Reimbursements for Public Safety Services Provided to the Port
FROM:
RE:
Over the past two years, City staff have been negotiating with the San Diego Unified Port
District (SDUPD) concerning reimbursements for police and fire services provided by the
City to the non-tax-paying properties of the Port. An agreement was reached this week for
the following reimbursements:
1. For the past fiscal year (1991-92), the City will be reimbursed a total of
approximately $396,000.
2. For the current fiscal year (1992-93), the City will be reimbursed a base figure of
roughly $396,000, which will be adjusted for additional salary and benefit expenses
incurred by the City. The actual total will also depend upon (a) the number of
police calls for service on the non-tax paying properties on the tidelands (the
$396,000 base assumes that the FY 1992-93 call volume will approximate 1991-92
levels) and (b) the actual police and fire wage increases for the year (an average 4%
increase would raise FY 93 reimbursements to approximately $412,000).
3. For FY 1990-91, the City will be reimbursed a total of $88,333, adjusted upward
to account for wage and wage-related increases incurred by the SDUPD in that year.
The base figure of $88,333 represents the total reimbursement under the pre-
existing 1989-90 contract for police servcies. Staff anticipate that reimbursements
for 1990-91 will range between $92,000-$95,000.
The proposed agreement is expected to go before the Port Commission on August 25th.
Once approved, the City will invoice the SDUPD for the amounts due for fiscal years 1990-
91 and 1991-92, approximately $489,000. The reimbursements for FY 1992-93 will be
billed and paid quarterly. Overall, the City expects to receive approximately $901,000
during the current year, covering reimbursements for the three fiscal years 1990-91
through 1992-93. In the current year's budget, $495,000 was budgeted for current and
past reimbursements from the SDUPD. As such, a net increase in revenue of $406,000 is
anticipated.
In the near future, staff from the City and SDUPD will develop a contractual agreement
covering reimbursements for public safety services. This proposed contract will be brought
to Council for approval.
The recent agreement with the SDUPD represents the culmination of the work of staff
throughout the City over a two-year period.
