Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation [enter the recommendation here]
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) for Glendale Police Department participation in law enforcement and security services at the University of Phoenix Stadium (Stadium).body
Background
The Stadium operates under the authority of the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority, the owner of the Stadium. The Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority delegated its authority for the operation and maintenance of the Stadium to Stadium Management Group (SMG). SMG has the need for qualified personnel to provide law enforcement and other personnel services at the Stadium. DPS has entered into an agreement with SMG to provide law enforcement services at the Stadium to ensure a visible law enforcement presence during certain scheduled events. The Glendale Police Department desires to assist DPS in providing law enforcement security services to SMG for the Stadium by making available Glendale Police Department assets. This IGA will provide the means through which the DPS and Glendale Police Department intend to provide professional law enforcement and security services to SMG by maximizing cooperation, by integrating assets, and by addressing issues including command, control, personnel, planning and training.
Analysis
If approved by Council, the IGA will be effective immediately upon the signature of both parties and shall remain in full force and effect until June 30, 2017. The IGA may be renewed for successive additional one (1) year periods for up to five (5) years upon mutual consent of the parties. Staff is recommending Council adopt the proposed resolution, which authorizes the City Manager to enter into an IGA with DPS to allow Glendale Police Department to participate in law enforcement and security services at the Stadium.
Previous Related Council Action
On June 23, 2015, Council adopted a resolution (No. 4983, New Series) authorizing the City Manager to enter into an IGA with DPS to allow DPS officers to participate in law enforcement and security services at the Stadium.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
This IGA creates another partnership where police officers from different agencies are able to work together to ensure the citizens and visitors to Glendale experience a safe environment while attending events at the Stadium.
Budget and Financial Impacts
There is no cost to the City to enter into this IGA.
