available funding for FY 15-16. The second year of funding is subject to
the discretion of the City Manager and contingent upon available funds,

that were most responsive. Nine agencies representing 12 programs are
being recommended for funding.

that the Council, by resolution: 1) Adopt the funding recommendations of
the Grant Review Team for Cycle VIII of the CHOICE grant program for

BACKGROUND: City Charter Section 15 requires the Council to select
one of its member as Mayor at the meeting at which Council members
are installed following a general or special municipal election or when

not establish a procedure for election of Mayor in the event there is no

presiding officer present to call for nominations. This situation arose
following the installation of newly-elected Council members on December
2, 2014. At that meeting, the Council voted to authorize the City Clerk to
conduct the election for Mayor and accept nominations by a random
draw of names.
On June 2, 2015, the Council directed staff to bring forward proposed
written protocols for the election of Mayor in the event there is no sitting
Mayor or Vice Mayor to conduct the election.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Clerk that the
Council, by motion, (1) establish protocols for the election of Mayor; and
(2) direct the City Clerk to incorporate the protocols into the Council’s
Manual of Protocols and Procedures for approval by the City Council.

City Council AUGUST 18, 2015
Chapter 3-08.160, from VieVu, LLC, Seattle, Washington is not to exceed
$101,900.
The Police Department utilizes VeriPic, Inc., Digital Evidence
Management Software (“DEMS”) to manage electronic files associated
with evidence including suspect interviews. The Police Department also
intends to use the software for the storage and management of files
associated with BWCs. Since the DEMS was originally purchased from
Kwan Engineering Inc. dba VeriPic, Inc. for the interview rooms, VeriPic
has introduced new functionality that improves download speed and file
management capabilities. In order to access the improved features to
benefit the BWC program, the Police Department must purchase
individual licenses for staff. In order to do so, an amendment to Contract
F000898 with Kwan Software Engineering, Inc. dba VeriPic, Inc., Santa
Clara, CA for an additional software module along with maintenance and
support in the amount of $278,656 for a total contract amount not to
exceed $536,488.60 is needed. Annual software licensing fees of
$41,914 will be required and paid from the Police Department’s operating
budget in subsequent years.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance and Police
Departments that the Council, by motion, approve the following: 1) the
piggyback purchase of body worn video cameras (BWCs) and
accessories, in accordance with City Code, Chapter 3-08.160, from
VieVu, LLC, Seattle, Washington in an amount not to exceed $101,900,
utilizing the County of Riverside RFP #SHARC-245, Contract #
SHARC-84067-001-7/15; and 2) the First Amendment to Contract
F000898 with Kwan Software Engineering, Inc. dba VeriPic, Inc., Santa
Clara, CA for an additional software module along with maintenance and
support in the amount of $278,656 for a total contract amount not to
