Subject:
title
Approve and authorize an Intergovernmental Service Agreement between the City of Huntington Beach and the City of Costa Mesa for detention of female arrestees for 647(f) PC (drunk in public) and 11550(a) HS (under the influence of a controlled substance) at the Huntington Beach Police Department Jail
body
Statement of Issue:
The City of Costa Mesa has requested the continued use of the Huntington Beach Police Department’s (HBPD) booking and jail facilities in situations where the Costa Mesa Police Department (CMPD) have arrested females for the specific charges of 647(f) PC (drunk in public) and 11550(a) HS (under the influence of a controlled substance).
Financial Impact:
If the attached Intergovernmental Service Agreement is approved, it is estimated that the City will receive a minimum of $15,000 annually.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Intergovernmental Service Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Huntington Beach (“City”) and the City of Costa Mesa (“Agency”) for detention of arrestees at the Huntington Beach Police Department Jail for the City of Costa Mesa Police Department.”
end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City of Costa Mesa cannot accommodate the booking of female detainees at their facility due to space and personnel issues. Statistics provided by the Costa Mesa Police Department indicate they will book approximately four females at the Huntington Beach Police Department’s (HBPD) jail per month for the specified charges.
Housing this number of inmates per month is within HBPD’s capabilities and would not negatively impact jail operations. It is estimated that the bookings from the City of Costa Mesa will generate a minimum of $15,000.00 annually in the General Fund.
Environmental Status:
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Goal 8 - Public Safety, Strategy A - Community-wide comprehensive risk reduction program to optimize public safety's emergency response and reduce the number of calls.
