A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA 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 enforce-
ment services provided to them by the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department; and
WHEREAS, this condition was created because all expenses in-
curred 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 concerning the cost of supplying law
enforcement services to contract cities of Los
Angeles County;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Azusa resolves
as follows:
Section 1. That the City of Azusa 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 en-
forcement services for contract cities;
Section 2. That the City of Azusa respectfully urges
the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
to complete its study and report in suffi-
cient time that necessary changes may become
effective in the 1970-71 fiscal year.
Section 3. That a certified copy of this resolution
shall be forwarded to the Clerk of the Board
of Supervisors of Los Angeles County and to
each member of the Board, addressed to the
Board of Administration, 500 West Temple
Street, Los Angeles, California 90012.
Section 4. That the City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this resolution.
Adopted and approved this 2nd day of March, 1970.
