Dear Mayor Lewis:
I would like to request an item pertaining to the consolidation of the Automated Regional
Justice Information Systems (ARJIS) into SANDAG be docketed between January and
March 2004 at a City Council meeting. At that meeting your council will be asked to
approve the revised ARJIS Joint Powers Agreement, which is attached to this letter.
Adoption and execution of the revised JPA by ARJIS member agencies is required for the
consolidation to move forward.
Over the past several years, ARJIS has grown from 10 member agencies to 50 justice
agencies representing local, state, and federal government within San Diego and Imperial
Counties. A strong governance structure and track record of successful implementations
have made ARJIS a national model for justice sharing initiatives.
Since April 2003, consolidation of ARJIS into SANDAG has been actively pursued by the
ARJIS/SANDAG Consolidation Committee, a working group composed of members from
the ARJIS Board and the Chiefs’/Sheriff s Management Committee. Following approval by
the ARJIS Board on November 21, 2003, the SANDAG Board also approved the Final
Consolidation Plan at its December 19th meeting. Consolidation will be completed by July
2004, following the adoption and execution of the modified ARJIS JPA by its member
agencies during the early part of 2004.
In order to accomplish consolidation, ANIS administrative and financial functions are
transferring to SANDAG and a new Pubic Safety Policy Advisory Committee (PSPAC)
will be created. The PSPAC, reporting directly to the SANDAG Board, will set policy and
oversee both ARJIS and the current criminal justice function at SANDAG. This new policy
advisory committee will replace the current ARJIS Board and its Executive Committee. At
the direction of the SANDAG Board, the Policy Committee’s name will be reconsidered
once the committee is convened.
The PSPAC will provide a uniform, seamless, and broadened regional approach to public
safety functions and operate like the four other SANDAG policy committees. Membership
will include six voting SANDAG Board members, five voting public safety members, and

four advisory (non-voting) public safety members. The inclusion of a public safety
component with voting powers will combine the practical, users’ input with policy
decision-making, resulting in improved delivery of information to enhance both officer and
public safety. Other benefits of the ARJISBANDAG consolidation, which has the strong
support of our federal public safety partners, include:

Enhanced legislative outreach and funding opportunities;
Enhanced role for ARJIS as the convening agency for information technology that
will ensure delivery of state-of-the art information systems;
Increased opportunities for collaboration synergies with other SANDAG divisions;
Retained ARJIS identity because the ARJIS name is not changed;
Separated and protected existing and future ARJIS revenues; and
Enhanced administrative benefits and shared access to resources.
Barbara Jean Hams from ARJIS will contact city staff soon to confirm a date. If you would
like more information about the consolidation or have any questions, please contact Pam
Scanlon at (61 9) 533-4204 or pscanlon(i2. ariis.org.
We look forward to meeting with your council to discuss the ARJISBANDAG
consolidation.
