TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: C.LEE WEIGEL, CHIEF OF POLICE
CONTRACT FOR BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION SERVICES
RECONRVIENDATION:
It is recommended that the City award a contract to Robert L. Tette to provide background
investigation services for the Police Department at a rate of$17 per hour.
BACKGROUND:
For the past eighteen months, background investigation services for the Palm Springs Police
Department have been provided by Robert L. Tette. Mr. Tette is a retired police officer with over
twenty-seven years of experience and currently serves the City as a volunteer reserve police officer.
Mr.Tette was hired inFebroary 1998 as apart-time temporary employee to conduct pre-employment
background investigations for the Police Department. During this period the Police Department has
filled more than twenty five positions and conducted over 65 background investigations.
To provide for mandated background investigations as required by the California Commission on
Peace Officer Standards and Training, it is proposed that background investigation services be
contracted on a set fee per hour, without fiinge benefits. The change from a City employee to a
Contractor,will provide more flexibility to Mr. Tette and the Police Department without adversely
impacting his status as a California P.E.R.S. retiree.
We are continuing to recruit for current vacancies and anticipate additional ones in the future through
the normal course of employee attrition. The volume of background investigations initiated to date
have been efficiently handled through the use of part-time staff on an as needed basis. Mr.Tette has
been extremely valuable in assisting the Police Department in filling vacancies quickly,while meeting
our State mandates in a cost effective manner.
FISCAL IMPACT:
For the remainder ofFiscal Year 1999-2000 the contract amount will not exceed$15,000. Budgeted
funds are available in the contractual services account, 001-301042500.
