County
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Background Investigation and Polygraph Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner or his designee to execute a contract amendment on
behalf of the County with Cynthia Kirby for Background investigation and Polygraph services for the
period December 16,2000-June 16,2001, increasing the contract by$31,000 to a new total of$62,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE. Funding for background investigation and polygraph services is available in the budget for fiscal
year 2000/01.
BACKGROUND:
The Sheriffs Office is responsible for conducting a thorough applicant screening process for selected
job classes that include Background Investigations and polygraph tests. Our recent recruitment efforts
have generated a substantial number of applicants who are required to go through the screening
process; however our current staffing level is unable to complete the necessary steps in a timely fashion.
The contractor has the licensing and experience necessary to provide these services.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the applicant screening process is not performed on a timely basis, the Sheriff s's Office risks losing
good staff to competing employers.

SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to contract with
Ms. Elaine Burres (#21-474-2) in the amount of$77,000 for technical and consultation services to the
Contracts and Grants Unit, for the period from December 1, 2000 through November 30, 2001.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Budgeted by Employment and Human Services Department as administrative support activities, funded
20% County, 8010 State and Federal.
BACKGROUND:
The complexity of inter-and intra-agency services agreements, contracts,memoranda of understanding, grants
and proposals, and program design and implementation models generated by these written agreements,requires
extensive expertise in the integrated processes of contract and program development.
As the Department continues to expand the delivery of support services and maintain the high quality of those
services,the public bid process is vital in identifying agencies with the expertise and dedication to deliver
effective support services. The procedures of the public bid process must be understood and monitored to
insure the integrity of the process and to determine the bid respondent most qualified to deliver the proposed
support services.
An understanding of the community is necessary as the Department provides fiscal and contracting support staff
to the Family and Children's Trust Committee and a liaison to new programs developed collaboratively with
community based organizations and/or public agencies, such as,the Afterschool Learning and Safe
Neighborhoods Partnership Program(s).
Ms. Burres will provide technical,consultation and administrative services to the Contracts and Grants Unit in a
wide variety of areas and act as liaison to collaborative projects.
