SUMMARY
The El Monte Union High School District (District) contracts with the Los Angeles County

The SRD Program provides Rosemead High School with a law enforcement officer for five, eight -
hour days, per week, during the school year to serve as a resource for the students and school. In
addition, the SRD attends specific school events such as dances, sporting events, and field trips.
The SRD Program has been in place since 2008 and provides Rosemead High School with a safety
net for students on the school campus and has a uniquely vital role compared to other school staff
members. The presence of the Deputy provides at -risk students a means to resolve and/or avoid
conflicts that would likely occur without their presence.
El Monte Union High School District entered into an Agreement with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff s Department for an SRD and is requesting the City of Rosemead share the cost of the SRD for
the 180 days that comprise the 2026-2027 school year. The total cost to provide an SRD at Rosemead
High School is $267,028.53 (SRD Cost $259,251 and Liability Cost $7,777.53), and the District is
requesting the City to support 50% of the cost in the amount of $133,514.27.

not limited to bodily injury, death, personal injury or property damage (including

the prior consent of the County Indemnified Parties if the indemnity tender by the
County Indemnified Parties is accepted without a reservation of rights; provided,

whatsoever limits or circumscribes School's indemnification of the County
Indemnified Parties. The School's obligations hereunder shall be satisfied when the
School has provided to the County Indemnified Parties the appropriate form of
dismissal (or similar document) relieving the County Indemnified Parties from any
and all liability for the action or claim involved. Any insurance coverage shall in
