LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTRACT - CONTRACT CITIES
BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The proposed contract for law enforcement services represents a five year agreement
for police protection through the Office of the Sheriff within the city limits of
Cupertino, Saratoga and Los Altos Hills.
This agreement replaces the five year contract scheduled to conclude on June 30,
1997. In its negotiations for the replacement contract, the Office of the County
Executive, and the Office of the Sheriff, worked with County GSA Communications
to incorporate the concepts of "one contract service price" and "full cost recovery" in
any contract language presented to the contract cities.
Both concepts have been successfully included in this agreement. Contract language
allows for one price to be estimated for police protection. This one price contains all
necessary support costs, including emergency communication. This amount is
shown on Exhibit A page A-4 as $7,537,609 in projected costs for FY 1997-1998.
The agreement also replaces the "cap on costs" language with "full cost recivery"
wording which allows annual adjustments to the cost of providing service. This is
accomplished by referencing the March to March Consumer Price Index for San
Francisco, Oakland, San Jose - for the Urban Wage Earners. The language
acknowledges the County need to obtain full cost recovery as appropriate.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The law enforcement contract would not be approved and payment for police
protection services would terminate on June 30, 1997.
