PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the attached contract with Computer Deductions Incorporated (CDI)
in the amount of $54,236.00 from COPS Technology 2002 Grant Account

Background:
On March 9, 2004, Council approved the acceptance of approximately $1.9 million in
grant funds to administer on behalf of the Orange County Integrated Law and Justice
Project (comprised of the entire Criminal Justice System in Orange County). In that
prior communication, Council was advised that the City of Newport Beach was
requested to administer the grants for the Project by the Orange County Chiefs' and
Sheriffs Association.
During an earlier engagement, CDI completed the first version of the Automated
Subpoena Processing Application. Since the initial completion of this project a number
of enhancements and improvements have been identified to make the system more
effective and more user friendly for all the Orange County Criminal Justice Agencies.
The improvements include such items as subpoena cancellation transaction capability,
a subpoena entry screen for subpoenas from outside agencies, an officer name index,
the ability to filter and display by officer name, and an officer name index web service.
They have also been asked to provide the necessary modifications to the system in

Proposal to Add Cancellation Transactions, a Subpoena Entry Screen, and an Officer Name
Index to the ILJ Automated Subpoena Processing Application
This document describes the process for adding the following functionstenhancements to the ILJ
Automated Subpoena Processing Application:
1. Handle a new Cancellation transaction from the OCDA that will indicate that the subpoenaed
officer is unavailable for Court.
2. Create a data entry screen that will provide users with the ability to enter subpoenas into the
system.
3. Create and maintain an Officer Name Index for each agency.
4. Create a web service that will provide access to the Officer Name Index.
5. Modify the Subpoena Status Web Site to allow for filtering at the officer level.
6. Add CHP to the set of agencies that receive subpoenas through ILJ.
Subpoena Cancellation Transactions:
These transactions will be included in the nightly subpoena files that are created and sent out by the
OCDA. A new field will be added to each record that will indicate if the subpoena is new or if the
subpoena has already been issued, but that the officer will be unable to attend the hearing.
These "cancelled" subpoenas will be displayed on the ILJ Subpoena Status web site with a status of
"Will Not Attend ".
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows
Modify the ILJ subpoena processing programs to handle the new Cancellation transactions.
(Estimated time: 60 hours)
Modify the ILJ Subpoena Status web site to display the cancelled subpoenas. (Estimated
time: 20 hours)
Subpoena Entry Screen:
The Subpoena Entry Screen will be used by agency subpoena clerks to add subpoenas to the
system. These include subpoenas that are received outside of the three existing ILJ subpoena
interfaces: OC District Attorney, OC Public Defender, and OC Courts. They may include subpoenas
from Civil Cases, Defense Attorneys, DMV, and out -of- county agencies. Once these subpoenas are
entered, they will be emailed directly to the officer and then added to the agency's subpoena
database. Once they are in the database, they will be able to be viewed from the existing Subpoena
Status Web Site, as well as from a new FileMaker subpoena viewer application, assuming one is
necessary and implemented.
web: htto: / /www.cdi- ha.com • phone: 916.987.3600 • fax: 916.987.3606 • e -mail: corp @cdi- hq.com
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
• Create a web -based data entry screen for adding subpoenas. This web page will be
responsible for emailing the subpoenas as well as storing them in the database. (Estimated
time: 120 hours)
• Create new SQL Server database structures that will be used to store and maintain these
subpoenas. This will include tables and stored procedures. (Estimated time: 20 hours)
• Modify the existing ILJ Subpoena Status Web Site to display these new subpoenas. This will
include the creation of a new web page along with all of the security rules that will apply to it.
(Estimated time: 40 hours)
• Perform the following memory upgrades on the ILJ servers:
• Increase memory on both SQL Servers from 2 GB to 4 GB.
• Increase memory on both application servers from 1 GB to 4 GB.
Officer Name Index:
The Officer Name Index will contain a list of all officer names (first, middle, last, title), email
addresses, and badge numbers or IDs (whichever a particular agency uses when signing a report)
for the participating agencies. This list will be used to better identify officers during the process of
creating and emailing subpoenas.
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
Create a SQL Server database structure to store and manage the index. This includes
table(s) and stored procedures. (Estimated time: 20 hours)
• Create a program that will load the index from an officer name file that will be supplied by the
participating agencies. (Estimated time: 40 hours)
The Officer Name Files that will be supplied by each agency should have the following
format:
A comma - delimited text file with the following fields in order
• Badge /ID
• Last Name
• First Name
• Middle Name
• Title
• Email Address
(up to 10 characters)
(up to 40 characters)
(up to 40 characters)
(up to 40 characters)
(up to 20 characters)
(up to 100 characters)
For identification purposes, the name of the file should contain the name of the agency.
Example: NBPDOfficers.txt
• Create a set of screens that will allow authorized users to add, update, and delete officer
records from the Officer Name Index. (Estimated time: 80 hours)
Modify the Subpoena Status Web Site to Filter By Officer:
Modify the Subpoena Status Web Site so that authorized users will be able to display a list of all
active subpoenas for user - specified officers. This list will include all subpoenas for the officers,
regardless of which agency issued them (OCDA, Courts, Public Defender, etc.) Officers will be
selected from a new "Officer Selection Page ". This page will display a list of all officers for the
department with a checkbox next to each name. Once the desired officers have been selected, the
user will click on a "Next" button to be taken to a page that will display the list of all outstanding
subpoenas for those officers.
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
Modify the web site. (Estimated time: 40 hours)
Modify the subpoena database to allow for searching across issuing agencies. (Estimated
time: 10 hours)
Officer Name Index Web Service:
The Officer Name Index Web Service will be used to provide agencies with access to the Officer
Name Index. The data generated will be in XML format.
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
• Create the web service. (Estimated time: 40 hours)
(An additional 40 hours will be required for testing and deployment.)
Estimated time required to implement enhancements: 530 hours
Hourly Rate: $90.00
Cost of Enhancements (530 hours @ $90.00 /hr) $47,700.00
Memory Upgrade: $6,536.00
Total Cost: $54,236.00

all books, accounts, records, reports, files, financial records, supporting
documentation, including payroll and accounts payable /receivable records, and
other papers or property of CDI for the purpose of auditing or inspecting any
aspect of performance under this CONTRACT. The inspection and /or audit will be
confined to those matters connected with the performance of the CONTRACT
including, but not limited to, the costs of administering the CONTRACT. The CITY
will provide reasonable notice of such an audit or inspection. The CITY reserves

condition and obligation of this CONTRACT and that all requirements of CDI have
been fulfilled to provide such actual authority.
13. Conditions Affecting Work
CDI shall be responsible for taking all steps reasonably necessary to ascertain the
nature and location of the work to be performed under this CONTRACT and to
know the general conditions which can affect the work or the cost thereof. Any
failure by CDI to do so will not relieve CDI from responsibility for successfully
performing the work without additional cost to CITY. The CITY assumes no
responsibility for any understanding or representations concerning the nature,
location(s) or general conditions made by any of its officers or agents prior to the
execution of this CONTRACT, unless such understanding or representations by

The parties shall deal in good faith and attempt to resolve potential disputes
informally. If the dispute concerning a question of fact arising under the terms of
this CONTRACT is not disposed of in a reasonable period of time by CDI's Project
Manager and the CITY's Project Administrator, such matter shall be brought to the
attention of the ILJ Steering Committee by way of the following process:
A. CDI shall submit a written demand for a final decision regarding the
disposition of any dispute between the parties arising under, related to, or
involving this CONTRACT, unless the CITY, on its own initiative, has already
rendered such a final decision.
B. CDI's written demand shall be fully supported by factual information, and, if
such demand involves a cost adjustment to the CONTRACT, CDI shall include
with the demand a written statement signed by a senior official indicating that
the demand is made in good faith, that the supporting data are accurate and
complete, and that the amount requested accurately reflects the CONTRACT
adjustment for which CDI believes the CITY is liable.
Pending the final resolution of any dispute arising under, related to, or involving
this CONTRACT, CDI agrees to diligently proceed with the performance of this
CONTRACT, including the delivery of goods and /or provision of services. CDI's
failure to diligently proceed shall be considered a material breach of this
CONTRACT.

and shall be signed by the Chair of the ILJ Steering Committee. If the CITY fails to
render a decision within 90 days after receipt of CDI's demand, it shall be deemed
a final decision adverse to CDI's contentions. The CITY's final decision shall be
conclusive and binding regarding the dispute unless CDI commences action in a
court of competent jurisdiction to contest such decision within 90 days following the
13
date of the CITY's final decision or one year following the accrual of the cause of
action, whichever is later.
15. Notices: Any and all notices, requests demands and other communications
contemplated, called for, permitted, or required to be given hereunder shall be in
writing, except through the course of the parties' project managers' routine
exchange of information and cooperation during the terms of the work and services.

ATTACHMENT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Proposal to Add Cancellation Transactions, a Subpoena Entry Screen, and an Officer
Name Index to the ILJ Automated Subpoena Processing Application
This document describes the process for adding the following functions /enhancements to the ILJ
Automated Subpoena Processing Application:
1. Handle a new Cancellation transaction from the OCDA that will indicate that the
subpoenaed officer is unavailable for Court.
2. Create a data entry screen that will provide users with the ability to enter subpoenas into
the system.
3. Create and maintain an Officer Name Index for each agency.
4. Create a web service that will provide access to the Officer Name Index.
5. Modify the Subpoena Status Web Site to allow for filtering at the officer level.
6. Add CHP to the set of agencies that receive subpoenas through ILJ.
Subpoena Cancellation Transactions:
These transactions will be included in the nightly subpoena files that are created and sent out by
the OCDA. A new field will be added to each record that will indicate if the subpoena is new or if
the subpoena has already been issued, but that the officer will be unable to attend the hearing.
These "cancelled" subpoenas will be displayed on the ILJ Subpoena Status web site with a status
of "Will Not Attend ".
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
Modify the ILJ subpoena processing programs to handle the new Cancellation
transactions. (Estimated time: 60 hours)
Modify the ILJ Subpoena Status web site to display the cancelled subpoenas. (Estimated
time: 20 hours)
Subpoena Entry Screen:
The Subpoena Entry Screen will be used by agency subpoena clerks to add subpoenas to the
system. These include subpoenas that are received outside of the three existing ILJ subpoena
interfaces: OC District Attorney, OC Public Defender, and OC Courts. They may include
subpoenas from Civil Cases, Defense Attorneys, DMV, and out -of- county agencies. Once these
subpoenas are entered, they will be emailed directly to the officer and then added to the agency's
subpoena database. Once they are in the database, they will be able to be viewed from the
existing Subpoena Status Web Site, as well as from a new FileMaker subpoena viewer
application, assuming one is necessary and implemented.
m
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
• Create a web -based data entry screen for adding subpoenas. This web page will be
responsible for emailing the subpoenas as well as storing them in the database.
(Estimated time: 120 hours)
• Create new SQL Server database structures that will be used to store and maintain these
subpoenas. This will include tables and stored procedures. (Estimated time: 20 hours)
• Modify the existing ILJ Subpoena Status Web Site to display these new subpoenas. This
will include the creation of a new web page along with all of the security rules that will
apply to it. (Estimated time: 40 hours)
• Perform the following memory upgrades on the ILJ servers:
• Increase memory on both SQL Servers from 2 GB to 4 GB.
• Increase memory on both application servers from 1 GB to 4 GB.
Officer Name Index:
The Officer Name Index will contain a list of all officer names (first, middle, last, title), email
addresses, and badge numbers or IDs (whichever a particular agency uses when signing a
report) for the participating agencies. This list will be used to better identify officers during the
process of creating and emailing subpoenas.
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
• Create a SQL Server database structure to store and manage the index. This includes
table(s) and stored procedures. (Estimated time: 20 hours)
• Create a program that will load the index from an officer name file that will be supplied by
the participating agencies. (Estimated time: 40 hours)
The Officer Name Files that will be supplied by each agency should have the
following format:
A comma - delimited text file with the following fields in order
• Badge /ID
• Last Name
• First Name
• Middle Name
• Title
• Email Address
(up to 10 characters)
(up to 40 characters)
(up to 40 characters)
(up to 40 characters)
(up to 20 characters)
(up to 100 characters)
For identification purposes, the name of the file should contain the name of the agency.
Example: NBPDOfficers.txt
• Create a set of screens that will allow authorized users to add, update, and delete officer
records from the Officer Name Index. (Estimated time: 80 hours)
19
Modify the Subpoena Status Web Site to Filter By Officer:
Modify the Subpoena Status Web Site so that authorized users will be able to display a list of all
active subpoenas for user - specified officers. This list will include all subpoenas for the officers,
regardless of which agency issued them (OCDA, Courts, Public Defender, etc.) Officers will be
selected from a new "Officer Selection Page ". This page will display a list of all officers for the
department with a checkbox next to each name. Once the desired officers have been selected,
the user will click on a "Next" button to be taken to a page that will display the list of all
outstanding subpoenas for those officers.
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
• Modify the web site. (Estimated time: 40 hours)
• Modify the subpoena database to allow for searching across issuing agencies.
(Estimated time: 10 hours)
Officer Name Index Web Service:
The Officer Name Index Web Service will be used to provide agencies with access to the Officer
Name Index. The data generated will be in XML format.
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
• Create the web service. (Estimated time: 40 hours)
(An additional 40 hours will be required for testing and deployment.)
Estimated time required to implement enhancements: 530 hours
Hourly Rate: $90.00
Cost of Enhancements (530 hours @ $90.00 /hr) $47,700.00
Memory Upgrade: $6,536.00
Total Cost: $54,236.00

ATTACHMENT B
Functional Specification
Enhancements to the ILJ Subpoena Application
Overview:
This document outlines the Orange County ILJ Subpoena application functionality that is
under development or being reviewed for enhancement. The application includes
automated interfaces with the DA, the Public Defender and the Court.
The first section of the document addresses the functionality surrounding the DA. The
intent of this section is to document an agreed upon set of functionality and a process
flow so that any required revisions to the application can be identified and assigned a
cost.
The document goes on to address two areas of enhancement in the application. The first
is the incorporation of an officer name index. The second is the incorporation of a manual
subpoena creation screen.
DA Subpoena Functionality:
Subpoenas are generated in the District Attorney's Case Management System (DACMS). Data is
entered manually to create a subpoena. Officer names and identifiers are selected for the subpoena
from a list maintained on the DACMS.
As the subpoenas are generated, two processes occur. The DA combines the original
subpoenas into a .PDF File and emails them to each agency. Additionally, a transaction
is initiated with the ILJ server where the subpoena data is transferred. The ILJ server
populates an email form with the subpoena data and sends a duplicate subpoena to an
email address associated with the individual subpoenaed. This address can be the
individual's email address or the address of a central scheduling office at the agency
affected.
Once the subpoena is received, the person in receipt will click on the acknowledgement
hyperlink in the subpoena. Clicking the acknowledgement link updates the subpoena
database on the ILJ server to show that the subpoena has been acknowledged. The
message that will appear in the email will read, "Please click here to confirm receipt of
this message, which confirms my attendance unless specifically excused by the DA's
Office or the Court." Clicking on the hyperlink confirms that the update is complete.
While all subpoenas served by the DA on law enforcement personnel require mandatory
appearance, the date and time are subject to change and the exact time that the officer is
required during the proceeding is generally not known until just before the appearance.
Therefore all subpoenas will be denoted as having an "on call" status. This means that
the officer has to be available, throughout the duration of the proceeding to appear in
court. Personnel from the DA's office will notify the department's court liaison personnel
21
at the court in question the day of the appearance to advise them of when the officer will
be required. The court liaison staff will contact the officer, either directly or through
dispatch, to advise them of when they need to appear.
In the event that the DA's staff (when they are generating the subpoena) knows that they
want the officer to attend at a specific time, they will so indicate by contacting the liaison
or the officer directly.
Should the officer be unable to attend the event for which they are subpoenaed, they will
still acknowledge receipt of the subpoena. They will then use the manual approval
process at their agency to indicate that a conflict is present and gain approval internally
for advising the DA of the conflict and their request to be excused.
Once the DA is advised of the conflict, they have the option of:
• Enforcing the subpoena,
• Proceeding without the subpoenaed individual, or
• Requesting the Court reschedule the event.
If they chose to enforce the subpoena they will personally contact the department and
instruct them to clear the conflict and request the subpoenaed individual attend the event.
Should the Court grant a request to reschedule the event, the DA will cancel the existing
subpoenas for the particular case and re- initiate the subpoena process once the event
has been rescheduled. A subpoena cancellation will be processed by the DA. The
cancelled subpoena will be included in the nightly subpoena update transferred from
CMS to the ILJ server. A flag will be included in the file transfer that identifies the
subpoena as "New" or "Cancelled."
In the event the DA proceeds with the event without the subpoenaed individual, they will
indicate in the DACMS that the individual is not going to appear. This will also trigger the
subpoena cancellation process outlined above.
Management System
At any time, a user of the system with access to the network can connect to a web based
management information screen. Depending on their department and the location of the
computer that they are using to access the system, their data access may change
slightly. Assuming they have the appropriate user access, they will be able to display a
list of subpoenas for their department.

Database and Web Display
The database is available for view by staff from agencies as well as by staff at the DA's
office. When accessed from a specific agency site only subpoenas for that agency are
visible.
The application displays the name of the subpoenaed individual, their ID number, the
subpoena number, date, appearance time and the status as to whether the subpoena has
been acknowledged. A hyperlink will be added that will allow user to confirm attendance
from this page. When the link is clicked, the following message will be displayed.
"Choosing "Yes" confirms my attendance unless specifically excused by the DA's Office
or the Court."
All subpoenas will be set to `on- call ", which means that the officer will be "on call"
through the duration of the proceeding. The DA will contact the liaison or officer and
advise of the specific day(s) the officer is required to attend the proceeding. A field will
also be added to the display (once the DA builds functionality into the DA CMS to drive it)
that indicates if the subpoena has been cancelled. This field will require the Officer or
liaison to confirm their status upon receipt of the subpoena. Only after receiving a
transaction from the DA indicating that the individual will not appear, will the field be
modified to "Cancelled" by the DA.
Subpoenas stay in display until appearance date passes. If status goes to cancelled, the
status is highlighted but the subpoena stays visible on the list.
Key Outcomes
Utilization of the process described results in a number of key outcomes as follows:
1. Paper flow is dramatically reduced.

Key Outcomes
Utilization of the process described results in a number of key outcomes as follows:
1. Paper flow is dramatically reduced.
26
2. Positive indication of receipt of subpoena is available on the ILJ Web page.
All law enforcement subpoenas are considered to be on -call, which means that the officer
remains "on call' throughout the duration of the proceeding unless the DA specifically
indicates that they are "required attendance" subpoenas at a specific date, time, and
location.
Officer Name Index:
The Officer Name Index will contain a list of all officer names (first, middle initial, last, title), email
addresses, and badge numbers (or whatever employee number is used in conjunction with
signing official documents /reports) for the participating agencies. This list will be used to better
identify officers during the process of creating and emailing subpoenas.
The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
• Create a SQL Server database structure to store and manage the index. This includes
table(s) and stored procedures.
• Create a program that will load the index from an officer name file that will be supplied by
the participating agencies.
The Officer Name Files that will be supplied by each agency should have the
following format:
A comma - delimited text file with the following fields in order:
• Badge /ID (up to 10 characters)
• Last Name (up to 40 characters)
• First Name (up to 40 characters)
• Middle Initial or Name (up to 40 characters)
• Title (up to 20 characters)
• Email Address (up to 100 characters)
• Employment status (active /inactive)
The middle name will be stripped so that only the middle initial is saved in the database.
For identification purposes, the name of the file should contain the name of the agency.
Example: NBPDOfficers.txt
• Create a set of screens that will allow authorized users to add, update, and delete officer
records from the Officer Name Index.
Officer Name Index Web Service:
A web service will be used to transfer officer information to the DA or other agencies that may call
this service in XML format. This web service can be called on demand. The agency calling the
service will be responsible for incorporating the officer data into their own case management
system.
Email information for the officers will not be transferred as part of this service.

The steps that will be required to implement this enhancement are as follows:
Create a web -based data entry screen for adding subpoenas. This web page will be
responsible for emailing the subpoenas as well as storing them in the database.
Create new SQL Server database structures that will be used to store and maintain these
subpoenas. This will include tables and stored procedures.
Modify the existing ILJ Subpoena Status Web Site to display these new subpoenas. This
will include the creation of a new web page along with all of the security rules that will
apply to it.
This application will also be available to the DA, Public Defender, and the Court for instances
where subpoenas need to be sent out immediately and cannot wait for the normal batch process
to send them.
