TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: KING DAVIS, CHIEF OF POLICE
VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER
DATE: MARCH 3, 2003
SUBJECT: INCREASE OF $20,000 TO THE BLANKET PURCHASE ORDER WITH
CITRUS SUPERIOR COURT DUE TO INCREASED SURCHARGE COSTS FOR
PROCESSING TRAFFIC CITATIONS FOR A NEW PURCHASE ORDER TOTAL
OF $42,000.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve an increase of $20,000.00 to the
blanket purchase order with Citrus Superior Court due to increased surcharge costs
for processing traffic citations for a new purchase order total of $42,000.
BACKGROUND
Local law enforcement agencies are required to reimburse Citrus Superior Court for
the cost of processing traffic violations. Purchase Order No. 310711 is issued by the
City to cover these payments. Specifically, Government Code Sections 76000 et al.
mandate collection of these surcharges for Courthouse Construction & Criminal
Justice Facilities, Equipment & Registration Violations and Linkage Assessments
(handicapped violations).
Last year the City of Azusa collected $330,000 from parking citation/motor vehicle
fines. This year we are projecting revenue of $421,000 due to increased emphasis on
traffic enforcement. Because the number of violations processed by the Court has
increased, the mandatory surcharges have also increased, necessitating an increase in
the current blanket purchase order.
FISCAL IMPACT
This payment is a mandated surcharge from Citrus Superior Court and will be
deducted from revenue account #10-20-310-000-4301. The 02/03 Public Safety
Operating. Budget will not be impacted.
