FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR
County Administrator
DATE: February 13, 1990
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF USE OF DUI SETTLEMENT FUNDS FOR INSTALLATION OF AN ALL COUNTY
JUSTICE INFORMATION NETWORK
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve the use of the funds reserved pursuant to the settlement agreement
between the cities of Contra Costa County and the County of Contra Costa
regarding the DUI lawsuit for the installation of an All County Criminal Justice
Information Network (ACCJIN) .
2. Authorize the Director of Justice System Programs to execute contracts relating
to the installation of this network.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total amount of the network installation is to be funded by a lease purchase with
payments for the lease to come from the $1,000,000 set aside as part of the settlement
from the DUI lawsuit plus the deposits made by agencies participating in the network
but not covered by the DUI settlement agreement.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The cities of Contra Costa County and the County of Contra Costa have a need to
connect their various computer systems electronically. When this network is in place,
the agencies would be able to eliminate redundant data entry by use of file transfer
of citation information, increase information flow for identification of offenders,
increase the exchange of information regarding court activities to reduce officer
overtime, and allow for automatic transfer of arrest information to central files for
future reporting to the State.
The cities of Contra Costa County and the County of Contra Costa, effective
June 24, 1988, agreed to settle the Antioch et al. vs Contra Costa County et al.
lawsuit concerning the distribution of "Driving Under the Influence" fines and
forfeitures. Section 15. of that agreement provides for Criminal Justice Automation
projects to be funded from a fund of $1,000,000 when 2/3 of the Cities and the County
agree on the specifics of the project and related matters. This agreement must be
reached within two years of June 24, 1988. The Justice Automation Advisory Committee
(JAAC) of Contra Costa County and the Contra Costa County Police Chiefs' Association
have recommended the development and installation of an All County Criminal Justice
Information Network (ACCJIN) .

for Installation of an All County

February 13, 1990
A request for proposal for such a system was released pursuant to Contra Costa County
purchasing policies and six (6) responses were received. At least one (1) of the
vendors is capable of meeting the RFP within budget and the completion of this project
will provide Contra Costa County with a state of the art Criminal Justice Computer to
Computer Network with terminal emulation and data transfer.
Two-thirds (2/3) of the Cities of Contra Costa County have passed resolutions
approving the use of the settlement funds for this network. A vendor has been
selected and lease financing is being arranged.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to act would mean continued duplication of work as information is passed from
one agency to another, inability to report arrest to disposition information to the
state without a lot of duplicate data entry by County personnel, and return of these
DUI settlement funds to the Cities when the two-year time period has lapsed.
