In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated the ridership statistics represent
the numbers for Fiscal Year 2009/10.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated that, when hours were reduced,
the fare collection and ridership numbers went down and therefore increased the subsidy per
passenger.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated the subsidy is calculated based
upon operating costs for a year minus the fare collected for that year, which results in the average
subsidy.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Ms. Fernandez stated Sunday operating hours are
9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated revenue hours are hours that all
the buses are actually operating.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated the cost for Sunday service is
approximately $1,000 and the cost for Saturday service is approximately $2,000.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated the cost for Sunday service is
approximately $1,000 for 90 passengers.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hitchcock, Ms. Fernandez stated there was not a trend of
Continued August 24, 2010
popular hours for Saturday service and currently the Saturday service runs from 7:45 a.m. to
3:09 p.m.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated the minor modifications are
proposed to start on September 7 unless the City Council directs otherwise.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated staff has not looked into the
school district paying toward providing the bus service in light of the amount of student ridership.
Ms. Fernandez stated the City of Stockton may have such a program between the City and the
Stockton Unified School District and staff will research and bring back to Council additional
information regarding the same.
In response to Myrna Wetzel, Ms. Fernandez stated the new fare box card does not work like a
debit card.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated staff has received the majority of
equipment for the new fare boxes and installation is ready to begin.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated the route modification will add a
stop for Lodi Memorial Hospital, which will take riders to the back side of the hospital as
requested.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated 32 people participated in
the public meetings. She stated sufficient notice was provided in English and Spanish through
newspaper publications and flyer distribution.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Ms. Fernandez stated there have been arrests in the
parking garage over the last few months.
In response to Myrna Wetzel, Ms. Fernandez stated the arrests occurred at all different hours.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated security was on duty when the ten
thefts occurred in April, May, and June.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hitchcock, Ms. Fernandez stated staff would need to check
with the Police Department regarding specific incident details but word is out that violators can be
arrested in the parking structure.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated it is expected that the grant
funds for the security cameras will be received soon. She stated the security company can
manage and monitor the security cameras once installed.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Ms. Fernandez stated security cameras will not be
installed at the small lot because it is not a transit facility.
Jason Oringer of SEW spoke of his concerns regarding the Securitas company and training of
employees. In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Oringer stated Securitas employees are
non -unionized and SEIU comes from a labor perspective and would like to see industry standards
for security training raised.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Jim Beltz, representing Securitas, provided an overview
of the hiring and training process for employees. Mr. Beltz stated the current site supervisor has
been on location since 2004 and has recently asked to be transferred based on the recent media
attention.
N
Continued August 24, 2010
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Beltz stated Securitas has implemented the use of
bicycles and increased the number of officers on duty to address the recent security concerns at
the parking structure. He stated officers do follow-up as necessary and sometimes ask for
identification depending upon the situation.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Beltz stated in two years of managing the account
this is the first time he is having challenges with this site and affirmative steps have been taken to
address the concerns.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Beltz stated Securitas employs approximately 800
people in Lodi, Stockton, and Modesto.
In response to Council Member Johnson, Mr. Beltz stated Securitas has experience in operating
and managing security cameras as a number of their existing clients have security cameras.
Mr. Beltz stated Securitas has added to the foot patrol additional officers and bicycles to address
recent concerns.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Beltz stated the company has onsite and national
communication centers, provides services in hospitals, and monitoring will be onsite for the
parking structure. Ms. Fernandez stated staff is researching options for onsite monitoring by
looking at other local agencies and how they address similar concerns.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Hitchcock, Mr. Beltz stated golf carts are expensive and there
is no place to park. Mr. Beltz stated he believes the concerns will be addressed with the
implementation of bicycle patrol and additional officers onsite.

Lodi, CA 95240
Delivered by hand
I am writing to raise issues of contractor responsiveness and responsibility regarding
Lodi's private security contractor, Securitas Security Services, USA.
As you know, Securitas provides security officers to guard Lodi Station and Parking
Structure under a three year contract approved as Resolution No. 2007-166 in August
2007. I understand that there has been a rash of automotive burglaries in City lots
along with other criminal activity. You should know that Securitas has cut corners
which negatively impacted other public clients and workers in ways that undermineithe
quality of service. Indeed many cities have developed responsibility and
responsiveness contractor screening to avoid just such a situation. Securitas has been
accused of violating a variety of local, state and federal laws, for example:
California Wage and Hour Violations: In 2009, Securitas agreed to a $15
million settlement for meal and rest violations on behalf of California-based
security guards.' According to the complaint filed against Securitas by a
class of current and former employees, Securitas knowingly and willingly
prevented those identified class members and potentially thousands others
from having break and lunch periods guaranteed to them under California
state law. The complaint suggests the purpose of this prevention was so that
Securitas could maintain its competitive advantage by underbidding their
competition?
City of Sacramento Breach of Contract Suit and Living Wage
Investigation: In September 2007, Sacramento city leaders and union
officials charged Securitas with violating Sacramento'sliving wage
ordinance. The company provided guards at Sacramento's City Hall,
Community Convention Center and other municipal buildings. Vice Mayor
Kevin McCarty noted, "(Securitas) should be paying employees a fair,
living wage. It's embarrassing for the city when one of our contractors right
under our nose is not living up to the policy." 3 In 2008, City chose to award
its contract to another bidder after reviewing Securitas' compliance with
living wage and responsible contractor laws. In December 2008, the City
sued Securitas for breach CE contractfo r multiple issues including damage
at Cityparking lots.4
Improper or Inadequate Training: Securitas has been named in multiple
lawsuits charging the company with negligence or failure to properly train
and screen employees.
• Sexual Harassment and Discrimination: Securitas has faced numerous
charges of sexual harassment and gender discrimination by employees. In
the past two years alone, Securitas has been forced to settle five federal
cases alleging sexual harassment.

Contractor Liability and the State of California
Contractors' lack of responsibility can have direct monetary and operations implications
for government entities. When a private security firm is sued by an employee for
discrimination or wage and hour violations, many times the government agency
contracting the work is named in the suit. In one discrimination case, the Justice
Department was the remaining defendant after a private security company contracting for
the Department filed for bankruptcy. The j ury issued a verdict of $257,000 in favor of the
plaintiff and the judge ruled to uphold the verdict after the Justice Department requested a
directed verdict. Citing the Justice Department's function as a j oint employer, the court
ordered the government to pay the plaintiff. After appealing the ruling, the Justice
Department reached a settlement with the plaintiff. The parties agreed to dismiss the case
and appeal.5
In another case, the County of Los Angeles contracted for many years with security
contractor International Services (ISI), which had record of numerous and repeated
federal wage and hour violations, which led to federal debarment.6 The County was
plunged into crisis in 2009 when the ISI stopped paying County officers and declared
bankruptcy after its principals were arrested on charges of conspiracy, grand theft,
making false statements and insurance fraud.? While most guards showed incredible
dedication by continuing to work despite not being paid, after 5 weeks without pay some
officers abandoned post, exposing the County to potential security lapses. The County
also faced financial liability when over 100 officers filed claims against the County for
unpaid wages for the time they protected County facilities without pay. As of mid -2010,
the County has offered financial settlements to most of those officers.
We urge you to examine Securitas' record of responsiveness and responsibility closely
before awarding additional contracts to this company.

questions you may have.

Security Firm Hit by Allegation on Living Wage Law
By Darrell Smith
BEE STAFF WRITER
Securitas USA, the private firm that provides
security guards at Sacramento's City Hall,
the Community Convention Center and other
municipal buildings, is violating
Sacramento's living wage ordinance, a group
of city leaders and union officials alleged
Tuesday.
"It's wrong. (Securitas) should be paying
employees a fair, living wage," Vice Mayor
Kevin McCarty said at City Hall. "It's
embarrassing for the city when one of our
contractors right under our nose is not living
up to the policy."
He was joined by Securitas employees,
officials of Service Employees International
Union Local 24 and Councilwoman Bonnie
Pannell, who said many Securitas employees
reside in her south Sacramento district.
"We have to correct it. We have to take
action as a council as an example to the
region," Pannell said.
The city's living wage pact, approved amid
controversy in 2003, mandates that city
contractors pay their employees at least $10
an hour plus health insurance costs or
$11.50 without a health care contribution.
Among the employees who are filing wage
and benefits complaints against Securitas is
Sacramentan Diane White. The 49 -year-old
former resident of Louisiana, who said she
was displaced by Hurricane Katrina, moved
into her sister's Sacramento home and found
a job last year with Securitas.
She earns $10.60 an hour as a security
guard at the city's Southgate library, but
said she did not know until a May doctor's
SacramentoBee (9/19/07)
visit that she did not have health insurance.
Medi -Cal takes care of her medical needs
until she can receive employer -supplied
insurance.
"Securitas is supposed to be paying
(insurance)," White said. "The only thing 1
ask is that they secure me like Isecure their
clients. They need to look out for their
security guards."
Union officials want the city to investigate
the charges, saying the firm's 100 affected
employees could each be entitled to nearly
$1,700 in back pay.
"We expect that the city will conduct an
investigation. We expect that they will make
these employees whole," said SEIU
spokeswoman Deirdre Lehn.
Securitas officials in Sacramento say the
tempest is a non -issue, accusing the SEIU of
using Sacramento as leverage in ongoing
contract negotiations with Securitas in the
Bay Area.
The firm's previous five-year contract with
Sacramento, approved in 2002, had no
health insurance requirement because it was
signed before the living wage provisions
went into effect, said Securitas area vice
president Pete Niles. He said insurance and
living wage provisions are contained in a
temporary, six-month contract signed in late
August.
The six-month extension gives Sacramento
officials more time to develop a new contract
proposal, according to Reina Schwartz,
director of the city's general services
department.
1
Under living wage law, firms under city
contract or that receive city funding must
pay their workers a wage high enough to
support a family above the federal poverty
line, now at $20,650 annually for a family of
four.
Advocates say a living wage helps the
working poor afford housing and child care.
Opponents, including the National Federation
of Independent Businesses, say the
ordinances push out competition, artificially
drive up wages and contribute to a confusing
climate for employers.
"They vary from locality to locality and it
creates a confusing mish-mash of varying
ordinances across the state," said Michael
Shaw, the business federation's assistant
state director. "Government interference
doesn't really help businesses compete in
the marketplace."
