Whereas, on October 8, 2002, County and Incorporated Cities entered into a Memorandum of Understanding Regarding the Operation of the Automated Fingerprint Identification System and to provide Local Law Enforcement Agencies access to the California Identification System ("MOU") to set forth their respective obligations with respect to the cost and operation and maintenance of the CAL-ID and AFIS Program ("Consolidated Program"); and
