City Council Report
City Council Meeting: April 11, 2006
Agenda Item: .1 J
To:
Mayor and City Council
From:
Craig Perkins, Director - Environmental and Public Works Management
Subject:
General Services Agreement Between the City of Santa Monica and the
County of Los Angeles
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate a
General Services Agreement with the County of Los Angeles for a five-year period
through June 30, 2011.
Executive Summary
The City from time to time requires services from County agencies. These services,
which may include street maintenance, animal control, tract map checking, health
services, engineering and emergency services, are provided under an umbrella
agreement between the County and the City. Such agreements have been executed in
prior years to allow the City to engage County services quickly when needed. The
proposed General Services Agreement does not cover lifeguard services for which the
City and County have negotiated separate agreements. In the past, the City has not
made extensive use of County services. The City is under no obligation to make use of
County services unless and until we review and agree to the rates charged by the
County at the time services are requested. The County Auditor-Controller determines
1
the costs of individual services annually. Rates proposed in past years were
reasonable.
Discussion
Previous Council Actions
The City Council last approved a five-year General Services Agreement with the County
in July 2001.
Budget/Financial Impact
Departments which use County services charge the costs to already budgeted
accounts. The execution of this agreement has no additional budget/financial impact.
