2. |
If no law enforcement services agreement between the County of Orange and the City of Laguna Hills has been entered by June 30, 2022, delegate to the Sheriff-Coroner authority to execute a written amendment to this law enforcement services agreement that extends the term for a specified term between July 1, 2022, and August 31, 2022, and provides that the County will continue during the period of extension to provide all or a specified part of the law enforcement services previously provided to the City of Laguna Hills, and that the City of Laguna Hills will pay the full costs of such services. |

3. |
Delegate to the Sheriff-Coroner or designee authority to execute written amendments to this law enforcement services agreement that increase or decrease the total FY 2021-22 cost of services by one percent or less of $9,007,546 and that do not materially change other provisions of the agreement. |
|
4. |
Delegate to the Sheriff-Coroner or designee authority to execute an amendment to this agreement to substitute the City of Laguna Hills’ amended or new Traffic Violator Apprehension Program resolution, as long as the amendment does not materially change any other provision of this agreement. |

The total cost to the City of Laguna Hills for the FY 2021-22 agreement is $9,007,546, which includes regional/shared staff.
Agreement costs include salaries, wages, employee
benefits, services and supplies, transportation expenses, as well as division,
department and County (County-Wide Cost Allocation Plan) overhead. The FY 2021-22 cost is 8.29 percent higher
($689,354) than the current fiscal year final adjusted agreement of $8,318,192. The addition of one Crime Prevention
Specialist contributed to the increase.
Additionally, the net increase is due to updated salary and benefit
changes approved by the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs (AOCDS),
Association of County Law Enforcement Managers (ACLEM), Orange County Managers
Association (OCMA) and the Orange County Employees Association (OCEA). The AOCDS agreement was approved by the
Board on October 8, 2019. The Board
approved the ACLEM, OCMA and OCEA agreements on October 22, 2019.
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 Laguna Hills City Council approval before presenting the agreement to the Board for approval. The Laguna Hills City Council approved this agreement at its May 25, 2021, meeting.
