MOU with Vera Institute of Justice; Agreement with Immigrant Defenders Law Center <br />October 17, 2017 <br />Page 3 <br />provides removal defense services in Los Angeles. ImmDef was selected due to their extensive <br />experience in providing immigration legal defense using the universal representation model. In <br />addition, ImmDef has an expansive network of attorneys to support their efforts to expand their <br />services to Santa Ana. As part of their proposed program, ImmDef will open a location in Santa <br />Ana, where they will be able to serve Santa Ana residents and receive referrals. Based on their <br />proposal that includes the combined $165,000 in funds, ImmDef anticipates to serve between 35 <br />to 40 clients; their estimated case cost is between $4,125 and $4,714. While costs per case can <br />vary due to the unique nature of each case, ImmDefs estimate is within the per -case range cited <br />by other LSPs). Overall, ImmDef presented a more comprehensive and responsive proposal. <br />ImmDefs proposal is included as an attachment to Exhibit 2. <br />An agreement between the City of Santa Ana and ImmDef is required to ensure delivery of the <br />immigration legal defense services (Exhibit 2). In order to meet Vera's requirements for Santa <br />Ana to receive the catalyst grant award, ImmDefs operations must launch by no later than <br />November 1, 2017. However, Vera may provide additional time for ImmDef to become <br />operational. City staff recommends approval of the Memorandum of Understanding with Vera to <br />join the SAFE Cities Network and the agreement with ImmDef to provide immigration legal <br />defense services. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds in the amount of $65,000 are available for expenditure in FY 2017-18 in the City <br />Managers Office - Contract Services -Professional account (no. 01105015-62300). <br />Robert C.
