As part of the RFP <br />process for these services, the City requested potential vendors to include options to install <br />kiosks in the Jail Lobby and Booking Area. These kiosks are to be used for all cash transactions <br />in the Jail to improve efficiency and accountability related the handling of money. The ongoing <br />cost of the kiosks will be offset by a combination of user transaction fees and a credit to the <br />revenue that is received from inmate commissary purchases. There is no upfront cost to the City <br />for these machines. <br />Additionally, due to concerns by the Jail's contracting agencies (ICE and U.S. Marshals) staff is <br />recommending that the inmate food menu be revised to eliminate all soy products and provide a <br />wider variety of foods. Aramark has provided a revised menu which meets these needs but <br />increases the cost of the meal by $0.04, or a total of $22,425 per year. This increase will be <br />offset by anticipated rate increases to the daily bed rate that is charged to the contracting <br />agencies. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds in the amount of $1,294,325 are available in the Police Department Detention Services <br />contracts account (account no. 01114475 62300). <br />4V A <br />'Carlos Rojas <br />Acting Chief of Police <br />Police Department <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Mgmt.
