SHERIFF'S OFFICE - D. THOMPSON

Approve Reciprocal Intrastate Transportation of Prisoners Services Agreement by and between County of Los Angeles and County of San Benito that shall be continuous until terminated by either party.

SBC FILE NUMBER: 110

For the past ten years the Sheriff's Office has contracted with Los Angeles County for intrastate prisoner transport provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. Historically the County would pay Los Angeles, per prisoner, for mileage and meals averaging approximately $1,000 per year.  The agreement before you today does not have a payment factor but rather is a reciprocal agreement.

Both San Benito and Los Angeles have transportation teams that travel between counties in California dropping off and picking up inmates.  Partnering will reduce the time and expense of long haul transports.  Both counties agree to provide reciprocal inmate transportation services to one another at no charge. 

The term of this agreement is indefinite until terminated by either party upon sixty (60) calendar days written notice.  

1). Approve Reciprocal Intrastate Transportation of Prisoners Services Agreement by and between County of Los Angeles and County of San Benito that shall be continuous until terminated by either party; and

2).  Authorize chair to sign
