RE: 2013 Law Enforcement Contract
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The Chanhassen City Council approves the 2013 Law Enforcement Contract
with Carver County."
Approval of this item requires a majority vote of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
Attached to this report is the proposed 2013 Contract for Police Services with
the Carver County Sheriff s Office. The City of Chanhassen contracts for full -
time equivalents (FTEs).
For 2013, the CCSO has made beneficial changes to the calculation of deputy's
costs, using only the average patrol salaries and not including the jail operation
in the averages. Also in 2013, we will be upgrading the day Corporal to a day
Sergeant. This will provide more cohesive supervision of the patrol deputies.
The proposed contract for 2013 will include 15 sworn officers and 7 vehicles
divided into the following structure:
PERSONNEL COSTS
8 FTE Patrol Deputy (2184 hours)
1 FTE Patrol Deputy (2080 hours)
2 FTE Sergeants (2184 hours)
1 FTE Sergeant (2080 hours)
1 FTE Liaison Lieutenant (2080 hours)
1 FTE Investigator (2080 hours)
= $678,704
= $81,073
= $229,226
= $101,310
= $120,750
= $83,735
1 FTE School Resource Deputy (2080 hours) = $82,404

VEHICLE COSTS
4 Patrol Vehicles
Investigator Vehicle
Liaison Lieutenant Vehicle
School Resource Vehicle
TOTAL COST
$65,020
$5,063
$3,300
$3,393
= $1,453,978
($1,424,651 in 2011)
The contract does not provide for overtime, which may be required to backfill
deputies during vacations or other leave periods, or to provide staff for court
appearances. The Sheriff's Office is recommending that the city plan for an
additional $60,000 in overtime. Overtime is charged based on actual use.
In addition to the contract amount, the City of Chanhassen has historically
participated in the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force (SWMDTF). For 2013,
the cost of participation is $2,100 (same rate since 2005). These costs are paid
directly to SWMDTF.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Chanhassen City Council approve the attached
contract for police services with the Carver County Sheriff's Office in the
amount of $1,453,978 for 2013 policing services. This action requires a
majority vote of the City Council for approval.
