o Total untested 3685
- 1969 tested
- 1714 not tested

•85 Profile already in CODIS from other crime scene evidence and the crime shows up on the perpetrator’s rap sheet
•6 anonymous victims (if victims call in and request that kit not tested, they will test)
• Dawn denied sole source and rejected budget
• Now meeting and discussing whether they should send out an RFP or continue with the crime lab
• Crime lab just let them know that they are caught up with their cases and have turned to SAKI cases
• Crime lab can use crime lab money that was never used for overtime
? Do we want to take the money and outsource? That would give us about 6 months.
? Or do we want to use the crime lab?
? Not sure where we're going to land
? It will be ultimately determined by DA
• Crime lab said that within 18 months they can complete all SAKs
• Lexi has 2 open cases and 1 John Doe case
• If new budget gets approved: Starting December 31, SAKI won't pay for personnel and all will be diverted to testing SAKs
• No needs for TA at this point this time
• If they do decide to go for the RFP for another lab and they are requesting that 150-200 kits be tested; it may be good to talk with another site that has done that
? Action Item: Merissa to identify other sites that have gone through this process
Vanessa reported that the OC lab is testing appl 15 kits per month. Vanessa is working on the budget modification. They have determined that they will outsource the testing. The local lab will test 440 kits (the high priority kits or kit with consensual partner). The 1225 kist still need to be tested.
Vanessa reported that a guy that they got a CODIS hit on is serving 53 years for mutiple rapes but his RAP sheet has very little on it (e.g., no convictions, a handful of accusations). Vanessa wants to know how the rap sheet can be updated.
Merissa to reach out to SAKI team to determine how a RAP sheet can be updated.
Vanessa reported that the OC lab is ramping up and increasing the number of SAKs tested. Merissa let Vanessa know that in order to have a RAP sheet updated, they have to notify the court that filed the charges to input the data into the system. The OC SAFE website is coming along.
