SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation
Authorize the City Administrator to execute an agreement with the Arizona Department of Homeland Security to reimburse the City for funds expended for equipment utilized in support of Operation Stonegarden. (Police/Patrol) (Thomas Garrity)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This agreement supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous. Entering into a collaborative operational agreement with the United States Border Patrol provides additional security patrols throughout the community to address border related security issues and contributes to community safety.
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 the detection 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 $158,000 for the purchase of two 4x4 police package trucks and $14,295 for the purchase of three mobile data computers (total of $172,295) in support of OPSG from March 7, 2024, to March 31, 2025. OPSG funds cannot supplant normal operations or funding.
By approving this motion, the Mayor and City Council authorize the City Administrator to execute an agreement for the City to be reimbursed for equipment utilized in support of OPSG.
