DATE: January 12, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Joe Stilinovich, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: ILJAOC JPA AMENDMENTS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6530, approving an amendment to
the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) agreement for the Integrated Law and Justice
Agency for Orange County (ILJAOC) to add California State University Fullerton
Police Department as a new member and make certain amendments to the JPA
agreement to improve ILJAOC governance.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City has been a member of the Integrated Law & Justice Agency for Orange
County (ILJAOC), a Joint Powers Authority, since June 2006. The JPA currently
has 24 Members, representing each City that has a Municipal Police Department
as well as the County of Orange for their identified Departments. Member
Agencies also include the Superior Court of Orange County and the University of
California at Irvine. The JPA was formed to allow Criminal Justice Agencies in
Orange County to jointly address new technology projects on a regional basis, as
well as improve business processes affecting the efficiency of the Criminal
Justice System in Orange County. It has the authority to move the represented
agencies forward collectively on issues that would be virtually impractical to
accomplish on an agency by agency basis.
The JPA is directed by a 16 Member Governing Board comprised of 6 Police
Chiefs selected by the Orange County Chief's and Sheriff's Association (with a
7th serving as an alternate for any of the 6 who are unable to attend a regular
meeting); 3 City Managers (one representing the Contract Cities), who are
selected by the Orange County City Managers Association; the Presiding Judge
and the Chief Executive Officer of the Superior Court; the Orange County Sheriff,
the District Attorney, the Chief Probation Officer, the Public Defender; and a
representative from the County Executive's Office. The only employees of the
Agency are a part-time Executive Director and a part-time Recording Secretary.
Agenda Item L
Some of the accomplishments of the JPA include.
• Establishment of one of the most robust Regional criminal data-sharing
systems in the state, if not the country, incorporating data from every
municipal and county law enforcement agencies and court system in
Orange County, as well as other contributors from the 5 western states.
• Creation of a single electronic scheduling platform that serves all
municipal and county law enforcement agencies, with an interface to the
District Attorney's Office and the Court, to perform informed scheduling of
court cases, taking into consideration the availability of officers and
deputies.
• Conversion of the DA's Office Subpoenas and Court Notices to Appear to
an electronic notification system via e-mail sent directly to law
enforcement witnesses and the capability to post those notices posted on
the electronic scheduling platform.
• Replacement of the majority of paper Probable Cause Declarations
required to be completed by arresting officers/deputies for any felony
arrest and some misdemeanors, establishing good cause to hold a
suspect in custody for further court proceedings. The process is now
electronic, which is handled by the on-call Judge as a collateral duty,
resulting in the reduction of a number of part-time Judicial Hearing
Officers, and the elimination of the physical task of literally walking paper
to and from the Court from the Jail, multiple times daily.
• The successful completion of an Electronic Citation Pilot Project, with
three municipal police departments filing their citations to be directly into
the Court's Production System, without the task of manual data entry.
• Creation of an Electronic Citation Project, currently used by fifteen
agencies in the County (with the potential for several more), based upon
the Court's mandate that all agencies must submit citation data
electronically as of July 1st. Cities that do not comply face potential
delays (and loss of fine & forfeiture revenue) in Court processing of
manually submitted citations of nine months or more (with a statute that
only limits their validity up to one year if not filed). The Court spends
$600,000 to $700,000 per year on transcription services from an outside
contractor and must eliminate much of that cost due to State Budget
reductions.
Recently, the ILJAOC was asked by the California State University at Fullerton
(CSUF), to consider their request for full Membership in the ILJAOC on behalf of
their Police Department. The current JPA agreement requires the concurrence
of all the legislative bodies of the existing 24 Member Agencies to add any new
members.
Page 2
The request from CSUF presents an opportunity to also review the JPA
agreement and propose reasonable modifications that will assist in the overall
management of the ILJAOC.
The 16-Member ILJAOC Governing Board unanimously voted to direct its staff to
bring back a complete review of the JPA language, with appropriate
recommendations to improve the language where necessary, which will also
improve the Board's ability to govern the Agency's work. The task was
completed with the Agency's Legal Counsel and returned to the Board on April
28, 2014. It was unanimously approved, and staff was directed to seek the
formal approval from the existing Agencies to include CSUF as a Member
Agency, while at the same time approving the amended language in the revised
JPA document.
Attached is a "Track Changes" version of the JPA agreement, showing the
proposed changes recommended by the JPA Governing Board after it underwent
a comprehensive review. (A "clean" version is also included.) In summary, the
recommended changes fall into the following categories:
A. In order to streamline the process for approving any new agencies in the
future, the amended agreement would allow the Governing Board, on a
unanimous approval of all the Member Agencies' Voting Members, to
approve the addition of a new Member Agency as long as there are no
projected cost increases contemplated by the vote for existing Member
Agencies. If so, the action would require legislative approval by the
existing Member Agencies, like required by the current process. (See
Sections 2:02 f, 3.01 and 6.01.)
B. Throughout the document, there are various, minor language clean-up
recommendations included, to improve the readability of the Document.
C. A slight adjustment has been made in Member Agency rates (-.25% for
UCI and CSUF participation, which are not subject to the normal per
capita served population formula applicable to most of the Municipal
Police Departments, for obvious reasons). The recommendation is made
to more closely align those Agencies with rates paid by other similar sized
Departments in Orange County. (See Section 4.06 d & e).
D. A minor adjustment is included in the Treasurer's reporting requirements
on ILJAOC's Budget/Finances from Monthly to Quarterly, to reflect the low
month to month financial activity of the Agency. (See Section 4.09.)
E. Adjustments were made to Indemnification Language, primarily focused
on issues surrounding entering into Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA's)
to share criminal information. The changes would give more authority to
the Governing Board to enter into Agreements (on a two-thirds affirmative
vote of the majority of all Voting Members or their Alternates), with the
approval of the Agency's Legal Counsel, and;
Page 3
i. A finding that the risk of entering into such an agreement is
outweighed by the benefit to be obtained by doing so, and;
ii. A determination by the ILJAOC's Risk Manager that insurance
provisions applicable to the agreement are adequate, given the
specific risks presented. (See Section 5.04.)
Over the course of the years, the ILJAOC has been building an
Information-sharing System, but has been unable to exchange information
with certain entities that have inadequate Governance in place to allow
them to bind their contributors to the terms and conditions outlined in one
of the ILJAOC's standard agreements. In addition, one nearby State has
a statute that caps its liability exposure for injuries/damages, something
that is unfortunately not the case in California. In spite of the
aforementioned limitations, the Governing Board believes that in balance,
it may make sense to have the capacity to find a way to move forward on
the data exchanges with those select jurisdictions.
F. Language is included to clarify the qualifications and experience of
candidates approved to serve as Risk Manager for the Agency (to include
someone who "has comparable experience to serve in that capacity").
See the references in Section 5.06.)
In summary, approval of the proposed amendments to the JPA would strengthen
the law enforcement community in Orange County by including the California
State University, Fullerton Police Department as part of the ILJAOC and making
relatively minor amendments to the JPA Agreement that would also improve the
Governing Board's ability to direct the Agency's work on behalf of all the Member
Agencies.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed amendments to the JPA and
Resolution and approved each as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be a slight decrease in the costs to Seal Beach as a result of the
addition of the two new members. Seal Beach currently pays approximately
$21,200 annually for operational costs and approximately $7,000 annually for
capital costs.

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6530, approving an amendment to
the JPA agreement for the ILJAOC to add California State University Fullerton
Police Department as a new member and make certain amendments to the JPA

1
WHEREAS, the Member Agencies desire to restate and amend said Joint

WHEREAS, the Member Agencies anticipate that from time to time it may

Agencies,
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
I
PURPOSE
1.01 The purpose of the Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange
County (ILJAOC)L is to cooperate with each Member Agency in the exercise of
some or all of their powers to establish a separate agency to facilitate the
integration and sharing of criminal justice information/data in the manner set forth in
this Agreement.
2
1.02 Each Member Agency expressly retains all rights and powers to
finance, plan, develop, construct, equip, maintain, repair, manage, operate, and
control equipment, facilities, properties, projects, and information that it deems in its
sole discretion to be necessary or desirable for its own information system needs,
and that are authorized by the laws governing it. This Agreement shall not be
interpreted, and the ILJAOC created herein, shall not have authority to impair or
control any of the Member Agencies' respective rights, powers, or title to such
equipment, facilities, properties, information, and projects, nor shall any Member
Agency be required to provide additional personnel, equipment, or services to the
ILJAOC, which are not already a part of the Member Agency's current operational
costs, or which requires them to modify their non-ILJAOC systems or services,
without their consent and full cost reimbursement from other Member Agencies or
other revenue sources.
1.03 Each Member Agency expressly retains all rights and powers to use
other funds or funding sources to finance, plan, develop, construct, equip, maintain,
repair, manage, operate, and control equipment and facilities for their information
services. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require a Member
Agency (i) to disclose any information that the Member Agency determines, in its
sole discretion, it does not have the ability or authority to disclose, or (ii) to do any
act that the Member Agency determines, in its sole discretion, is contrary to law or
public policy.
1.04 The ILJAOC is intended to provide criminal justice and law
enforcement officials who have a need and right to know, with comprehensive,
timely, and accurate information about a criminal suspect or offender, including
identity, criminal history, and current justice status. In addition, it is intended to:
a) Allow criminal justice practitioners to maintain legacy databases
and share only information that has been agreed upon in advance
by a majority vote of the Board or the individual agency affected.
b) Reduce redundant document preparation, data entry, transmission,
and storage.
3
c) Strive to identify and achieve common interests to enhance public
safety and due process.
d) Maintain individual privacy rights, preserve protections agencies
have for public records and promote appropriate access controls
and security.
e) Support the development of effective criminal justice policy in
keeping with the objectives of the Orange County Integrated Law &
Justice Strategic Plan ("Strategic Plan") adopted by the Orange
County Chiefs & Sheriff's Association in April 2001, and any
amendments to that plan as approved by a majority vote of the
Board.
f) Strive for the compatibility of automated systems and processes
among the various components of the Orange County Criminal
Justice System.
g) Acknowledge that each Member Agency is responsible for internal
agency security for their records, technical support, etc.
h) Recognize that in order to achieve overall success, resources
(personnel, software, hardware, etc.), will be shared willingly and in
some cases unequally by the Member Agencies, as long as that
cooperation does not adversely impact the mission of the sharing
member.
i) Allow the Member Agencies to work together to implement the
adopted Strategic Plan (and subsequent amendments to that
plan), for an Integrated Law & Justice System through the
information sharing which will result from that collaborative effort.
1.05 Member Agencies are not required to seek approval from the
ILJAOC to purchase, install, or modify their own (non-ILJAOC owned) equipment,
services, or work performed in conjunction with any legislative mandate/authority
granted to or required of Member Agencies in order to carry out their respective
responsibilities. Furthermore, the ILJAOC has no power or authority to control,
interfere with, or inhibit Member Agencies from conducting their own internal
business and/or providing their own (non-ILJAOC owned) resources or services to
4
other entities, which may or may not be members of or served by the ILJAOC. Any
changes to software or additional hardware that have been integrated into a
Member Agency's existing infrastructure as part of a requirement to implement the
initiatives approved by the ILJAOC Governing Board will become the sole property
of that Member Agency, when without those enhancements, the agency could no
longer operate their systems independent of the ILJAOC.
1.06 Member Agencies may modify, upgrade, or otherwise alter any of
their internal systems or processes without approval of the ILJAOC, as long as
those modifications do not inhibit the exchange of offender data and systems
implemented and/or funded by the prior action of the ILJAOC. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, a Member Agency shall have no obligation to seek
approval from the ILJAOC for any modification to that Member Agency's internal
systems or processes that is mandated by the State, or by any law or regulation
governing the affected Member Agency.
1.07 In gathering and sharing information, and in all other respects in
performing acts related to this Agreement, the parties will comply with all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations.
I I

III
ORGANIZATION
3.01 The membership of the ILJAOC shall be the original Member
Agencies, and any additional Agencies whose admission is unanimously approved,
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, by the ILJAOC Governing Board or
the then-existing Member Agencies, excluding any Member Agencies that have
withdrawn from the ILJAOC.
3.02 The ILJAOC shall be governed by a voting Board consisting of six (6)
Member Police Chiefs, each elected for a three-year term by the Orange County
Chiefs' & Sheriff's Association, along with one designated alternate, to represent
those Member Agencies with Police Departments. In addition to the Police Chief
representatives, other voting members of the Board will be the Sheriff, the District
Attorney, the Chief Probation Officer, the Public Defender, one (1) representative
from the Orange County Executive's Office, who will serve at the County of Orange
CEO's pleasure, the Presiding Judge of the Orange County Superior Court, the

member, or in the absence of a Board member, an alternate designated in advance
7
by each said Board Member, shall have one vote on all matters before the Board.
Such alternate members may be replaced from time-to-time at the appointing
Board Member's discretion. All Board Members may be removed with or without
cause by their respective appointing authorities.
3.03 Each voting Board member shall hold office until a successor is
selected, elected, hired or appointed under the powers of this Agreement and
each Member Agency. The term of a Board member or alternate (both voting
and non-voting) who is a public official or employee of a Member Agency shall
terminate upon such Board Member leaving his or her position with the Member
Agency. The vacancy of such a member who has left his or her position shall be
filled by selection, election, or appointment according to the selection process
adopted by this Agreement and the Member Agency whose representative has
left his or her position.
3.04 Board members and alternates shall not receive compensation for
their service on the ILJAOC Board, but they may be reimbursed by the ILJAOC for
reasonable expenses incurred in conducting the business of the ILJAOC, as
provided in this Agreement, when the expenses are not paid or reimbursed by their
respective employing Member Agencies.
3.05 The principal office of the ILJAOC shall be established by the
Board and shall be located within the County of Orange. The Board may change
the principal office from one location to another within the County of Orange. Any
change of address shall be noted by the Board but shall not be considered an
amendment to this Agreement.
3.06 The Board shall meet at a location as may be designated by the
Board. The time and place of regular meetings of the Board shall be determined by
resolution adopted by the Board. A copy of such resolution shall be furnished to
the Member Agencies. All meetings of the Board, including regular, adjourned, and
special meetings, shall be called and held in a manner as provided in the Ralph M.
8
Brown Act, Chapter 9, Division 2, Title 5 of the California Government Code
commencing with section 54950 et seq., as amended.
3.07 All of the powers and authority of the ILJAOC shall be exercised by
the Board unless specifically delegated, to the extent permitted by law, or reserved
to the Member Agencies under this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided herein,
each voting Board Member shall be entitled to one (1) vote. Except as otherwise
provided herein, a majority of the full voting membership of the Board or their
alternate present at a properly noticed meeting, shall constitute a quorum for
purposes of transacting business. A majority vote of that quorum may adopt any
motion, resolution, or order and take any other action appropriate to carry forward
the objectives of the ILJAOC pursuant to this Agreement, with the exception of the
adoption of the budget or other appropriations in excess of the adopted budget as
outlined in Section 4.04 of this Agreement, in which case a two-thirds majority of
the entire voting membership or their alternates is required for approval.
3.08 The Board shall designate a recording secretary to establish,
distribute, and post agenda notices as required by law, keep the minutes of all open
meetings of the Board, and cause a copy of such minutes to be forwarded to each
Member Agency within a reasonable time after each meeting.
3.09 The Board may adopt policies, rules, and regulations for the conduct
of its administrative affairs and that of the ILJAOC as may be required and that are
consistent with this Agreement.
3.10 Where this Agreement requires an approval of a resolution or
ordinance by any Member Agencies in any matter, the approval shall be evidenced
by a certified copy of the resolution or ordinance of the governing body of such
Member Agency filed with the ILJAOC. It shall be the responsibility of the Board to
provide certified copies of said actions.
3.11 On an annual basis, the Board shall elect two Board members to act
as Chair and Vice-Chair of the Agency for the purpose of conducting the Board
9
meetings and performing other duties as required. The Vice-Chair may carry out all
the duties of the Chair in his/her absence.
3.12 The Board shall appoint an officer or employee of a Member Agency
to hold the offices of Treasurer and Controller ("Treasurer/Controller"), whose
duties shall be in conformance with Government Code sections 6505 and 6505.5,
and whose salary, if any, shall be established by the Board. The
Treasurer/Controller shall also administer all contracts subsequent to the Board's
approval and shall contract with a certified public accountant to make an annual
audit of the accounts and records of the ILJAOC as provided in Government Code
section 6505. The annual audit shall be submitted to the Board and each Member
Agency when completed. The budget, covering a budget cycle set by the Board,
shall be prepared by the Treasurer/Controller for the approval by the Board. The
ILJAOC's investment policies shall be the policies of the Member Agency of the
Treasurer/Controller, as those may be modified by the Board of the ILJAOC. The
cost of the Treasurer/Controller in carrying out his/her duties, including, with
limitation, any outside professional services, shall be reimbursed by the ILJAOC.
3.13 The Board shall have the power to appoint/hire additional officers,
employees, or agents. Any officer, employee, or agent of the ILJAOC who is an
officer, employee, or agent of any of the Member Agencies will continue to be
subject to the Member Agency's personnel system. However, the ILJAOC may hire
employees that are subject to the personnel system of the ILJAOC and said
employees shall not be considered employees of any Member Agency. Any
person from any Member Agency appointed by the Board to fulfill a staff position
with the ILJAOC shall possess appropriate qualifications to carry out his or her
responsibilities.
3.14 The City Attorneys, County Counsel or their Deputies of the Member
Agencies may generally serve as counsel to the ILJAOC, to the extent agreed to by
the respective Member Agency and permitted by such waivers of conflicts of
interest to authorize such representation as may be executed by such Member
Agency and the ILJAOC Board. The specific and ongoing duties of legal counsel to
10
the ILJAOC may be rotated no less than annually; however, preferably for a term
consistent with the Treasurer/Controller appointment and shall be on a voluntary
basis. The assignment of one of those individuals to perform the required duties
shall be solicited from the legal counsels of the Member Agencies, and is subject to
the final approval of the ILJAOC Board.
3.15 The officers of the ILJAOC Board shall perform all duties customary
and appropriate to their respective offices and:
a) After approval by the ILJAOC Board, the Board Chair shall
sign all contracts on behalf of the ILJAOC Board.
b) The secretary shall perform such duties as assigned by the
Board and shall keep minutes of the Board meetings.
c) The Treasurer/Controller shall be bonded in the amount to be
determined by the Board and the bond fee shall be paid by the
ILJAOC. The Treasurer/Controller shall perform the duties as
set forth in this Agreement.
3.16 The Board may appoint an Executive Director by contract or
otherwise to oversee day-to-day operations of the ILJAOC. The Executive
Director shall manage the daily operations of the ILJAOC and supervision of any
other ILJAOC employees.
3.17 All of the privileges and immunities from liability, exemption from
laws, ordinances and rules, all relief, pension, disability, worker's compensation,
and other benefits which apply to the activities or omissions of officials, officers,
employees, volunteers, or agents of any of the Member Agencies when
performing their respective functions for their respective Member Agency shall
apply to such person(s) to the same degree and extent while they are assigned
to the ILJAOC to perform and are performing any of the functions and other
duties of the ILJAOC pursuant to authority granted by this Agreement. None of
the officials, officers, agents, volunteers, or employees of a Member Agency
appointed to the Board or performing services at the direction of the ILJAOC
11
shall be deemed by reason of their appointment or service to be employed by
any of the other Member Agencies or the ILJAOC or be subject to any of the
requirements of the other Member Agencies.
IV
BUDGET AND DISBURSEMENTS
4.01 The Board shall adopt a budget for the ensuing fiscal year(s)
pursuant to procedures developed by the Board. At the conclusion of each fiscal
year, the Treasurer/Controller shall make a report to the Board regarding the
excess or deficiency of revenues over (or under) expenditures. Such report shall
include "budget to actual" comparisons based upon the previously adopted
budget. Upon receipt of the report, the Board shall determine what extent, if any,
unexpended budgetary appropriations shall be re-appropriated or whether any
excess of revenues over expenditures shall be allocated or expended.
4.02 The Treasurer/Controller shall draw warrants upon the approval
and written order of the Board or the Board's Executive Director. The Board shall
requisition the payment of funds only upon approval of such claims or
disbursements and such requisition for payment in accordance with rules,
regulations, policies, procedures, and by-laws adopted by the Board.
4.03 All funds received by the Treasurer/Controller for services provided
by the ILJAOC, will be placed in object accounts, and the receipt, transfer, or
disbursement of such funds during the term of this Agreement shall be accounted
for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to
governmental entities. There shall be strict accountability of all funds. All
revenues and expenditures shall be reported to the Board on a quarterly basis,
unless otherwise required by the Board.
4.04 All expenditures within the approved budget shall be made upon
the approval of the Treasurer/Controller in accordance with the rules, policies,
12
and procedures adopted by the Board. No expenditure in excess of those
budgeted shall be made without the two-thirds majority approval of the entire
Board, and the budget shall thereafter be revised and amended.
4.05 The records and accounts of the ILJAOC shall be audited annually
by an independent certified public accountant and any cost of the audit shall be
paid by the ILJAOC. The minimum requirements shall be those prescribed by
the State Controller under California Government Code section 26909 and in
conformance with generally accepted auditing standards. Copies of such audit
report shall be filed with each Member Agency no later than fifteen (15) days
after receipt of said audit by the Board.
4.06 The Member Agencies have agreed by resolution through their
respective Governing Authorities to fund on a shared basis, the costs of the
ILJAOC operations, and capital in excess of any grant funds, through annual
budget appropriations. Each Member Agency's agreement to provide such funds
in fiscal years after the fiscal year in which the original ILJAOC Joint Powers
Agreement was executed, is contingent upon appropriation by the governing
body of that Member Agency of sufficient funds for that purpose. The subject
resolutions shall not limit the authority of each Member Agency to cease
appropriations for the ILJAOC operations as determined by their respective
Governing Authorities, provided, however, that a decision to cease
appropriations shall be subject to the terms of Section 6.02 below. In addition,
where the ILJAOC has an obligation under the terms of this Agreement to
reimburse a Member Agency for providing personnel, equipment, and/or services
to the ILJAOC, the Member Agency providing such personnel, equipment, and/or
services may waive its right to reimbursement. When a Member Agency incurs
costs eligible for reimbursement under the terms of this agreement, those costs
shall include only those which are not part of the Member Agency's pre-existing
infrastructure/operation prior to the effective date of this Agreement. They also
shall not include overhead charges. Costs for the ILJAOC operations referenced
in accordance with this Section 4.06 shall be shared as follows:
13
a) Member Agencies with Municipal Police Departments and the
Orange County Sheriff's Department, which serves the
unincorporated area of the County as well as their "contract cities,"
shall be determined on a per capita served basis, with the
combined total amount not to exceed 80% of total costs.
b) County of Orange; an amount not to exceed 15% of total costs.
c) The Superior Court of California, County of Orange; an amount not
to exceed 5% of total costs.
d) The University of California Police Department; an amount not to
exceed 0.75% of total costs.
e) California State University, Fullerton Police Department, an amount
not to exceed 0.75% of total costs.
4.07 The Member Agencies acknowledge and agree that the ILJAOC
will act as a conduit for the management, direction, and provision of integrated
services to the Member Agencies and to other public agencies that contract with
ILJAOC for such services.
4.08 Based on information provided by the Executive Director or other
designated representatives of the ILJAOC, the Treasurer/Controller shall keep a
written account of any services provided to other public agencies by the ILJAOC.
All revenues received from other public agencies contracting or receiving
services from the ILJAOC for services shall be used to offset the costs incurred
by the ILJAOC. The Governing Board shall determine whether those funds shall
be placed in a Capital Reserve or otherwise allocated in the ILJAOC's Budget
and/or projected costs to Member Agencies.
4.09 In establishing rates for services to non-Member Agency public
agencies, the Board shall assure that the contracts for such services provide for
the reimbursement of the actual expenses of providing all services of the
ILJAOC, including insurance coverage for the ILJAOC's personnel and
equipment. Payment for the ILJAOC services by contracting public agencies
shall be made on a monthly basis, or no less frequently than on a quarterly basis
14

Treasurer/Controller shall provide a written quarterly account to the Board of all
revenues and expenses of the ILJAOC services to other public agencies.

shall recommend to the Member Agencies amounts needed for Capital
Replacement. The amount of the provision for Capital Replacement in each
ILJAOC annual budget will depend on the amounts appropriated by the Member
Agencies for such purposes during each fiscal year. Said funds shall be
transferred to the ILJAOC monthly by the Member Agencies for deposit in the
ILJAOC's Capital Replacement fund. The actual purchase of new equipment
and disposal of unneeded equipment shall be done whenever determined
appropriate and justified by the Board.
4.11 All revenues derived from service contracts with other public
agencies shall be maintained in a separate revenue account for the ILJAOC.
The Treasurer/Controller shall be responsible for accounting for all such revenue.
The Board shall be responsible for determining the appropriate allocation of such
funds as part of the budget adoption process.
V
LIABILITIES
5.01 Except as provided in Section 8.05 of this Agreement, the ILJAOC
and the Member Agencies agree, to the extent allowed by law, that the Member
Agencies shall be fully protected from any loss, injury, liability, damage, claim,
lawsuit, cost, or expense arising out of, or in any way related to, the performance
of this Agreement by the ILJAOC. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement
should be broadly construed in favor of protection for the Member Agencies and
interpreted to provide the fullest possible protection to the Member Agencies and
15
Member Agency's officials, officers, agents, volunteers, and employees. ILJAOC
acknowledges that the Member Agencies would not have entered into this
Agreement in the absence of the commitments of the ILJAOC as specified in this
Article V.
5.02 The Member Agencies acknowledge that each Member Agency
may be assigning its own personnel to a cooperative pool of personnel to provide
service to the ILJAOC. The ILJAOC shall be solely responsible for and retain all
debts, liabilities, and other obligations for all activities of the ILJAOC, and shall
maintain sufficient insurance coverage in effect at all times to cover any such
claim, loss, liability, or obligation, as recommended by the ILJAOC Risk Manager
and approved by the Board.
5.03 Except as provided in Section 8.05, the ILJAOC shall protect,
defend, indemnify, and hold free and harmless the Member Agencies and their
respective elected and appointed boards, officials, officers, agents, volunteers,
and employees from and against any and all liabilities, damages, loss, cost,
claims, expenses, actions, or proceedings of any kind or nature caused by
ILJAOC employees or employees of Member Agencies who are performing
ILJAOC functions, including, but not by way of limitation, injury or death of any
person, injury or damage to any property, including consequential damages and
attorney's fees and costs, resulting or arising out of or in any way connected with
the negligent acts or failure to act in the course and scope of carrying out their
responsibilities in the performance of their duties to the ILJAOC. In addition, and
without limiting the foregoing indemnification obligation, except as provided in
Section 5.04, the ILJAOC will maintain sufficient insurance coverage in effect at
all times as recommended by their Risk Manager, to cover any such damage
claim, loss, cost, expense, action, proceeding, liability, or obligation.
5.04 Any contract with a non-member public agency ("non Member
Agency") receiving services from the ILJOAC shall include a mutual
indemnification provision wherein the non Member Agency and the ILJAOC shall
mutually agree to defend and indemnify the other in an amount equal to its
16
proportionate share of liability on a comparative fault basis. The contract shall
also provide that: 1) The indemnity obligation shall exist with respect to any
claim, loss, liability, damage, lawsuit, cost, or expense that arises out of, or is in
any way related to, the performance of services pursuant to the contract; and 2)
The obligation of the non-Member Agency and the ILJAOC pursuant to the
indemnification provision will extend, without limitation, to an injury, death, loss,
or damage which occurs in the performance of the contract and that is sustained
by any third party, any agent, or contractor of the non-Member Agency or the
ILJAOC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in situations where a non-Member
Agency lacks the authority to enter into an agreement containing the specific
terms specified above in this Section 5.04, the ILJAOC may enter into an
agreement without such terms (or including only some of those terms) only after
(1) a finding by and affirmative vote of a two-thirds majority of all voting Board
members, or their alternates, that the risk of entering into such an agreement is
outweighed by the benefit to be obtained by entering into the agreement, and (2)
a determination by the ILJAOC's Risk Manager that insurance provisions
applicable to the agreement are adequate given the specific risks presented.
5.05 Member Agencies shall be responsible for the continued provision
of worker's compensation coverage for the officers or employees of the Member
Agencies that are assigned to provide services to the ILJAOC and/or serve as
officers or employees of the ILJAOC. In this regard, each Member Agency shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the ILJAOC and any other Member
Agencies, and their respective officials officers, employees, contractors, agents,
and representatives with respect to any claim, loss, liability, damage, lawsuit,
cost, or expense, including attorney's fees and costs, that arises out of, or is in
any way related, to any industrial/worker compensation injury sustained by an
officer or employee of the indemnifying Member Agency during the performance
of service to the ILJAOC or the other Member Agencies under this Agreement.
5.06 ILJAOC shall employ the principles of sound risk management in its
operations. Risks of loss shall be identified, evaluated, and treated in a manner
that protects the ILJAOC and each Member Agency from adverse financial
17
consequences. This may be accomplished in part through the purchase of
appropriate commercial insurance.
The Risk Manager, or his/her designee, of one Member Agency shall be
designated by the Board, with the consent of the Member Agency, as the
"ILJAOC Risk Manager" and shall act in an advisory capacity to the ILJAOC
Board to provide guidance in the area of risk management, loss control,
insurance procurement, and claims management. Should a Member Agency
Risk Manager not be available to serve the ILJAOC, the Board may designate
someone who has comparable experience to serve in that capacity. The ILJAOC
Risk Manager will be responsible for maintaining the original insurance policies
and other risk management and insurance documents.
During the term of this Agreement, the ILJAOC shall purchase and
maintain sufficient amounts of commercial insurance coverage at the equally
shared cost to the Member Agencies. The types, limits, retention levels,
deductibles, policy forms, and carriers providing the above required insurance
coverage's shall be recommended by the ILJAOC Risk Manager to the Board for
its approval, consistent with this Agreement.

services, or equipment by that Member Agency.
b) In the case of a voluntary withdrawal, written notice shall be
given one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of a
fiscal year except that such notice requirement may be

Member Agency may also recover any other equipment no
longer needed by the ILJAOC, including equipment it
previously transferred to the ILJAOC, according to the terms
and conditions determined by the Board in its sole discretion
to be fair and equitable. The ILJAOC Board may choose to
exempt a Member Agency from any of the listed conditions,

some or all of their powers to establish a separate agency to facilitate the
integration and sharing of criminal justice information/data in the manner set forth in
this Agreement.
2
1.02 Each Member Agency expressly retains all rights and powers to
finance, plan, develop, construct, equip, maintain, repair, manage, operate, and
control equipment,facilities, properties, projects, and information that it deems in its
sole discretion to be necessary or desirable for its own information system needs,
and that are authorized by the laws governing it. This Agreement shall not be
interpreted, and the ILJAOC created herein, shall not have authority to impair or
control any of the Member Agencies' respective rights, powers, or title to such
equipment, facilities, properties, information, and projects, nor shall any Member
Agency be required to provide additional personnel, equipment, or services to the
ILJAOC, which are not already a part of the Member Agency's current operational
costs, or which requires them to modify their non-ILJAOC systems or services,
without their consent and full cost reimbursement from other Member Agencies or
other revenue sources.
1.03 Each Member Agency expressly retains all rights and powers to use
other funds or funding sources to finance, plan, develop, construct, equip, maintain,
repair, manage, operate, and control equipment and facilities for their information
services. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require a Member
Agency (i) to disclose any information that the Member Agency determines, in its
sole discretion, it does not have the ability or authority to disclose, or(ii) to do any
act that the Member Agency determines, in its sole discretion, is contrary to law or
public policy.
1.04 The ILJAOC is intended to provide criminal justice and law
enforcement officials who have a need and right to know, with comprehensive,
timely, and accurate information about a criminal suspect or offender, including
identity, criminal history, and current justice status. In addition, it is intended to:
a) Allow criminal justice practitioners to maintain legacy databases
and share only information that has been agreed upon in advance
by a majority vote of the Board or the individual agency affected.
b) Reduce redundant document preparation, data entry, transmission,
and storage.
3
c) Strive to identify and achieve common interests to enhance public
safety and due process.
d) Maintain individual privacy rights, preserve protections agencies
have for public records and promote appropriate access controls
and security.
e) Support the development of effective criminal justice policy in
keeping with the objectives of the Orange County Integrated Law&
Justice Strategic Plan ("Strategic Plan") adopted by the Orange
aCounty Chiefs & Sheriffs Association in April ef-2001, and any
amendments to that plan as approved by a majority vote of the
Board.
f) Strive for the compatibility of automated systems and processes
among the various components of the Orange County Criminal
Justice System.
g) Acknowledge that each Member Agency is responsible for internal
agency security for their records, technical support, etc.
h) Recognize that in order to achieve overall success, resources
(personnel, software, hardware, etc.), will be shared willingly and in
some cases unequally by the Member Agencies, as long as that
cooperation does not adversely impact the mission of the sharing
member.
i) Allow the Member Agencies to work together to implement the
adopted Strategic Plan (and subsequent amendments to that
plan), for an Integrated Law & Justice System through the
information sharing which will result from that collaborative effort.
1.05 Member Agencies are not required to seek approval from the
ILJAOC to purchase, install, or modify their own (non-ILJAOC owned) equipment,
services, or work performed in conjunction with any legislative mandate/authority
granted to or required of Member Agencies in order to carry out their respective
responsibilities. Furthermore, the ILJAOC has no power or authority to control,
interfere with, or inhibit Member Agencies from conducting their own internal
business and/or providing their own (non-ILJAOC owned) resources or services to
4
other entities, which may or may not be members of or served by the ILJAOC. Any
changes to software or additional hardware that have been integrated into a
Member Agency's existing infrastructure as part of a requirement to implement the
initiatives as-approved by the JPA Ad-visery,ILJAOC Governing Board;will become
the sole property of that Member Agency, when without those enhancements, the
agency could no longer operate their systems independent of the JPAILJAOC.
1.06 Member Agencies may modify, upgrade, or otherwise alter any of
their internal systems or processes without approval of the ILJAOC, as long as
those modifications do not inhibit the exchange of offender data and systems
implemented and/or funded by the prior action of the ILJAOC. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, a Member Agency shall have no obligation to seek
approval from the ILJAOC for any modification to that Member Agency's internal
systems or processes that is mandated by the State, or by any law or regulation
governing the affected Fnembe rMember Agency.
1.07 In gathering and sharing information, and in all other respects in
performing acts related to this Agreement, the parties will comply with all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations.
