New agreement

 

The proposed agreement includes a mutual indemnification provision. The non-standard indemnification provisions used by the State of California (State) were reviewed and approved by CEO-Office of Risk Management, as both public entities are both highly self-insured. The County Agreement also authorizes Sheriff to enforce the City of Costa Mesa (City) Municipal Code during the term of the Agreement. CEO-Office of Risk Management has reviewed and approved the non-standard language, as acceptable for Sheriff to provide security since the Orange County Fair is held on State property. A Risk Assessment of Insurance Terms Form is attached (Attachment C).


The rates to provide law enforcement services at the Orange County Fair are determined by Sheriff and include salaries and wages, benefits, services and supplies and indirect costs, which include County-Wide Cost Allocation Plan, division and department overheads. Costs are 100 percent reimbursed by the State.

 

A pre-planning meeting is held annually with representatives of the State’s 32nd District Agricultural Association during which Sheriff recommends the level of service required and to establish the maximum obligation for State budgetary purposes. For the 2024 Orange County Fair, the maximum obligation is $1,035,000. The increase is due to OC Fair requesting additional staff.

 

This agreement is submitted for approval less than 30 days prior to the start of the proposed agreement due to an extended negotiation period over the terms and conditions in the agreement, and the need to have the County Fair and Events Center Board approval before presenting the agreement to the Board for approval. The Orange County Fair and Events Center Board approved the budget for the 2024 Orange County Fair at its April 25, 2024, public hearing. 

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

Appropriations and revenue for this agreement will be included in the Sheriff-Coroner's FY 2024-25 Budget for Budget Control 060, based on 2024 actual amounts. There will be no cost to the County for providing these services because the State will fully reimburse the County.
