the California Mission Inn will be utilizing their own security for Cesar Millan, at a
savings of $2,000. Therefore, the total cost of Rosemead Public Safety Department
resources will be $2,400. Due to the large crowd that is expected, Los Angeles County
Sheriff's deputies will be required to serve as crowd control and security. The deputies
utilized will be the City of Rosemead Special Assignment Team, consisting of six
deputies for eight hours. The use of these deputies will not interrupt the regular police
services to the City. The cost of the six deputies for an eight hour shift is $3,561. With
the total cost of services, equaling $6,321, the California Mission Inn has indicated its
willingness to reimburse the City for the use of City resources in the amount of
$3,160.50.
