9M. LEASE AGREEMENT WITH WIRELESS CCTV, LLC FOR LEASE OF THREE\nADDITIONAL CAMERA TRAILERS AS PART OF THE SAFE STREETS TOGETHER\nCAMPAIGN UTILIZING COOPERATIVE PURCHASING\nThe City launched its Safe Streets Together: United Against Exploitation campaign in July\n2024. One of the impact areas the campaign focuses on is reducing the demand for\nprostitution and the illegal sale of sex, through the implementation of various strategies.\nCameras can decrease the demand for prostitution and human trafficking by increasing\nthe risk of detection and arrest for buyers of illegal sex. The presence of cameras provides\nheightened surveillance and accountability, discouraging individuals from engaging in or\nfacilitating prostitution and human trafficking. The Council approved the initial lease of two\nsolar camera trailers at its meeting of June 25, 2024. Staff is requesting authorization to\nlease three additional solar camera trailers to support the demand reduction objectives\nutilizing cooperative purchasing and the City of Palmdale’s contract.\nRECOMMENDED ACTION:\n1. City Council find that this item is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act\n(“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15378(b)(5)(Organizational or administrative activities\nof governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the\nenvironment); and\n2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a second lease agreement with Wireless\nCCTV, LLC for three solar camera trailers for a rental term of 3 months and a monthly\nrate of $4,650, for an annual rental amount of $13,950; and\n3. Authorize the City Manager to approve additional costs as needed and determined by\nCity staff, for any contingencies up to 15% of the agreement amount.\nAugust 27, 2024
