Title
UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The District provides law enforcement, marine firefighting, and certain emergency response services throughout its jurisdiction (collectively, the "tidelands") through the San Diego Harbor Police Department (Harbor Police). These services are provided both to taxpaying and non-taxpaying parcels on tidelands with the largest concentration of services occurring within the City of San Diego. On tidelands, the District also contracts with its member cities to provide certain services specifically to non-taxpaying tidelands (defined as those parcels which do not pay possessory-interest tax such as parks and roads). The scopes and rates for these services are memorialized in Municipal Services Agreements (MSAs). The District currently has MSAs with all five member cities.
Three MSAs - Coronado, National City, and Chula Vista - will require baseline rate and services negotiations with resulting new rates and updated scope of services to take effect on July 1, 2022. With respect to Coronado, an entirely new agreement will need to be negotiated since the existing MSA expires on its terms, as extended, on June 30, 2022. To better prepare both the District and member cities for budgeting for Fiscal Year 2023, staff is bringing this informational update to the Board on the status of these discussions. Staff will continue working with Coronado, National City, and Chula Vista and will return to the Board with recommendations regarding compensation for services provided under the MSAs.
