Three Council Members participate in the Subcommittee and are supported by City staff. This year, the subcommittee included: Mayor Eduardo Montesino, Council Member Jimmy Dutra, and Council Member Casey Clark.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\1894762272\1894762272,,,Social and Community Service Grants FY 2023-2025.docx The City of Watsonville is proud to work and collaborate with community base organizations in meeting the service and program needs of Watsonville residents. The Annual Social Service Grants Program is just one of the ways in which the City funds core services for the community.
On any given year, the City of Watsonville contracts with various community based organizations to provide critical services throughout the City. These contracts for services represent a total over $1.5 million in annual funding to community-based programs.
Application Review Process:
On April 11, 2023, the subcommittee took a motion to Council to approve the recommended funding levels and application process for FY 2023/2025. For this funding cycle, the subcommittee recommended funding organizations at a minimum of $10,000 and a maximum of $20,000.
The criteria recommended and approved by the Council to rank the applications included:
Do the program/services align with the City Council’s Strategic Plan priorities? Does the program/service meet a current community need? Is the organization in good standing with the City and State? (if previously funded) Organization serves the Watsonville community
Financial need as demonstrated by the organization’s overall funding request & annual budget
Completeness of the application
Impact on Watsonville residents
The subcommittee’s recommended an application process that was simple and equitable for all agencies small, medium, or large to successfully request funding through this program.
On May 11, 2023, the subcommittee reviewed and ranked all funding requests received. As a result, the subcommittee is recommending funding 23 organizations that directly serve the Watsonville community, help meet current community needs and directly support the established strategic priorities of the Council. Funding recommendation list is attached.
The subcommittee is also recommending a couple of exceptions to the adopted funding limits in order to provide funding opportunities for new emerging groups that support our residents through new programs. A $5,000 funding limit is being recommended for the Watsonville Band per their request, and two agencies (Youth Recovery Connections and Watsonville Jr. Wildcatz) to allow these organizations to build capacity in serving the Watsonville community as a firsttime grantees. Funding recommendations also include an increased funding capacity to support community special events which helps various non-profit agencies cover the fees and costs associated with hosting special events that benefit the community at large. Two funding cycles will be made available in the year and funding support to community events will increase from $5,000 tup to $10,000 per event.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT:
If an official who is a member of the City Council has a disqualifying interest in a matter before the council, he/she shall disclose the conflict to the council prior to consideration of the matter.
Once the disclosure is made the official shall not formally participate in the official discussion

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\1735025557\1735025557,,,Report - Automated License Plate Reader .docx Agenda Report
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, May 23, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: POLICE CHIEF ZAMORA
POLICE CAPTAIN THUL
THROUGH: CITY MANAGER MENDEZ
SUBJECT: LEASE OF AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER (ALPR) CAMERAS FROM FLOCK GROUP, INC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a Resolution authorizing the execution of a 24-month Master Services Agreement for the lease of twenty (20) Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Cameras from Flock Group, Inc. (Flock) with an amount not to exceed $140,000.
BACKGROUND:
Cameras and Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology have been used by police agencies to help solve crimes, especially those where an automobile has been used. ALPR technology has continued to evolve and has become less cost prohibitive.
Traditional ALPR systems included expensive fixed camera locations or mobile devices mounted in patrol cars.
Currently, still images and video from public and private security systems are critical tools in investigating and gathering information about crime incidents. Our police officers often make multiple visits to businesses and residences after an incident, particularly a violent crime, in search of camera images or video that will help identify suspect vehicles, suspects, and other elements of the crime.
DISCUSSION:
The Flock Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) System is a deployment of cameras throughout an area to provide greater coverage and more detailed information for law enforcement. The Flock Agreement includes 20 cameras which can be spread throughout the city. Flock cameras capture date, time, location, license plates, vehicle details, as well as other objects.
There are key differences between Flock and other ALPR companies. Most notably, they are the only company that leases ALPR services and all system maintenance is covered
5/18/2023 5:03:53 PM
C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\1735025557\1735025557,,,Report - Automated License Plate Reader .docx by Flock. Another difference is that these cameras capture motion of objects instead of just license plate information.
Additional benefits of Flock include a two-year warranty, an annual flat rate lease per camera of $3,000, wireless capability, and the option for solar or direct power. This system is Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant, cloud-based hosting, unlimited user licenses, ongoing software enhancements, camera setup, mounting, shipping, handling, and a cellular connection. Lastly, this lease program prevents the City from being burdened with maintaining costly equipment at the end of the agreement, which could require replacement and additional costs.
Since Flock is the sole manufacturer and developer of the Flock Safety Camera, and they are the only vendor who leases ALPR cameras, there are no local vendors available to provide this service.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
There are privacy concerns regarding the use of data collected by ALPR systems. These concerns were evaluated in a 2020 audit of four California law enforcement agencies; Fresno Police Department, Los Angeles Police Department, Marin County Sheriff’s Office, and Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office. The audit was conducted by the California State Auditor. The audit found that having clear guidelines on how ALPR data is used, it will better protect the privacy of residents.
With this said, the Watsonville Police Department created Policy Section 471 on Automated License Plate Readers. This policy includes a requirement to conduct an annual audit, lists restrictions on the release of the data, and requires training for officers in the use of the ALPR system. Section 471.8(c) states that “The Watsonville Police Department does not permit the sharing of ALPR data gathered by the City or its contractors/subcontractors for purpose of federal immigration enforcement, pursuant to the California Values Act (Government Code §7282.5; Government Code §7284.2 et seq.)—these federal immigration agencies include Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CPB).” 1 STRATEGIC PLAN:
The recommended action supports the Council’s objective of 6-Public Safety.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If approved, the twenty (20) Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Cameras will be leased in an amount not to exceed $140,000. Measure Y funds have been set aside to support this project.
1 The California Values Act (SB 54, effective January 1, 2018) ensures that no state and local resources are used to assist federal immigration enforcement; the Act prohibits local law enforcement agencies from using money or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes and proscribes other activities or conduct in connection with immigration enforcement by local law enforcement agencies.

C:\Program Files\eSCRIBE\TEMP\1735025557\1735025557,,,Report - Automated License Plate Reader .docx ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may choose to not approve the agreement. However, the Watsonville Police Department will not have its own camera technology to assist with solving crimes throughout the city.

471.4 ADMINISTRATION
The ALPR technology, also known as License Plate Recognition (LPR), allows for the automated detection of license plates. It is used by the Watsonville Police Department to convert data associated with vehicle license plates for official law enforcement purposes, including identifying stolen or wanted vehicles, stolen license plates and missing persons. It may also be used to gather information related to active warrants, homeland security, electronic surveillance, suspect interdiction and stolen property recovery.
All installation and maintenance of ALPR equipment, as well as ALPR data retention and access, shall be managed by the Professional Standards Division Captain. The Professional Standards Division Captain will assign Department members to administer the day-to-day operation of the ALPR equipment and data.
All data collected by ALPR technology is downloaded to a CJIS compliant cloud-based server housed and maintained by Flock Safety.
471.4.1 ALPR ADMINISTRATOR
The Professional Standards Division Captain shall be responsible for developing guidelines and procedures to comply with the requirements of Civil Code § 1798.90.5 et seq. This includes, but is not limited to (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53):

Published with permission by Watsonville Police Department ***DRAFT*** Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) - 3 471.5 OPERATIONS
Use of an ALPR is restricted to the purposes outlined below. Department members shall not use, or allow others to use the equipment or database records for any unauthorized purpose (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53).
(a) An ALPR shall only be used for official law enforcement business. (b) An ALPR may be used in conjunction with any routine patrol operation or criminal investigation. Reasonable suspicion or probable cause is not required before using an ALPR.
(c) While an ALPR may be used to canvass license plates around any crime scene, particular consideration should be given to using ALPR-equipped cars to canvass areas around homicides, shootings and other major incidents. Partial license plates reported during major crimes should be entered into the ALPR system in an attempt to identify suspect vehicles.
(d) No member of this department shall operate ALPR equipment or access ALPR data without first completing department-approved training.
(e) If practicable, the officer should verify an ALPR response through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) before taking enforcement action that is based solely on an ALPR alert. Once an alert is received, the operator should confirm that the observed license plate from the system matches the license plate of the observed vehicle. Before any law enforcement action is taken because of an ALPR alert, the alert will be verified through a CLETS inquiry via MDC or through Dispatch. Members will not take any police action that restricts the freedom of any individual based solely on an ALPR alert unless it has been validated. Because the ALPR alert may relate to a vehicle and may not relate to the person operating the vehicle, officers are reminded that they need to have reasonable suspicion and/or probable cause to make an enforcement stop of any vehicle. (For example, if a vehicle is entered into the system because of its association with a wanted individual, Officers should attempt to visually match the driver to the description of the wanted subject prior to making the stop or should have another legal basis for making the stop.) (f) Hot Lists. Designation of hot lists to be utilized by the ALPR system shall be made by the ALPR Administrator or his/her designee. Hot lists shall be obtained or compiled from sources as may be consistent with the purposes of the ALPR system set forth in this Policy. Hot lists utilized by the Department's LPR system may be updated by agency sources more frequently than the Department may be uploading them and thus the Department's LPR system will not have access to real time data. Occasionally, there may be errors in the LPR system's read of a license plate. Therefore, an alert alone shall not be a basis for police action (other than following the vehicle of interest). Prior to initiation of a stop of a vehicle or other intervention based on an alert, Department members shall undertake the following:
1. Verification of status on a Hot List. An officer must receive confirmation, from a Netcom Communications Dispatcher or other department computer device, that the license plate is still stolen, wanted, or otherwise of interest before proceeding (absent exigent circumstances).

Published with permission by Watsonville Police Department ***DRAFT*** Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) - 4
2. Visual verification of license plate number. Officers shall visually verify that the license plate of interest matches identically with the image of the license plate number captured (read) by the LPR, including both the alphanumeric characters of the license plate, state of issue, and vehicle descriptors before proceeding. Department members alerted to the fact that an observed motor vehicle's license plate is entered as a Hot Plate (hit) in a specific BOLO (be on the lookout) list are required to make a reasonable effort to confirm that a wanted person is actually in the vehicle and/or that a reasonable basis exists before a Department member would have a lawful basis to stop the vehicle.
3. Department members will clear all stops from hot list alerts by indicating the positive ALPR Hit, i.e., with an arrest or other enforcement action. If it is not obvious in the text of the call as to the correlation of the ALPR Hit and the arrest, then the Department member shall update with the Communications Dispatcher and original person and/or a crime analyst inputting the vehicle in the hot list (hit).
4. General Hot Lists (SVS, SFR, and SLR) will be automatically downloaded into the ALPR system a minimum of once a day with the most current data overwriting the old data.
5. All entries and updates of specific Hot Lists within the ALPR system will be documented by the requesting Department member within the appropriate general offense report. As such, specific Hot Lists shall be approved by the ALPR Administrator (or his/her designee) before initial entry within the ALPR system. The updating of such a list within the ALPR system shall thereafter be accomplished pursuant to the approval of the Department member's immediate supervisor. The hits from these data sources should be viewed as informational; created solely to bring the officers attention to specific vehicles that have been associated with criminal activity.
(a) All Hot Plates and suspect information entered into the ALPR system will contain the following information as a minimum:
1. Entering Department member's name
2. Related case number
3. Short synopsis describing the nature of the originating call (g) Training. No member of this Department shall operate ALPR equipment or access ALPR data without first completing Department-approved training. (h) Login/Log-Out Procedure. To ensure proper operation and facilitate oversight of the ALPR system, all users will be required to have individual credentials for access and use of the systems and/or data, which has the ability to be fully audited.
Permitted/Impermissible Uses. The ALPR system, and all data collected, is the property of the Watsonville Police Department. Department personnel may only access and use the ALPR system for official and legitimate law enforcement purposes consistent with this Policy. The following uses of the ALPR system are specifically prohibited:

(a) criminal prosecution, civil liability, and/or administrative sanctions, up to and including termination, pursuant to and consistent with the relevant collective bargaining agreements and Department policies.
(b) First Amendment Rights: It is a violation of this policy to use the LPR system or associated scan files or hot lists for the purpose or known effect of infringing upon First Amendment rights.
(c) Personal Use: It is a violation of this Policy to use the ALPR system or associated scan files or hot lists for any personal purpose.
(d) Use Based on a Protected Characteristic: It is a violation of this policy to use the LPR system or associated scan files or hot lists solely because of a person's, or group's race, gender, religion, political affiliation, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or other classification protected by law.
(e) Harassment or Intimidation: It is a violation of this Policy to use the ALPR system to harass and/or intimidate any individual or group.
(f) Invasion of Privacy: Except when done pursuant to a court order such as a search warrant, is a violation of this Policy to utilize the ALPR to record license plates except those of vehicles that are exposed to public view (e.g., vehicles on a public road or street, or that are on private property but whose license plate(s) are visible from a public road, street, or a place to which members of the public have access, such as the parking lot of a shop or other business establishment). 471.6 DATA COLLECTION AND RETENTION
The Professional Standards Division Captain is responsible for ensuring systems and processes are in place for the proper collection and retention of ALPR data. Data will be transferred from vehicles to the designated storage in accordance with department procedures.
All ALPR data downloaded to the server should be stored for a minimum of one year (Government Code § 34090.6) and in accordance with the established records retention schedule. Thereafter, ALPR data should be purged unless it has become, or it is reasonable to believe it will become, evidence in a criminal or civil action or is subject to a discovery request or other lawful action to produce records. In those circumstances the applicable data should be downloaded from the server onto portable media and booked into evidence.
ALPR vendor, Flock Safety, will store the data (data hosting) and ensure proper maintenance and security of data stored in their data towers. Flock Safety will purge their data at the end of the 30 days of storage. However, this will not preclude the Watsonville Police Department from maintaining any relevant vehicle data obtained from the system after that period pursuant to the established City of Watsonville retention schedule mentioned above or outlined elsewhere.

authority, for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoice to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Flock a legally sufficient tax exemption certificate and Flock shall not charge customer any taxes from which it is exempt. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer shall notify Flock and shall pay Flock any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Flock receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Flock would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.
