Council approves interlocal agreement with Orange County for cloud-hosted warrant software
Summary
The city agreed to join an Orange County-led purchase of cloud-hosted warrant software (Cloud Gavel) under a three-year interlocal agreement; staff said the city's share is nominal and the system will allow remote judicial warrant signatures.
The City Council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into an interlocal agreement with Orange County for shared use and cost of a cloud-hosted warrant software (Cloud Gavel) under a three-year term.
A staff speaker described the system as hosted software that will allow detectives to obtain judge-signed warrants online rather than locating a judge in person, calling it “a great asset to the police department.” The staff member indicated the city’s portion is small; during discussion the speaker revised a dollar figure and said "our portion is about $2,500," though the transcript contains multiple, inconsistent numeric references to the city's share and staff later characterized the per-year cost in transcription as $27.50 — figures that are not reconciled in the record.
Councilmembers voted to approve the three-year interlocal agreement; the motion passed unanimously. The transcript does not include a copy of the interlocal contract, specific implementation date, or details on which county judge or court will participate; it records that the county is the contracting party procuring the software and that the city will participate via interlocal agreement and share a small portion of the cost.
