SUBJECT: SANTA CLARA COUNTY AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT SYSTEM TENTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT

During the 1987/1988 budget process, Council approved entering into an agreement with other cities in Santa Clara County in order to implement a local automated fingerprint identification system which would provide local law enforcement agencies with direct access to the California Identification System (Cal-ID) an automated system maintained by the California State Department of Justice for retaining fingerprint files and identifying latent fingerprints.

Attached to this report is the original resolution (#142-88) approved by Council wherein Council approved the appropriation of start-up funds and the annual cost for that year (Attachment A).

Also attached is a new agreement for FY 98/99 which renews the original agreement and concepts, but amends the actual cost to the City of Sunnyvale from $83,673 to $87,367 (Attachment B).

Staff recommends that Council approve this resolution, enter into the attached amended agreement and authorize the City Manager to sign as the City's representative.

On January 1, 1986, Senate Bill 190 was passed and provided for implementation of automated systems and provided local agencies with direct access to the state's fingerprint files. This bill appropriated $7,000,000 to the Department of Justice for the purchase of equipment and services to create the state-wide system. Also provided were procedures for local governments to receive equipment based on a sharing of costs with the State: the State paying 70% of the cost of the purchase of the equipment and all other costs for implementing local systems became the responsibility of local government.

Based on the criteria set forth in SB 190, a local policy board was convened and ultimately developed and gained compliance from all of the cities in Santa Clara County for participation in the joint county automated system.

The original Report to Council in 1987 estimated the City of Sunnyvale's annual cost at $66,308. The cost for FY 98/99 will be $87,367, up from $83,673 in FY 97/98. Sunnyvale's percentage of contribution, based on population, is 16.5812%. A breakdown of the cost increases for CAL-ID to County agencies are as follows:

CAL-ID operating costs have been budgeted in Program 412 for FY 98/99.
