DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes contract psychologists to provide pre- employment screenings, employee support and counseling, critical incident counseling, training, and SWAT consultation. On October 4, 2022, the City Council authorized a new agreement with The Counseling Team International (TCTI) to provide law enforcement psychological services for a three year period. TCTI was one of three selected consultants to provide these services. After the approval of the agreement, the Police Department became aware of past -due invoices totaling $6,145 for services rendered by TCTI under the previous agreement that expired on September 30, 2022. Due to insufficient contract authority remaining on the now expired agreement, the Department is unable to compensate TCTI for past services rendered. Therefore, this amendment is necessary to increase the total not -to - exceed amount from $78,000 to $84,145 and add language to include these outstanding invoices. FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $6,145 for this amendment are available in the Human Resources, Contract Services account (no. 01114402-62300).
