In the <br />maximum-security areas of the jail, the system allows staff to monitor and <br />record incidents. The State of California requires that surveillance video <br />recordings undertaken in a public facility be stored on-site for one year. <br />Therefore, $40,000 of this year's renewal is to purchase enhanced storage <br />capacity. The remaining amount is for maintenance parts and materials. <br />On March 3, 2008, the City Council awarded a contract to Merjan Enterprises <br />In., dba/Save On Video for a one-year period with provision for two, one- <br />year renewals. The vendor has agreed to renew the contract. The vendor has <br />performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and staff <br />recommends the first renewal of the contract. <br />22H-1 <br />
