SUBJECT: Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Contract
RECOMMENDATION:
nager
I recommend that the City contract with the County of Orange for periodic
supplemental law enforcement services.
DISCUSSION:
The Police Department has for many years contracted with the Orange County
Sheriff's Department for booking and transportation assistance over the 4th of
July holiday period. We anticipate requiring their services again this year.
Existing contracts have expired. Attached for your approval is a new five year
contract with the County of Orange for such services. The contract does not
commit the City to any services, but formalizes the arrangement should we
choose to do so.

I am forwarding four original sets of a Five Year Agreement with the County of Orange, Sheriff -
Coroner, for supplemental law enforcement services. The Agreement is for the period from July
1, 1996 through June 30, 2001. This Agreement will allow the Sheriff -Coroner to provide the City
of Newport Beach with assistance for the Fourth of July or any other event. As we discussed on
the phone today, this does not commit your City to using our services; the use of our services will
remain optional.
Please have your Council sign each of the four original sets and return them to me by May 30 so
that we may obtain approval from our Board of Supervisors.
If I can be of any further assistance, please call me at 834-6431.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

COUNTY BILLING POLICY
POLICY
ATTACHMENT A
All County agencies/departments/districts (County) governed by the Board of Supervisors
shall bill contracting entities for materiels and/or services provided under contract in
accordance with the following standardized billing and collection policy. Billing frequency is
dependent on whether the contract is a fixed price or actual cost contract. Payment due
date is designed to be both responsive to the County's cash flow needs and reasonable
enough as to not require special processing by the contracting entity. If payments are not
received by the required due dates, a late payment fee shall be computed and billed to the
contracting entity in accordance with the requirements of this procedure.
Nothing herein shall affect the liability, including prejudgment interest, of the contracting
party for services or materiels in as much as this is a policy to enact standard billing
practices.
DEFINITIONS
A. Contract for the purposes of this policy - A contract is a formal written agreement, a
purchase order from the contracting entity, or any other acceptable mutual
understanding between the contracting parties.
B. Received by the County - The phrase "received by the County," as used in Section VI of
this policy, refers to the date a payment is received by the County. It is defined as the
date the payment is in the County's possession. It is not the date the payment is posted
or deposited by the County.
III. FIXED PRICE CONTRACTS
A. Fixed Price (One-Time/Non-Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for a
one-time, non-recurring provision of materiels and/or services shall be issued no later
than five (5) working days after delivery by the County of the materiels and/or services.
Examples of such one-time, non-recurring provision of materiels and/or services might
be: a city contracting with the Sheriff for security service at a parade or sporting event;
or, a city purchasing a computer listing containing certain city -requested data. Payment
due date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
B. Fixed Price (Ongoing/Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for an
ongoing, recurring provision of materiels and/or services shall be issued according to the
following frequency:
1. Annual Billings that total $10,000 or less, per 12 -month period, shall be billed via one
(1) annual invoice. Annual invoices will be issued for each 12 -month period of the
contract, or portions thereof. Invoices shall be issued no later than five working days
after the beginning of each 12 -month period. Payment due date shall be invoice date
plus 30 days.
Page 1 of 4
2. Quarterly Billings that are greater than $10,000, but not more than $200,000 per 12 -
month period, shall be billed in quarterly installments. Quarterly invoices will be
issued representing the contract amount for each 12 -month period of the contract, or('
portions thereof, prorated into four (4) installments. Invoices shall be issued no later`
than 30 days after the beginning of each quarter. Payment due date shall be 60 days
after the beginning of each calendar quarter.
Monthly Billings that are greater than $200,000, per 12 -month period, shall be billed
in monthly installments. Monthly invoices will be issued representing the contract
amount for each 12 -month period of the contract, or portions thereof, prorated into 12
installments. Invoices shall be issued on or before the first day of each service
month. Payment due date shall be 30 days after the beginning of each service
month.
An example of a fixed price contract for ongoing, recurring provision of materiels and/or
services might be a city contracting with the Sheriff for law enforcement services.
IV. ACTUAL COST CONTRACTS
A. Actual Cost (One-Time/Non-Recurrinq Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for a
one-time, non-recurring provision of materiels and/or services shall be issued after
delivery by the County of the materiels and/or services and no later than 15 days after
actual cost data is available. Payment due date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
B. Actual Cost (Ongoing/Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for an
ongoing, recurring provision of materiels and/or services shall be issued on a monthly
basis and -shall represent the cost of materiels and/or services provided to the
contracting entity during the previous calendar month. Such invoices shall be issued no
later than 15 days after the close of the monthly billing period. If the County
agency/department/district does not utilize a monthly billing cycle, the invoice shall be
issued no later than 15 days after actual cost data is available. Payment due date shall
be invoice date plus 30 days.
Examples of actual cost contracts for the ongoing, recurring provision of materiels and/or
services might be a city contracting with the County for communications equipment
repair or waste disposal at a County landfill.
V. PAYMENT DUE DATES
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections II and III above, payment due date shall be at
least invoice date plus 30 days. If the County is late in issuing an invoice, the contracting
entity would always have at least invoice date plus 30 days to pay. If the County is early in
issuing an invoice, the contracting entity would still have a payment due date of either 60
days after the beginning of the quarter (quarterly invoices) or 30 days after the beginning of
the service month (monthly invoices).
(EXAMPLES: An invoice for October service, dated and issued October 8 (late) would have
a payment due date of November 7. An invoice for August service, dated and issued July 20
(early) would have a payment due date of August 30.)
Page 2 of 4
VI. LATE CHARGES
The late payment of any invoiced amount by a contracting entity will cause the County to
incur costs not contemplated by the County/contracting entity agreement, the exact amount
of such cost will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
costs such as administrative follow-up and processing of delinquent notices, increased
accounting costs, etc.
Late charges will be assessed in the following situations:
- Over-the-counter payments will be assessed a late charge if any payment is not received
by the County by the payment due date.
- Payments transmitted to the County via the U.S. Mail that have the payor's postage
meter mark will be assessed a late charge if any payment is not received by the County
by the payment due date plus one day.
- Payments transmitted to the County via the U.S. Mail that have a U.S. Post Office
postmark dated after the payment due date will be assessed a late charge.
The late charge assessed in each of these situations shall be three-quarters of one percent
(0.75%) of the payment due and unpaid plus $100.00 for late payments made within 30 days
of the payment due date. An additional charge of three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of
said payment shall be added for each additional 30 -day period that the payment remains
unpaid. Late charges shall be added to the payment and invoiced to the contracting entity in
accordance with this policy.
VII. COLLECTIONS
Any invoice remaining unpaid 90 days after the invoice date shall be referred to the Auditor -
Controller for subsequent collection action, such as deduction from contracting entity monies
on deposit with the County Treasurer in accordance with Government Code Section 907 and
any other applicable provision of law. Non-payment of invoices and applicable late charges
will constitute a breach of contract for which the County retains all legal remedies including
termination of the contract.
VIII. DISCOUNT FOR EARLY PAYMENT
Any payment received by the County from a contracting entity 20 days or more before the
payment due date shall be entitled to a discount of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%). If
the contracting entity takes a discount, and the payment is received by the County less than
20 days before the payment due date, County staff shall immediately notify the contracting
entity by telephone that the discount should not have been taken and that the balance is due
by the original payment due date.
If the balance is not received by the County in accordance with the dates as specified in
Section VII, applicable late charges shall be calculated on the balance due.

(_`
IX. DEFERRED REVENUE
At fiscal year end, any portion of revenue invoiced (not necessarily received) during the fiscal
year being closed out that represents charges or prepayment for materiels and/or services
for the upcoming fiscal year shall be reclassified from a revenue account to a deferred
revenue account (liability). In the new fiscal year the deferred revenue shall be reclassified
to a revenue account. (EXAMPLE: On June 1, 19X1, a city is invoiced $48,000 which
represents charges for the 12 -month period June 1, 19X1 to May 31, 19X2. The amount to
be reclassified to deferred revenue would be $44,000, representing 11/12ths of the total
amount. In July 19X1, the $44,000 would be reclassified to revenue.) Reclassification
entries shall be made by Auditor -Controller Agency Accounting units, or for those
agencies/departments/districts without such a unit, the agency/department/district shall notify
the Auditor -Controller of the amounts to be reclassified.
X. COST RECOVERY
All County agencies/department/districts shall include all costs of providing contracted
services in contract rates. Including all direct costs, allocated indirect costs such as
departmental and County (CWCAP) overhead, and cost of capital financing.
XI. EXISTING CONTRACTS
Billing terms and provisions contained in existing contracting entity agreements (existing as
of the date this policy is approved by the Board of Supervisors) shall remain in effect for the
life of the contract. However, when these existing contracts are renegotiated, they shall
contain the billing provisions as set forth in this policy.
XII. DEVIATIONS FROM POLICY
Deviations from this policy shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Proposed
deviations by agencies/departments/districts shall be submitted to the CAO for concurrence
in advance of filing an Agenda Item Transmittal (AIT) with the Clerk of the Board. The CAO,
or his/her designee, shall advise the agency/department/district of approval or disapproval of
the proposed deviations. If a County agency/department/district submits a contract to the
Board of Supervisors for approval, and the billing provisions in the contract deviate from this
policy, the agency/department/district shall specifically advise the Board of Supervisors in
the AIT of the deviation, the reason for the deviation, and of the CAO's recommendation
relative thereto.
