TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: C. LEE WEIGEL, CHIEF OF POLICE
CONTRACT PROVIDING THE USE OF PALM SPRINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT JAIL
FACILITIES TO CITY OF CATHEDRAL CITY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter
into a contractual agreement providing the use of Palm Springs Police
Department Jail facilities to the City of Cathedral City.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Cathedral City has requested that the City of Palm Springs enter
into a contract agreement with their city to provide their police department
with jail booking services. Cathedral City Police Department will transport their
prisoners to the Palm Springs Jail where the prisoner will be booked and
housed pending arraignment. A fee of Thirty Thousand ($30,000) Dollars per
calendar year is due and payable on April 1 each year for the booking of up to
three hundred (300) prisoners. If over 300 prisoners are booked into the Palm
Springs Police Department Jail, an additional fee of One Hundred ($100)
dollars per prisoner will be paid to the City of Palm Springs for these services.
The Palm Springs Police Department began providing this service to the City of
Cathedral City in July 1993. Due to the changes in laws, which required cities
to book prisoners with County facilities in order to be reimbursed for booking
fees, the contract with Cathedral City was terminated a few years ago. With
the recent adoption of Assemblyman Battin's legislature, cities may now be
reimbursed booking fees for prisoners booked into city facilities. Cathedral
City has once again requested to use our facilities to book their prisoners,
thereby generating revenue to the City of Palm Springs.
