SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO 2 -27 -06 CONSENT ITEM # M —Proposed Joint
Powers Authority — Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange
I received, on Friday, February 24, 2006, from the Chairman of the ILJAOC Steering
Committee, Robert McDonell — Chief of Police for the Newport Beach Police
Department, a suggestion amending the proposed joint powers authority agreement.
Based upon his input, I am suggesting that that language in the CONSENT ITEM # M —
Proposed Joint Powers Authority — Integrated Law and Justice Agency for
Orange County ( ILJAOC), before you, should include additional language designed to
facilitate future, non - substantive, amendments to the agreement authorizing the City
Manager and City Clerk to execute changes to the agreement, without having to take it
before the City Council for review, resolution, and amendment. The key concept is that
this language only addresses non - substantive amendments, and in no way dilutes the
authority of the City Council.
A sample of the suggested language might read as follows: `The Joint Powers
Agreement establishing the Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange County is
hereby approved, and the City Manager and clerk of the Council are hereby authorized
to execute this Agreement with such non - substantive changes as may be approved by
the Chief of Police or designee and the City Attorney."
Our recommendation for your action at the February 27, 2006 Seal Beach City Council
Meeting remains unchanged.
will forward a complete revised agreement incorporating the suggested language, via
the City Attorney and the City Manager as soon as possible.
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: February 21, 2006
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Jeff Kirkpatrick, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Proposed Joint Powers Authority — Integrated Law and Justice
Agency for Orange County
SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
The City of Seal Beach Police Department has participated in the Orange County
Integrated Law and Justice project since 1997. This ongoing project is linking all Orange
County law, justice, and affiliated agencies together via automation with the intent to
operate all agencies more efficiently, with less court induced overtime, and share crime
and data information quickly, and reduce overall operating costs in the process. The
project to date was funded with a federal grant. Those grant monies are spent and must
be replaced by those of the participating agency grants. To do so, a joint powers
authority has been designed to provide governance for policy development and the use of
those monies. This request seeks approval to join the proposed Integrated Law and
Justice Agency for Orange County (ILJAOC)
BACKGROUND:
Since 1997 the Orange County Chiefs and Sheriff's Association has been developing a
strategy to integrate information sharing between county and city law enforcement
agencies as well as county probation, the public defender and the courts. There have
been federal grant funds issued to hire a consulting firm to develop and implement the
project. The Integrated Law and Justice Joint Powers Steering Committee is ready to go
forward with the governance structure that will allow expenditure of funds. It has already
begun to provide police officers with electronic subpoenas. It will also allow access to
case dispositions by all police agencies and teams and conditions of probation will be
available to all agencies, including officers in the field.
To participate in this project, member cities must participate in the Joint Powers
Agreement and become a member agency. This information sharing will continue to
grow as we develop strategies for accessing records management systems throughout the
county. This architecture is robust enough to be easily upgraded to allow for state and
federal information sources as they come on line. Member agencies can withdraw from
the JPA at any time.
AGENDA ITEMN
In January 2003, the City Council was presented an Agenda Report requesting
authorization to participate in the formation of the Integrated Law and Justice Agency
Joint Powers Authority. The recommendation contained in this report is necessary
because the Agency was never formed based upon the County's failure to bring the
matter before the Board of Supervisors in December of 2002 as originally drafted
because of last minute objections from the Sheriff. The proposed JPA, which is attached
as Exhibit 1, is essentially the same as adopted by Council in 2002, without the County as
a participant.
On September 7, 2005, a presentation was made to the Orange County City Managers'
Association (OCCMA) as a follow up to the attached letter (Exhibit 4), signed by every
Chief of Police in the County, the District Attorney and the Presiding Judge of the
Superior Court. The request was a clear one. The time had come — and was past due, to
implement the JPA Governance, even without the County participation, to insure the
overall work of the IU Project and significant resources such as the COPLINK System
remain viable and are improved into the future.
On November 2, 2005, the OCCMA again deliberated on the issue, and those City
Managers with municipal police departments unanimously approved the recommendation
to form the JPA for the Integrated Law & Justice Agency. The letter memorializing that
action is attached as Exhibit 5.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No General Fund impact will occur. Funding to support Seal Beach participation shall be
drawn from available law enforcement grants outside the General Fund, such as, but not
limited to the COPS /SLESF, COPS -More, LLEBG, and/or similar law enforcement,
restricted -use, state and federal grants. There are no anticipated personnel to be funded
by the JPA. Any future costs to the city will be shared by all member agencies. Seal
Beach participation in the JPA is anticipated to represent 1% of the overall cost share
based on a Deloitte- prepared cost sharing document dated October 21, 2005. The
document is attached as Exhibit 3. Beginning in 2006, the Seal Beach share is estimated
at $7,000. Participation is programmed to rise in 2007 to $10,000, and from 2008
onward to remain at $18,000 annually. We propose to immediately fund this cost from
our existing COPS /SLESF monies.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the attached Resolution No. 5437 (Exhibit 2) authorizing the City of
Seal Beach to participate in the Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange
County (ILJAOC) and authorize the Mayor to execute the Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA) associated with the City's participation, and authorize the City
Manager and/or Police Chief to execute any related documents consistent with the
implementation of this Agreement.
2
2. Adopt the attached Resolution No. 5438 (Exhibit 2) approving Budget
Amendment No. 06 -12 appropriating funds directed to the ILJAOC.
3. Ratify the COPLINK System Use Policy (Exhibit 6), specifically authorizing the
Chief of Police to execute the document and any amendments on behalf of the
City.
It is recommended that the City Council support the attached Resolutions and Agreement
to become a member agency of the Joint Powers Agreement for the Integrated Law &
Justice Agency for Orange County and authorize signature by the Mayor.

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). 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.
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 IWAOC 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 non4LJAOC systems or services,
without their consent and full cost reimbursement from other Member Agencies or
other revenue sources.
2
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.
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.
c) Strive to identify and achieve common interests to enhance public
safety and due process.
d) Maintain individual privacy rights and promote appropriate access
controls and security.
e) Support the development of effective criminal justice policy in keeping
with the objectives of the adopted Orange County Integrated Law &
Justice Strategic Plan ( "Strategic Plan ") 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
3
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
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 Agencys existing infrastructure as part of a requirement to implement the
initiatives as approved by the JPA Advisory 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 JPA.
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

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 Project Manager. 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,
11
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 the County Auditor and 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 this Agreement is 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 Section 4.06 shall be shared
as follows:
12
a) Member Agencies with Municipal Police Departments and the
unincorporated area and contract cities policed by the County Sheriffs
Department as determined on a per capita basis = 80 %.
b) County of Orange on behalf of the District Attorney, Probation
Department, and the Public Defender, prorated among them equally =
15 %.
c) The Superior Court of California, County of Orange = 5 %.
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 Project Manager or other
designated representative 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 Agency's Budget
and/or projected costs to Member Agencies.
4.09 In establishing rates for services to 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 to the
Treasurer /Controller of the ILJAOC. The Treasurer /Controller shall provide a
written monthly account to the Board of all revenues and expenses of the
ILJAOC services to other public agencies.
4.10 The ILJAOC budget shall include the provision for a Capital
Replacement fund that will provide for, among other things, the replacement of
13
the equipment owned and operated by the ILJAOC. The ILJAOC Board annually
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

LIABILITIES
5.01 Except as provided in Section 8.05, 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
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.

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 and for which 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 pursuant to this Agreement 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
proportionate share of liability on a comparative fault basis. The contract shall
also provide: 1) That 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,
is
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.

any way related, to any industrialtworker 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
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

As discussed at the last City Manager's meeting that we attended, Deloitte has completed the
development of a preliminary operating budget for the proposed Orange County Integrated Justice
JPA. The costs are made up of two broad categories. The first is general operations, management and
overhead costs that can be expected to be incurred. The second is maintenance related costs associated
with the existing projects that have been deployed (COPLO K, the subpoena delivery system and the
scheduling system).
The costs are still preliminary and therefore we have attempted to put together a very conservative
budget to indicate what the costs would be for operating the existing systems in a worst -cue scenario.
From the perspective of the City Managers, the most important consideration is the impact on each
City. Even that is somewhat challenging to get to as the most significant issue faced in developing the
costs is the level of participation by the County agencies, the Sheriff s Department and the Sheriffs
contract cities. The following table therefore outlines a worst-cam scenario (from a cost sharing
perspective) where the County, the Sheriff s Department and the contract cities do not participate.

The above table outlines estimated operating costs across each of the next five years for those
municipalities with Police Departments and includes the Superior Court. A mom favorable cost
allocation (attached as Table 2) provides a scenario based on the participation of the County, the
Sheriff and the contract cities.
As mentioned above, the costs are made up of specific technical services costs associated with
maintaining the system as well as operational coats to cover the administration and operation of the
JPA. We are finding, not unexpectedly, that a significant effort is required to deal with regular
administration of the systems including coordinating and conducting training, managing accounts and
passwords, overseeing vendors and generally managing the operations and lifecycle of the systems.
The operations costs presented in the table below are intended to cover those costs.
operations Costs
Management and Consulting Contra
$200,000
Risk Management and Insurance
$50,000
Security Services
$100,000
Data Center Operations and
Maintenance
$50,000
Network Costs
$20,000
The management and consulting costs are a very high level estimate for operations management and
associated consulting. Our understanding is that you intend to contract for these services rather than
having a permanent staff and this approach is certainly logical for a number of reasons. We believe
strongly that this is an important function. The personnel would provide important services including
dayAo.day admimstration, vendor coordination, contract management and performance of general
agency support, such as coordinating training, demonstrations and other activities.
We also believe that it will likely be necessary to procure some insurance in the near future at least to
indemnify the directors and board members of the JPA.
In the past, the justice community has relied on the Sheriffs Department for setting and enforcing
security standards. Clearly in the current situation that strategy is no longer appropriate. The JPA
members need to take direct responsibility for performing the security due diligence in order to protect
the systems and information and to manage the liability of the member agencies.
Mr. Tim O'Donnell
October 21, 2005
Page 3
At the current time, we are not incurring data center or network operations costs; however, we believe
it prudent to have an allowance for such costs in the event that Santa Ana (or other operator) needs to
start recovering costs associated with housing the OCILJ systems.
The system specific costs are presented in the table below.

Maintenance is estimated based on our understanding to date. The periodic enhancement amounts are
really optional and the participating agencies would have the opportunity to decide to make those
expenditures or not. To date these kinds of expenditures have been funded through grant funds and it
is possible that you may be able to continue to do so for some time. We felt that for the purposes of
fully understanding the potential costs it was important to include some allowance in the event that
enhancements would be funded in the absence of grant funding. The hardware refresh reserve is our
recommended amount that should be placed in reserve on an annual basis to replace the infrastructure
every 4 to 6 years.
The operations costs are not expected to reach these levels immediately. We have structured most of
the contracts in a manner that allows for several years of maintenance to be rolled into the capital costs
of the system and therefore it will take several years for the fully operational cost impact to be
realized. Our initial estimate of how the costs will roll out in the next five years is summarized in the
table below.

The costs incurred by each agency are dependent on a range of factors including the actual costs (The
estimates provided here are thought to be very conservative) and the number of agencies that are
participating. The table included in the body of this letter outlines the cost allocation to each of the
agencies based on the County agencies and the Sheriff a Department = participating. Clearly this is
a worst -case scenario.
W. Tim O'Donnell
October 21, 2005

Again, I want to reinforce that these costs are conservative. The agencies will have the ability to
decide how full featured they want the organization to be, and especially to what degree to pursue
enhancements and other initiatives that will increase overall costs. I do think it is important though, to
put forward the costs in such a manner to allow stakeholders to understand the range of costs that they
may incur to support the systems on a go-forward basis.
Sincerely,
Stephen Lee

Mr. Bob Dominguez, President
Orange County City Managers' Association
C/O City Manager's Office
City of Placentia
401 East Chapman Avenue
Placentia, CA 92870
Dear President Dominguez:
As members of the Orange County Criminal Justice System and in some cases,
concurrently serving on the Orange County Integrated Law & Justice (OCILJ)
Steering Committee, we are writing to you to convey a sense of urgency and to
enlist your support to finally implement the recommended governance structure
for the OCIU Project
By way of background, this Project has been in existence since early 1997 and
has progressed through the production of a Strategic Plan and the identification
of eight different initiatives, which we have been in the process of implementing
once the Orange County Chiefs' and Sheriffs Association (OCCSA) adopted the
Plan unanimously in 2001. For those City Managers not familiar with the
Strategic Plan, it was the result of a combined effort of the entire Criminal Justice
System to identify issues which have led to improvements in the sharing of
information and processes among all those involved. We have made great
strides in breaking down many traditional barriers that have existed, and have
implemented innovative approaches to the electronic sharing of information,
using leading edge technology. The Plan is available if you would like to review it
in more detail.
Over the past five years, we have received continued Federal funding for the
Project totaling well over $3 million dollars, through the assistance of former
Congressman Christopher Cox. We also have received actual and projected
funding commitments through Urban Area Security Initiative Grants totaling
approximately $2 million in additional dollars.
As part of our work on a number of identified initiatives in the Strategic Plan, we
are now engaged in what can best be described as one of the "centerpieces" of
the Project — the implementation of the COPLINK System, about which you will
learn more during your September Ph meeting. The.essence of the System will
be to link all of the disparate criminal justice databases which east in the County
— over two dozen — in an effort to share data and produce investigative leads for
Police Officers, Sheriffs Deputies (assuming the Sheriff ultimately decides to
participate), and other authorized users of the System. Effective July le, we
went `live' with Phase 1 of the Project and have linked the databases of five
municipal police departments and the entire Court Citation Database, which
OCCMA President Dominguez
August 22, 2005
Page 2
Includes all citations written in this County, including all those written by the
California Highway Patrol. We are now engaged in Phase 2 of the Project, which
will bring together the rest of the members of the Criminal Justice System,
represented by the signatures of those agency heads listed in this
correspondence, as their organizations are able to make the transition.
In a June 19, 2002 letter (copy attached) to the OCIU Steering Committee, the
Orange County City Managers' Association ( OCCMA) reported on the results of
their review of alternative governance models as presented for the Project by the
County of Orange Executive Office and the Sheriffs Department at your April 3,
2002 meeting. The latter presentation was compared to the proposed Joint
Powers Authority (JPA) Governance recommended by the OCIW Steering
Committee and your representatives on that Committee, City Managers Tim
O'Donnell and Dave Rudat In your letter, you reported that your membership
"voted overwhelmingly in concept to support the JPA Governance model
presented.' Following that direction, we proceeded to have the draft of the JPA
document reviewed by numerous cities' attorneys, as well as County Counsel.
The Steering Committee Chairman, along with City Manager Tim O'Donnell, had
already met with then County Executive Officer (CEO), Michael Schumacher,
and County Assistant CEO, Bill Mahoney, on December 12, 2001, to negotiate
the language in the draft document — line by line. We discussed and reached
agreement on all of the proposed language until CEO Schumacher felt that the
County's interests were addressed. In a follow -up e-mail, dated March 30, 2002,
he acknowledged that fact by stating that "Bill Mahoney and I met with you and
Tim on the JPA until we were all satisfied with the document"
Several cities proceeded to adopt the proposed JPA, and it was agendized for
Board of Supervisors' action on Tuesday, December 10, 2002, as proposed by
the District Attorney who was presenting the action to the Board. The District
Attorney decided to carry the item because the Sheriffs position at the time was
to "not oppose' the action, although he would not advocate for it
Several days before the Board was to consider the matter, Assistant Sheriff Doug
Storm notified the Steering Committee Chairman that the Sheriff had changed his
position and would now oppose the action and advocated the South County
Contract City Managers to do likewise. In fairness to those Managers, and
according to their reports, they had not been kept abreast of the Project and its
associated implications by the Sheriffs staff. As a result of a request by
Supervisor Wilson, the District Attorney withdrew the Board item for
consideration and it has never returned for their review.
OCCMA President Dominguez
August 22, 2005
Page 3
Meanwhile, a committee of South County Contract City Managers was formed,
and numerous sessions were held in an effort to find some common ground with
their colleagues in cites with municipal police departments. The OCILJ Steering
Committee Chairman and other members participated in a number of those
meetings. To date, the matter has not been formally reconsidered by the full
membership of the OCCMA.
The underlying intent of this correspondence is to make it dear we do not believe
more time can go by without resolving the governance issue. Currently, we have
OCILJ applications in operation that have now exceeded their warranty and
require ongoing maintenance and support, which we are unable to address due
to the lack of governance. While we still have ample grant funds for new or
expanded applications as part of our Strategic Plan implementation, they are not
eligible to be spent for ongoing maintenance and support costs.
When the proposed JPA was last discussed, it was our intent (or hope) to utilize
the Sheriffs Telecommunications Network to operate the anticipated
applications. When the latest data - sharing ( COPLINK) Initiative was
implemented, the Sheriffs Department would not allow it to operate on their
network for a variety of reasons. As a result, it forced the OCILJ to develop an
altemative — and we did. The COPLINK application now functions on the Internet
through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which affords it a proper level of
security to comply with established standards for such information sharing. The
new network is hosted by the City of Santa Ana and their Police Department and
is performing as intended. As a result, we now have the ability to "plug-in" or "un-
plug" those agenciesldepartments who do not want to be a part of the JPA and
share their information cooperatively with the rest of us. Accordingly, we are no
longer dependant on the Sheriffs Department to host the applications being
developed. Those individuals representing their agencies by signing this
correspondence intend to share such information.
We would also like to make it dear that we still hope the Sheriff ultimately comes
to the informed conclusion that it is in the best interest of those he represents to
participate in this collective effort His Department provides police services to
23% of the population from the unincorporated and contract cities in Orange
County and as a result, it makes logical sense to share the information he
collects on their behalf with the rest of the Criminal Justice System in this County.
However, should that not be the case, two no longer is a technical reason to
prevent the rest of us from doing so, nor is there any reason to prevent us from
adopting a JPA form of governance to oversee the full implementation of the
adopted Strategic Plan and the ongoing support of our efforts over the course of
many years to come.
OCCSA President Dominguez
August 22, 2005
Page 4
As a result of all of these facts, you will also find attached to this correspondence
a current 2005 Draft Copy of the proposed OCILJ Joint Powers Authority
document, the substance of which contains the same language that has been in
existence for a number of years. It has undergone much legal and policy review
and should be ready for adoption, should that be the ultimate decision.
In summary, we are asking you to move forward with any final review you believe
is necessary. However, in our professional opinion, after three and one -half
years of waiting, we need resolution and your support to implement the JPA and
cement the hard work that has brought us to this point by protecting the long-
term investment of resources devoted to this effort.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear
On November 2, 2005 those Orange County City Managers with municipal police
departments acted to endorse the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) model for
governance of the Integrated Law & Justice Project (ILJ). At the time the action
was taken and as anticipated, the City Manager representatives that contract for law
enforcement services with the Sheri$'s Department abstained from the vote.
The recommendation'of the City Managers Association ( OCCMA) is based upon
many months of evaluation of the work of the ILJ Steering Committee to
implement the Initiatives identified in the Strategic Plan completed with
participation from the entire Criminal Justice System in Orange County and
endorsed by all involved The most recut data -sharing Initiative (known as
COPLINK) was demonstrated for the OCCMA at our September Meeting. This
very sophisticated system will allow for the availability and integration of Criminal
Justice data Countywide at the patrol officer and investigator level. Information
that has only been available within each jurisdiction will now be available to all
law enforcement agencies participating in the project This latest effort represents a
tremendous step forward by making investigative lead information readily available
to all law enforcement personnel almost instantaneously.
The on -going work of the Integrated Law & Justice Project has been endorsed by
the Orange County Police Chiefs and Sheriff's Association and has been led by the
Newport Beach Police Chicly Bob McDo hell, who has served as Chair of the
Project Steering Committee for approximately seven years. The City Managers
endorsing the JPA have determined that the time for establishing a formal
governance model has come, based upon the fact that a number of the projects
already implemented have exceeded their warranty period and others need the
strength of institutionalized governance that will insure the coordinated efforts of
all involved remain viable and improved for years to come. Additional projects
identified in the Strategic Plan are planned for implementation once the COPLINK
System is finalized.

During the recent meeting of Orange County City Managers Association, a
question arose regarding costs for operations and management of the JPA. The
attached information prepared by Deloitte Consulting is representative of the
anticipated costs. They have been developed at the most conservative level, so it is
expected that the actual costs will not exceed those identified. Two cost formulas
were provided, one without the County's participation and one with their
involvement if the Sheriff changes his position. Accordingly, the recommendation
of the Orange County City Managers Association is for each City with a municipal
police department to consider approving the JPA model so the investments already
made in this very valuable Project and systems like COPLINK, can be protected in
future years. It is our hope and understanding that the Sheriff is revaluating his
past position on the overall Project and COPLINK in particular, which could
provide a method of including the County (and therefore the Contract Cities) in this
very worthwhile effort and reducing the shared costs for everyone.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or the two lead representatives
from the City Managers Association, Tim O'Donnell, 990 -7711, or Chief Bob
McDonell, 644 -3701.
Sincerely,
Robert C. Dominguez

ORANGE COUNTY CHIEFS' & SHERIWS
LAW & JUSTICE COMMrrTEF
ORANGE COUNTY LAW $ JUSTICE SYSTEM
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
The parties to this Memorandum agree to work cooperatively to establish a
seamless integrated system of information technology and services that
maximizes the standardization of data and communications technology among
the primary community of interest: law enforcement, district attorneys, state -
funded courts, and state- funded adult and youth corrections. In addition, the
parties agree to work in a variety of ways to facilitate sharing each other's data in
an effort to improve the effectiveness of their respective agency and collectively,
the entire Orange County Criminal Justice System.
Specifically, the parties to this memorandum agree to work toward establishing a
system and/or processes which will:
1. Provide criminal justice practitioners who have a need and right to know,
with comprehensive, timely and accurate information about a suspect or
offender to include identity, criminal history and current justice status.
2. Allow criminal justice practitioners to maintain legacy databases and share
only information that has been agreed upon in advance.
3. Reduce redundant document preparation, data entry, transmission, and
storage.
4. Strive to identify and achieve common interests to enhance public safety
and due process.
5. Maintain individual privacy rights and promote appropriate access controls
and security.
6. Support the development of effective criminal justice policy in keeping with
the objectives of this project.
7. Strive for the compatibility of automated systems and processes among
the various components of the Orange County Criminal Justice System.
8. Acknowledge that each participating agency is responsible for internal
agency security for their records, technical support, etc.
9. Recognize that in order to achieve overall success, resources (personnel,
software, hardware, etc.), must be shared willingly and in some cases
unequally, as long as that cooperation does not adversely impact the
mission of the sharing agency.
10. Form a steering committee comprised of the heads of the agencies that
are a party to this agreement. Based upon the importance of the policy
implications and financial commitments which may result from the efforts
undertaken, those individuals agree to personally meet at least quarterly
(or more often ff necessary), to review the progress made and to refocus
the steering committee's energy as appropriate.
11. Appoint an alternate to the group who has the authority of the agency
head to make decisions in their absence in furtherance of the goals of
integrating the automation systems of those agencies serving the Criminal
Justice System in Orange County. The appointed alternates are
encouraged to attend all of the scheduled meetings; however, they shall
attend those sessions, which are in addition to the quarterly participation
requirement of the agency head.
12. Provide regular project updates to their respective agency staff and
managers, to ensure the agency's goals remain consistent with those of
this steering committee. Work with other members of the group to create
opportunities to provide those same updates to all Orange County Law &
Justice agendas not represented on the Steering Committee.
13. Work together to develop a formal, long -tern strategic plan to achieve a
more fully integrated justice system through the information sharing which
will occur as a result of this collaborative effort
14. Identify short-term goals and strategies to demonstrate successes at
information sharing, which will reinforce the value of this project.
15. During this interim period while the strategic planning process is
underway, commit to only considering the purchase of information
systems, which have as a predominate feature, an open architecture, so
as to facilitate the kind of infomlation sharing opportunities which are
consistent with the goals of this agreement.
16. Agree to look for and pursue creative funding opportunities to accomplish
the strategic planning process, and to form more specific consortiums if it
appears such a vehicle is necessary in order to attract State or Federal
funding for the project.
Rwind &3189
17. Amend this agreement as necessary to accomplish the goal of more fully
integrating the automation and processes, which serve the Orange County
Criminal Justice System. .
18. Consider drafting a Charter for the committee when appropriate, to include
resolving the definition of a quorum (for voting purposes), limiting the size of the
committee for efficiency's sake, and identifying the limitations of the Committee
Chairs ability to exercise signatory authority, commit funds, etc.

RMS /CMS Infoormation Sharing
COPUNK System Use Policy
10/4%2005
I. OVERVIEW of THis Poucr
a. Background: The goal of the RMS /CMS Information Sharing Project is to
enhance the effectiveness of law and justice agencies by increasing
information sharing related to criminal activities. The Orange County
Integrated Law and Justice (OCIU) agencies have assisted in the design and
implementation of a method of sharing law and justice information that
permits the electronic access to information maintained by those agencies.
The implementation of the COPLINK System serves as a solution to the
problems of inaccessible or irretrievable information as a result of disparate
information systems that lack a common platform and the difficulty in sharing
data across jurisdictional boundaries.
b. Intended Benefits: By facilitating the sharing of public safety information with
law and justice partners, OCILJ agencies can improve their responses to
community crime and enhance overall investigative capacity. The COPLINK
System provides sophisticated analytical tools that will enable authorized
users to discover links and relationships by providing consolidated data
across Orange County. This may allow them to solve previously "unsolvable'
incidents and investigate serial criminal activity.
c. PUroose of Policy: The purpose of the COPLINK System Use Policy is to
outline conditions under which the OCILJ agencies will share and use
information in the COPLINK System. By signing this policy, all COPLINK
System agencies, as well as all individuals who operate or use the COPLINK
System, agree to adhere to the guidelines specified in this policy and support
the public benefit derived from the electronic sharing of public safety
information.
d. Agency Participation: The COPLINK System is a cooperative venture of the
justice agendas in Orange County, California. Agendas can apply to
participate through the OCILJ Steering Committee by submitting a proposal
that outlines their intended use of the System, the type of data they intend to
contribute and any other information requested by OCIU. A two-thirds
majority vote of approval of the Steering Committee is required to approve an
agency's participation in the System. Once approved, the agency will
proactively cooperate with OCIU, the other participating agencies, and any
contractors working to implement and manage the system to obtain the
cooperation of their own System vendors and or maintenance contractors to
facilitate:
1. Network access and connectivity
2. Data extracts for engineering and testing purposes
3. Production extracts
4. Required modifications to their sours systems
5. Regular data updates as agreed to during the design process
6. Timely review and approval of design documents and test results

at any time by providing written notice to OCIU that they wish to withdraw
their participation. In the event that the agency wishes their data withdrawn
from the COPLINK repository as part of the termination of their participation,
the withdrawing agency is responsible for contacting the maintenance vendor
(currently Knowledge Computing Corporation) and requesting the data
removal. The withdrawing agency is responsible for the cost associated with
the removal of their data from the repository.

a. Sharing of Information: Each participating agency authorizes the release of
Information residing in their records management system to all users of the
COPLINK System as permitted by law. It is the responsibility of each agency
to specify which data points to share and any other special requirements.

maintenance vendor, and each User Agency that accesses information
through the COPLINK System shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
other User Agencies, their County or Cities, City Councils, Board of

Knowledge Computing Corporation or the accessing User Agency to
indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this
indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attorney's fees in
any action on or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall

e. Internal Audit: Each Agency's System Administrator shall conduct an internal
audit on a periodic basis to ensure information is reasonably up to date and
user queries are made for legitimate law eftmement purposes.
III. INFORMATION OWNERSHIP
a. Ownership: Individual agendas retain control of all of information they
provide through the System at all times. Each agency is responsible for
creating, updating, and deleting records in its own records management
system or database, according to its own policies. The originating agency is
solely responsible for the completeness and accuracy of its source data.
b. Unauthorized Reauests: Any request for access to information hosted in the
COPLINK System that is not authorized for viewing will be referred to the
agency that owns the information being requested. Except as required by
law, information shall not be released or made available to any unauthorized
requestor without the approval of the agency having ownership of the original
source data.
IV. UNDERSTANDING ON ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
a. Accuracy of Information: Agencies agree that the data maintained in the
COPLINK System consists of information assumed to be accurate. However,
data inaccuracies can arise for multiple reasons (e.g., entry errors,
misinterpretation, outdated data, etc). It is the responsibility of the agency
requesting or using the data to confirm the accuracy of the information with
the owning agency before taking any enforcement - related action.
b. Timeliness of Information: As a part of the System design process, each
agency determines the frequency with which their data will be refreshed in
COPLINK In addition, agencies have their own policies and speed at which
incidents are recorded in their records management systems. Since changes

or additions to data do not get updated in COPLINK on a real -time basis,
agencies recognize that information may not always be timely and relevant. It
is the responsibility of the agency requesting the data to confirm the
timeliness, and relevance of the information with the owning agency.
Additionally, a data refresh schedule will be published by the System
Administrator to enable a user to determine the potential timeliness of each
agency's data.
c. Hold Harmless: To the extent permitted by law, agencies agree to hold
information owners harmless for any information which is in the COPLINK
repository, or any action taken as a result of that data, regardless of whether
the data is accurate or not, or any time delay associated with changes,
additions, or deletions to the information contributed.
V. USERACCESS
a. Looin Application Process: Each user agency shall appoint their own agency-
specific System Administrator who is responsible for management of user
accounts at that agency. An overall Network System Administrator will also
be appointed. The user may submit a request for a login and password to
their Agency System Administrator. The agency agrees that all users shall be
current employees and be authorized to review criminal history data for
legitimate purposes. The Agency System Administrator may deny or revoke
individual access in their sole discretion.
b. Looin Assignment: Each individual user will be issued a user login and a
default password by their Agency System Administrator. Upon logging into
COPLINK for the first time, each user will change the default password to
another password. Users may also be assigned to groups that have different
access rights to the information in the system based on the level of restriction
of the information.
c. Provision of Policy: The Agency System Administrator must provide a copy of
the terms and conditions of this policy to all users when they are issued a
login ID for the system.
d. Limitations on Use of Loains: Each user must comply with the System Use
Policy guidelines. A user may not access COPLINK by using a name or
password that was assigned to another user. A user cannot give his or her
password to another person, including another user, to access the system.
e. Audit Trail: Each transaction on COPLINK is logged and an audit trail
created, which is resident on the System for a minimum of three years.
Requests for transaction logs shall be made in writing through the requestor's
chain -of- command to their Agency System Administrator.
f. Termination of Loains: Participating agendas will be responsible (through
their Agency System Administrator) for timely removal of any login accounts
as users leave the agency or as they fail to meet the requirements for access
to the System.

VI. INTENDED USE OF THE SYSTEM
a. Intended Use: Each user agrees that the use of the COPLINK System, the
information contained in it, and the networking resources provided are for
reasons related to the mission of the OCIU agencies. Users acknowledge
that the information hosted in the COPLINK System will be shared and used
for authorized purposes only as permitted by law. No user can use or share
the information for any unethical, illegal, or criminal purpose.
Mi. UNDERSTANDING ON CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION
a. Information Confidentiality: Each user agrees that information in the
COPLINK System is confidential and is not subject to public disclosure,
except as required by law. Only agency employees that have an
authenticated login and password are allowed to view and use the
information. The information will otherwise be kept confidential.
b. Internal Reauests for Information: A COPLINK System user who receives a
request from a non - authorized requestor for information in the COPLINK
System (of which they are not the originating source) shall not release that
information, but may refer the requester to the agency that is the source. A
COPLINK System user who receives a court order to release information in
the COPLINK System will immediately provide a copy of the court order to the
owner /source agency that originally provided the information and to his/her
own Agency System Administrator. The owner /source agency is responsible
for preparing a timely response to the court order or, in the event of a failure
to respond, allows the receiving agency to respond as necessary to comply
with the order. Any challenge or objection to the order is the responsibility of
the owner /source agency.
c. Confidential Records: An agency that does not want data made available
from its records management system to any COPLINK user is responsible for
ensuring that the data is not included in a data transfer to the COPLINK
System. An agency that only wants data from its records management
system to be made available to a select group of COPLINK users is
responsible for placing the appropriate restriction indicator on the underlying
data in the agency's internal records management system or database.
d. Removal or Exounaement of Records: As part of the design of an agency's
data updates, the period at which a record deletion, removal expungement or
other edit is transferred to the repository from the source system will be
defined. If an agency requires a record edited, removed, or otherwise
changed in a more timely manner, they are responsible for contacting the
maintenance contractor (currently Knowledge Computing Corporation)
directly and arranging for such a change to be manually processed to their
data.
