Approve a one-year contract with Wachsmuth & Associates for an amount of $10,000 and Sabadin Intervention Service for an amount of $60,000 for Juvenile Intervention Team Civilian Investigator services, for a total amount not to exceed $70,000. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute up to three additional one-year renewal options with Sabadin Intervention Service beginning in year two, not to exceed the annual amount of $60,000. 3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND the Juvenile Intervention Team (J-Team) which was designed to address drug-related crime and its impact on youth. Since the launch of the Juvenile Intervention Team, the Santa Clarita Valley has experienced a drastic reduction in drug-related crimes among youth, including a 36 percent decrease from 2012 through 2017. The J-Team is a different approach to traditional law enforcement and focuses on prevention of juvenile drug offenses. The J-Team is comprised of one sergeant, two deputy team members, a lead investigator, a data analyst investigator, and six school resource deputies. The goal of the program is to reduce the availability of drugs in the community by proactively identifying at-risk youth who may become a crime statistic without intervention. The J-Team accomplishes its goal Page 1 Packet Pg. 27 4 with an innovative three part-approach that includes enforcement, diversion, and education. Youth with minor drug offenses are referred to the program for additional resources such as life skills classes. The diversion segment of the J-Team is currently managed by the retired Los Angeles County Sheriff, Robert Wachsmuth, from Wachsmuth & Associates. The J-Team Civilian Investigator Agreement between the City of Santa Clarita and Wachsmuth & Associates was approved by the City Council on June 27, 2017. Since the current agreement will expire on June 30, 2018, and Robert Wachsmuth intends to retire, the initiation of a two-month training program will assist in facilitating the transition process for the replacement J-Team Civilian Investigator. The proposed J-Team Civilian Investigator Agreement includes $70,000 total funds from the Public Safety budget. The two-month agreement specifies $10,000 will be apportioned to Robert Wachsmuth through August 31, 2018, for training the replacement J-Team Civilian Investigator, Travis Sabadin. Additionally, the one-year agreement specifies $60,000 will be allocated to Travis Sabadin of Sabadin Intervention Service beginning July 1, 2018, for professional drug intervention services. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT All required funding for the above recommended actions are contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the City Council for that particular fiscal year.

Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, City may obtain coverage at CONSULTANT’S expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate. In the alternative, should CONSULTANT fail to meet any of the insurance requirements under this agreement, City may cancel the Agreement immediately with no penalty. G. Should CONSULTANT’S insurance required by this Agreement be cancelled at any point prior to expiration of the policy, CONSULTANT must notify City within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancellation. Furthermore, CONSULTANT must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements within 10 days of the prior insurer’s issuance of notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT must ensure that there is no lapse in coverage. 23. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation. 24. INCIDENTAL TASKS.

CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees.

AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT will maintain full and accurate records with respect to all services and matters covered under this Agreement.

CONSULTANT will retain such financial and program service records for at least three (3) years after termination or final payment under this Agreement. 22. INSURANCE. A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT will procure and maintain the following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits set forth below: Type of Insurance Limits Commercial general liability $1,000,000 Professional Liability $1,000,000 Business automobile liability $1,000,000 Workers compensation Statutory requirement B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of ISO-CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount of insurance set forth above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Liability policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials, and employees as “additional insureds” under said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed “primary” such that any other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88, or equivalent. Such insurance will be on an “occurrence,” not a “claims made,” basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to CITY. C. Professional liability coverage will be on an “occurrence basis” if such coverage is available, or on a “claims made” basis if not available. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect. D. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto). E. CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as may be reasonably required by CITY from time to time. Insurance must be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of “A:VII.” F. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, City may obtain coverage at CONSULTANT’S expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate. In the alternative, should CONSULTANT fail to meet any of the insurance requirements under this agreement, City may cancel the Agreement immediately with no penalty. G. Should CONSULTANT’S insurance required by this Agreement be cancelled at any point prior to expiration of the policy, CONSULTANT must notify City within 24 hours of receipt of notice of cancellation. Furthermore, CONSULTANT must obtain replacement coverage that meets all contractual requirements within 10 days of the prior insurer’s issuance of notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT must ensure that there is no lapse in coverage. 23. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation. 24. INCIDENTAL TASKS. CONSULTANT will meet with CITY monthly to provide the status on the project, which will include a schedule update and a short narrative description of progress during the past month for each major task, a description of the work remaining and a description of the work to be done before the next schedule update. 25.
