CC - Item 5B - Renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement with the County of Los Angeles for Public Safety Services Provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's DepartmentROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 9, 2013
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF THE MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider renewal of the agreement with the County of Los Angeles
for municipal law enforcement services provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department for another five -year period.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the
agreement on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND
As stated in the City's Strategic Plan, since its incorporation in 1959, Rosemead has
taken pride in its "contract city" status. With services provided by the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs and Fire Departments, the community is provided with an array of
highly professional public safety resources and services at cost levels that reflect
economies of scale. The Rosemead Public Safety Model, which features a Sheriffs
Lieutenant serving as the City's Chief of Police, enables the community to maximize the
advantages of being a "contract city" while exercising local control.
The Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement is the backbone agreement for
the provision of public safety services by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
for contracting agencies. The agreement has a 5 year sunset provision — meaning that
the current agreement expires June 30, 2014,
The Contract Cities Association and representatives of various "contract cities" have
been working on the preparation of a new Municipal Law Enforcement Services
Agreement which would provide for an additional 5 year extension through June 30,
2019. A uniform agreement format is used by the County and all of the contracting
cities for these services. All contracting agencies will be considering this same
proposed renewal agreement.
ITEM NUMBER ��
City Council Meeting
March 11, 2014
Page 2 of 2
The new five -year agreement contains some minor editing. The most significant
changes are in Sections 2.6 and 2.7, which have been modified to properly identify the
employment relationship of city and county personnel. The other significant change is
in Section 3.0, which has been revised with new contract language regarding
deployment of personnel to ensure effective collaboration between the Sheriffs
Department and the contracting city.
Staff is supportive of these changes and recommends approval of the agreement.
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
