This message is from an EXTERNAL SENDER - be CAUTIOUS, particularly with links and attachments

Good Morning Captain Escobedo,

We would like to thank you, LT Aguilera and LT Montoya for taking the time to meet with us yesterday to discuss
contract city minute reporting and billings.

In our meeting you presented using a PowerPoint presentation that outlines background information and explanation on
how service units are broken down (and calculated). 1 think you referred to the Powerpoint Presentation as the "CLEB
101". We would like to request a copy of that PowerPoint presentation at your earliest convenience.

Thanks again,

Jose

 Benefits of Contracting
 Since 1954, The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) has provided contract municipal law enforcement to
cities in Los Angeles County. LASD currently provides these services to 42 of the 88 contract cities in the County.

 Cost savings are based upon economies of scale and a consolidated model. All cities pay the same rates regardless of
service levels or city size.
 Municipal Contracting Study (Nelligan, 2011): California Contract Cities pay on average 39% less per capita for law enforcement service
vs a city with its own police department.

 Local control through the City Manager

 Service Area Manager
 LASD works with city officials to establish unique goals and programs to create a safe community.

 LASD is accountable to city officials and the community service

 Community Advisory Committee
 Local Sheriff’s Volunteers & Reserves
 Community Academies
 Inspector General

What creates the foundation for LASD as it
relates to contract law enforcement services?
 Board of Supervisor’s Policy

 51350 of the California Government Code, commonly known as the Gonsalves Law

51350. A county which provides services through its appropriate departments, boards, commissions, officers or employees, to
any city pursuant to contract or as authorized by law shall charge the city all those costs which are incurred in providing the
services so contracted or authorized. A county shall not charge a city contracting for a particular service, either as a direct or
an indirect overhead charge, any portion of those costs which are attributable to services made available to all portions of the
county, as determined by resolution of the board of supervisors, or which are general overhead costs of operation of the
county government. General overhead costs, for the purpose of this section, are those costs which a county would incur
regardless of whether or not it provided a service under contract to a city.

Any determination of general overhead costs shall be subject to court review as to the reasonableness of such

determination This section does not apply to the contract or agreement in effect on December 31, 1983, made by a

county.

What is a Deputy Sheriff Service Unit
 The Deputy Sheriff Service Unit is the primary description of the law enforcement service provided by the Sheriff’s Department.

 40 Hour Non-Relief Deputy Sheriff Service Unit

 A one Deputy unit assigned to work 40 hours per week. There is no relief when the Deputy is off work for benefit time (vacation, holiday, military leave,
etc…).
 40 Hour With Relief Deputy Sheriff Service Unit
 A unit assigned to work 40 hours per week. One Deputy assigned. There is relief when the Deputy is off work for benefit time.
 Scheduled for deployment on eight hour shifts – five days per week or ten hour shifts – four days per week.
 56 Hour Deputy Sheriff Service Unit
 A unit assigned to work 56 hours per week. More than one Deputy assigned There is relief when the Deputies are off work for benefit time.
 Scheduled for deployment on eight hour shifts – seven days per week.
 70 Hour Deputy Sheriff Service Unit
 A unit assigned to work 70 hours per week. More than one Deputy assigned. There is relief when the Deputies are off work for benefit time.
 Scheduled for deployment on ten hour shifts – seven days per week.

 The Sheriff’s Department generally does not contract for a specific number of personnel, but for a specific level of service (e.g., 5
days a week, 7 days a week).
 The necessary number of personnel is then provided to ensure that the specified service level is properly maintained despite
employee vacations, sick time, and compensatory and elective leave.

*Based on leave time taken including holidays, sick leave, vacations, bereavement, military, comp time, and RDO’s. The average employee
will take off approximately 37 days per year using variances. The Non-Relief unit assumes that the average employee will work
approximately 224 productive work days annually (1789 annual hours x 60 minutes per hour = 107,340 annual minutes/480 minutes per
shift = 224 productive work days annually)

**May be deployed as 4 Days x 10 hr. Relief Included depending on station deployment configuration (i.e 4-10 Schedule)

Cost Recovery Through the Cost Model
 Per Gonzalves: A county, by law shall charge the city all those costs which are
incurred in providing the services so contracted or authorized.
 The goal: Determine what it cost the Sheriff’s Department to staff a particular
Deputy Sheriff’s Service Unit with a Deputy Sheriff in a radio car out on patrol.
 The Auditor “costs” each organizational unit within the Department

 The individual units are classified as:

 Line
 County-wide
 Charged Support
 Excluded Support
