FOR FY 2005-06 & FY 2006-07.

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that:

WHEREAS, the County of San Mateo has contracted to provide supplemental law enforcement and public safety communications to the City of East Palo Alto (“City”) since 1996; and

WHEREAS, The most recent Agreement (Resolution No. 66339, adopted 11/04/03) expired June 30, 2005, and the County and City have been negotiating service and reimbursement levels since that date, and this Board finds it is necessary and desirable to continue to contract to provide a reduced level of law enforcement and public safety communications support for the City, in order to help the City assure public safety for its residents and to help protect nearby County unincorporated area residents; and

WHEREAS, this Board has been presented, for its consideration, an Agreement with the City, whereby the County would continue to provide services to the City until June 30, 2007, in exchange for City reimbursement to the County of a total of $2,588,122 for said period; and

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of East Palo Alto has executed or will execute said Agreement, and this Board has now been presented with a draft of said Agreement, and has examined it and found it to be satisfactory, and desires to authorize the County Manager to finalize contract proceedings with the City, including the authority to negotiate minor issues and procedures not substantively altering the intent and financial impact of said draft Agreement, and following a final review by County Counsel, to then execute said Agreement on behalf of the County;

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED THAT: the County Manager of San Mateo County be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to execute the Agreement between the County of San Mateo and the City of East Palo Alto for and on behalf of the County, including negotiation of minor adjustments as may be desired by the City and are acceptable to the County, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest his signature thereto.
