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.
