RESOLUTION NO. ;i.elJ 4///3
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA URGING THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO
CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE INQUIRY INTO
THE COST OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
SUPPLIED BY THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO CONTRACT CITIES.
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Grand Jury recently
received a report from an independent accounting firm which disclosed
that contract cities in the Los Angeles County have not paid the full
cost of law enforcement services provided to them by the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department; and
WHEREAS, this condition was created because all expenses
incurred in supplying this service to cities under contract with
the County were not included in the charges made to these cities and
this resulted in a shifting of a part of the cost to all taxpayers of
Los Angeles County causing a disproportionate tax assessment on
residents of independent cities of Los Angeles County unrelated to
the services received from the County; and
WHEREAS, the County Board of Supervisors has requested the
County Administrative Officer to provide it with information con-
cerning the cost of supplying law enforcement services to contract
cities of Los Angeles County;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Arcadia
respectfully urges the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to
implement Report No.2 to the Grand Jury for 1969 on the cost of
providing law enforcement services for contract cities.
