Chapel Hill - .968-4501 ,Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To consider an interlocal agreement between Orange County and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill which will provide for the reimbursement to Orange County of the personnel expenses of Orange County sheriff deputies providing security for major UNC events (principally sporting) . BACKGROUND: Historically members of the Orange County Sheriff 's Department have "worked" UNC home football games, basketball games and other major University functions and provided security for those functions . They have done so pursuant to an interlocal agreement between the University and Chapel Hill . Under that agreement, Chapel Hill paid these employees for their time and was reimbursed for those payments by the University. The agreement between the University of North Carolina and Chapel Hill has been terminated. The agreement which is attached will replace it insofar as Orange County deputy sheriffs are concerned. The Orange County deputy sheriffs will "work" the University functions and be paid for that work by Orange County. The University will be billed for the County' s personnel expense associated with the deputies working these events . The University will provide the vehicles and other equipment necessary for the security work performed by the deputies . This agreement is similar to but slightly different than a so- called mutual assistance agreement in which the heads of a local government law enforcement agency provide mutual assistance to each other as needed. Under a mutual assistance agreement typically there is no reimbursement of costs to the assisting jurisdiction. And, although a mutual assistance agreement can be initiated and implemented directly by the head of the law enforcement agency of the unit of local government, an interlocal agreement providing for compensation to the assisting law enforcement agency needs Board approval . RECOMMENDATION: The County Manager and the County Attorney recommend that the Board approve the agreement effective September 1, 1993 provided satisfactory arrangements are made for either: ( 1) the reimbursement to the County for the use of any County facilities or equipment ( including Sheriff 's vehicles used to transport deputies to the University) used during the event coverage or (2) assurance that County equipment and facilities will not be used during the event coverage.
