'04•T01 STAFF REPORT
POLICE DEPARTMENT
DATE: August 18, 1998
TO: William R. Kelly, City Manager
FROM: Ronnie D. Garner, Assistant City Manager hief of Police 4 By: Nancy Chik, Management Analys
SUBJECT: Report and Recommendation to Authorize the Police Department to Fill Three
Police Officer Positions and One Records Clerk Position.
SUMMARY
The Police Department currently has three vacant police officer positions and one records clerk
position. All four positions have been budgeted in FY 1998 -1999, and staff requests
authorization to fill the vacancies.
DISCUSSION
Over the past several months, three police officer positions have become vacant as result of two
resignations and one retirement. In mid- August, a records clerk resigned to accept a position
with another agency.
Police Officer
The hiring process for police officers is long and involved. After a recruitment process,
candidates undergo a series of tests including a written test, an oral board examination, a physical
agility test, a polygraph test, a psychological examination, a medical examination, and a
background investigation. The testing process takes several months.
Our personnel rules and federal law require that we make a conditional offer of employment to
prospective employees. This conditional offer means that we will appoint the candidate to a
vacant position, if the candidate successfully completes the testing, background, and training
process.
Candidates who successfully pass the testing process are hired as law enforcement recruits (a
temporary position without benefits) and enrolled in the Rio Hondo Police Academy basic course.
After 18 weeks of intensive training at the academy, our law enforcement recruits graduate
prepared to begin their careers as police officers.
There are currently several candidates in contention for the vacant positions.
LASER IMAGED
Records Clerk
The Records Bureau is the informational hub of the Police Department, and records clerks
provide clerical support in the section. The clerks work three different shifts in order to provide
24 -hour a day coverage to handle report processing, records information requests, and computer
data input.
CONCLUSION
In order to maintain the quality of life in the community and to fulfill the Department's objectives,
appropriate staff must be in place. Therefore, it is essential that the four vacancies mentioned be
filled.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. The positions have been approved in the current budget.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council move to authorize the hiring of three police officers
and one records clerk to fill the vacant positions.

MAINTENANCE SERVICES DEPARTMENT
August 18, 1998
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PAT MALLOY, MAINTENANCE SERVICES DIRECTOR /_/�
PREPARED BY: BRYAN E. BOESKIN, MANAGEMENT ANALYST
REVIEWED BY: CAROL PRZYBYCIEN, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO FILL THE
POSITIONS OF STREET SUPERINTENDENT (1) , PUBLIC WORKS
FOREMAN (2), MAINTENANCE WORKERS (3) AND OTHER POSSIBLE
VACANCIES IN THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY
The Maintenance Services Department is requesting authorization to fill six full -time positions;
Street Superintendent (1) , Public Works Foreman (2), one in the Street Sweeping Unit and one in
the Greenscape Unit and Maintenance Worker (3) in the Water Distribution Unit. Staff is also
requesting that the City Council authorize the Maintenance Services Director to fill vacancies that
may result from possible internal promotions related to this recruitment.
All positions discussed are fully funded through appropriations in the 1998/99 Operating Budget.
The Maintenance Worker positions are wholly funded through the Water Enterprise Fund.
DISCUSSION
For the last four years, the Maintenance Service Department has continued to restructure and
reorganize to maintain optimum levels of service while responding to increasingly rigorous fiscal
constraints. The Department has reduced its staffing level from 73 full -time employees (FTE) in
1994 to the present level of 55 FTE. The loss of 18 employees in a span of four years represents a
25 percent reduction in the original workforce. Beyond permanent reductions in staffing, the
Department has attempted to further reduce operational costs by consolidation of various positions
and leaving existing positions vacant for an extended time to monitor whether the position is in fact
critical to department operations.
Based on staff's ongoing evaluation of department output and efficiency, it has been determined
that the current work force has reached a critical level. Any further reductions will result in
diminishing returns with respect to operational productivity and level of service provided to the
community. Staff has concluded that leaving positions within the department vacant results in
constant shuffling of the remaining employees to perform duties and functions that they may not
be completely familiar with. It further necessitates that affected employees neglect some of the
duties of their own position in order to fulfill critical tasks associated wit o.iA Ro��ns. The net
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
August 18, 1998

result of these factors is an overall decrease in department productivity and employee morale. The
pressure of decreased staffing is also compounded by the fact that the Department is continually
assigned with new duties, tasks and unscheduled projects (such as tree removals and special requests
for unscheduled services) which ultimately reduce the Departments ability to carry out routine
maintenance functions.
The Department has recently experienced several position vacancies resulting from employee
departures and internal promotions. Staff is requesting consideration and City Council approval of
each item listed below. Current job descriptions for each position discussed are attached. The
following items are being presented for City Council consideration:
1) Street Superintendent
This position was vacated when the incumbent accepted a position with another agency.
This position is a key management position within the Maintenance Services Department
that is responsible for the oversight of a $2.3 million dollar operating budget and supervision
of 20 employees. The primary duties of this position includes planning, organizing and
directing the maintenance and operations of all City Streets, public right -of —ways and sewer
system. The position is responsible for coordination of the following key functions; concrete
and asphalt repair, traffic safety, street sweeping, greenscape maintenance, and sewer
maintenance.
2) Fill Public Works Foreman — Greenscape Unit (1) Vacancy
This position was vacated when the incumbent requested to voluntarily step down to the
position of Equipment Operator. This position is responsible for the first line supervision of
the Greenscape Unit. The Foreman position is directly accountable for establishing technical
procedures, work standards and field level quality control of greenscape maintenance
functions.
3) Fill Public Works Foreman — Street Sweeping Unit (1) Vacancy
This position was recently vacated through retirement of the incumbent Public Works
Foreman. This is a critical supervisory position due to the fact that the street sweeping crews
work hours prior to the arrival of any other supervisory and managerial staff. This position
is a working foreman that is directly responsible for ensuring that several thousand curb
miles of street are cleaned each year. The foreman position also coordinates all corollary
crew activities such as special events clean-ups, traffic accident clean-ups and City Facilities
parking lot clean-up. The foreman position also assists in the coordination of the street
sweeping function with other key functions such as refuse collection and capital projects.
This is a high visibility position that has significant interaction with the community.
v
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
August 18, 1998
PAGE 3
4) Fill Maintenance Worker (3) — Water Distribution Unit Vacancies
These three positions have all been vacated through internal promotions to other units within
the department. This results in the staff level in the Distribution Unit being reduced by
approximately one - third. During the last five years, new water service installations have
significantly increased. Approximately 80 new water services or upgrades are currently be
requested each year. The flurry of new service installation requests coupled with main and
service line repairs have essentially diverted Distribution crews from their primary function
of maintaining and repairing the water facilities and distribution infrastructure.
The staffing situation in this section is even more critical considering that the Department
recently began a Valve Exercising /Mainline Flushing Program and was also recently
reassigned to the Fire Hydrant Exercising and Maintenance Program. The Valve Exercising
Program will ensure that nearly 4,000 miles of mainline and fire hydrant shut —off valves are
fully serviceable in the event of an emergency. The Fire Hydrant Exercising and
Maintenance Program has recently been reassigned to the Maintenance Services Department
from the Fire Department. This program also serves to ensure that all fire hydrants in the
City are serviceable in the event of an emergency. These three Maintenance Worker positions
will be primarily responsible for the day -to -day operations of these programs.
5) Provide Authorization to Fill Vacancies if Filled by Internal Promotions
Due to the fact that two of the pending vacancies are classes in a promotional series, if these
positions are filled internally the subordinate positions would be vacated. Staff is requesting
that the Maintenance Services Director be authorized to fill these two possible vacancies
should they occur. It is proposed that the Director's authority will only be extended to
include these two positions which meet the following criteria: 1) the positions will be filled
through an open recruitment; 2) the positions will not negatively impact the Department's
General Fund Expenditures; and 3) the positions will not result in changes to the existing job
descriptions or the Department's organizational structure.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for all proposed position changes have been appropriated in the 1998/99 Operating Budget.
The Maintenance Worker positions are funded wholly through the Water Enterprise Fund and will
have no fiscal impact on General Fund Expenditures.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to:
1. Fill the positions of: Street Superintendent Public Works Foreman - Greenscape
Unit, Public Works Foreman- Street Sweeping Unit and three (3) Maintenance
Workers in the Water Distribution Unit.
2. Fill two other possible vacancies in the Maintenance Services Department.
These positions will not negatively impact the Department's General Fund
Expenditures and they will not result in changes to the existing job descriptions
or the Department's organizational structure.

SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO PIGGY -BACK PURCHASE ONE (1)
1998 FORD RANGER SUPER CAB '/2 TON REAR WHEEL DRIVE PICK -UP
TRUCK WITH RIGHT SIDE STEERING ASSEMBLY FOR THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT WITH THE CITY OF MONROVIA FROM ROBERT H. LOUD
FORD FOR $16,446.40 AND ADVANCED CONCEPTS AND DESIGN INC., FOR
$4,560.00 FOR A TOTAL COST OF $21,006.40
SUMMARY
It is recommended that the City Council award a purchase contract for one (1) 1998 Ford Ranger
Super Cab '/2 Ton Pick -Up Truck to Robert H. Loud Ford in the amount of $16,446.40 and a
purchase contract for the installation of a right side vehicle steering assembly to Advanced Concepts
and Designs Inc., in the amount of $4,560.00. The total contract cost for this vehicle purchase is
$21,006.40. Funds in the amount of $22,000.00 have been budgeted in the Equipment Replacement
Fund in Fiscal Year 1998 -99 for this acquisition.
DISCUSSION
One (1) 1998 Ford Ranger 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck with Right Side Steering Assembly will be used
to replace one (1) 1988 Dodge Pick -Up Truck (Asset 960018). This vehicle will be used primarily
for parking enforcement. This truck is a high- mileage vehicle over ten years old and is in marginal
condition requiring frequent service and repair. Current maintenance costs for this vehicle is
excessive and merits replacement.
Staff has investigated the possibility of "piggy- backing" with another municipality for the purchase
of a Pick -Up Truck with specifications equal to or greater than the City of Arcadia's. The City of
Monrovia, in cooperation with Robert H. Loud Ford, has authorized the City to piggy -back on their
purchase order.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Ronnie D. Garner, Assistant City Manager /Chief of Police
By: Janice Cumming, Police Records Manager
Subject: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE AND ADOPT
RESOLUTION NO. 6066 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE
DESTRUCTION OF CERTAIN POLICE DEPARTMENT RECORDS
Summary:
The Police Department is responsible for maintaining those records, reports, and /or
documents which are generated in the course of business. Prior to this resolution, the
most recent records destruction request from our Department was made in January,
1993. That request listed only a few specific documents and did not encompass an
overall purge of obsolete records. In accordance with Government Code Section
34090, specified documents over the age of two years may be destroyed so long as
they do not fall within the prescribed exclusions as set forth in that section.
The Department is, therefore, recommending the City Council adopt Resolution
Number 6066 to authorize the destruction of records as authorized by law.
Discussion:
It has been the practice of the Department to microfilm all crime activity reports and
arrests reports. In 1993 this method of information- retention was replaced by the
scanning of original documents onto optical disks. Documents stored on optical disks
are accepted under the law as "original" records. Requests for the reproduction of
routine crime activity reports which occurred more than five years ago are rare. On
occasion, we are required to provide arrest information, dating back beyond five years,
to other law enforcement agencies. Because we have the capability of retrieving the
necessary information from optical, we are not compelled to maintain the paper

The majority of all other documents listed in Resolution 6066 are also maintained in
other departments within the City. The records which are stored at our facility are

permanent documentation retained by our Administrative Services Department and
various California state agencies.
Because the specified documents are redundant or obsolete, there is no necessity to

SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO PIGGY -BACK PURCHASE FOUR (4)
1998 FORD CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR 4 -DOOR BLACK
AND WHITE SEDANS WITH THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES FROM ROBERT
H. LOUD FORD AT A TOTAL COST OF $94,595.40
SUMMARY
It is recommended that the City Council award a purchase contract for four (4) 1998 Ford Crown
Victoria Police Interceptor 4 -Door Sedans to Robert H. Loud Ford in the amount of $94,595.40.
Funds in the amount of $106,000 have been budgeted in the Equipment Replacement Fund in Fiscal
Year 1998 -99 for this acquisition.
DISCUSSION
The four (4) 1998 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor 4 -Door Sedans will replace two (2) 1993
Chevrolet Caprice and (2) 1994 Chevrolet Caprice police sedans. The existing cars are high- mileage
vehicles that are in marginal condition and require frequent service and repair. Current maintenance
costs for these vehicles is excessive and merit replacement.
Staff has investigated the possibility of "piggy- backing" with another larger municipality for the
purchase of Police Interceptors with specifications equal to or greater than the City of Arcadia's. The
City of Los Angeles, in cooperation with Robert H. Loud Ford, has authorized the City to "piggy-
back" on their purchase order at a significant savings to the City.
Public agencies often utilize other agencies formal bidding results (piggy- backing on the contract)
when the agreement between the agency and the vendor meets the specifications of the using agency.
Staff has determined that Robert H. Loud Ford is a qualified dealership and that the 1998 Ford
Crown Victoria meets the City's specifications.
