CC SR 20260616 05 - Public Safety Update
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 06/16/2026
AGENDA REPORT AGENDA HEADING: Regular Business
AGENDA TITLE:
Consider approving the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department
Service Level Authorization for public safety services and receive a fourth quarter status
update on the Public Safety Division.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department (LASD) Service Level Authorization (Annual Form 575) for Fiscal Year
(FY) 2026-27 for a total cost of $8,897,027; and
2) Receive and file a fourth quarter (March-June 2026) status update on the
implementation of the Public Safety Division including its current initiatives and
future objectives.
FISCAL IMPACT: 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 FY 2026-27, general law enforcement services, as outlined in
LASD’s Annual Form 575 document, will cost $8,897,027. This
amount includes the same level of services provided in the prior year
(FY 2025-26) but reflects an overall 3.6% cost increase.
A budget of $8,900,000 has been included in the FY 2026-27 Draft
Budget under adoption consideration this evening as a separate
agenda item. Additionally, $70,000 is included in the FY 2026-27 Draft
Budget for supplemental (overtime) patrols, which are separate from
the services provided through the Annual Form 575. VR
Amount Budgeted: $8,900,00 and $70,000

ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A) LASD Annual Form 575 for FY 2026-27 (Page A-1)
B) Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement by and between County of Los
Angeles (Page B-1)
BACKGROUND:
The City contracts with LASD for law enforcement services through a cost-sharing
arrangement with the Cities of Rolling Hills Estates and Rolling Hills. Under the current
allocation formula, service costs are distributed as follows: Rancho Palos Verdes (68%),
Rolling Hills Estates (28%), and Rolling Hills (4%).
In 2024, the City entered into a five-year Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement
(MLESA) with LASD for the period between July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029. The
MLESA establishes the general framework for law enforcement services that may be
available to the City.
Within the five-year period under the current MLESA, the City Council must annually
consider and approve a Service Level Authorization, commonly referred to as the Annual
Form 575, which outlines the staffing units, service levels, personnel assignments, and
minimum service minutes that LASD is contractually obligated to provide to the City
throughout a given fiscal year. These services include patrol operations, calls for service,
traffic enforcement, crime prevention activities, investigations, and community policing
functions. Unlike the broader MLESA, the Annual Form 575 may be modified throughout
the fiscal year should service adjustments be requested and resources become available.
The LASD Annual Form 575 is the City’s largest contract, and Chart 1 on the following
page illustrates the total cost of each Annual Form 575, which has risen by an average of
4.5% over the past ten years.
[Continued on the next page]

Chart 1: LASD Service Level Authorization (Annual Form 575) – 10 Year Trend
Given the rising cost of the City’s annual contract with LASD, the City Council considered
and approved a new Public Safety Division (Division) in May 2023. The primary goal of
the Division is to supplement LASD services with non-sworn City staff and resources that
could more economically enhance public safety services, separate from but
complementary to LASD deputies. Following an initial planning and recruitment phase,
the Division formally launched in January 2025 and has been providing the City Council
with quarterly updates regarding its progress.
As such, this report presents the FY 2026-27 Annual Form 575 for the City Council’s
consideration, as well as a 4th quarter update on the Division and its work within the
community.
DISCUSSION:
1) FY 2026-27 LASD Annual Form 575
The City is preparing to enter the third year of its 5-year MLESA with LASD and has
received its FY 2026-27 Annual Form 575, which will cost $8,897,027. The cost
represents a 3.6% increase over the FY 2025-26 contract amount of $8,583,899. For
context, the Los Angeles Area CPI-U increased by 3.7% for the 12-month period ending
in April 2026.
Despite the cost increase, the City will continue to receive the same level of contracted
law enforcement services provided in FY 2025-26. The increase is primarily attributed to
adjustments in personnel costs, contractual rate increases, and an increase in the Liability
Trust Fund contribution from 13% to 14.5%
$6,702,129 $6,919,617 $7,298,824 $7,049,293 $7,134,790 $7,248,597

LASD Service Level Authorization -10 Year Trend

Historically, cities have had the ability to increase or decrease contracted service levels
based on operational needs and budget considerations. However, due to LASD’s ongoing
staffing challenges, including more than 1,000 vacant deputy positions countywide,
Sheriff Robert Luna has implemented a growth moratorium that limits contract cities from
increasing service levels and allowing them to only maintain or reduce levels at this time.
As a result, the City is proposing to maintain its current service configuration for FY 2026-
27, which is summarized below.

56-Hour Deputy Sheriff Units
A significant component of the City’s contract consists of 56-hour Deputy Sheriff patrol
units. These deputies are generally assigned across three daily patrol shifts: Early
Morning ((EM))10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), Day Shift ((AM)) 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), and
Evening Shift ((PM) 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.), seven days per week.
LASD is contractually obligated to maintain these patrol hours regardless of employee
absences or vacancies, ensuring that minimum service levels are achieved throughout
the year. These deputies provide frontline law enforcement services, including responding
to calls for service, conducting investigations, traffic enforcement, crime prevention
efforts, and proactive patrol operations.
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 Chart 3 on the next page for the 56 Hour Units Scheduled by Shift with 3.1 units
scheduled in the EM, 3.1 units scheduled in the AM shift, and 4.5 units scheduled in the
PM shift.

Deputy, Bonus I 2.04 2.04
Grant Deputy 1.36 1.36
Motor Deputy 0.68 0.68
All units are generally staffed with a single deputy per car. Thus, one unit equates to
approximately 1.63 personnel (17.4624 personnel / 10.7 units = 1.63 personnel). 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
are generally 5 cars, AM shift generally 5 cars, and PM shift generally 7 cars.
Non-Relief Units
Non-Relief Units are positions assigned to a specific deputy and generally cost less than
a 56-Unit. These positions generally handle less emergent calls or situations; therefore,
the shift will not be filled if the deputy assigned is off duty or not reporting to work due to
illness or personal time off. 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.
Pursuant to the City’s FY 2026-27 Annual Form 575 (Attachment A), Non-Relief Units
consist of the following:
• Non-Relief Deputy Sheriffs
The Non-Relief Deputy Sheriffs work 40-hour weeks, five days a week. If a Non-
Relief Deputy Sheriff is off duty, the position is not filled. These units are dedicated
to traffic enforcement. According to the City’s 575 Form, there is 0.68 of a deputy
assigned solely to traffic enforcement during the 8-hour AM and PM shifts in the
City. The remaining 0.28 is dedicated to Rolling Hills Estates and 0.04 to Rolling
Hills for a total of 1 deputy each shift shared between the three contracted cities
for traffic enforcement.
• Non-Relief Bonus I Deputy Sheriffs
Bonus I Deputy Sheriffs, known as the Surveillance and Apprehension Team
(SAT), are detectives specifically assigned to burglaries and burglary
investigations. “Bonus” is a classification-level indicator of increased skill sets and
training.
5
• Non-Relief Grant Special Assignment Deputy
The Non-Relief Grant Special Assignment Deputy position is partially funded by
Citizen’s Option for Public Safety (COPS) grant funds, which are annually allocated
from the state for front-line law enforcement programs. These deputies are known
as the Community Response (CORE) Team and are shared by the Peninsula and
only work in the Peninsula region. The CORE Team is heavily involved with the 3
schools and addressing community complaints. CORE deputies may also be re-
assigned based on community needs. The CORE Team is generally assigned to
the City’s Supplemental Programs, such as added traffic enforcement operations.
Non-Relief Motor Deputy
The current Annual 575 Form provides one motor deputy personnel for traffic
enforcement. The motor deputy conducts targeted traffic enforcement operations
and regularly patrols the streets to promote safe driving and appropriate speeds.
The one motor deputy is shared between the three contracted cities for traffic
enforcement.
Liability Trust Fund
The Liability Trust Fund surcharge, as discussed under the MLESA section of this report,
is incorporated into the Sheriff’s contract and varies annually based on the ongoing costs
associated with lawsuits filed against LASD countywide. Costs may include, but are not
limited to, legal settlements, attorney fees, and the resulting increase in insurance policy
premiums.
Chart 4 illustrates the Liability Trust Fund surcharge rate over the past 10 years. In
summary, the surcharge held steady at 11% from FY 2019-20 to FY 2022-23. However,
in recent years, the surcharge has gradually risen, reaching its highest increase of 14.5%
in FY 2026-27 and becoming a larger contributing factor to the overall LASD contract
increases. This surcharge of 14.5% is incorporated in the City’s FY 2026-27 Annual 575
Form being presented tonight for City Council consideration. There has been no indication
from LASD whether the surcharge will level off or increase in future years.
[Continued on the next page]

Chart 4: Liability Trust Fund Surcharge – 10 Year Trend
575 Minute Compliance
The service level agreed to in the Annual Form 575 stipulates the minutes of service
allocated annually to the City (2,458,569 minutes or 40,976 hours in the FY 2026-27
Annual Form 575). All minutes are filled by the Lomita Station with sworn LASD deputies.
Minutes are logged daily by each deputy and are coded by calls, observations, 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 to (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.
The Station Captain monitors service minutes and makes adjustments as needed to
ensure balanced delivery across service areas. While minutes may fluctuate day-to-day
or year-to-date, they are expected to balance out and have the total number of minutes
achieved by year-end. If monthly service compliance falls below 98%, the Station Captain
must meet with the City Manager to determine a resolution. The Sheriff’s Department
consistently aims to exceed this compliance threshold to which Lomita Sheriff’s Station is
in compliance.
Under the terms of the LASD contract, the City acknowledges that, at the Sheriff’s sole
discretion, personnel may be redeployed for mutual aid. Although deputies are assigned
to the City and Peninsula region, they may be temporarily reassigned to assist other
jurisdictions as witnessed for the Palisades and Eaton fires in 2025. In such cases, the
time may be billed to the receiving city or absorbed through other cities’ Annual Form 575
Agreements.

Supplemental Patrol Services
Separate from the Annual Form 575, the City budgets for supplemental overtime patrol
services, when there are sufficient staff available to accept any related assignments.
Supplemental patrols allow the City to direct law enforcement resources toward specific
community concerns, crime trends, traffic enforcement initiatives, special events, and
targeted enforcement operations when demonstrated by data trends or need.
These services are billed at overtime rates and provide the City with operational flexibility
to address emerging public safety issues throughout the year. For FY 2026-27, Staff has
budgeted $70,000 for supplemental patrol services, which is the same amount budgeted
for the prior two years. To reiterate, overtime services are only available when LASD has
sufficient staff to accept these added patrols or duties.
Staff recommend approval of the FY 2026-27 Annual Form 575 to maintain existing
service levels and continue providing comprehensive law enforcement services to the
Rancho Palos Verdes community. In the meanwhile, the City will continue to develop the
Public Safety Division to more economically enhance LASD services, utilizing non-sworn
City staff and resources.
2) Public Safety Division Update
The Division was established to enhance public safety through proactive coordination,
community engagement, and strategic support of law enforcement services. The Division
is staffed by 2 Public Safety Liaisons (PSL), 1 Field Training Officer (who also serves as
a third Public Safety Liaison), a Senior Administrative Analyst, and a Public Safety
Manager (PSM), each serving distinct but complementary roles in supporting the City’s
public safety objectives.
Once training has completed this summer, PSLs will provide operational support by
responding to non-emergency calls for service (once trained) dispatched via LASD,
conducting neighborhood and targeted patrols, assisting with special events, supporting
traffic and crowd management efforts, providing assistance to interdepartmental needs,
and serving as an additional resource for LASD during public safety incidents.
The Division is overseen by the Public Safety Manager, who works under the direction of
the City Manager’s Office to coordinate public safety initiatives, manage the City’s
contract with LASD, oversee supplemental patrol deployments, coordinate special events
that require public safety response efforts, and serve as the primary liaison between the
City and its public safety partners and community members. Supporting these efforts, the
Senior Administrative Analyst is responsible for collecting and analyzing crime and
operational data, conducting research, identifying trends, developing performance
metrics, and providing information that assists staff in making data-driven
recommendations and decisions. As of April 2026, the Division is fully staffed and
prepared to move forward with its goals.
8
Public Safety Liaisons (PSL)
The PSL Program remains in its implementation phase. PSL staff continue to receive
training and are progressing toward full dispatch capability through LASD by Summer
2026. Training will include the proper use of the MDC radios that LASD will use to dispatch
non-emergency calls for service to the PSLs, along with other training courses intended
to keep both PSLs and community members safe. This includes traffic flagging, OC spray
training, and de-escalation training to be completed in summer 2026.
In the interim, PSLs have continued conducting neighborhood patrols, assisting with
directed patrol operations, monitoring public safety concerns, and serving as an additional
set of eyes and ears in the community.
As part of the FY 2026-27 budget development process, and at the direction of the City
Council during the May 18, 2026 Budget Workshop, funding for one vacant part-time PSL
position was deferred, resulting in approximately $41,000 in budget savings. Despite this
adjustment, implementation of the Division remains on schedule.
PSLs regularly communicate real-time observations and emerging issues to the Public
Safety Manager, who coordinates directly on enforcement efforts with LASD, when
appropriate. These efforts have enhanced situational awareness and strengthened
coordination between City staff and law enforcement partners.
To further evaluate operational effectiveness, Staff is exploring a one-month pilot
deployment of a late-night patrol schedule between approximately 10:00 p.m. and 5:00
a.m. The purpose of this pilot is to determine whether additional overnight visibility and
monitoring can provide value by identifying suspicious activity, improving communication
with LASD, and monitoring locations that have experienced recurring public safety
concerns, including residential care facilities where juveniles have previously left without
authorization from the operators and caused safety concerns in the neighborhood.
Following the pilot period, staff will analyze collected data and operational outcomes
before determining whether continued deployment is warranted.
Special Event Coordination – Annual BMX Event
Staff recently coordinated a significant multi-agency response for the annual BMX bicycle
gathering that traditionally occurs on the Peninsula. While the event occurs each year,
organizers generally do not publicly disclose event details or routes in advance, requiring
extensive planning and coordination among regional partners.
The City served as the lead coordinating agency and worked closely with LASD, Palos
Verdes Estates Police Department, Peninsula cities, City of Lomita, Park Rangers, and
Public Safety staff to develop multiple contingency plans and address potential impacts
throughout the Peninsula especially Rancho Palos Verdes through the landslide.
9
Public Safety Liaisons and Rangers were strategically positioned at key access points to
monitor activity and provide real-time information to the Public Safety Manager, who
coordinated directly with LASD personnel. Through proactive planning, continuous
communication, and consistent law enforcement presence, the operation was successful
in discouraging participants from entering the Portuguese Bend landslide area and
sensitive trail systems, preventing potential damage to natural resources and reducing
public safety risks.
The event demonstrated the value of regional coordination, proactive planning, and real-
time communication between City staff and public safety partners.
Code Enforcement and Public Works Support
The Division continues to support Code Enforcement operations by assisting with
investigations involving abandoned and oversized vehicles, overnight parking violations,
and other cases requiring coordination with LASD. This collaborative approach helps
streamline enforcement efforts while improving responsiveness to community concerns.
The Division also continues to support Public Works and LASD by monitoring and
documenting traffic-related concerns throughout the City. PSLs have been deployed to
observe school drop-offs and pick-ups, traffic conditions, and verify resident traffic
complaints. This additional field presence allows the City to respond more efficiently to
resident concerns while providing data to support Public Work and LASD traffic safety
initiatives.
Performance Measurement and Data Collection
With the recent addition of a Public Safety Analyst, staff have begun developing
comprehensive performance metrics that will allow the City to evaluate the effectiveness
of the Division and provide measurable updates to the City Council.
As PSLs become fully dispatchable through LASD, staff will begin collecting and reporting
data in the following areas:
• Number of PSL assigned calls for service
• Number of non-emergency calls handled by PSLs that would otherwise require
deputy response
• PSL patrol hours
• LASD deputy patrol hours
• Overall crime rates and Part I crime statistics.
• LASD response times to calls for service.
• Average deputy and PSLs time spent on non-emergency calls
• Community events attended by PSLs.
• Community engagement activities and success stories demonstrating trust-
building efforts between residents, City staff, and LASD.
10
These performance indicators will provide the City Council with a clearer picture of
program effectiveness and help guide future operational decisions.
Neighborhood Watch Program
Staff has made significant progress in partnership with the City’s Neighborhood Watch
Coordinator to strengthen and modernize the Neighborhood Watch Program.
In coordination with the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, recent accomplishments
include:
• Updating Neighborhood Watch information on the City’s website with background
information and current contact information
• Creating online registration forms that are entered into a real-time roster that can
be used by authorized Neighborhood Watch volunteers to communicate public
safety information to one another.
• Posted an online payment portal where residents may make 100% voluntary
donations for signs, events, and other Neighborhood Watch resources to improve
public safety
• Mapping Neighborhood Watch areas, their current coordinators and block captains
to help residents identify their local Neighborhood Watch group. This map will be
digitized and posted on the City’s website in advance of National Night Out on
August 4, 2026.
• Staff is currently working with the IT Division to explore an opt-in, voluntary text
notification platform that the City can use to provide Neighborhood Watch
participants with verified real-time public safety information and emergency
notifications on personal devices.
Future Program Development
Business Community Outreach Program:
Staff is currently developing a new business engagement initiative designed to strengthen
communication between local businesses, LASD, and the City.
The program will establish a centralized public safety resource for Rancho Palos Verdes
businesses, providing crime prevention information, public safety education, and direct
access to City and law enforcement resources. Staff anticipate launching the program by
fall of 2026.
Planned program components include:
• Voluntary business security assessments conducted in partnership with LASD
• Public safety roundtable discussions focused on crime trends, prevention
strategies, and business concerns
• Enhanced communication and information sharing between businesses, LASD,
and City staff
11
• Collaboration opportunities with local business organizations and regional partners
LASD Drone Program Update:
Staff and representatives from the Lomita Sheriff’s Station recently presented the
proposed LASD Drone Program to the Regional Contract Law Committee (RCLC). The
RCLC supported advancing the proposal for consideration by the participating City
Councils of Rancho Palos Verdes, Lomita, Rolling Hills, and Rolling Hills Estates. The
proposed Drone Program includes four FAA-certified law enforcement-operated drones
consisting of one long-range drone, two general deployment drones, and one interior
drone designed for critical incident response.
Potential uses of the drone program include:
• Traffic collision and roadway hazard assessments.
• Emergency and disaster response.
• Search and rescue operations.
• Situational awareness during special events.
• Monitoring of difficult-to-access terrain and open space areas.
Staff and LASD continue to refine operational procedures, governance structures, privacy
safeguards, and data management protocols to ensure responsible implementation of the
Drone Program. Once finalized, staff will return to the City Council with a formal
recommendation on ways to participate in this Drone Program along with a Memorandum
of Understanding between the four cities and the LASD.
Based on the initial cost-sharing model among the four cities, Rancho Palos Verdes’
estimated annual share would be approximately $44,080. Staff has budgeted $55,000 in
the proposed FY 2026-27 Budget to cover this cost share and provide additional funds
for repairs and other needs as they may arise over the initial year.
COST ALLOCATION FORMULA: $76,000
Member Population Percentage Cost Share
The four cities have also discussed the possibility of adjusting this cost-sharing model
based on actual usage of the drones, rather than city population, after the Program has
been implemented for a year and usage data can be collected.
12
Crime Trends
The Division continues to monitor crime trends in partnership with the Lomita Sheriff’s
Station and adjust resources accordingly.
Recent crime data indicates decreases in residential burglaries and vehicle burglaries
compared to the previous reporting period. However, fraud-related offenses have
increased and continue to be an area of concern. With trends of forgery increasing year-
to-year, LASD is actively working with the United States Postal Inspection Service
regarding suspected criminal activity involving mail theft and related fraud offenses. Staff
will continue monitoring these trends and coordinating with law enforcement partners to
identify opportunities for prevention, education, and enforcement.
Notably, Part I Crimes (i.e., robbery, larceny, theft, homicide, aggravated assaults, etc.)
were reported to have decreased by 38.5% during the early months of 2026 when
compared to the same period in the previous year. LASD reported conducting proactive
enforcement operations, including targeted traffic enforcement efforts that resulted in
approximately 450 vehicles being screened during a single operation with eight citations
issued. These efforts are part of ongoing strategies focused on visibility and deterrence
throughout the City.

MUNICIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
AND CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
This MW1icipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered
into this \S,-day of ~l1~... , 2024 by and between the County of Los Angeles
("County") and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes ("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 Sheriffs Department
("Sheriffs Department"); and
B. Whereas, the CoW1ty is agreeable to rendering such mW1icipal 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 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 CoW1ty Charter,
State of California statutes, and the City municipal codes.

by the City, supplemental security support, supplemental sworn officer support, and
supplemental professional civilian support staff.
B-3
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 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 Sheriffs
Department's sole discretion, the Sheriffs 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 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 Sheriffs Department Assistant Sheriff or the Sheriff.
2.4 With regard to Paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 above, the Sheriffs Department, m 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 Sheriffs Department
pursuant to this Agreement shall remain employees of the City and shall not have
2
B-4
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 Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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.

Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs Department
Service Level Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement. Should
deployment deficiencies occur, the Sheriffs Department should make every effort
to reallo'cate those resources to the shift where the deficiencies occurred. Should
the Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs Department Division
Chief shall meet with the Sheriffs 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 Sheriffs
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
4
B-6
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.

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.

shall be signed and authorized by the City and the Sheriff or his designee and
attached hereto as an Amendment to this Agreement.

Authorization (SH-AD 575) Form, of this Agreement under the procedures set forth
5
B-7
in Paragraphs 3.4 and 3.5 above.
