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.
