REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />AUGUST 5, 2014 <br />TITLE: <br />AGREEMENT WITH INTEGRATED LAW <br />AND JUSTICE AGENCY FOR ORANGE <br />COUNTY <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />995-1111005179 <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on I" Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2 I Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with the <br />Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange County ( ILJAOC), subject to non - substantive <br />changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Since June of 2006, the Santa Ana Police Department has been a Member Agency of the <br />Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange County ( ILJAOC), a Joint Powers Authority. The <br />JPA currently has 24 Members, representing each City that has a Municipal Police Department, <br />as well as the County of Orange for their identified Departments. The Member Agencies also <br />include the Superior Court of Orange County and the University of California at Irvine, on behalf <br />of their Police Department. The JPA was formed to allow Criminal Justice Agencies in Orange <br />County to jointly address new technology projects on a regional basis, as well as improved <br />business processes affecting the efficiency of the Criminal Justice System in Orange County. <br />Recently, the ILJAOC was asked by the California State University at Fullerton (CSUF), to <br />consider their request for full Membership in the ILJAOC on behalf of their Police Department. <br />The current JPA governance requires that any addition in membership necessitates the <br />concurrence of all legislative bodies of the existing 24 member agencies. It was unanimously <br />approved, and staff was directed to seek the formal approval from the existing agencies to <br />include CSUF as a Member Agency. In order to streamline the approval process in the future for <br />approving any new agencies, the amended language will allow the Governing Board, on a <br />unanimous approval of all the Member Agencies' voting members, to approve the addition of a <br />new Member Agency as long as there are no projected cost increases contemplated by the vote <br />for existing Member Agencies. <br />A slight adjustment has been made in Member Agency rates ( -.25% for UCI and CSUF <br />participation, which are not subject to the normal per capita served population formula applicable <br />to most of the Municipal Police Departments). The recommendation is made to more closely <br />align those Agencies with rates paid by other similar sized Departments in Orange County. In <br />addition, ILJAOC Treasurer reporting requirements will change from monthly to quarterly, <br />25F -1 <br />
