0110 CONTRACT FOR POLICE PROTECTION 'Attachment B
ADDITIONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In addition to the INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS contained at the beginning of this CONTRACT,
the COMPANY, the COUNTY, and the SHERIFF further agree that this CONTRACT is premised upon the
following understandings, agreements and acknowledgments:
B 1. The SHERIFF, subject to the limits of available DEPUTIES and budget constraints, is authorized by
law to provide law enforcement and POLICE PROTECTION throughout the jurisdiction and territorial limits of
Oakland County and is authorized to maintain law and order within areas of his jurisdiction which may be
inadequately policed and which may require added vigilance to monitor possible criminal activity.
B 2. The COMPANY acknowledges that the same fiscal and practical restrictions which limit the availability
of local police resources also limit the ability of the SHERIFF to reassign DEPUTIES to provide POLICE
PROTECTION at the EVENT as part of their normal shift assignments and duties. However, the COMPANY
acknowledges that because of the relatively large number of DEPUTIES the 0.C.S.O. employs and because
many of the DEPUTIES normal work assignments and duties such as prisoner pick-ups, jail activity, court
appearances, and all court support functions (i.e. courthouse security, escorting prisoners to trial, etc)
normally occur between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, which is not when the
EVENT and consequential POLICE PROTECTION needs typically occur, and that the 0.C.S.O. may be able
to provide supplemental POLICE PROTECTION at the EVENT on an overtime basis. The COMPANY
acknowledges and agrees that the applicable hourly rates paid to DEPUTIES under this CONTRACT are set
at the overtime rates because any DEPUTY assigned to the EVENT must, in fact, be replaced by the
SHERIFF in the Oakland County Jail on an overtime basis.
B 3. The COMPANY acknowledges that, except for the prohibitive expense to the COUNTY, the SHERIFF
may be able, for the EVENT, to assign, on an overtime basis, DEPUTIES who have already completed their
normal workday and/or work week to provide POLICE PROTECTION at the EVENT, without otherwise unduly
interfering with efficiency, morale, and readiness of the 0.C.S.O. or its ability to meet its other law enforcement
responsibilities_
B 4. The COMPANY has, to its satisfaction, examined the 0.C.S.O.'S wage and cost structures and
acknowledges and agrees the reimbursement that the COMPANY is to pay to the COUNTY under the terms
of this CONTRACT is not intended to result in any net financial gain or profit for the COUNTY, but is
established to guarantee that the O.C.S:O. is fully reimbursed for any and all salary costs, on an overtime
basis, and other fringe benefit costs and expenses that the COUNTY is required to pay to, or on behalf of, any
DEPUTIES providing supplemental POLICE PROTECTION for the EVENT.
B 5. The 0.C.S.O. and the COMPANY agree and acknowledge that the supplemental POLICE
PROTECTION activities provided for under the terms of this CONTRACT are strictly limited to those
governmental law enforcement functions authorized by law and the POLICE PROTECTION provided for under
this CONTRACT are exclusively governmental activities and functions of the type and nature that would be
normally supported by tax dollars, and that this CONTRACT simply acknowledges the unusual circumstances
and increased law enforcement needs and demands created by the EVENT and the corresponding increased
financial burden on government law enforcement agencies created by such EVENT.
B 6, The 0.C.S.O. and the COMPANY agree and acknowledge that the sole purpose of this CONTRACT
is to provide governmental law enforcement, crime prevention arid POLICE PROTECTION services only, and
that these activities are not engaged in primarily for profit, and that neither party expects or anticipates that
0.0.8.0. wilt realize any profit or direct financial benefit as a result of this CONTRACT
