COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution to Overfill the Full -Time Property and Evidence Clerk Position and
appropriate funds in the amount of $35,080.
MEETING DATE: February 15, 2023
PREPARED BY: Chief of Police
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution to Overfill the Full -Time Property and Evidence Clerk
Position and Appropriate Funds in the Amount of $35,080.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi Police Department has currently budgeted for one full-time
and one part-time Property Clerk to work in the Property and Evidence
Department. These clerks manage all property and evidence entering and
exiting custody of the police department. They manage the chain of custody and conduct releases to the public,
District Attorney's Office, laboratories, and other local law enforcement agencies.
In August 2022, a second clerk was hired to train alongside the current clerk. The training is extensive and
requires knowledge of proper safety practices around drugs, firearms, biological hazards, booking procedures,
destruction and release of property, physical storage procedures, and legal requirements of maintaining a law
enforcement property room. This training was further lengthened due to changes to the department's CAS/RMS
system. The department requests approval to retain the second full-time clerk until June 30, 2023.
In addition to this training, the temporary dual staffing has allowed the department to begin clearing out a backlog
of firearms ready for disposal. The additional clerk is working with staff to conduct an internal POST audit of our
policies and procedures and to review the storage of sexual assault evidence to ensure their speedy processing.
In addition, this temporary overstaffing allows the department to complete several smaller projects within the
evidence room without impacting regular service. All projects are anticipated to conclude by June 2023. This
added staffing comes at an additional cost of $35,080 from January 1, 2023 — June 30, 2023. Funds will be
appropriated from the Support Services Part-time Salary account (10031004.71003), resulting in enough funds
to cover this temporary staffing assignment.
