TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a Memorandum of Understanding, and any subsequent documents and amendments, with Long Beach Job Corps Center (LBJCC), to provide local law enforcement authority to enforce laws and conduct investigations on LBJCC premises, which are under federal jurisdiction, for a period of one year, with the option to review and renew for additional one-year periods annually. (District 7)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested for the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Long Beach Job Corps Center (LBJCC) to provide LBPD the authority to enforce laws and conduct investigations on LBJCC premises.
In 1998, LBJCC began operations at 1903 Santa Fe Avenue, where it provides career technical training and education programs for students ages 16 through 24. The campus is on federal property and under federal jurisdiction. LBJCC and LBPD entered into a MOU in 2007 to provide local law enforcement authority to enforce laws and conduct investigations on the campus.
LBJCC has requested that LBPD enter into a new MOU that will formalize changes as required by LBJCC and the federal government. The new MOU will be in effect July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, and subject to annual review and amendment by all parties. Either party wishing to terminate the MOU must submit written notice to the other party 30 days prior to the intended termination date.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Monica J. Kilaita on August 9, 2017 and by Budget Management Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on August 10, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on September 5, 2017, to ensure the MOU is in place expeditiously.
FISCAL IMPACT
The MOU provides local law enforcement authority to enforce laws and conduct investigations on the LBJCC campus. There is no fiscal or local job impact associated with this recommendation.
