STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This agreement is in line with the City Council’s Safe and Prosperous strategic outcome. This action contributes to community safety and prosperity by entering into a collaborative operational agreement with the United States Border Patrol that provides additional security patrols throughout the community to address border related security issues.
REPORT:
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) is a collaborative operational agreement between State, Local and Tribal law enforcement agencies and the United States Border Patrol (USBP). OPSG supports the USBP’s efforts to enhance border security through the interdiction of illegal activity in border communities. By employing this partnership, the Police Department will be able to deploy additional patrols to aid in detecting and deterrence of border-related crime and support the City of Yuma’s vision of being a Safe and Prosperous community.
The Police Department is one of several agencies that partner with the USBP to develop and maintain a multi-tiered level of security along the United States/Mexico border. This partnership allows the City of Yuma to engage with Federal, State, Tribal and other Local law enforcement agencies, encouraging positive, long-lasting relationships.
Under this agreement, YPD would be reimbursed up to $506,537.36 for overtime, $78,462.64 for employee-related expenses and $34,020 for mileage expenses (total of $619,020) in support of OPSG from February 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026. OPSG funds cannot supplant normal operations or funding.
By approving this motion, the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator and designated City Staff to execute an agreement for the City to be reimbursed for overtime, employee related expenses and mileage expenses utilized in support of OPSG.
