DISCUSSION:
Each fiscal year, the City of Richmond Police Department (RPD) enters various contracts with Contra Costa County and the State of California for services related to police operations. The costs of these services are based on fee schedules, Memoranda of Understandings, and/or legislative action(s). Each contract, and the estimated annual expense, is listed as a line item in the Richmond Police Department fiscal year operating budget. These contracts are for mandatory operating expenses associated with the day-to-day operations of the Police Department and include access to Department of Justice and County records, fingerprint identification, forensic lab analysis, booking fees, jail access, inmate extradition, radio maintenance, and recruit officer training.
To improve administrative efficiency, City staff are requesting City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute specific contracts, interagency agreements, and/or purchase requisitions listed in the resolution provided the contract, or requisition, amounts do not exceed the amounts listed for each fiscal year. Other than the adjustments made to estimated costs and the addition of one fiscal year, this resolution is identical to the prior years adopted resolutions including Resolution 158-20 for Fiscal Years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, Resolution No. 87-22 for Fiscal Years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, and Resolution No. 69-24 for Fiscal Years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.
