And, if the Commission concurs, the appropriate action would be a ROLL CALL VOTE by groups of contracts to authorize the Executive Director to renew/increase Law Enforcement Training and Administrative Contracts.

This is a voting item regarding an increase to the contract approval and signing authority for the Executive Director.

POST Commission Policy Manual, section A3, and POST Policy Manual, section ASB-4, provide the Executive Director the ability to approve contracts up to $175,000. Similarly, the Executive Director may subsequently approve a contract amendment by up to $25,000 for contracts previously authorized by the Commission. These policies were last updated on February 28, 2013, when the Commission voted to increase the contract approval amount from $50,000 to $175,000, as well as the contract amendment amount from $12,500 to $25,000.

With this agenda item, POST requests authority to increase the approval level of the Executive Director's signing authority for contracts from $175,000 to $250,000. Additionally, POST requests authority to increase the existing amendment amount from $25,000, to instead be 10% of an existing contract or $25,000, whichever is higher, but not to exceed $250,000. 

If the Commission concurs, the appropriate action would be a MOTION to approve the proposed changes as described in the staff report.

The proposed changes include making updates to Regulation 1005 to repeal the Training specifications for the Investigation and Trial Preparation Course, and incorporate by reference Training Specifications for District Attorney Investigator Transition Course.
