SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will adopt a resolution allowing the City of Seal

BACKGROUND:
In February of 2008 the City of Seal Beach Police Department opened the Seal
Beach Detention Facility as a `cost-neutral' City enterprise. The United States
Marshals Service was contacted in December of 2008. The local branch of the
Marshal Service sought to use the Seal Beach Detention Center to house
inmates on a temporary basis. They envision housing between two and twelve
inmates on a regular basis.
The negotiations between the City of Seal Beach and the Office of
Intergovernmental Agreements, a division of the United States Department of
Justice, Office of the Federal Detention Trustee began in February of 2009. On
March, 28, 2009 a contract was delivered to the Seal Beach Police Department.
The contract calls for the United States Marshal Service to house federal
detainees at the Seal Beach Detention Center at a rate of $75.00 per day. The
contract calls fora 24 month agreement at which time the daily rate can be re-
negotiated. The City Manager needs to be designated by resolution to execute
on behalf of the City of Seal Beach and sign the agreement with the United
States Department of Justice.

Acts of 2001 (Public Law 106-553), this Agreement is entered into between the United

The Local Government shall accept and provide for the secure custody, safekeeping,
housing, subsistence and care of federal detainees in accordance with all state and local
laws, standards, regulations, policies and court orders applicable to the operation of the

medical supplies, over the counter prescriptions and, any prescription medications

suspected or active TB or any other highly communicable disease such as Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Avian Flu, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

federal detainee is moved.
Federal detainees may be charged a medical co-payment by the Local Government in
