Striplin RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council: 1. Approve the renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement with Los Angeles County for the period of July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2029. 2. Authorize the City Manager to make such budget adjustments that may be necessary to meet the expenses of the law enforcement agreement for the period of July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2029. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Los Angeles County regarding temporary indemnity and distribution of liability in a form approved by the City Attorney and not to exceed a total term of 12 months. 4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) has contracted for law enforcement services with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) since incorporation. All cities that contract their law enforcement services with LASD must sign an agreement with Los Angeles County (County), known as the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement (MLESA). The MLESA outlines LASD's scope of services and obligations agreed upon between all contract cities and the County. Page 1 Packet Pg. 203 O The MLESA is a five-year agreement and the current MLESA is set to expire on June 30, 2024. Over the past year, a subcommittee from the California Contract Cities Association (CCCA), consisting of City Managers, met with the County and LASD to potentially negotiate and revise the MLESA. The subcommittee included City staff. The proposed MLESA for the next term, starting on July 1, 2024, and concluding on June 30, 2029, includes revisions that were mutually agreed upon by the County and the CCCA subcommittee. Although an agreement has been reached on changes to the MLESA, changes to liability and indemnity language, which is included on separate agreements, have not been reached before the renewal deadline. As cited in Section 5.4 to the MLESA, the subcommittee and County will continue discussions intended to revise liability and indemnity language. The intent is to find language where contract cities share in the financial exposure with the County instead of the current burden falling completely on the Liability Trust Fund, and by extension, the contract cities. The proposed MLESA includes several changes based on the contract cities negotiations, which are beneficial to contract cities. The changes include: • Performance will be by Service Unit Rather than Overall - as the MLESA performance is based on service minutes, the number of deputies and civilians procured by a city are translated into available minutes. This allows LASD to mix and match minutes to achieve its 98-102 percent performance target rate but can lead to unintended consequences to underperform in areas like traffic, special assignment, or motor units or results in service levels that may not match a city's need or demand during a particular time of day or day of week. The change would set the 98-102 percent performance target rate for each specific unit - patrol, motor, special assignment deputies increasing accountability to cities receiving the level of service expected when procuring specific resources. As an example, overages in patrol minutes cannot be made up by reducing service levels of a motor unit or special assignment deputy and vice versa. Retaining Vehicle of Deleted Service Unit - when a city adds a new resource that requires a vehicle (i.e. a new deputy), the city incurs a significant first -year expense for the additional vehicle required for this new deputy. The maintenance and replacement costs of the vehicle are already integrated into the annual charge to the city if the city keeps the new deputy. While LASD has a practice on this, the language of the MLESA was not explicit to protect a city from losing a deputy temporarily and then paying another new vehicle cost when the city restored the deputy. The MLESA adds language that a city can regain access to a vehicle procured with a new deputy service unit when the unit is deleted and restored within 24 months. • Transfer of City Property to County - this provision requires separate written agreements managed at LASD contract city stations to govern items purchased by the City and temporarily transferred to the County. Additionally, the County must maintain a detailed and regularly updated inventory of all non -vehicle City equipment in its possession, including descriptions, serial numbers (if applicable), condition upon receipt, and Page 2 Packet Pg. 204 O location. • Equipment Replacement after Extended Maintenance and Repair - this provision requires that the County will make best efforts to provide a temporary replacement if the original equipment takes more than 60 days to be returned. Continue Negotiations on Indemnity Agreements - outlined in Section 5.4 of the MLESA, this provision acknowledges the continued negotiations between the County and contract cities related to concerns that cities bear the full cost of liability for contract activities when the County should share in such liability. A Letter of Understanding between the County and the California Contract Cities Association outlines how both parties will work towards addressing concerns in several areas raised by contract cities. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action, as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City of Santa Clarita's adopted FY 2024-25 budget.

Whereas, the City is desirous of contracting with the County for the performance of a� municipal law enforcement services by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department ("Sheriffs Department"); and N B. Whereas, the County is agreeable to rendering such municipal law enforcement services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and C. Whereas, this Agreement is authorized by Sections 561/z and 563/4 of the County Charter and California Government Code Section 51301. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the parties mutually agree as follows: 1.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES 1.1 The County, by and through the Sheriffs Department, agrees to provide general law enforcement services within the corporate limits of the City to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Agreement. 1.2 Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, such services shall only encompass duties and functions of the type coming within the jurisdiction of and customarily rendered by the Sheriffs Department under the County Charter, State of California statutes, and the City municipal codes. 1.3 General law enforcement services performed hereunder may include, if requested by the City, supplemental security support, supplemental sworn officer support, and supplemental professional civilian support staff. 1 Packet Pg. 207 9.a 2.0 ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 During the term of this Agreement, the Sheriff or his designee shall serve as the Chief of Police of the City and shall perform the functions of the Chief of Police at the direction of the City. The rendition of the services performed by the Sheriffs Department, the standards of performance, the discipline of officers, and other matters incident to the performance of such services and the control of personnel so employed shall remain with the County. The City understands and agrees that, at the Sheriff's Department's sole discretion, the Sheriff's Department may redeploy personnel for mutual aid purposes pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act, codified at California Government Code Sections 8550-8668. Absent exigent circumstances, any sustained deployment of more than fifty percent (50%) of the City's contracted items, with the calculation determined by service unit type, requires consultation with the City manager or his/her designee. For the purpose of this section, exigent circumstances are defined as such cases where the immediacy of deployment is of such nature where prior consultation is materially detrimental to public safety and the length of such deployment does not exceed 24 hours. In the event of a dispute between the parties to this Agreement as to the extent of the duties and functions to be rendered hereunder, or the minimum level or manner of performance of such service, the City shall be consulted and a mutual determination thereof shall be made by both the Sheriffs Department and the City. The City shall first consult with the Station Captain, Division Commander, and Division Chief, in an effort to reach a mutual determination. If a mutual determination cannot be realized at a subordinate level, then the matter will be elevated to a Sheriff's Department Assistant Sheriff or the Sheriff. With regard to Paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 above, the Sheriffs Department, in an unresolved dispute, shall have final and conclusive determination as between the parties hereto. All City employees who work in conjunction with the Sheriff's Department pursuant to this Agreement shall remain employees of the City and shall not have 2 Packet Pg. 208 9.a 2.6 2.7 VAN any claim or right to employment, civil service protection, salary, or benefits or claims of any kind from the County based on this Agreement.

The Station Captain shall endeavor to meet this standard without to increased cost to the City. The Sheriffs Department shall ensure that all services E are delivered in a manner consistent with the priorities, annual performance ° objectives, and goals established by the City. 3.3 The Sheriffs Department shall make every attempt to avoid deployment a� deficiencies (i.e., "busting" of cars) by following the daily minimum standard of N staffing, as stipulated in Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department 0 N Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement. Should 0 deployment deficiencies occur, the Sheriffs Department should make every effort r c E to reallocate those resources to the shift where the deficiencies occurred. Should m the Sheriffs Department determine that a temporary increase, decrease, and/or realignment in the deployment methodologies is necessary, the Sheriffs m Department shall promptly notify the City of this change in advance. In the event CO that prior notice is not possible, the City shall be notified of the change within two c E (2) City business days.
