TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute an agreement, and any subsequent amendments, with Long Beach Community College District, to provide law enforcement and security services, in an estimated amount of $3,102,526, for a period of five years, adjusted annually every year on October 1, for cost increases.
(Districts 5,6)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested for the City to enter into an agreement with Long Beach Community College District (LBCC), to provide law enforcement and security services. Since 2003, the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) and the Department of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications (DPEC) have provided law enforcement and security services to LBCC Liberal Arts and Pacific Coast campuses. A new agreement will be negotiated for the five-year term of October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2022.
The major terms and conditions of the new agreement will include LBCC’s 100 percent reimbursement to LBPD and DPEC for personnel straight time and benefits, overtime, training, supplies, equipment, fleet and technology. City personnel include Police Lieutenants, Police Officers, Special Services Officers, and Public Safety Dispatchers to provide law enforcement and security services for the two LBCC campuses.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Monica J. Kilaita on September 6, 2017 and by Budget Management Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on September 20, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on October 17, 2017, to ensure the contract is in place expeditiously.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of services provided under this agreement will be fully offset by reimbursement revenue from LBCC. The FY 18 reimbursement from LBCC is estimated to be $3,102,526, including direct and indirect costs. The FY 18 amount is budgeted in the General Fund (GF) in the Police Department (PD) and the Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications Department (DC). Charges for law enforcement and security services will be adjusted annually on October 1, during the term of the agreement for cost increases. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
