factors.
4. Sustained Staffing Shortfalls

Optional, Supplemental law enforcement services concerning continuous
staffing of this contract.
b. MCSO’s failure to staff a contracted duty post for sixty (60) consecutive
days or more for any reason may result in an Annual Credit to be applied
to the Personnel Services section of the next Annual Worksheet Exhibit A.
C. Establishment of Service Priorities
1. Personnel Utilization. MCSO District personnel shall be deployed and utilized in
the safest, most efficient manner to meet the needs of the Town and MCSO, as
determined by the MCSO District Commander in consultation with the Town
Manager and consistent with the overall contracted level of service.

meet as needed to review progress and establish priorities for the delivery of Law

relevant crime and incident data.
b. Short-term or incidental deployments of additional resources will
be at no additional cost to the Town.

Office shall maintain at least one substation facility within the corporate limits of the Town,

6. Removal of Assigned Staff. The Town, acting through the Town Manager shall
have the right to request in writing that any staff assigned to service within the
Town by the Sheriff’s Office be reassigned or otherwise removed from service
within the Town. When such request is made, the Sheriff’s Office shall comply as
soon as reasonably practical, but in any case, within no more than three weeks after
such request is made.
7. Training. All Training of MCSO staff will be provided by the Maricopa County
Sheriff’s Office. Requests for MCSO employees to attend training programs
sponsored by the Town require the Sheriff’s pre-authorization.
G. Reports and Information
1. Reporting. This Law Enforcement Services Agreement is limited to law
enforcement service delivery and the management thereof. The terms of this
Agreement provide for Reports as outlined in Section I, Subsection A, above.
17
Reports will be presented consistent with current MCSO reporting technology and
reporting formats.
2. Information Requests. The Town Manager may request additional law
enforcement service information that is not included in the reports by sending a
written request the MCSO Executive Chief of Enforcement or to the Chief Deputy.
3. Financial/Administrative Information. Requests from Town officials for financial
and other administrative information that are not applicable to day-to-day law

III. REIMBURSEMENT COSTS AND CHARGES FOR SERVICE
A. Reimbursement for Law Enforcement Services
1. Worksheet to Determine Reimbursement Amount. The Town agrees to reimburse
the Sheriff’s Office for all Law Enforcement Services rendered as outlined in the
attached annualized Worksheet (Exhibit A) beginning October 1, 2023 through
June 30, 2024).
a. The Worksheet (Exhibit A) template and calculation methodology is used
for all MCSO contracted law enforcement service with Cities and
Towns.
b. Changes to level of service effected by Amendment will result in a new
annualized Worksheet (Exhibit A) showing the impact of the change for
implementation coincidental to the effective date.
i. Effective dates for implementation will be 90 to 180 days
following governing body approval.
ii. The Town will be charged 1/12 the new annualized rate effective
with implementation.
iii. If MCSO is unable to provide increased resources for increased
services by the implementation date parties will agree on a new
date and the increase to the monthly amount payable will be
delayed or pro-rated, accordingly.
B. Annual Review of Costs.
The reimbursement costs for this Agreement are reviewed and revised on an annual
basis. The Sheriff’s Office recognizes the Town’s need to have information early for its
budget and planning process.
1. Annual Cost Notification. By February 20 of each year that falls within the term
of this Agreement, or any extension thereof, the Sheriff’s Office will provide the
Town Manager an updated Worksheet (Exhibit A) that indicates the calculated
annualized amount for Law Enforcement Services for the coming fiscal year.
18
a. Unforeseeable and unavoidable cost increases effective with the coming
fiscal year but unknown at the time of the February 20 issuance of
Worksheet (Exhibit A), may only be passed through to the Town pursuant
to an amendment to this Agreement.
b. Explanation of Cost Changes. An explanation of cost variances by
Worksheet Exhibit A. section from the current fiscal year will be explained
in the Annual Cost Notification.
2. The MCSO, the County or the Town cannot arbitrarily change costs. Each annual
preparation of the Worksheet Exhibit A. shall employ consistent methodology
applicable to all Sheriff’s Office contract cities and towns.
The annual office-wide general fund vacancy rate from the previous fiscal year
ended shall be applied to the next annual Worksheet Exhibit A Special Pay section
when continuous vacancies result in unfilled posts and extraordinary overtime
across the MCSO Patrol Districts. An extraordinary, sustained vacancy rate would
be greater than 8%.
3. Annual review of sustained unfilled duty posts. Beginning with the FY 2024 Cost
update, MCSO will review its District VII position staffing FTE with payroll
records of the most recent fiscal year closed (FY 2022). All District positions
will be included in the review, contract worksheet positions and optional,
supplemental positions. District position numbers that are vacant for (2) two
consecutive months or more for any reason—unfilled, military leave, sick leave,
or administrative leave will be included in an Annual Credit calculation.
Sustained deployments of supplemental FTE assigned to the contract and not cited
on Worksheet Exhibit A. for 60 consecutive days or more for any reason will
be considered in the Annual Credit calculation and proposed as a credit offset.
4. Annual Credit. The Town will be credited for positions identified in the annual
review where posts were unfilled for two consecutive months. The credit will
commence with the third month of the vacancy through the month in which the
post is filled.
a. The cost reimbursement calculation for each month is 1/12 of the
annualized cost for each vacant post's market range title including benefits,
workers comp and unemployment. Worksheet Exhibit A for the
corresponding year of the vacancies will be used, e.g. FY 2022 records,
FY 2022 Worksheet costs.
b. Credit offset. Costs for sustained supplemental positions assigned to the
District for two consecutive months or more will be calculated in the same
manner as the Annual Credit and presented in the total for the Annual
Credit as an offset.
c. The final/net Annual Credit will be applied to the Personnel Services
Section of Worksheet Exhibit A. and included in the Annual Cost
Notification.
19
C. Explanation of Charges
The contracted level of Service under this agreement is 3.6 Beats. The Sheriff’s
Office annual cost Worksheet (Exhibit A) shall be beat-driven and prepared with the
following sections:
l. Personnel Services. The premise for the methodology used for calculating
Personnel Services is cost recovery using FTE (full-time equivalents) that align
with the contracted level of service.
a. Annual full-time hours per FTE (full time equivalent) are 2088.
b. Average Hourly Base Pay: The MCSO Patrol district-wide hourly regular
pay average by market range title for the current fiscal year.
c. The Variable Benefits Rate Charge (retirement system, FICA, Medicare)
using the retirement system applicable to the position type, is the current
fiscal year rate.
d. The Fixed Benefit (Health Care costs) amount is the current year fixed
benefit annual cost.
e. Workers’ compensation and unemployment are employer payroll
expenses are allocated per FTE.
f. The Staffing Requirements applicable to MCSO’s contracted law
enforcement are:
i. 5 Patrol Deputy (LEO) FTE are required to staff one deputy
position around the clock. The number of patrol deputies on duty
around the clock approximate the number of contract beats. This
contract is 3.6 Beats and requires 18 Patrol Deputy FTE staffing.
ii. The Detective staffing represents Investigative effort at a level of
2.55 LEO FTE for this contract. Detective staffing may or may
not be housed at the District substation.
iii. This contract will be staffed with five (5) sergeant positions for

iv. Lieutenants, and Captains are allocated on an established
number of lower ranking LEO (law enforcement officer) FTE.
v. This contract will be staffed with 1 FTE for Deputy Service
Aide (Law Enforcement Services Officer) and 1 FTE Clerical/
Administrative Assistant.
vi. The Dispatcher/Communications allocation is determined by the
previous year’s number of calls for service/incidents that occurred
applied as a percent to Dispatch Costs that is converted to an FTE.
This allocation is calculated annually.
20
g. The Town may request and fund Optional, Supplemental FTE allocations.
i. Allocations are contingent upon MCSO’s ability to staff them.
ii. Authorized supplemental FTE allocations by market
range title will be incorporated in Worksheet (Exhibit A) with
“supplemental” notations. This contract includes:
LEO School Resource Officer (1 FTE)

i. Special Pay
i. Overtime
Overtime cost recovery is calculated using actual overtime cost
from the previous fiscal year closed plus current variable benefits
by District to arrive at an annual cost per sworn eligible FTE.
ii. Shift Differential
Shift Differential cost recovery is calculated using actual
differential from the previous fiscal year closed by District plus
current year variable benefits to arrive at an annual cost per
sworn eligible FTE.
iii. Regular Over Budget
Regular Over Budget cost recovery is calculated by multiplying
the new base rates in the worksheet by 24 (hours) by 10 holidays
plus the current benefit rate for a cost per beat. That cost is
divided by the number of contracted sworn FTEs for a cost per
FTE.
2. Supplies.
a. Supplies cost recovery is calculated using actual supplies cost downloaded
from the financial accounting system for District for the previous fiscal
year closed. An annual cost per FTE is calculated and multiplied by
the number of FTE assigned from Worksheet Exhibit A “positions.”
b. Ammunition cost recovery uses a four-year average actual ammunition
cost (this includes taser cartridges) and divides it by the current year
number of MCSO sworn FTE for a cost per FTE. That amount is then
multiplied by the number of FTE for sworn positions on Worksheet
Exhibit A.
c. Uniform Allowance is the annual amount provided each sworn officer to
maintain a uniform and is charged by FTE.
3. Communications and Information Technology. Sophisticated and costly
information and communications systems are used in everyday MCSO law
enforcement operations. Cost recovery includes but is not limited to system
hardware and software maintenance and licenses, technology supplies, monthly
service, data charges, information system connection fees, and data storage fees.
Charges for Sheriff’s Police Communications and Information Technology are
comprised of several components:
a. Information System Service Charge: The Town’s charge is calculated by
taking its percent of the previous year’s Patrol expense (using the
contracted total as the numerator) and applying it to the calculated amount
of technology system hardware and software licensing and maintenance
expense attributed to patrol.
22
b. Monthly Radio Charges: The monthly charges per FTE (1 per) and per
vehicle (2 per) are per device calculated by Maricopa County Wireless and
based on the number of system users.
c. Monthly Deputy Laptop Charges: The monthly deputy laptop data mobile
data charges are per device and based on the number of system users.
d. Monthly I-phone charges are per device based on number system users.
e. Wiring installations and upgrades for MCSO designated space owned by
the Town. Costs incurred by MCSO for technology wiring installations,
wiring upgrades, voice or data communications connections, device
docking stations, charging stations, radio communications base stations
and computing equipment purchased for use in MCSO occupied spaces
furnished by Town, either explicit or implicit to this Agreement, will be
recovered.
4. Vehicle and Equipment Charges.
Vehicle depreciation and vehicle equipment charges fund continuous replacement
of patrol vehicles through the County’s vehicle replacement plan. Maintenance of
vehicles is the responsibility of the MCSO.
a. The current vehicle and vehicle equipment cost will be used to determine
vehicle depreciation and equipment depreciation amounts.
b. The annual number of miles driven will be used in determining charges
for vehicle mileage, vehicle depreciation, and vehicle equipment
depreciation.
c. Actual miles for the District from Fleet Management system reports from
the previous fiscal year are used in Worksheet Exhibit A.
d. Per Mile Rates
The Per Mile Rate for mileage charge is the average cost per mile for
the previous fiscal year for all patrol vehicles.
The Per Mile Rate for Vehicle Depreciation is the current cost of a
vehicle with warranty divided by the established lifetime miles.
The Per Mile Rate for Equipment Depreciation is the current cost of
vehicle equipment divided by the number of established lifetime
miles.
5. One-Time Costs
MCSO is obligated to recover costs from the Town for equipment replacement or
for new equipment items that are necessary to support the contracted level of Law
Enforcement Service and are not otherwise funded in the Sheriff’s operational
budget.
23
a. The Town will be required to fund one-time reimbursement for the initial
purchase of vehicles and patrol vehicle equipment (lights; sirens; push
bars) upon initiation of service and for any vehicles and patrol vehicle
equipment purchased to meet contracted increases in levels of service
authorized by Amendment(s) to this Agreement. Subsequent vehicle and
vehicle equipment replacements shall be funded by the County as provided
in Section III, Subsections B (4) of this Agreement, and not by the Town.
b. The Town will be required to fund the costs of items necessary to equip
contract positions upon initiation of service and for any positions
associated with increases to service by Amendment. Examples of such
items are radios (for sworn personnel and vehicles), computers, mobile
data terminals for vehicles, e-ticketing equipment for vehicles, Tasers®
and accessories, radar guns, body cams, service weapons, body armor, and
cell phones.
c. Reimbursement costs for replacement of equipment items listed in b.,
above, will occur in conjunction with the annual updating of Worksheet
(Exhibit A) as provided for in Section III, Subsection B. (1) of this
Agreement. Any replacement cost reimbursement that is not included in
the annual updating will be handled by amendment as provided for in
Section III, Subsection B. (1. a) of this Agreement.
d. All one-time and replacement equipment items regardless of funding
source, shall be County property.
e. Maintenance of vehicles is the responsibility of the Sheriff’s Office.
6. Indirect Cost Recovery. A 3% administrative service charge will be applied to
operating costs, excluding one-time items to help recover a portion of
administrative support costs that are not recovered elsewhere in the Worksheet as
named in the Definitions Section of this Agreement.
7. Other Law Enforcement Services. The MCSO reserves the right to address cost
recovery for Other Law Enforcement services listed in the Definitions section of
this Agreement via amendment to this Agreement in the future.
D. Off Duty Assignments and Special Events (MCSO)
1. The Town hosts annual special events for the general public that require additional
security, law enforcement, street closures and traffic control.
2. In general, the Town shall contract with the County’s designated Off Duty contract
manager when sworn security coverage at events is warranted and with a private
security firm for non-sworn security when sworn officers are not necessary.
3. The Town Manager will consult as needed with the District Commander
concerning type of coverage.
4. Special event services may be available only when the contracted off duty
service is not an option AND will be contingent upon availability of MCSO
resources. A schedule of special event service charges and rates is attached as
24
