FROM: Executive Director - Airports
MODIFICATION NO, 2 TO LAW ENFORCEMENT REIMBURSABLE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA) AND THE
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve reimbursement agreement
Modification No. 2 with the TSA which replaces in its entirety the previous version
of the Reimbursable Agreement for law enforcement officer (LEO) services for
flexible law enforcement response at Palm Springs International Airport.
SUMMARY:
This action would increase police presence at the airport and allow for
reimbursement for the costs from the TSA. Modification No. 2 adds additional
funding to the Agreement for the period of October 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004.
BACKGROUND:
The TSA have allowed airports to return to flexible response to the security
checkpoint which means officers need not be posted in close proximity to the
security checkpoint at all times. The TSA offered to help fund some of the small
airports in their effort to meet the flexible response criteria, and City Council
approved the original reimbursement for additional law enforcement with the
understanding that federal appropriations would be used to cover the costs of two
additional officers assigned at the airport.
The agreement is in four one year increments which is dependent upon Congress
appropriating funds. Modification No. 2 adds additional funding to the Agreement
for the period of October 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004. If for any reason the
program is cancelled the officers would be absorbed via attrition back into the Police
Department. This is a TSA standard form reimbursement agreement containing
security sensitive information which may not be amended and is on file with the City
Clerk's office.
Attached please find a Minute Order and Modification No. 2 for 'ty Council
consideration.
