From: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Report Title: Resolution for Life Scan Services for Employment Purposes
?Recommendation of the County Administrator ? Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Acting as the governing Board of the Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District (District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to ADOPT a Resolution to authorize the District to apply for a license with Life Scan for fingerprinting services to access state and federal level background information for employment with the District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are government fees as well as varied location fees charged per service requested, but the amounts are nominal and would be covered by the District's budget.
BACKGROUND:
For several years, Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District has been working with the John Swett Unified School District for Life Scan Services. Live Scan Fingerprinting technology allows digitally scanned fingerprints and related information to be submitted electronically to the Department of Justice and allows fast processing of criminal background checks.
This request is for the District to apply for its own license to be able to access and criminal history information for employment purposes. This will allow the District to receive the information directly and provide for a more efficient process.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this resolution is not adopted, Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District will be unable to access state and federal criminal history for employment information which can result in hiring and workforce challenges.
