DATE: JUNE 2, 2003
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION 8636 ESTALISHING ACCESS TO STATE AND LOCAL
CRIMINAL HISTORY INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYMENT, LICENSING OR
CERTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing amendment to
Resolution 8636, to enable the City to access summary criminal history information (resulting
from fingerprints) for employment to include volunteers and contract employees.
BACKGROUND
The City of Azusa utilizes the Department of Justice Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI)
system. Several City departments utilize CORI during the course of work including the Police
Department for criminal history, Community Development fro licensing and Human Resources for
pre-employment processing.
On May 14, 2003 the Department of Justice (DOJ) conducted an on-site audit of the Criminal
Offender Record Information (CORI) system. The audit was intended to provide appropriate staff
with up-to-date training and ensure general compliance related to CORI records storage, security,
destruction, dissemination, and reproduction.
The City's Resolution 8636, originally adopted in June 1989, authorized the City to access State
and Local criminal history information for employment, licensing or certification purposes. The
DOJ audit determined that this resolution must be updated to enable the City to utilize CORI for
volunteers and contract employees. Currently the resolution does not specify use of CORI for
these purposes. Therefore, an amendment to Resolution 8636 is requested at this time.
