Staffpresent was Town Manager Stephen L. Wright, Police ChiefN. J. Bayer, Nevada County Sheriff Troy Arbaugh, consultants Joe Hinsberg and Dr. Rolland Dart of Ralph Andersen & Associates. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE was led by Police Chief Jack Bayer. PUBLIC COMMENT. None LAW ENFORCEMENT WORKSHOP. The workshop information was presented by Town Consultant Joe Hinsberg and included a discussion of the primary contract elements which currently exist and some alternatives which other contracting agencies use in the State of California. The Consultant then led a discussion of law enforcement services alternatives including a breakdown of basic contract services, a discussion of partial contract service options, and a discussion of full in-house service options. Council then reviewed the various tasks in the Request for Proposal process, as well as identifying the responsibilities of the Town bidders and the consultant in this process. The Consultant then proposed completion of the RFP elements in June allowing for a three-month time period during which potential respondents would develop a response to the RFP. Receipt of bids is anticipated in October of 1995 with the Town Council considering various alternatives and making a final decision regarding long-term law enforcement services in November/December. The Consultant indicated that to some extent with the relatively low incident rates in Truckee the size of the department would be primarily structured on an officer safety basis. The Consultant recommended that the RFP be structured in such a way as to allow the prospective bidders as much flexibility as possible to be able to respond to service issues in a way that best worked for the respective organizations. For that reason principle factors within the RFP would include activity information, existing service level information, and operational data. The Council would then be able to evaluate the various responses to the RFP and select individual components that best met the overall needs of the community. The Council concurred with this approach and the Consultant will complete the RFP and review it with the Town Manager prior to distribution to prospective bidders. Town Council Minutes Page 2 6.
