REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, City Manager
VIA: Eric Parra, Chief of Police
PREPARED BY: Yasha Nikitin, Police Captain
Subject:
Approve and authorize the Agreement for Supplemental Law Enforcement Services between
the City of Newport Beach and the City of Huntington Beach
Statement of Issue:
The City of Newport Beach periodically requires supplemental law enforcement support for special
events that exceed available staffing resources. The proposed agreement would allow the Huntington
Beach Police Department, based on staffing availability, to provide temporary law enforcement
personnel to support public safety and operational needs. City Council is requested to approve and
authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement for Supplemental Law Enforcement Services
between the City of Newport Beach and the City of Huntington Beach to provide mutual support and
specialized law enforcement services, as needed.
Financial Impact:
The agreement does not obligate either city to incur costs unless services are requested and
provided. Reimbursable costs for services rendered will be billed in accordance with the terms of the
agreement and funded through existing departmental appropriations or future budget adjustments, as
necessary. The agreement is expected to provide full cost recovery and is not anticipated to impact
the General Fund.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the "Agreement for Supplemental Law
Enforcement Services between the City of Newport Beach and the City of Huntington Beach".
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the agreement and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Huntington Beach Police Department and Newport Beach Police Department have a

longstanding collaborative relationship in providing regional public safety services. Interagency
cooperation enhances both agencies' ability to effectively respond to incidents requiring specialized
resources, operational support, and coordinated law enforcement efforts.
The proposed agreement establishes a framework for either city to request law enforcement
assistance, personnel, equipment, or specialized services from the other, based on staffing
availability and operational needs. Services may include mutual aid during major incidents, special
event staffing, marine patrol support, specialized investigations, tactical operations, and other
mutually agreed-upon law enforcement functions.
For special event support, the requesting city will provide advance notice of service needs, allowing
both agencies to coordinate staffing and operational requirements. The Huntington Beach Chief of
Police will retain discretion over resource availability and staffing levels to ensure the City's
operational priorities and public safety needs are maintained.
The agreement also establishes reimbursement procedures and administrative coordination for
interagency services. Approval of this agreement will strengthen regional public safety preparedness,
improve resource efficiency, and provide operational flexibility without requiring separate approvals
for individual requests for assistance.
Environmental Status:
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Goal 8 - Public Safety, Strategy A - Community-wide comprehensive risk reduction program to
optimize public safety's emergency response and reduce the number of calls.

Agreement shall not exceed Seventy Five Thousand Dollars($75,000.00) ("Contract Amount").

circumstances beyond HUNTINGTON BEACH's control when HUNTINGTON BEACH, in its

hereby waives any claims that may arise in connection with, or as a result of, any alleged
2
HUNTINGTON BEACH failure to provide supplemental law enforcement services requested for
