	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1087, as amended, Brownley. Cities and counties: public safety
services: contracts.
   Existing law requires a county that provides services through its
appropriate departments, boards, commissions, officers, or employees
to any city pursuant to a contract or law, to charge the city all
those costs that are incurred in providing those services.
   This bill would, commencing January 1, 2012, provide that, unless
otherwise stipulated in the contract, if a city that contracts with a
county for public safety services through the county notifies the
county of its intent to terminate the contract, then the county is
authorized to require the city to provide a comprehensive fiscal
analysis relating to the ability of the city to provide public safety
services, as specified. 
   This bill would also express a legislative finding and
declarations that its provisions shall apply to all cities, including
charter cities. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  yes
  no  . State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 51351 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   51351.  (a) Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract, if a city
that contracts with a county to receive public safety services
through the county notifies the county of its intent to terminate the
contract, then the county may require the city to provide a
comprehensive fiscal analysis relating to the ability of that city to
provide public safety services to its residents. This fiscal
analysis shall be conducted by a mutually agreed upon independent
auditing firm  ,   or  the county auditor
controller,  or the State Controller  and shall
include the following:
   (1) The projected costs to the city for providing public safety
services and facilities during the 10 fiscal years following the
creation of the public safety services agency. This analysis shall
include, but shall not be limited to, a comparison of costs based on
other independent public safety services agency costs in cities with
comparable size, crime rates, minimum staffing, and other factors.
   (2) The revenue of the city during the prior 10 years and the
projected revenue of the city over the next 10 years.
   (3) The effects of the costs and revenues on the city and its
ability to fully fund the public safety services agency.
   (4) Any other information and analysis necessary to determine the
fiscal ability of the city to fund a public safety services agency.
   (b) Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract, costs of the
fiscal analysis will be paid by the  party  
county  requesting the analysis.
   (c) This section shall apply to contracts entered into  or
renewed  on and after January 1, 2012.
   SEC. 2.    The Legislature finds and declares that to
protect the public safety of the residents of this state,
determining a city's fiscal ability to provide public safety services
after it terminates a public safety services contract with a county
is an issue of statewide concern and not a municipal affair, as that
term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California
Constitution. Therefore, this act shall apply to all cities,
including charter cities.
