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

relevant crime and incident data.
b.
Short-term or incidental deployments of additional resources will

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

this Agreement. Staff will be assigned to the Town on a full-time basis and will
work within the Town limits unless required to cross jurisdiction boundaries for
pursuits, ongoing investigation of Town cases or other temporary law enforcement
emergency situations including responding to requests for assistance from other
officers in surrounding jurisdictions in emergency or dangerous situations. To the
extent possible, the Sheriff’s Office personnel who are selected for deployment to
the Town will be required to make a two-year commitment to this assignment in
the Sheriff’s Office and shall remain deployed to the Town for such two-year
period unless reassignment is requested by the Town Manager; provided, however,
that the Sheriff’s Office may transfer personnel, with prior notification to the Town
Manager, when such transfer is in the best interests of the Town and the Sheriff’s
Office. The Office may utilize a rotational process of various deputies (cadre) in
addition to the assigned Town deputies to address any extended period of patrol
deputy vacancy in the Town under the terms of this contract.
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.

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:

b.
Average Hourly Base Pay: The MCSO Patrol district-wide hourly regular

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

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.
