searches and seizures, use-of-force incidents, officer-involved shootings, use of less-than-lethal force such as use of batons, tasers, WRAP devices, canines, less-lethal projectiles, chemical agents, and firearms, as well as other data the Confidential Investigator finds to be relevant at the discretion of the Officer.

This practice will foster public trust and confidence in the CPRC’s investigative process and encourage Commission accountability, and provide essential feedback as to areas of improvement.

Examples:

Most civilian oversight bodies throughout California and the U.S. produce regular public reports whether its quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis, demonstrating that regular reporting is both practical and essential to responsive oversight. Other cities and agencies that compile and publish annual reports include: Oakland Community Police 1702

7. Make all non-confidential records and reports available on the City website, except those prohibited from publication or production.

Background:

Currently, Richmond does not make these materials readily accessible. California Penal Code Section 832.7(b)(1) permits the disclosure of records related to reports, investigations, and findings, including investigative reports, evidence, transcripts, and documents setting forth findings or recommended findings. Certain information must be redacted from the records before they are made publicly available, including the names of complainants and other civilian informants. Generally, police officers involved may also be disclosed, subject to certain important exceptions.

Other California cities, such as San Francisco and Riverside, publish non-confidential materials for public access and review. Adopting a similar practice in Richmond would enhance transparency and accountability by informing the community about the CPRC’s investigations and determinations. This would foster greater public trust and encourage the public to engage more meaningfully with the Commission and streamline communications to reduce the burden on City staff by providing access via a centralized platform.

Other California cities have successfully implemented a similar program, in accordance with SB 1421 and SB 16, which mandate public access to certain Police Personnel Records including uses of force and misconduct investigations.

Oakland: Maintains a public-facing database with access to various categories of “nonconfidential” records, pertaining to officer-involved shootings, use of force incidents resulting in death or great bodily injury, as well as dishonesty, sexual misconduct, excessive force, failure to intervene, prejudice and unlawful arrest or search. Records are not available until all investigations and appeals are exhausted.

San Francisco: Similarly, San Francisco hosts a webpage where community members can access nonconfidential records related to officer-involved shootings, great bodily injury, dishonestly, unlawful arrest or search, biased policing and excessive force.

IV. Meet and confer process pursuant to the Meyer-Milias-Brown Act with the Richmond Police Officer’s Association and Richmond Police Management Association
The City has been advised by legal counsel representing the City on employment matters that the updates referenced in Sections 1 through 7 above will likely require bargaining with the Richmond Police Officer’s Association (“RPOA”) and Richmond Police Management Association (“RPMA”) through a “meet and confer” process. Staff understands that the City is currently or will soon be entering into such bargaining with the RPOA and RPMA. CPRC staff has raised these updates with the City’s employment counsel, who recommends that these items be included in the current meet and confer process. The CPRC now requests that the City Council direct legal counsel representing the City in the meet and confer process to add each of the items approved hereby into the current meet and confer process. It further requests that CPRC staff be kept informed as to the status of that process and consulted as to any alterations of the requested updates prior to any agreement to make such alterations or concessions regarding any of the requested updates.

Attachments – None.
