CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SERVICES
SECURITY ADDENDUM
Legal Authority for and Purpose and Genesis of the
Security Addendum
Traditionally, law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies have been
responsible for the confidentiality of their information. Accordingly, until mid-1999, the
Code of Federal Regulations Title 28, Part 20, subpart C, and the National Crime
Information Center (ECIC) policy paper approved December 6, 1982, required that the
management and exchange of criminal justice information be performed by it criminal
justice agency or, in certain circumstances, by a noncriminal justice agency under the
management control of criminal justice agency.
In light of the increasing desire of governmental agencies to contract with private
entities to porlorn administration of criminal justice functions,the FBI sought and obtained
approval from the United Status Department of Justice (DOJ) to pormit such privatization
of traditional law enforcement fimctions under certain controlled circumstances, in the
Federal Register of\day 10, 1999, the FBI published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
announcing as follows:
1. Access to CHRI [Criminal History Record Inforniation] and
Related Information,Subject to Appropriate Controls,by a Private Contractor
Pursuant to a Specific Agreement with an Authorized Governmental Agency
To Perform an Administration of Criminal Justice Function (Privatization).
Section 534 of title 28 of the United States Code authorizes the Attorney
General to exchange identification, criminal identification, crime, and other
records for the official use of authorized officials of the federal government,
the slates, cities, and penal and other institutions.This statute also provides,
however, that such exchanges are subject to cancellation if dissemination is
made outside the receiving departments or related agencies. Agencies
authorized access to CHRI traditionally have been hesitant to disclose that
information, even in furtherance of authorized criminal justice functions, to
anyone other than actual agency employees lost such disclosure be viewed as
unauthorized. In recent yeah, however, governmental agencies seeking
greater efficiency and economy have become increasingly interested in
obtaining support services for the administration of criminal justice from the
private sector. Willi the concurrence of the FBI's Criminal Justice
Infonnntion Services (CJIS).advisory Policy Board, the DOJ has concluded
that disclosures to private poisons and entities providing support services for
criminal justice agencies may,when subject to appropriate con(rols,properly
be viewed as permissible disclosures for purposes of compliance will) 28
U.S.C.534.
We are ther'efo•e proposing to revise 28 CFR 20.33(x)(7)to provide
express authority for such arrangements. The proposed authority is similar to
the authority that already exists in 28 CFR 20.21(b)(3) for state and local
CHRI systems. Provision of CHRI under this authority would only be
permitted pursuant to it specific agreement with an authorized governmental
CFW/MOTOROLA
Amendment No.10 to CSC No.41910
Page 6
agency for the purpose of providing services for the administration of
criminal justice. The agreement would be required to incorporate a security
addendum approved by the Director of the FBI (acting for the Attorney
General). The security addendum would specifically authorize access to
CHRI,limit the use of the information to the specific proposes for which it is
being provided, ensure the security and confidentiality of the information
consistent with applicable laws and regulations, provide for sanctions, and
contain such other provisions as the Director of the FBI (acting for the
Attorney General) may require. The security addendum, buttressed by
ongoing audit programs of both the FBI and the sponsoring governmental
agency, will provide an appropriate balance between the benefits of
privatization, protection of individual privacy interests, and preservation of
the security of the FBI's CHRi systems.
The FBI will develop a security addendum to be trade available to
interested governmental agencies. We anticipate that the security addendum
will include physical and personnel security constraints historically required
by NCIC security practices and other programmatic requirements, together
with personal integrity and electronic security provisions comparable to those
in NCIC User Agreements between the FBI and criminal justice agencies,
and in existing Aktanagement Control Agreements between criminal justice
agencies and noncriminal justice governmental entities. The security
addendum will make clear that access to CHRI will be limited to those
officers and employees of the private contractor or its Subcontractor who
require the information to properly perform services for the sponsoring
governmental agency, and that the service provider may not access, modify,
use, or disseminate such information for inconsistent or unauthorized
purposes.
Consistent with such intent,Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations(C.F.R.)
was amended to read:
§20.3;Dissemination of criminal history record information.
a) Criminal history record information contained in the Interstate
Identification Index (111) System and the Fingerprint Identification
Records System(FIRS)may be made available:
1) To criminal justice agencies for criminal justice purposes, which
purposes include the screening of cnnployccs or applicants for
employment hired by criminal justice agencies.
2) To noncriminal justice governmental agencies performing criminal
justice dispatching functions or data processing/information services
for criminal justice agencies;and
3) To private contractors pursuant to a specific agreement with an
agency identified in paragraphs(a)(1)or(a)(b)of this section and for
the purpose of providing services for the administration of criminal
justice pursuant to that agreement. The agreement must incorporate a
security addendum approved by the Attorney General of the United
CFW/MOTOROLA
Amendment No.10 to CSC No.41910
Page 7
States, which shall specifically authorize access to criminal history
record information, limit the use of the information to the purposes for
which it is provided, ensure the security and confidentiality of the
information consistent with these regulations, provide for sanctions,
and contain such other provisions as the Attorney General may
require. The power and authority of the Allorrrey General hereunder
shall be exercised by the FBI Director(or the Director's designee).
'Phis Seeurity Addendum, appended to and incorporated by reference in a
governInert-private sector contract entered into for such purpose, is intended to insure that
the benefits of privatization are not attained with any accompanying degradation in the
security of the national system of criminal records accessed by the contracting private
party. This Security Addendum addresses both concerns for personal integrity and
electronic security which have been addressed in previously executed user agreements and
management control agreements.
A government agency may privatize functions traditionally periornted by criminal
justice agencies (or noncriminal justice agencies acting under a ni'magentent control
agreement), subject to the teens of this Security Addendum, If privatized, access by a
private contractor's personnel to NCIC data and other CJIS inlorniation is restricted to
only that necessary to perform the privatized tasks consistent with the government
agency's function and the focus of the contract. If privatized the contractor may not
access, modify, use or disseminate such data in any manner not expressly authorized by
the govertnuent agency in consultation with the FBI.

No. 40264 with Buford Goff&Associates to Provide Engineering and Quality Assurance
Services in the Amount Not to Exceed $2,900,000.00
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council
1. Approve a one-time exception to the Financial Management Policy Statements to allow the use of
debt structures involving balloon payments for the sole purpose of financing the upgrade to the City's
Public Safety and Public Works radio communications system via Tax Notes;
2. Adopt the attached ordinance authorizing the issuance of Tax Notes in the principal amount of
$43,050,000.00, approving the sale of the notes to JP Morgan Chase; providing for the levy, assessment
and collection of a tax sufficient to pay the interest on said notes and to create a sinking fund for the
payment of the principal thereof and ordaining other matters related thereto;
3. Authorize execution of a system purchase agreement in the amount not to exceed $39,345,641.55
with Motorola Solutions, Inc., for equipment and professional services using Houston-Galveston Area

4. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 2 to City Secretary Contract No. 40264 with Buford Goff&
Associates to provide engineering and quality assurance services in the amount not to exceed
$2,900,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
If approved, this M&C will approve a one-time exception to the Financial Management Policy Statements
(FMPS) regarding debt structures with balloon payments, authorize the issuance and sale of Tax Notes
to JP Morgan Chase in order to fund the project to upgrade the City's public safety and public works
radio communications system instead of using the lease-purchase agreement previously approved, and
authorize the execution of the related purchase and services agreements.
The FMPS, adopted by the City Council on December 14, 2010, prohibits balloon debt repayment
schedules which consist of low annual payments and one large payment of the balance due at the end
of the term. However, due to a unique combination of circumstances, including rare market conditions,

M&C Review
financing restrictions, and the urgency of the project to ensure continued maximum public safety, staff is
seeking a one-time exception to the policy for the sole purpose of funding this long-term project via Tax
Notes which have a maximum life of seven years. The principal pay-down schedule would mirror a
standard 10-year issue for the first six years, thus avoiding the spirit of typical balloon-payment
financing. It is anticipated that the Tax Notes will be refunded prior to final maturity to accomplish proper
amortization periods.
On May 17, 2011, (M&C P-11234 revised) the City Council approved the acquisition of hardware,
software and services to upgrade the City's public safety and public works radio communications
system. On this same M&C, the staff recommendation was to fund this project via a lease-purchase
agreement with Motorola. On today's Agenda is M&C G-17302 for separate consideration as staffs
recommendation to rescind that authorization and repeal the related ordinances. Because of current
market conditions, the City can finance this project quickly via Tax Notes, resulting in a projected savings
of approximately $500,000.00 annually over the lease-purchase cost. Although the method of financing
is transferring from lease-purchase to financed purchase, the General Fund will continue to be the
source of repayment.
The upgrade to a current generation digital system will more effectively meet the requirements of first
responders, and fulfills state and federal objectives for interoperability amongst the region's similar
agencies. This system will replace the City's current system acquired in 1992, which is no longer
supported by the manufacturer.
On September 16, 2008, M&C C-23055 was approved, authorizing Buford Goff and Associates, Inc.,
(BGA) to perform an assessment of the public safety radio system. In March 2009, BGA presented a
report that key components of the system had reached end of their life expectancy, were no longer
supported by the manufacturer and could suffer failures when taxed by emergencies and increased
traffic. In light of these factors, the City was encouraged to act as soon as possible.
On May 18, 2010, City Council approved M&C C-24221 authorizing BGA to develop a master plan for the
City to upgrade its radio systems, and negotiate a competitively-priced agreement with the City's
communications provider, Motorola Solutions, Inc. The master plan reinforced the urgency of the 2009
study. Given the current fragile state of the system, increasing service outages, the unavailability of
replacement parts, and the financial challenges the City is facing, the Master Plan attempted to balance
these factors and ensure a stable, reliable and secure communications infrastructure for Police, Fire,
Water, Transportation and Public Works, Parks and Community Service and other City departments.
On June 15, 2010, M&C C-24272 was approved to authorize the acquisition of the Project 25 (P25)
standard master switch, or the core, of a current generation radio system along with one small site to
operate as a potential backup to the existing system. The plan proposed by BGA and Motorola
Solutions, Inc., builds upon the installation of this master switch and the initial site.
Because of the magnitude of this project, the full build-out and migration is expected to require almost 48
months to complete. Assuming contract execution in July 2011, the project would be scheduled for
completion in the first quarter of 2015.
The total cost of the project is estimated not to exceed $53,000,000.00. This total includes
$39,345,641.55 for hardware, software and services acquired through the System Purchase Agreement
with Motorola Solutions, Inc.; $2,900,000.00 for engineering, consulting, and other professional services
from BGA through March 2015; and additional costs for project management and site construction.
Additional M&Cs will be submitted to the City Council for approval of these other project costs as
necessary.
Staff recommends execution of the System Purchase Agreement with Motorola Solutions. Under this
agreement, the system implemented will include expanded coverage areas, specifically in west Fort
Worth and at Texas Motor Speedway, and it will provide additional security features which will help
prevent unauthorized monitoring of public safety communications transmissions. Public works personnel
will also utlize a segment of this system, and if a significant event occurs, public safety personnel will
have access to the public works portion as well. Ongoing support capabilities will be enhanced through

7x24 monitoring and dispatch by Motorola's network operations center.
Staff also recommends execution of Amendment No. 2 to City Secretary Contract No. 40264 with Buford
Goff&Associates for the provision of engineering, consulting and other professional services through
March 2015. These services will include detailed work regarding system design reviews, frequency
licensing, acceptance testing and other critical program functions.
Staff is continuing to explore cooperative measures with other agencies for potential cost sharing and
joint participation. This project is structured in such a way to enable such measures if they are realized in
the future. It is anticipated that the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) will transfer funds, at a
future date via M&C, to offset a portion of the total cost and provide a funding source for the Fiscal Year
2012 debt service payment. Additionally, it is anticipated that the City Manger's Proposed Budget will
include General Fund debt service transfers beginning in Fiscal Year 2013.
PRICE ANALYSIS - The HGAC contract offers fixed discounts ranging from five percent to 25 percent,
which remain unchanged from the previous purchase Agreement approved by City Council on March 18,
2008, M&C P-10750. Staff reviewed the pricing and determined it to be fair and reasonable.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
cooperative purchasing Agreement satisfies any state law requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. The Houston-Galveston Area Council contract was
competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of government entities.
M/WBE - Buford Goff and Associates, Inc., agrees to maintain its initial M/WBE commitment of five
percent that it made on the original agreement and extend and maintain that same M/WBE commitment
of five percent to this Amendment No. 2. Therefore Buford Goff and Associates, Inc., remains in
compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance and attests to its commitment by its signature on the
Acceptance of Previous M/WBE Commitment form executed by an authorized representative of its
company. A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements for Motorola Solutions, Inc., was
approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where
subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
