These projects comply with California’s requirements to “advance <br />public safety” related to the use of these funds. <br />Equipment Funding <br />1. $25,000 to purchase technology that will aid in the re-design of the new Crime and <br />Intelligence Unit. <br />$25,000 Equipment-related appropriation requested <br />Community Engagement <br />1. $20,000 to fund community engagement activities with community partners like PilotCity <br />and the Social Hackathon project, the “With a Cop” events, and other community focus <br />groups and outreach events held annually that do not currently have General Fund <br />appropriations; these events facilitate dialogue with the community on how to advance the <br />City Council’s goals of growing community partnerships and providing quality public safety. <br />$20,000 Community engagement appropriation requested <br />Analysis <br />This appropriation of funds will supply sworn police officers with the equipment, supplies, and <br />services necessary for advancing public safety within San Leandro. Such funds are not currently <br />budgeted in the General Fund operating budget of the Police Department in Fiscal Year 2017-18. <br />The Police Department has until June 30, 2018 to replace the Automated License Plate Readers <br />(ALPR). At that time, the warranties will expire. Staff will recycle those parts that can be salvaged <br />for new systems (e.g. any cameras, camera lenses, housing, etc.), but the operating system will <br />require an upgrade. This investment constitutes a needed upgrade - but not an expansion - of the <br />Department’s ALPR infrastructure. <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/10/2017 <br />66
