G. Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement and Annual\nService Level Authorization with the Los Angeles County\nSheriff’s Department The City of Rosemead contracts with\nthe Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department ("LASD") for\nlaw enforcement services. The Municipal Law Enforcement\nServices Agreement is a standardized 5-year agreement that\nallows LASD to provide law enforcement services to contract\ncities. Through the execution of the MLESA, services\nperformed and requested by the City are developed in\nconjunction with LASD and indicated on an Annual Service\nLevel Authorization Form ("SH-AD 575 Form"). The previous\nMLESA was approved in June 2019 and will expire June 30,\n2024. Each year, the City of Rosemead adopts a SH-AD 575\nForm, which provides a detailed breakdown of service levels\nand costs for each Fiscal Year ("FY"). On May 22, 2024, the\nCity was advised by LASD - Contract Law Enforcement\nBureau ("CLEB") that the annual rate renewal process\nresulted in the following increases, 3.44% for a Deputy\nSheriff Service Unit and 3.17% for a Sergeant. Additionally,\nthe liability surcharge will increase by 0.5% from 12% to\n12.5%. The finalized FY 2024-25 SH-AD 575 Form has not\nbeen provided yet; therefore, staff determined the estimated\nincrease based on the draft provided. Law enforcement\nservice levels are expected to remain the same with 22\nfunded positions and equipment purchases. The FY 2024-25\ncost is estimated to be $10,586,362.\nRecommendation: That the City Council authorize the City\nManager to execute the Municipal Law Enforcement Services\nAgreement; and approve the service level authorization for FY\n2024-25 and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute all\nnecessary documents with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's\nDepartment.\nStaff Report
