SUBJECT:Title
Consideration of a Resolution Approving an Agreement with Regents of the University of California for Continuing Education and Quality Improvement Services for the Police Department for Five Years in an Amount Not-to-Exceed $238,000. (Budgeted) (Police Chief Johnson).

The not-to-exceed amount of $238,000 includes a 20% contingency to allow for additional services as needed. Sufficient funding exists in the Police Department’s General Fund budget. Future years will be budgeted accordingly for this agreement.
