DISCUSSION
The Police Department plays a vital role in addressing community and City Council
complaints regarding City codes and law violations. Often, these violations involve
public nuisances and activities that are detrimental to the health and safety of the
community. Security cameras enable Police Department personnel to monitor
community complaints regarding street takeovers, narcotics sales, and other chronic
public nuisances throughout the city. The ability to accurately see and record alleged
activity with security cameras allows the City to adequately address the violations
through potential criminal enforcement and prosecution and highly effective civil
abatement proceedings.
This purchase request is for four camera systems. These camera systems include
proprietary software that capture and record illegal activities. The data obtained from
these camera systems will only be used by the City of Santa Ana for enforcement
purposes. This data will not automatically be shared with other local, state, or federal
agencies.
Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-3041 authorizes the City to make non -bid purchases for
services, supplies, materials, and equipment whenever it shall appear that there is only
one reasonably available source. The security cameras and accessories are
proprietary, sole source, and sold exclusively from Sandoval Custom Creations, Inc.
Staff recommends authorizing the purchase order to Sandoval Custom Creations, Inc.
