CC SR 20240618 09 - LA County Sheriff's FY24 MLESA and 575 Form CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 06/18/2024 AGENDA REPORT AGENDA HEADING: Regular Business AGENDA TITLE: Consideration and possible action to approve a five-year agreement (Fiscal Year ((FY)) 2024-2029) with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and approving the FY 2024-25 Service Level Authorization for public safety services RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-___ OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, APPROVING A FIVE- YEAR MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (MLESA) WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR PUBLIC SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT FOR THE PERIOD BETWEEN JULY 1, 2024 AND JUNE 30, 2029; (2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Five-Year MLSEA; and, (3) Authorize the City Manager to sign the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization for FY 2024-25 at a total City annual cost of $8,173,078. FISCAL IMPACT: Changes to the MLESA do not alter the cost structure of the previous agreement. Rates for law enforcement services are provided annually by the County of Los Angeles Auditor/Controller and are determined based on the fully burdened cost of deploying service units, including variables such as salary, benefits, equipment (vehicles, radios, maintenance, etc.), management overhead, vacation and sick relief, detective services, dispatch and front desk personnel, station jailer services, and civilian positions. In 2023-24, the general law enforcement services cost is $7,864,680.23. For 2024-25, the City will procure the same number of resources, with estimated costs increasing by 3.94%. This is made up of a 3.44% increase for a deputy service unit1 plus a 0.5% increase to the Liability Trust Fund (Liability Trust fund will go from 12% to 12.5% of personnel cost). The FY 2024-25 cost is estimated at $8,173,078, which is included in the FY 2024-25 Draft Budget. Additionally, $70,000 is included in the FY 2024-25 Draft Budget for supplemental (overtime) patrols, which are outside of the scope of the hours provided through the Service Level Authorization . The draft 1 Actual percentages may vary based on the type of service unit (i.e. patrol deputy, bonus deputy, or sergeant) 1 budget represents an estimate of what the Service Level Authorization will be, as it is developed prior to receipt of the agreement.

Draft Letter of Understanding between County and Contract Cities to continue liability negotiations (page I-1) BACKGROUND: The City of Rancho Palos Verdes contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) for law enforcement services through a fixed percentage cost-sharing model with the Peninsula cities of Rolling Hills Estates and Rolling Hills (collectively, “contract cities”). In 2014, the contract cities agreed to migrate from a variable formula to a fixed percentage-only formula for annual cost-sharing of the LASD law enforcement service. The Sheriff’s general law enforcement service costs are portioned using the following formula: Rancho Palos Verdes (68%), Rolling Hills Estates (28%), and Rolling Hills (4%). The City has both a five-year general MLESA which defines the terms and provides a menu of available law enforcement services with LASD and an annual Service Level Authorization SH-AD 575 (575 Form) contract which specifically identifies the annual services and costs provided by LASD. The City Council approved the general MLESA in FY 2019-20 for a term of five years (Attachment D). The current MLESA between the City and the County of Los Angeles is 2 set to expire on June 30, 2024. The current five-year MLESA has been renegotiated between California Contract Cities Association and Contract Law Division of LASD. A new five-year MLESA (Attachment B) has been drafted for the City Council's consideration, with the next term starting on July 1, 2024 and concluding on June 30, 2029. Additionally, the City Council is being asked to consider the rate increase for the FY 2024- 25 service levels, as described below. The attached Annual 575 (Attachment C) delineates the unit and minutes of service provided along with the associated costs that LASD is contractually obligated to provide for FY 2024-25. Annually, the City Council reviews and authorizes the City Manager to sign the 575 for the upcoming fiscal year. Unlike the general MLESA, the Annual 575 can be modified throughout the contract term at the City’s request if resources are available. The City may increase or decrease the number and type of units requested, which would result in changes to the service level received in the community. In FY 2018-2019, the City reduced the number of Non-Relief deputies from 3.36 to 1.36 and increased 56-Hour Deputy Sheriff positions from 8.7 to 10.7. The current Annual 575 has the same configuration as FY 2022-23, and is proposed to remain the same for FY 2024-25 based on the City’s desired level of services and associated costs. In addition to general law enforcement, the City budgets for additional supplemental law enforcement services. These patrols are directed at the City’s request through the City Council Public Safety Subcommittee and Regional Contract Law Committee and are billed as overtime at the rate of time-and-a-half contracted unit costs. Supplemental patrols are discussed in a subsequent section. The City Council is being asked to consider approving the Five -Year MLESA and the FY 2024-25 575 Agreement and the deployment of supplemental patrols. DISCUSSION: Five-Year MLESA Contracting for law enforcement services in Los Angeles County dates back to 1954 when the City of Lakewood first contracted with the County. Currently, 42 cities, including Rancho Palos Verdes, contract with the County through the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department for primary and supplemental law enforcement services, representing almost half of the 88 Los Angeles cities. Under California Government Code Section 51301 et seq, the City has the authority to contract with the County for public safety services. The term of any such contract shall not exceed five years but may be renewed for subsequent five -year periods, provided a decision to continue is made at least a year before the expiration of any current term. The upcoming MLESA is a five-year agreement requiring approval by June 30, 2024 to continue services. According to California Government Code Section 51350, the County must charge the contracting city for all costs incurred due to the agreement. This excludes any indirect 3 overhead charges or costs attributed to services provided countywide or are general county government operational overheads. Thus, the County’s Auditor/Controller established a complex formula to set the price of each contract service unit, and the Liability Trust Fund Claims Board2 determined the recommended funding level for the liability component based on an actuarial study. Together, these two components form the total cost per service unit assessed to the contract cities for each service unit procured. Annually, the City issues a Service Level Authorization, commonly referred to as the “575 form,” which specifies the resources provided to the City. These resources include sworn deputies, non-sworn personnel, public safety equipment, and standard deployment of sworn personnel. The form details the costs associated with each service unit and their quantities based on the five-year MLESA. Changes to the FY 2024-29 MLESA Over the past year, a subcommittee from the California Contract Cities Association (CCCA), consisting of City Managers, collaborated with the County and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD) to negotiate and revise the MLESA. The proposed MLESA includes revisions that were mutually agreed upon by the County and the CCCA subcommittee (Attachment B). In addition to the MLESAs approved over the past few decades, the contract cities have entered into three significant agreements concerning liability and indemnification for County services (provided to the City Council as historic background information): • 1977 Assumption of Liability: The County established a fund to cover liability costs associated with contract services, assuming liability and defense for contract cities (replaced by the 1991 Joint Indemnity Agreement for law enforcement services (Attachment F). • 1991 Joint Indemnity Agreement: The County and cities established the structure of the Liability Trust Fund, transferring responsibility for liability and payment for settlements and claims to this fund, which is fully funded by contract cities. (Attachment G). • 2009 Special Indemnity Agreement: The County and cities agreed to split the liability and funding responsibility equally for certain cases involving deputies or other peace officers incurring felony convictions or any criminal convictions of certain sexual crimes (Attachment H). While the County accepted some of the recommended subcommittee changes, there were a number of changes that were not accepted. Additionally, no agreement on changes to liability and indemnity language was reached prior to the renewal deadline. 2 Board of city councilmembers, city managers, and California contract cities to review and recommend settlements to claims filed related to contract city activity performed by the County. 4 The included MLESA includes several changes based on the contract cities negotiations which are beneficial to the City. The changes include: • Performance will be by Service Unit Rather than Overall – Agreement performance standard changes from one measure overall to several measures at the service unit level. 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 the County to mix and match minutes to achieve their 98 -102% target but can lead to unintended consequences to underperform in areas like traffic, special assignment, or motor units. The change would set the 98-102% performance target 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. 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 the LASD has a practice on this, the language of the MLESA was not explicit to protect a city from losing a deputy temporarily and the n 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. This codifies the lang uage and extends it from 12 to 24 months giving more flexibility for a city to avoid incurring a new vehicle cost. • Transfer of City Property to County – The MLESA requires separate written agreements managed at the 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 location. This language increases transparency and accountability in the handling of the City’s assets where the MLESA was previously silent. • Equipment Replacement after Extended Maintenance and Repair – MLESA 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. The language strengthens the required effort the County must undertake to provide a replacement. A best effort would require the LASD to be more diligent in providing a replacement. • Continue Negotiations on Indemnity Agreements – Agreement includes Section 5.4 which acknowledges indirectly 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 5 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 (Attachment I). The language does not guarantee a change, but it recognizes a mutual interest in ensuring the long-term viability of the Liability Trust Fund and controlling the increasing burden placed on cities for activities a city does not control. The County controls aspects of law enforcement operations (i.e. training, supervision, hiring, discipline, etc.) and to some extent should incur some of the liability, such as when there is gross negligence not controllable by a city. Further negotiations are a positive step. Liability Trust Fund Claims Board As established in the 1991 Joint Indemnity Agreement, the County formed the Los Angeles Contract Cities Liability Trust Fund Claims Board (Board) to review and approve settlement of claims and lawsuits for money damages which are paid from the County’s Contract Cities Liability Trust Fund. The Board consists of eleven members nominated by the California Contract Cities Association and appointed by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors. The members include city council members, city managers, and representatives from the California Contract Cities Association. The Liability Trust Fund is comprised of two funds – the Sheriff's Department Fund and the All Other Departments fund. This is a County trust account funded by contract cities to reimburse the County for all costs related to contract city operations leading to litigation and settlements as a part of MLESA operations. The Liability Trust Fund is self-insured for liabilities up to $10 million and carries insurance up to $50,000,000. The Liability Trust Fund has experienced significant payouts due to settlements and litigation work. The settlements are such a large exposure that insurers have been increasing the self-insurance retention (amount paid from the fund before tapping insurance) of $2 million in 2011-12 to $10 million in 2023-24, and the rate paid by contract cities has risen from 4% to 12%, respectively, and will be 12.5% in FY 2024-25. Given that all activities of the contract cities in the MLESA are the responsibility of the County and contract cities have no authority to govern over actions to reduce liability, the subcommittee feels strongly of the need to revisit the liability and in demnity relationship between the contract cities and the County to ensure balance in who pays for settlements and litigations. The purpose is to ensure the long-term viability of the Liability Trust Fund and the contract model. Further, with the County being exposed to more financial risk associated with operations that only they can control, there will be a greater incentive to ensure more risk reduction approaches and opportunities are leveraged to reduce the overall losses incurred by both the County and the contract cities. While the subcommittee proposed changes to liability and indemnity language, the County desired additional time to discuss and consider changes. Thus, Section 5.4 was added to the MLESA, which allows the subcommittee and County to continue the discussions intended to revise liability and indemnity language to share in the financial 6 exposure with the County instead of the current burden falling completely on the Liability Trust Fund, and by extension, the contract cities. Consequently, the subcommittee will be continuing discussions on amending this language even after the MLESA is approved by the June 30, 2024 deadline, with the existing liability and indemnity language in place since the last MLESA. FY 2024-25 Service Level Authorization SH-AD 575 - Rate Increases and Definitions of Units Annually, the City Council approves the 575 which specifies service levels and types of law enforcement services provided to the City for the next fiscal year. In FY 2023-24 the annual 575 agreement totaled $7,864,680.23. The FY 2024-25 budget for the 575 agreement is $8,173,078, representing an 3.94% increase from the previous fiscal year for all services including the liability trust fund, which equated to $908,119. The increase includes annual adjustment to unit rates and an increase in the liability cost from 1 2% to 12.5%, for the same level of service as FY 2023-24. Table 1 below, FY 2024-25 575 Contract Detail delineates the LASD’s unit cost, coding, personnel required, cost including 12.5% liability, and total minutes the unit position is scheduled to provide in the coming year. 56-Hour Unit Deputy Sheriff: 56-Hour positions are scheduled on three different eight-hour shifts (generally): EM (graveyard – 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.), AM (6 a.m. to 2 p.m.), and PM (2 p.m. to 10 p.m.), seven days a week. LASD is contractually obligated to fill these position shifts regardless of if the deputy assigned calls out sick or is on vacation to maintain compliance with the contract minutes. These units perform general law enforcement services, including responding to service calls, traffic enforcement, conducting general investigations, providing patrol services, and other crime prevention services. The current Annual 575 provides 10.7 units staffed with 17.462 personnel over the course of the 24-hour day. The current deployment schedule for these 10.7 units is represented by Figure 1 on the next page with 56 Hour Units Scheduled by Shift with 3.1 units scheduled in the EM (Graveyard Shift), 3.1 units scheduled in the AM shift, and 4.5 units scheduled in the PM shift. All units are generally staffed with a single deputy per car. Thus, one unit equates to approximately 1.63 personnel. Table 1: FY 2024-2025 Contract Detail Position Code Unit Cost Total Units Personnel Required to service Units Total Annual Cost w/ 12.5% liability Total Contract Minutes Total contract service hours per unit Amount paid per minute per unit Amount paid per hour per unit Amount paid per unit Amount paid per day Deputy, 56 Hour Unit 307 516,493$ 10.7 17.462 6,217,284.49$ 1,874,640 31244 3.32$ 198.99$ 581,054.63$ 17,033.66$ Deputy, Non-Relief 310 335,385$ 1.36 1.36 513,139.05$ 145,982 2433 3.52$ 210.91$ 377,308.13$ 1,405.86$ Deputy, Bonus 1 Non-Relief 305 361,026$ 2.04 2.04 828,554.67$ 218,974 3650 3.78$ 227.03$ 406,154.25$ 2,270.01$ Deputy, Grant Special Assignment 312 233,680$ 1.36 1.36 357,530.40$ 145,982 2433 2.45$ 146.95$ 262,890.00$ 979.54$ Motor Deputy Non-Relief 305A 335,385$ 0.68 0.68 256,569.53$ 72,991 1217 3.52$ 210.91$ 377,308.13$ 702.93$ 16.14 22.902 8,173,078.13$ 2,458,569 40,976 7 In terms of the number of 56-unit cars patrolling the City in a given shift, based on one unit equating to approximately 1.63 personnel and a single deputy per car, during the EM shift there is generally 5 cars, AM shift generally 5 cars, and PM shift generally 7 cars. Figure 1 - 56 Hour Units Scheduled by Shift Non-Relief Units: Non-Relief Units are positions assigned to a specific deputy and general cost less than a 56 Unit. These positions are non-relief; therefore, the shift will not be filled if the deputy assigned is off duty, or not reporting to work due to illness or vacation . However, the contracted minutes must still be met, so if a certain shift’s minutes are not met, it may be “made-up” during a different shift over the year generally within the reporting month. For the City’s contract, non-relief deputies consist of the following: • Non-Relief Deputy Sheriff The current Annual 575 provides 1.36 Units staffed with 1.36 personnel for traffic enforcement in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes distributed to 0.68 units in the AM and 0.68 units in the PM (no unit is assigned for EM Shift). There is generally one Non-Relief Deputy shared by the three contract law cities on the Peninsula portioned according to the following formula Rancho Palos Verdes (68%), Rolling Hills Estates (28%), and Rolling Hills Estates (4%). • Non-Relief Bonus I Deputy Sheriff The current Annual 575 provides 2.04 units staffed with 2.04 personnel for Surveillance and Apprehension Team (SAT). These units are detectives assigned to burglaries and burglary investigation. “Bonus” classification indicates increased skill or training. 8 • Non-Relief Grant Special Assignment Deputy The current Annual 575 provides 1.36 units staffed with 1.36 personnel. This position is partially funded by Citizen’s Option for Public Safety (COPS) grant funds, which are allocated annually by the state for front-line law enforcement programs. These deputies are known as the Community Response Team (CORE) and are shared by the other contract cities on the Peninsula. The CORE Team works with the schools and addresses other community concerns. The CORE deputies may be re-assigned based on community needs. • Non-Relief Motor Deputy The current Annual 575 provides 0.68 units staffed with 0.68 motor deputy personnel for traffic enforcement. Currently, this position is vacant and there is not an anticipated return to service date. Although this non-relief unit is shown on the 575, until the position is filled, the City is not being billed for these minutes based on the monthly invoices. Liability Trust Fund The Liability Trust Fund, as discussed under the MLESA section of this report, is incorporated into the Sheriff’s unit cost. This assessed surcharge varies annually based on lawsuits against the LASD, payoffs for legal charges, and the increasing cost of insurance policies. The liability surcharge increased to 12.5% from 12% this fiscal year. 575 Minute Compliance The service level agreed to in the 575 stipulates the minutes of service allocated annually to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. All minutes are filled by the Lomita Station with sworn LASD deputies. Minutes are logged daily by each deputy and are coded by the call, observation work, or patrols in the City. The minutes are assigned to the agency where the call was generated or by the patrol area the deputy is assigned (i.e., Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, or Rolling Hills Estates). When a patrol deputy receives a call for service, they assign those minutes from the start of responding to the call and conclude the minutes when the call is completed. Deputies are assigned to patrol certain areas in the City. The Station Captain monitors the minutes and makes necessary adjustments based on delivered services. Day-to-day or year-to-date minutes may favor one service area over another, but the minutes should balance by the end of the year. If the monthly service compliance falls below 98%, the Station Captain shall meet with the City Manager to determine a resolution, such as overtime or other measures taken at no additional cost to the City. The Sheriff’s Department makes concerted efforts to exceed monthly servi ce compliance. Mutual Aid Within the contract with LASD, the City agrees that, at the Sheriff’s Department’s sole discretion, the department may redeploy personnel for mutual aid purposes. Although 9 certain deputies are assigned to the City or the Peninsula region, with this understanding of mutual aid, backup may be requested in a different city at any time. If deputies are sent to another city, the minutes will either be billed to that city, or may be absorbed through other cities’ 575. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Supplemental Patrol (Overtime) In addition to the Sheriff’s 575 contract, the City has the ability to fund directed patrols to address specific community issues. Funding for these areas is budgeted under Public Safety – Professional/Technical Services – Supplemental Patrol, rather than through the contracted general law enforcement services. In contrast to 575 56-Hour Units, LASD is not contractually obligated to fulfill the request for supplemental patrols by the City. Supplemental patrols are requested by City Staff, in consultation with the Public Safety Subcommittee, for traffic enforcement and crime suppression. Staff has included $70,000 in the FY 2024-25 budget to provide directed supplemental patrols. This is consistent with the previous fiscal year to reflect the number of hours likely to be scheduled by LASD. Unlike contracted hours, overtime requests are not obligated to be filled, and hours received are typically less than the hours requested. The cost for Supplemental Overtime for FY 2023-24, between July 1 and May 31, 2024, is approximately $42,690. Additional overtime enforcement will continue to be requested based on crime and traffic trends in the City. Budget adjustments for supplemental patrols may be requested at a future date, depending on the City’s directed overtime needs. Public Safety Division On May 2, 2023, the City Council approved a two -year pilot program to create a Public Safety Services Division housed within the City Manager’s Department. The goal of this pilot program is to provide additional services, increase visibility and responsiv eness by utilizing non-sworn Public Safety Liaisons to perform non -emergent support without sacrificing service but minimizing annual increases in the LASD contract over time. This pilot program was presented to the City Council in response to residents’ c oncerns regarding increasing public safety needs and the rising cost of the LASD agreement. The two-year pilot program was approved at $279,600 in FY 2023-24 and $380,200 in FY 2024-25 (approximately $60,000 is one-time costs) from the General Fund, added to the existing public safety budget. The funding approved adds two part-time 30-hour Public Safety Services Mangers and adds one or more part-time community services liaisons (partially funded with transferring positions from Recreation and Parks to the Public Safety Division). The funding that was added to the public safety budget is for a two-year pilot program, however, since the program has not started yet, the $279,600 in FY 2023 -24 will be unspent by year-end. 10 In February, the City Council Subcommittee met with Lomita Station Captain Kimberly Guerrero and staff to discuss reduction in service level option prepared by Contract Law. After this meeting, it was determined that we should continue our service level agreement as is, making no adjustments to the number of units serving the City while we launch the Public Safety Division pilot program. On February 20, 2024, the City Council received a status update on the implementation progress of the Public Safety Division and the presentation included ways to use non-sworn City personnel to augment LASD services and to explore ways to reduce the annual contract cost while still providing public safety services to the community. Recruitment of the Public Safety Managers began in late May, applications are under review and anticipate filling the positions this summer. The existing Parking Ranger classification has been converted to Public Safety Liaisons, existing staff in those classifications have begun processing with LASD backgrounds through the station, they have conducted a site visit to Commerce Public Safety, and will undergo training once the background process is completed. City council has approved the purchase of a Public Safety Vehicle and radios for the new division which are anticipated to arrive in June and be programmed for use in the next fiscal year. Crime Statistics Part I Crimes are reported by the LASD through weekly crime reports. Rancho Palos Verdes consistently has significantly lower Part I crimes compared to Los Angeles County and the state. In years past, staff compared the City to nationwide averages compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); however, the FBI has migrated its reporting to a new system, the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and the most recent data available is from September 2022. The data submitted to the NIBRS database represents a small percentage of law enforcement agencies in California and has not been included in this staff report. Part I Crimes have two categories: violent crimes and property crimes, including burglaries and thefts. To date for calendar year 2023, Part I Crimes in the City totaled 365 compared to 443 Part I crimes committed in 2022, according to Part I crime data collected from LASD weekly crime reports. Prior to 1998, the City saw an annual average of 800 Part I crimes. Crime mapping for FY 2023-24 and a Part I crime graph from Quarter 2 of 2019 through May 2024 are attached (Attachment D). Mobile Digital Communications Staff has access to the Mobile Digital Dashboard (MDD) which is used to monitor the 575 contract through deployment scheduling, reviewing staffing levels per patrol unit, and analyzing contract billing. 11 CONCLUSION: The City Council is being asked to approve the five-year MLESA (Attachment B) between the County, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and the City to provide public safety service by adopting the attached resolution (Attachment A) and to approve the annual 575 fo rm (Attachment C) in the final form ready for signature. Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the LASD Service Level Authorization for FY 2024-25. ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for City Council’s consideration: 1. Direct Staff to change the service levels by increasing or decreasing dedicated units. 2. Take other action, as deemed appropriate. 12 Resolution No. 2024-__ Page 1 of 2 RESOLUTION NO. 2024-__ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, APPROVING A FIVE-YEAR MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (MLESA) WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR PUBLIC SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2029 WHEREAS, The City of Rancho Palos Veres, California (City) and the County of Los Angeles (County) have previously entered into a Municipal Law Enforcement Service Agreement (MLESA) whereby the County through its Sheriff’s Department (LASD) provides general and additional law enforcement services within the jurisdiction of the City; and WHEREAS, the current MLESA expires on June 30, 2024, and the City desires to continue receiving general and additional law enforcement services from the County through the LASD for an additional five years; and WHEREAS, the City intends to enter into an MLESA for a period starting July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029 and to procure and allocate funds for such general law and additional services up to such amount appropriated in the City’s Annual Operating and Capital Budgets; and WHEREAS, the City relies upon the City Manager or designee in partnership with the Station Captain of the LASD to implement the MLESA in such manner to best protect the public safety interests of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and to make such operational changes as necessary to implement the MLESA and fulfill the public safety needs of the City.

RECITALS A. Whereas, the City is desirous of contracting with the County for the performance of municipal law enforcement services by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department ("Sheriff's Department"); and 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 56½ and 56¾ 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 Sheriff's 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 Sheriff's 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. B-2 2 2.0 ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL 2.1 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. 2.2 The rendition of the services performed by the Sheriff's 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. 2.3 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 Sheriff's 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. 2.4 With regard to Paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 above, the Sheriff's Department, in an unresolved dispute, shall have final and conclusive determination as between the parties hereto. 2.5 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 B-3 3 any claim or right to employment, civil service protection, salary, or benefits or claims of any kind from the County based on this Agreement. No City employees as such shall become employees of the County unless by specific additional agreement in the form of a merger agreement which must be concurrently adopted by the City and the County. The Sheriff’s Department will provide approved City employees with the required training necessary to access authorized County programs (i.e. CAD, MDC, etc.), so such City employees can perform the functions of their positions. 2.6 While performing law enforcement services and functions under this Agreement, every Sheriff’s Department employee shall be authorized to enforce all City laws and regulations, including all City codes and ordinances. 2.7 The City shall not be called upon to assume any liability for the direct payment of any Sheriff's Department salaries, wages, or other compensation to any County personnel performing services hereunder for the City. Except as herein otherwise specified, the City shall not be liable for compensation or indemnity to any County employee or agent of the County for injury or sickness arising out of the performance of services under this Agreement. 2.8 As part of its compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to employee hiring, the County agrees that the County Civil Service Rules to which it is subject and which prohibit discrimination on the basis of non-merit factors, shall for purposes of this Agreement be read and understood to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. 3.0 DEPLOYMENT OF PERSONNEL 3.1 Services performed hereunder and specifically requested by the City shall be developed in conjunction with the Sheriff's Department and indicated on Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement. 3.2 The City, or its designated representative, shall meet with its respective Sheriff's Department Station Captain when requesting law enforcement services to be performed in the City, and provide direction to the Sheriff's Department Station Captain regarding the method of deployment for such services. The City and the B-4 4 Sheriff’s Department shall also determine a minimum daily standard of staffing needs for services rendered to ensure an adequate personnel presence during station operation and patrol. The City and the Station Captain shall meet to discuss the minimum daily standard which is documented in Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement. The Station Captain shall endeavor to meet this standard without increased cost to the City. The Sheriff's Department shall ensure that all services are delivered in a manner consistent with the priorities, annual performance objectives, and goals established by the City. 3.3 The Sheriff's Department shall make every attempt to avoid deployment deficiencies (i.e., “busting” of cars) by following the daily minimum standard of staffing, as stipulated in Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement. Should deployment deficiencies occur, the Sheriff’s Department should make every effort to reallocate those resources to the shift where the deficiencies occurred. Should the Sheriff's Department determine that a temporary increase, decrease, and/or realignment in the deployment methodologies is necessary, the Sheriff's Department shall promptly notify the City of this change in advance. In the event that prior notice is not possible, the City shall be notified of the change within two (2) City business days. If monthly service compliance falls below ninety-eight percent (98%) for each service unit type, then the Sheriff's Department Station Captain shall meet with the City to discuss compliance and identify a plan for resolution. If the quarterly and/or year-to-date (September 30th, December 31st, March 31st, and June 30th) service compliance falls below ninety-eight percent (98%) for each service unit type, then the respective Sheriff's Department Division Chief shall meet with the Sheriff's Department Station Captain and the City to discuss compliance and identify a plan for resolution. If the City is dissatisfied with the outcome of either resolution process, the matter will be elevated to a Sheriff's Department Assistant Sheriff or the Sheriff until all City concerns are fully resolved. Resolution may include, but is not limited to, the use of overtime, staffing adjustments, and/or City-initiated service suspensions, at no additional cost to the B-5 5 City. If the City determines it is unnecessary, the City may waive either dispute resolution process discussed above. 3.3.1 The Sheriff’s Department shall monitor and make every attempt to backfill vacant and impaired (to include loaned) sworn supervisorial overhead positions by the beginning of the following quarter. 3.3.2 The Sheriff’s Department will work with the City to provide an appropriate tool and/or reports to demonstrate adequate service level compliance under this Agreement. Such service level compliance reports include, but not limited to, daily staffing levels, service levels, deployment of service units, daily deputy activity, or similar type data that is reasonably available. 3.4 A new Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement shall be authorized and signed annually by the City and the Sheriff or his designee effective each July 1, and attached hereto as an Amendment to this Agreement. 3.5 Should the City request a change in the level of service other than pursuant to the annual July 1 readjustment, a revised Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement shall be signed and authorized by the City and the Sheriff or his designee and attached hereto as an Amendment to this Agreement. 3.6 The most recent dated and signed Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement shall be the staffing level in effect between the County and the City. 3.7 The City is not limited to the services indicated in Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement. The City may also request any other service or equipment in the field of public safety, law, or related fields within the legal power of the Sheriff’s Department to provide. Such other services and equipment shall be reflected in a revised Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement under the procedures set forth B-6 6 in Paragraphs 3.4 and 3.5 above. 3.8 With regard to any public safety equipment requested by the City and set forth on Attachment A, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement, the City shall adhere to the terms and conditions set forth in Attachment C, Public Safety Equipment Use Requirements, of this Agreement. 3.9 When a contracted service unit, requiring the procurement of a vehicle at the onset of service, is deleted from the Service Level Authorization (SH-AD-575) , and the City reinstates said service unit within a 24-month period, the City will not be required to procure a vehicle. 4.0 PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENT 4.1 For the purpose of performing general law enforcement services under this Agreement, the County shall furnish and supply all necessary labor, supervision, equipment, technology, communication facilities, and supplies necessary to maintain the agreed level of service to be rendered hereunder. 4.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may provide additional resources for the County to utilize in performance of the services. 4.2.1 All bailments require a separate Bailment Agreement governing the County’s use of the bailed equipment.

S PC[Nll EM N'IY AG R.090727FI N. DOC.ZS H-28 LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AND CONTRACT CITIES ASSOCIATION REGARDING CONTRACT CITIES LIABILITY TRUST FUND The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) provides law enforcement services to 42 cities in Los Angeles County (Contract Cities) through the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement (MLESA). The MLESA is negotiated every five years, and we are pleased to have reached agreement with the Contract Cities on a five-year MLESA renewal, effective July 1, 2024. We value our mutual goal and partnership to keep our communities safe. During the negotiation of the renewed MLESA, both Contract Cities and the County of Los Angeles (County) agreed that continued discussions around the MLESA’s indemnification provisions are warranted. The increasing value of legal settlements and jury verdicts, escalating insurance costs, and other factors have raised concerns about the potential for exposure to liability at severe or unanticipated levels. This Letter of Understanding (LOU) sets forth the framework within which the County and Contract Cities intend to continue discussions around the MLESA’s indemnification provisions. It is not intended, nor shall it be construed, to impose any monetary or legal duty upon either party. I. PURPOSE The purpose of this LOU is to memorialize the County’s and Contract Cities’ mutual intent to continue to discuss potential changes to the indemnification provisions contained in Section 5.0 (Indemnification) of the MLESA, and to discuss funding models and practices with respect to liability costs. In the renewed MLESA, the parties agreed to maintain the indemnification language from the prior MLESA for a period of nine (9) months, with an automatic extension for an additional six (6) months, to allow these continued discussions to take place. Neither the County nor Contract Cities are committing to any particular resolution or agreement resulting from these discussions, and this LOU is not enforceable against either the County or Contract Cities. Page 1 of 3 I-1 II. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSIONS The County and Contract Cities intend to discuss the specific topic areas identified below. These topic areas are described generally so as not to be unduly prescriptive or limiting. However, the County and Contract Cities do not intend by this LOU to discuss topic areas outside the reasonable scope of the Assumption of Liability Agreement, Indemnity Agreement, Special Indemnity Agreement and those items listed below, and agree that limiting discussion to these topic areas will ensure that discussions proceed in a focused, orderly, and timely manner. 1. Acts or omissions by LASD employees that will not be considered “Contract City business” for the purposes of determining whether the LTF shall pay for resulting litigation costs and liability. 2. Loss control measures to reduce liabilities paid for by the LTF. 3. A formal process to resolve disputes between the County and Contract Cities over responsibility for certain costs of litigation or liability. 4. Responsibility for the costs to defend LASD employees and punitive damages awards under certain circumstances, including but not limited to, when employees are engaged in conduct outside the course and scope of their employment, illegal or sexual activity or with willful disregard for the safety of others. 5. Participation by Contract Cities in the selection of attorneys for Priority 1 & 2 cases, as well as discussions of which firms should be on the panel.. 6. Defining what constitutes timely notice by the County to Contract Cities’ claims and the ramification of a failure to do so. 7. Litigation cost reduction measures. 8. Addressing the solvency of the LTF. 9. Discuss other fee-for-service models that reflect the County’s desire to fully recover its cost of providing MLESA services in Contract Cities, including any liability costs, and the Contract Cities’ desire to reduce liability costs associated with the existing MLESA structure. III. MEETING SCHEDULE AND FORMAT Within 15 days of the execution of this LOU by all parties, the parties will mutually agree on a meeting schedule. Meetings will take place no less than monthly, either in person or virtually. To foster meaningful and productive discussions, the County and Contract Cities intend to limit their respective number of participants at each meeting to no more than six (6) representatives each. County representatives will include, at a minimum, the Chief Executive Office, LASD, and County Counsel. Contract Cities’ representatives will include, at a minimum, Contract Cities Executive Director, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, and a representative from the City Managers workgroup. This does not restrict the use of external professionals to assist in any technical analysis beneficial to the discussions. Page 2 of 3 I-2 IV.
