Memorandum of Understanding Effective June 1, 2017; Authorizing Reassignment
of Delta RATT Police Officer (Special Assignment) to Serve as a Community
Resource Police Officer (Special Assignment) to Specifically Focus on Community

Funds from Police Administration to Operations to Fund that Portion of the Officer's
Salary No Longer Funded by Delta RATT ($69,830)
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2017
PREPARED BY: Police Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution terminating Delta Regional Auto Theft Team (Delta
RATT) Memorandum of Understanding effective June 1, 2017,
authorizing reassignment of Delta RATT Police Officer (Special
Assignment) to serve as a Community Resource Police Officer (Special Assignment) to specifically focus
on community homeless issues, and authorizing appropriation of budgeted part-time salary funds from
Police Administration to Operations to fund that portion of the Officer's salary no longer funded by Delta
RATT, in the amount of $69,830.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Police Department, in a joint agreement with the Delta
Regional Auto Theft Team (Delta RATT), places one full-time officer
on a County -wide auto theft task force. Delta RATT compensates
the City of Lodi one-half of the cost of an officer up to $80,000 per year. The City has the ability to
terminate the Delta RATT Memorandum of Understanding at any time.
After discussion with City officials, City staff, and community leaders, it has become apparent that the
City of Lodi is in need of a designated Community Resource Police Officer to preemptively respond to the
needs of the homeless community. The Lodi Police Department responded to more than 2,300 calls for
service involving homeless complaints from January 2016 through March 2017.
Department representatives have met with an officer from the City of Manteca whose job functions are
identical to the concept of the proposed Community Resource Police Officer. This officer responds to
calls related to homeless complaints, builds relationships with the homeless population, manages
contacts with rehabilitation facilities, arranges appointments for hygiene and health, and maintains
connections with faith -based and non-profit organizations with resources for the homeless. The City of
Manteca officer has also had success permanently relocating homeless citizens by reconnecting them
with family members.

In order to make up for the Toss in compensation from the Delta RATT funding, the department would like
to appropriate part-time salary funds totaling $69,830 from Administration (10030001.71003) to
Operations (10032000.71001). The Police Department currently has salary savings from the vacant part-

continue to allocate the salary savings from the unfilled Administrative position to pay a portion of the
Community Resource Officer's salary in future fiscal years.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the termination of the Delta RATT Memorandum of
Understanding effective June 1, 2017, and reassign the Delta RATT Police Officer (Special Assignment)
to serve as a Community Resource Police Officer (Special Assignment) to specifically focus on
community homeless issues. Staff further recommends appropriating budgeted part-time salary funds
from Police Administration to Operations as shown on the attached Appropriation Adjustment Request
