Assault with a Firearm
At 8:30 AM, officers responded to a multiple round ShotSpotter activation in the area of South 23rd St and Ohio Ave. At the same time a victim called to report they had been shot at and had crashed their vehicle. Officers arrived on scene and located the victim, who luckily only sustained minor injuries. They confirmed the victim’s vehicle had been struck multiple times by gunfire. A short distance away they located the suspects, who were known to the victim. Both suspects were taken into custody without incident and a firearm was recovered from the scene.

The caller provided a detailed description of the person, but left the area prior to officers arriving. Officers located a subject matching the description near 23rd St and Rheem Ave. Upon seeing officers, the suspect attempted to flee on foot.

After a short foot pursuit, officers were able to detain the subject. During a search of the subject a loaded firearm was located. The original caller agreed to return to the scene and positively identified the subject officers detained as the person they saw point a firearm at vehicles. The suspect was arrested for the illegal possession of the firearm.

Mental Health Crisis
Officers responded for a report of a subject experiencing a mental health crisis. Family of the subject reported they had received communication from the subject where they expressed a desire to self-harm. Based on the information provided, officers requested an emergency location check of the subject’s cellular phone. The subjects phone showed them to be near Cummings Skyway. RPD coordinated with the Contra Costa Office of the Sheriff who have jurisdiction over Cummings Skyway for them to check the area for the subject. Due to a thorough search of the area, CCCSO were able to locate the subject a short distance from the Carquinez Bridge, which was believed to be the subject’s destination. RPD officers responded to where the subject was located and placed them on a mental health hold, so that they could be transported for a mental health evaluation.

Police District Summary
Central District Crime and Community Issues
The most significant and increasing issue in the Central District is prostitution activity along the 24th Street corridor, with spillover onto 23rd Street. During the month of March, numerous arrests were made for solicitation of prostitution involving both female subjects and “Johns,” as well as arrests for indecent exposure. Officers also provided services to two of the involved females. One of these individuals provided information 245
that led to the issuance of arrest warrants in another jurisdiction. Additionally, two underage girls were rescued, and arrests were made in connection with that case, which remains ongoing.

Another major concern in the Central District involves parking violations and neighborhood complaints in the area of 5th Street and Bissell Avenue. The Rock has been made aware of these concerns and is actively working with the complainant to address them.

Parking Enforcement has also been coordinating with Four Leaf to address parking issues along the 23rd Street corridor, particularly during weekends.

Northern District Crime and Community Issues
Over the past month, a primary community concern has been ongoing crime and blight at the West Ridge Apartments. The complex currently has over 100 vacant units, which has contributed to an increase in illegal squatting, criminal activity, and declining neighborhood living conditions.

The Richmond Police Department has taken a coordinated, multi-department approach to address these issues. Partnering City departments include Code Enforcement, Building Inspection, the Richmond Rent Program, the ROCK Team, Richmond Fire, and the Community Prosecutor’s Office. This collaborative effort is focused on improving safety and overall quality of life for residents.

Following an intervention meeting with property management, several corrective actions have been implemented. These include replacing the on-site management team, contracting private security for evening patrols, securing vacant and problem units, conducting daily inspections of vacant units to prevent squatting, and initiating evictions for units associated with ongoing criminal activity.

RPD is supporting these efforts through increased patrol presence and by assigning the Beat 8 Sergeant to oversee this as an ongoing project. While these changes have been implemented recently, early indicators show a positive impact, and efforts will continue to ensure sustained improvement.

Southern District Crime and Community Issues
Coordinated abatement efforts were recently conducted at the homeless encampment on Hinkley Circle. As part of the operation, Oliver's Towing removed two trailers from the site, and two vehicles were processed through the buyback program. Multiple loads of debris and trash were cleared from the area, with additional cleanup already scheduled to continue the work. To prevent future parking and re-encampment, Public Works has since installed K-rails along the perimeter.

Additional Significant Incidents from March 2026:

March 02, 2026 700 National Court Wire Theft
A passerby reported observing three suspects prying boards from around a window, followed by the sound of breaking glass, as the suspects forced entry into the building. 246
A silver sedan parked in front of the location was associated with the suspects. Officers searched the building and located all three suspects inside. Evidence of wire theft and felony vandalism was discovered. All three were arrested and transported to RPD Jail.

March 05, 2026 S. 19th St. / Cutting Blvd DUI / Child Endangerment Officers responded to a cell phone alert reporting a traffic collision near S. 19th Street and Cutting Boulevard. The suspect vehicle had struck a parked vehicle, causing major damage to both. The driver was located and immediately stated to officers that he had crashed because he was drunk. At the time of the collision, the suspect had his sixyear-old son in the vehicle. The child complained of head pain and was later treated at Kaiser Hospital.

The suspect was too intoxicated to perform field sobriety tests or provide a breath sample. He was arrested, medically cleared for incarceration, and transported to RPD.

Officers obtained a McNeely warrant, and the suspect's blood was drawn by a phlebotomist at RPD. The suspect was subsequently booked at RPD Jail.

March 12, 2026 500 block of Duboce Narcotics Sales
Officers responded to the area on a report of a possible suspect selling narcotics out of a silver Infiniti. Officers surveilled the area and observed hand-to-hand transactions via a live drone feed. Officers contacted three subjects, one of whom initially began walking away but was quickly detained. A records check revealed the subject was on searchable probation. During a search, officers located suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine, and the subject was placed under arrest for possession for sale.

The suspect consented to a search of his vehicle. Officers located paperwork bearing the suspect’s name, along with a scale covered in residue and packaging material.

March 24, 2026 100 block of 37th St. Lifesaving Event
Officers parked in the Richmond Court parking lot were flagged down by a Contra Costa Sheriff's Deputy, who requested they radio for medical aid for an unresponsive subject.

Officers located the subject on the ground, unresponsive and barely breathing.

Recognizing the signs of an opioid-related overdose, officers administered two doses of Narcan. The subject regained consciousness within minutes and admitted to using an unknown white substance prior to losing consciousness. The subject was transported to Kaiser Hospital by AMR.

Notably, the subject treated in this incident was the same individual involved in a criminal case for which one of the responding officers had recently appeared in court.

March 27, 2026 24th St. / Gaynor Prostitution Activity
RPD personnel, working with the Drone as First Responder, observed the suspect in the area approaching several vehicles. A driver of a white Honda was seen circling the block three times. During one of these passes, the suspect approached and spoke with the driver. The driver then continued circling, returned to the original location, and the suspect entered the vehicle. The two drove away, at which point a traffic stop was conducted and both individuals were placed under arrest. Both were transported to RPD Jail for booking.
247
March 28, 2026 City of Richmond Protest
The "No Kings" rally took place on this day from 1000 to 1400 hours, drawing over 200 participants. Members of the Mobile Field Force monitored the event, which concluded without incident.

March 28, 2026 W. Cutting / Canal Sideshow
Team 5 officers received information regarding a large sideshow event anticipated to begin in Pinole at 2100 hours. This intelligence was shared with neighboring agencies.

At approximately 2110 hours, roughly 100 vehicles were observed gathering near Fitzgerald Parkway in Pinole. The group subsequently dispersed and reconvened in Vallejo before arriving at Hilltop Plaza in Richmond at 2230 hours. Officers redirected the group back onto I-80, and the sideshow continued eastbound toward Fairfield.

At approximately 0130 hours, the group briefly returned to the area of Canal Boulevard and W. Cutting Boulevard in Richmond before dispersing eastbound onto I-580.

March 29, 2026 600 block of 18th St. DUI
Officers responded to a hit-and-run in which a vehicle struck multiple cars before crashing into a house. The driver fled on foot. Raven 13 (DFR), working alongside responding officers, located the driver in a backyard. He was detained and positively identified as the suspect. The suspect displayed objective signs of intoxication and was transported to Kaiser Hospital for medical clearance, where he submitted a blood sample. He was subsequently transported to RPD Jail for booking.

that led to the issuance of arrest warrants in another jurisdiction. Additionally, two underage girls were rescued, and arrests were made in connection with that case, which remains ongoing.

Another major concern in the Central District involves parking violations and neighborhood complaints in the area of 5th Street and Bissell Avenue. The Rock has been made aware of these concerns and is actively working with the complainant to address them.

Parking Enforcement has also been coordinating with Four Leaf to address parking issues along the 23rd Street corridor, particularly during weekends.

Northern District Crime and Community Issues
Over the past month, a primary community concern has been ongoing crime and blight at the West Ridge Apartments. The complex currently has over 100 vacant units, which has contributed to an increase in illegal squatting, criminal activity, and declining neighborhood living conditions.

The Richmond Police Department has taken a coordinated, multi-department approach to address these issues. Partnering City departments include Code Enforcement, Building Inspection, the Richmond Rent Program, the ROCK Team, Richmond Fire, and the Community Prosecutor’s Office. This collaborative effort is focused on improving safety and overall quality of life for residents.

Following an intervention meeting with property management, several corrective actions have been implemented. These include replacing the on-site management team, contracting private security for evening patrols, securing vacant and problem units, conducting daily inspections of vacant units to prevent squatting, and initiating evictions for units associated with ongoing criminal activity.

RPD is supporting these efforts through increased patrol presence and by assigning the Beat 8 Sergeant to oversee this as an ongoing project. While these changes have been implemented recently, early indicators show a positive impact, and efforts will continue to ensure sustained improvement.

Southern District Crime and Community Issues
Coordinated abatement efforts were recently conducted at the homeless encampment on Hinkley Circle. As part of the operation, Oliver's Towing removed two trailers from the site, and two vehicles were processed through the buyback program. Multiple loads of debris and trash were cleared from the area, with additional cleanup already scheduled to continue the work. To prevent future parking and re-encampment, Public Works has since installed K-rails along the perimeter.

Additional Significant Incidents from March 2026:

March 02, 2026 700 National Court Wire Theft
A passerby reported observing three suspects prying boards from around a window, followed by the sound of breaking glass, as the suspects forced entry into the building. 251
A silver sedan parked in front of the location was associated with the suspects. Officers searched the building and located all three suspects inside. Evidence of wire theft and felony vandalism was discovered. All three were arrested and transported to RPD Jail.

March 05, 2026 S. 19th St. / Cutting Blvd DUI / Child Endangerment Officers responded to a cell phone alert reporting a traffic collision near S. 19th Street and Cutting Boulevard. The suspect vehicle had struck a parked vehicle, causing major damage to both. The driver was located and immediately stated to officers that he had crashed because he was drunk. At the time of the collision, the suspect had his sixyear-old son in the vehicle. The child complained of head pain and was later treated at Kaiser Hospital.

The suspect was too intoxicated to perform field sobriety tests or provide a breath sample. He was arrested, medically cleared for incarceration, and transported to RPD.

Officers obtained a McNeely warrant, and the suspect's blood was drawn by a phlebotomist at RPD. The suspect was subsequently booked at RPD Jail.

March 12, 2026 500 block of Duboce Narcotics Sales
Officers responded to the area on a report of a possible suspect selling narcotics out of a silver Infiniti. Officers surveilled the area and observed hand-to-hand transactions via a live drone feed. Officers contacted three subjects, one of whom initially began walking away but was quickly detained. A records check revealed the subject was on searchable probation. During a search, officers located suspected fentanyl and methamphetamine, and the subject was placed under arrest for possession for sale.

The suspect consented to a search of his vehicle. Officers located paperwork bearing the suspect’s name, along with a scale covered in residue and packaging material.

March 24, 2026 100 block of 37th St. Lifesaving Event
Officers parked in the Richmond Court parking lot were flagged down by a Contra Costa Sheriff's Deputy, who requested they radio for medical aid for an unresponsive subject.

Officers located the subject on the ground, unresponsive and barely breathing.

Recognizing the signs of an opioid-related overdose, officers administered two doses of Narcan. The subject regained consciousness within minutes and admitted to using an unknown white substance prior to losing consciousness. The subject was transported to Kaiser Hospital by AMR.

Notably, the subject treated in this incident was the same individual involved in a criminal case for which one of the responding officers had recently appeared in court.

March 27, 2026 24th St. / Gaynor Prostitution Activity
RPD personnel, working with the Drone as First Responder, observed the suspect in the area approaching several vehicles. A driver of a white Honda was seen circling the block three times. During one of these passes, the suspect approached and spoke with the driver. The driver then continued circling, returned to the original location, and the suspect entered the vehicle. The two drove away, at which point a traffic stop was conducted and both individuals were placed under arrest. Both were transported to RPD Jail for booking.
252
March 28, 2026 City of Richmond Protest
The "No Kings" rally took place on this day from 1000 to 1400 hours, drawing over 200 participants. Members of the Mobile Field Force monitored the event, which concluded without incident.

March 28, 2026 W. Cutting / Canal Sideshow
Team 5 officers received information regarding a large sideshow event anticipated to begin in Pinole at 2100 hours. This intelligence was shared with neighboring agencies.

At approximately 2110 hours, roughly 100 vehicles were observed gathering near Fitzgerald Parkway in Pinole. The group subsequently dispersed and reconvened in Vallejo before arriving at Hilltop Plaza in Richmond at 2230 hours. Officers redirected the group back onto I-80, and the sideshow continued eastbound toward Fairfield.

At approximately 0130 hours, the group briefly returned to the area of Canal Boulevard and W. Cutting Boulevard in Richmond before dispersing eastbound onto I-580.

March 29, 2026 600 block of 18th St. DUI
Officers responded to a hit-and-run in which a vehicle struck multiple cars before crashing into a house. The driver fled on foot. Raven 13 (DFR), working alongside responding officers, located the driver in a backyard. He was detained and positively identified as the suspect. The suspect displayed objective signs of intoxication and was transported to Kaiser Hospital for medical clearance, where he submitted a blood sample. He was subsequently transported to RPD Jail for booking.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Richmond entered into a City-County Animal Services Agreement (Agreement) with the Contra Costa County Animal Services Department (County) to provide State-mandated animal-related services to the City’s residents (Attachment 1).

The Agreement began on July 1, 2022, and had a two-year term with an ending date of June 30, 2024. The Agreement provides for automatic renewal for successive threeyear terms until either party terminates the Agreement by giving the other party 90-days advance written notice of termination. On November 28, 2023, City Council approved an amendment to the Agreement to correct section 13.a.iiii regarding calculation of the annual fee.

The County calculates the annual fee using the following formula set forth in Section

13.a. of the Agreement, as amended:
i. For fiscal year 2022-2023, $7.97 for each person residing within the City limits as of January 2022. For example, if the City’s population is 50,000, the Annual Fee is $398,500.
ii. For fiscal year 2023-2024, $9.11 for each person residing within the City limits as of January 2023. For example, if the City’s population is 50,000, the Annual Fee is $455,500.
iii. For each fiscal year thereafter, the per capita rate for the Annual Fee shall be calculated using the following formula: (A) the County’s budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County in that fiscal year, minus the sum of animal licensing fees and user fees projected to be received from all County residents in that fiscal year, minus the budgeted County general fund contribution for that fiscal year, divided by (B) the sum of the population of all cities for which the County provides Animal Services. For example, if the budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County is $12,640,000, the animal licensing and user fees projected to be received are $1,620,000, the budgeted general fund contribution is $4,112,000, and the population is 866,583, then the per capita Annual Fee would be $7.97 per capita [$12,640,000 - $1,620,000 - $4,112,000) / 866,583]. For a City with a population of 100,000, the total Annual Fee would be $797,000.

The calculation of the annual fee is based on the City’s population according to the California Department of Finance Demographic E1 report published at the beginning of each Calendar year. For this reason, the City could not accurately estimate the total amount due when the agreement was first taken to City Council on July 19, 2022.

September 10, 2024, City Council approved funding in the amount of $1,374,703 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and ratified the extension of the contract term through June 30, 2025. On November 4, 2025, City Council approved funding in the amount of 255

Page 3 of 3 ends

May 5, 2026
$1,403,221 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and ratified the extension of the contract term through June 30, 2026.

In a letter addressed to City Manager Shasa Curl on February 27, 2026, the Animal Services Department stated the following (Attachment 3):

Per section 13.a.iii. in the City-County Services Agreement (attached), the city fees are the total County fiscal year (FY) cost to provide Animal Services, minus animal licensing and user fees, and minus the County General Fund contribution.

The information below details the values for FY 2026/27:

Total County Animal Service Cost $19,467,987
Total Licensing and User Fee Revenue $1,663,000
Total General Fund Contribution $6,165,512
Total City Contract Fees $11,639,475
The total per capita cost for each city for FY 2026/27 is $13.45. Based on your city’s population according to the California Department of Finance Demographic E1 report, as released May 2025, the City contract cost for animal services in FY 2026/27 is $1,527,595.

Due to the estimated expenditure amount, Department staff must receive approval from City Council prior to receiving services for any new period. Section 14.a. of the Agreement provides that the term of the Agreement has an original two-year term starting July 1, 2022, and automatically renews for successive three-year periods thereafter until either party terminates the Agreement. Except for the original two-year period starting July 1, 2022, staff has sought approval on an annual basis, but given the amount of staff time and effort, and to align with the County’s three-year cycle, staff proposes approving the final year of the first three-year period, plus a new three-year period (a total of four years), for a total additional cost estimated not to exceed $7,200,000 based on historical cost extrapolation. Note that the County assesses the City’s annual fees based on factors that vary from year to year. Accordingly, annual costs for each year cannot be determined for certain until the County completes its assessment and informs the City of the annual fees, which typically occurs during the first quarter of each calendar year.

The City of Richmond Police Department staff believes the County services are the most economically feasible way to provide animal control services to its citizens and therefore asks that Council approve funding in the amount of $7,200,000 for Fiscal Years 2026-2027, 2027-2028, 2028-2029, 2029-2030 by approving the extension of the contract term through June 30, 2030.

12. Fees and Fines. Pursuant to Food and Agricultural Code Section 30652, all fees and fines collected by the County for providing Animal Services to the City shall be deposited into the County Treasury and shall be used to meet the County’s cost of providing Animal Services to the City.

13. Annual Fee.
a. In consideration for Services provided by the County to the City, and in addition to any fees and fines imposed on City residents, the City agrees to pay to the County the following amounts (“Annual Fee”):
i. For fiscal year 2022-2023, $7.97 for each person residing within the City limits as of January 2022. For example, if the City’s population is 50,000, the Annual Fee is $398,500.
ii. For fiscal year 2023-2024, $9.11 for each person residing within the City limits as of January 2023. For example, if the City’s population is 50,000, the Annual Fee is $455,500.
iii. For each fiscal year thereafter, the per capita rate for the Annual Fee shall be calculated using the following formula: (A) The County’s budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the DocuSign Envelope ID: 6044E4CA-6050-4094-98C0-7354E6BF22E8 DocuSign Envelope ID: FCCC236F-272E-4A5F-AF5C-2A9B21CFF407 262
7 County in that fiscal year, minus the sum of animal licensing fees and user fees projected to be received from all County residents in that fiscal year, minus the budgeted County general fund contribution for that fiscal year, divided by (B) the sum of the population of the unincorporated area plus the population of all cities for which the County provides Animal Services. For example, if the budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County is $12,640,000, the animal licensing and user fees projected to be received are $1,620,00, the budgeted general fund contribution is $4,112,000, and the population is 866,583, then the per capita Annual Fee would be $7.97
[($12,640,000 - $1,620,000 - $4,112,000) / 866,583]. For a City with a population of 100,000, the total Annual Fee would be $797,000.
b. The City shall pay the Annual Fee to the County in four equal quarterly installments. Each installment shall be due on the first day of each fiscal quarter (i.e., July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1). The City shall make the payment to the County Treasurer-Tax Collector, 625 Court Street, Martinez, CA 94553.
c. The City shall pay the Annual Fee to the County regardless of the amount of any fees and fines collected by the County pursuant to Division 416.
d. Each year, the County will prepare a reconciliation report of actual costs incurred by the County to provide Animal Services during the immediately preceding year to ensure the Annual Fee paid by the City covers only actual costs incurred to provide Animal Services. The reconciliation report will be completed and sent to the City in the month of August for each fiscal year. Any cost savings for that fiscal year will be applied to the following fiscal year.
e. For purposes of calculating the Annual Fee, the County shall rely on the population figures reported by the California State Department of Finance E1 Population Estimates report as of January of each year. f. The County shall notify the City of the amount of the Annual Fee for the next fiscal year by March 1st of each year.

14. Term; Termination.
a. The term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for two (2) years. This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive three-year periods until either party terminates this Agreement by giving the other party 90 days advance written notice of termination.

Dear Ms. Curl,
Per section 13.a.iii. in the City-County Services Agreement (attached), the city fees are the total County fiscal year (FY) cost to provide Animal Services, minus animal licensing and user fees, and minus the County General Fund contribution. The information below details the values for FY 2026/27:

Total County Animal Service Cost $19,467,987
Total Licensing and User Fee Revenue $1,663,000
Total General Fund Contribution $6,165,512
Total City Contract Fees $11,639,475
The total per capita cost for each city for FY 2026/27 is $13.45. Based on your city’s population according to the California Department of Finance Demographic E1 report, as released May 2025, the City contract cost for animal services in FY 2026/27 is $1,527,595.

The Animal Services Department anticipates modest overall cost increases in FY 2026/27. These changes are primarily driven by salaries and benefits, services and supplies, and fleet maintenance, partially offset by a decrease in risk-related costs. Despite these adjustments, the Department remains committed to fiscal responsibility and will continue implementing cost-containment strategies, including vendor contract optimization, strategic supply purchasing, and ongoing efforts to reduce the average length of stay for animals.

At the close of each fiscal year, the Department conducts a reconciliation of actual expenditures against contract allocations to determine whether cost savings have been realized. Any savings identified for the current contract period will be applied to the subsequent fiscal year. Should savings be confirmed through the reconciliation process in August 2026, they will be reflected as a credit in the FY 2026/27 second-quarter invoice issued in October 2026.

We look forward to working with you to ensure that our department is adequately serving the needs of your city. I can be reached at (925) 608-8470 should you have any questions or wish to speak with me about this information.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

Sincerely,
Ben Winkleblack, Director

1 CITY-COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
The County of Contra Costa, a political subdivision of the State of California ("County"), and the City of Richmond, a municipal corporation in the County ("City"), enter into this City-County Animal Services Agreement (“Agreement”) effective as of July 1, 2022 (“Effective Date”).

1. Authority. The City has adopted by reference Division 416 of the Contra Costa County Ordinance Code (hereafter "Division 416") governing animals.

Division 416 establishes requirements and procedures for animal control by the County’s Animal Services Department. This Agreement is entered into to memorialize the County’s provision of Animal Services and enforcement of Division 416 within the City as provided in Section 416-4.208, and as authorized by California Government Code section 51301.

2. Enforcement Duties and Personnel. The County will enforce Division 416 within the City’s boundaries. The City hereby designates and appoints the County's Animal Services Director and his or her staff as public officers of the City for the purposes of this Agreement and enforcing and carrying out its provisions.

6 10. Policies and Procedures. All policies and procedures shall be developed with the goal of ensuring animal welfare, enhancing cost efficiency and quality of services provided to the contracted cities and unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County.

12. Fees and Fines. Pursuant to Food and Agricultural Code Section 30652, all fees and fines collected by the County for providing Animal Services to the City shall be deposited into the County Treasury and shall be used to meet the County’s cost of providing Animal Services to the City.

13. Annual Fee.
a. In consideration for Services provided by the County to the City, and in addition to any fees and fines imposed on City residents, the City agrees to pay to the County the following amounts (“Annual Fee”):
i. For fiscal year 2022-2023, $7.97 for each person residing within the City limits as of January 2022. For example, if the City’s population is 50,000, the Annual Fee is $398,500.
ii. For fiscal year 2023-2024, $9.11 for each person residing within the City limits as of January 2023. For example, if the City’s population is 50,000, the Annual Fee is $455,500.
iii. For each fiscal year thereafter, the per capita rate for the Annual Fee shall be calculated using the following formula: (A) The County’s budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the DocuSign Envelope ID: 6044E4CA-6050-4094-98C0-7354E6BF22E8 273
7 County in that fiscal year, minus the sum of animal licensing fees and user fees projected to be received from all County residents in that fiscal year, minus the budgeted County general fund contribution for that fiscal year, divided by (B) the sum of the population of the unincorporated area plus the population of all cities for which the County provides Animal Services. For example, if the budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County is $12,640,000, the animal licensing and user fees projected to be received are $1,620,00, the budgeted general fund contribution is $4,112,000, and the population is 866,583, then the per capita Annual Fee would be $7.97
[($12,640,000 - $1,620,000 - $4,112,000) / 866,583]. For a City with a population of 100,000, the total Annual Fee would be $797,000.
b. The City shall pay the Annual Fee to the County in four equal quarterly installments. Each installment shall be due on the first day of each fiscal quarter (i.e., July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1). The City shall make the payment to the County Treasurer-Tax Collector, 625 Court Street, Martinez, CA 94553.
c. The City shall pay the Annual Fee to the County regardless of the amount of any fees and fines collected by the County pursuant to Division 416.
d. Each year, the County will prepare a reconciliation report of actual costs incurred by the County to provide Animal Services during the immediately preceding year to ensure the Annual Fee paid by the City covers only actual costs incurred to provide Animal Services. The reconciliation report will be completed and sent to the City in the month of August for each fiscal year. Any cost savings for that fiscal year will be applied to the following fiscal year.
e. For purposes of calculating the Annual Fee, the County shall rely on the population figures reported by the California State Department of Finance E1 Population Estimates report as of January of each year. f. The County shall notify the City of the amount of the Annual Fee for the next fiscal year by March 1st of each year.

14. Term; Termination.
a. The term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for two (2) years. This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive three-year periods until either party terminates this Agreement by giving the other party 90 days advance written notice of termination.
b. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if the County repeals Division 416 or if the City repeals its resolution incorporating and applying Division 416 within the City.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6044E4CA-6050-4094-98C0-7354E6BF22E8 274
8 c. The County may terminate this Agreement if the City fails to pay the Annual Fee by its due date by giving the City 30-days advance written notice.
d. The County agrees to meet jointly with all contracting city agencies annually during Quarter 2 of each fiscal year (i.e., October) to discuss potential revisions or updates through the Public Managers Association.

15. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes any prior agreement between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and approved by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.

16. Governing law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be brought in Contra Costa County Superior Court.

Re: Service Agreement Amendment (i.e., Section 13.a.iii. CORRECTION) Dear City Manager Ms. Sasha Curl,
I wanted to reach out to you today to bring forward a correction in Section 13. a. iii of the City – County Animal Services Agreement (“Agreement”) that pertains to the calculation of the Annual Fee. Unfortunately, your city council members approved the agreement without the revised language for section 13.a.iii.

The Agreement states that the population used to calculate the per-capita rate would include both the cities for which the County provides animal services and the unincorporated population. That needs to be corrected because it should only reflect the incorporated populations of the cities and towns we contract with, not the unincorporated areas. To correct this, section 13.a.iii of the Agreement must be amended to remove the clause “…of the unincorporated area plus the…,” as indicated below:

13. Annual Fee a. In consideration for Services provided by the County to the City, and in addition to any fees and fines imposed on City residents, the City agrees to pay to the county the following amounts (“Annual Fee”):
… iii. For each fiscal year thereafter, the per capita rate for the Annual Fee shall be calculated using the following formula: (A) the County’s budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County in that fiscal year, minus the sum of animal licensing fees and user fees projected to be received from all County residents in that fiscal year, minus the budgeted County general fund contribution for that fiscal year, divided by (B) the sum of the population of the unincorporated area plus the population of all cities for which the County provides Animal Services. For example, if the budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County is $12,640,000, the animal licensing and user fees projected to be received are $1,620,000, the budgeted general fund contribution is $4,112,000, and the population is 866,583, then the per capita Annual Fee would be $7.97 per capita [($12,640,000 - $1,620,000 - $4,112,000) / 866,583]. For a City with a population of 100,000, the total Annual Fee would be $797,000.

While the example below the deleted excerpt in the Agreement reflects the correct formula, the narrative does not accurately capture the fee structure as devised in the County’s strategic planning process and what had been previously communicated during meetings between City officials and Animal Services. I have attached an amendment that corrects this error—i.e., removes the erroneous highlighted section to match the formula and what was agreed upon between the City and County. The City of Richmond will thus need to process this amendment with their City Council to correct this section in the City-County Animal Services Agreement.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Beth Ward

AMENDMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA AND THE CITY OF

RICHMOND, CA ANIMAL SEVICES AGREEMENT
County of Contra Costa (“County”), a political subdivision of the State of California, and the City of Richmond (“City”), a municipal corporation of the State of California and in the County, hereby execute this administrative amendment to the City-County Animal Services Agreement, effective July 1, 2022 (“Agreement”), to correct an error in the Agreement and to accurately reflect the original intent and agreed upon terms between the City and County. NOW THEREFORE, County and City hereby amend the Agreement, as follows:

1. Correct Section 13.a.iii. of the Agreement. To accurately reflect the original intent and agreed upon terms between the City and County, Section 13.a.iii. of the Agreement is hereby amended to remove the erroneous clause “…of the unincorporated area plus the…” Section 13.a.iii. is therefore deleted in its entirety and replaced with the below Section 13.a.iii., as set forth below:

13. …
a. …
iii. For each fiscal year thereafter, the per capita rate for the Annual Fee shall be calculated using the following formula: (A) The County’s budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County in that fiscal year, minus the sum of animal licensing fees and user fees projected to be received from all County residents in that fiscal year, minus the budgeted County general fund contribution for that fiscal year, divided by (B) the sum of the population of all cities for which the County provides Animal Services. For example, if the budgeted cost to provide Animal Services throughout the County is $12,640,000, the animal licensing and user fees projected to be received are $1,620,000, the budgeted general fund contribution is $4,112,000, and the population is 866,583, then the per capita Annual Fee would be $7.97 per capita [($12,640,000 - $1,620,000 - $4,112,000) / 866,583]. For a City with a population of 100,000, the total Annual Fee would be $797,000.

2. Aside from the amended Section 13.a.iii of the Agreement, set forth above, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in effect as provided therein. Furthermore, nothing in this amendment to the Agreement shall be construed to affect the interpretation of any other section(s) of the Agreement, except for those explicitly referenced above.

DATE: May 5, 2026
TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Tim Simmons, Chief of Police
Subject: Contract with T Jung Investigations and Steve Blanc Investigations for Pre-Employment Background
Investigators
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed total three-year not-to-exceed cost of $90,000 for each of the two contracts (a combined not-toexceed total of $180,000) is included within the approved fiscal year 2025-2026 Police Department budget and will be budgeted accordingly in subsequent fiscal years
(Account String: 01191021-400201).

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

None.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The Police Department is requesting City Council to
contract with T Jung Investigations and Steve Blanc
Investigations to conduct pre-employment background
investigations for sworn and non-sworn Police
Department applicants over a three-year term.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE contracts with T Jung Investigations and, separately, Steve Blanc Investigations, to provide
background investigations for Police Department
applicants on an as-needed basis, in an amount not to
exceed $90,000 per vendor over a three-year contract

May 5, 2026
DISCUSSION:

Background investigations are required by the State of California Commission on Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) for all sworn police personnel and communications dispatchers, including police cadets, police rangers, records specialists, and jailers. Additionally, due to the close working relationship with sworn and non-sworn employees, the City of Richmond requires non-sworn staff applicants to also pass the pre-employment background investigation before working at the Police Department. The background investigation assures compliance with all applicable minimum standards for appointment, and screens out applicants who, based on their history or other relevant information, are found unsuitable for the position.

In the past, the Richmond Police Department has conducted its own background investigations; however, in-house background investigations are not only costly (due to union-required overtime pay), but continuing to do so will also keep the already shortstaffed sworn officers in the office.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was posted on BidsOnline for three weeks in October 2025, during which 951 vendors were automatically notified (Attachments 1 and 2). Five responsive proposals were received.

Project Proposal
Prepared For: Richmond Police Department
Prepared By: Tim Jung
California Licensed Private Investigator #189175
Proposal Date: November 3, 2025
Background
I have been a law enforcement officer since 1991. I began my career with the Pleasant Hill Police Department initially as a Level 1 Reserve Officer then transitioned to a fulltime sworn officer where I worked in a patrol capacity then as an undercover narcotics detective assigned to a State of California Department of Justice (CALDOJ) narcotics taskforce.

After 12 years with the police department, I lateraled to the California Department of Justice working as a Special Agent assigned to the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement (BNE). While at BNE, I worked as a case agent on major narcotics, gangs and violence cases. These investigations often utilized State of California authorized wiretaps. Additionally, during this time I supervised a cellular phone tracking team where the focus of this team was to track and locate homicide suspects, kidnapping victims, missing persons, etc. For my work in this area, I was awarded the ATTACHMENT 4
321
Peace Officer Award by the State of California. My final assignment while working for CALDOJ was the Taskforce Commander for the West Contra Costa Narcotic Enforcement Team (WestNET).

In 2012, I began working for the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office as Senior Inspector.

Since 2014, I have been assigned to the Contra Costa County FBI Safe Streets Taskforce (now the Contra Costa County Major Crimes Taskforce) where the focus is combatting gang violence, human trafficking and assisting in homicide investigations, mostly through the utilization of court ordered wiretaps. I am currently in charge of the wiretap program for the Task Force.

I completed the POST mandated Background Investigator’s Course in 2020 while working for the Contra Costa DA’s Office and I currently conduct pre-employment background investigations for this agency. Additionally, I have been doing pre-employment background investigations for ten (10) law enforcement agencies (including Richmond PD) within Contra Costa County since 2022.

Synopsis
T Jung Investigations will assist law enforcement in identifying and hiring the most qualified personnel for your organization. My reports will be thorough and completed in a timely manner.

By utilizing my services, you will free up personnel from conducting pre-employment background investigations and allow them to address other needs of the agency. You will find my services are cost effective and reasonably priced.
322
My objective is to find the most qualified personnel for the Richmond Police Department by conducting a complete and thorough background investigation. As I have been in the law enforcement field for over 34 years, I know what desirable characteristics law enforcement agencies are looking for in a public safety employee.

Proposed Services
The background investigation will include but is not limited to the following items:

1. An in-depth review of the Personal History Statement and any supplemental questionnaires.

2. An in-depth interview of the candidate.

3. Civil records search.

4. Contact and interviews with neighbors, relatives, and references.

5. Local law enforcement criminal history inquiry.

6. Review of available personnel files and other relevant documentation.

7. Contact with current and past co-workers and employers.

8. Verification of citizenship, education, financial history, DMV history, military history and other applicable legal documents to include marital and divorce proceedings.

9. Status review of applications with other agencies the candidate has applied with.

10. The Richmond Police Department will be provided with an in-depth investigative report that outlines the candidates’ qualifications and attributes relative to all POST background guidelines.

Pricing
Upon the Richmond Police Department establishing the candidate’s suitability by way of preemployment interviews and testing, T Jung Investigations will complete the background investigation. All background investigations shall meet or exceed the standards as set by California POST.
323
The cost of services are as follows:

A. $2100.00 for all sworn positions
B. $1900.00 for non-sworn positions
C. T Jung Investigations will charge the current IRS standard mileage rate per mile for necessary travel to conduct the investigation.

D. If at some point during the background investigation it is determined the candidate is not qualified to continue in the background investigation process, T Jung Investigations will discontinue the investigation and notify the Richmond Police Department of the findings.

The Richmond Police Department will be provided with a memorandum which will summarize the disqualifying findings. All background material will be returned to the Richmond Police Department.

A pro-rated fee which represents the amount of time spent on the investigation will be charged. T Jung Investigations and the Richmond Police Department will agree upon this pro-rated fee.

E. The cost of travel, lodging and per diem of any significant distance needed to conduct the background investigation would be the responsibility of the Richmond Police Department.

F. Travel will not conducted without prior approval from the Richmond Police Department.

Upon completion of the background investigation, T Jung Investigations will return all background materials to the Richmond Police Department. All background materials will become the property of the Richmond Police Department.

The investigation and report are confidential and will be the property of the Richmond Police Department.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
