TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute an agreement, any subsequent amendments thereto, and any related necessary documents to provide law enforcement and security services to Long Beach Community College District for a period of three years, with the first year's estimated reimbursement of $2,846,268; and increase appropriations in the General Fund (GP) in the Police Department (PD) by $195,327. (Districts 5,6)
DISCUSSION
Since August 1, 2008, the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) has provided law enforcement and security services for the Long Beach City College (LBCC) Liberal Arts and Pacific Coast campuses under Agreement for Law Enforcement Services #31078 between City of Long Beach and Long Beach Community College District (LBCCD) for the three-year term of August 1, 2008 through July 31, 2011. A new agreement has been negotiated for the three-year term of August 1, 2011 through July 14, 2014.
The major terms and conditions of the new three-year agreement include LBCCD reimbursement to LBPD for personnel straight-time and benefits, overtime not to exceed 2,089 hours per year, training, supplies, equipment, and four police vehicles. LBPD personnel includes one Police Lieutenant, four Police Officers, fifteen Special Services Officer IIIs, and one Communications Dispatcher II to provide law enforcement and security services for the two LBCC campuses. Direct costs of $2,525,526 plus indirect costs of $320,742, total $2,846,268 for the August 1, 2011 through July 31, 2012 period. Indirect costs will be a flat 12.7 percent of direct costs.
This item was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Gary Anderson on September 13, 2011 and Director of Financial Management John Gross on September 22, 2011.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is requested on October 11, 2011 to expedite execution of the Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual reimbursement from LBCCD will be approximately $2,846,268 with costs for law enforcement and security services to be adjusted annually every August 1 during the Term of the Agreement for the effect of pay raises and cost increases. An appropriation increase in the General Fund (GP) in the Police Department (PD) in the amount of $195,327 is requested and will be fully offset by increased revenue. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
