MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING - AMENDING PRISONER TRANSPORTATION INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTMEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between
THE SHERIFF, PINELLAS COUNTY, FLORIDA
And
THE CITY OF CLEARWATER
RE: Amending Prisoner Transportation Interlocal Agreement
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by and between the Sheriff,
Pinellas County, Florida, BOB GUALTIERI, (hereinafter, the SHERIFF) and the City of
Clearwater, (hereinafter, CITY).
The above -named parties currently have in effect an Interlocal Agreement, effective
through September 30, 2013, whereby the SHERIFF agrees to provide countywide prisoner
transportation service, with said terms and costs for the service detailed therein. The Agreement
further provides that each City which is a part of the Interlocal Agreement will be invoiced on a
monthly basis for all services rendered under the Agreement and said cities, including the City of
Clearwater, will have said charges deducted from each city's Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
funds, if available, until such time as each respective City's funds are expended! Once the JAG
funds are depleted, each City may elect to continue use of the service and cover the costs itself.
Effective July 1, 2013, the SHERIFF, as permitted by Florida law, will begin using the
private contractor, G4S, to provide countywide prisoner transportation service. Through a
separate Agreement between the SHERIFF and G4S, officers of G4S used for this purpose will
only be retired or former law enforcement officers.
The SHERIFF will continue to bill the CITY from July 1st forward at the rates contained
in the current Interlocal Agreement only if the CITY'S JAG funds are not completely depleted
by that time, and continue to do so until all JAG funds are expended. Once the JAG funds are
completely expended, there will be no charge to the CITY for prisoner transportation services
from that time forward.
The parties agree that all other terms and conditions of the Interlocal Agreement will
remain in effect unless modified by the parties as provided therein, and extended through
September 30, 2014, except as modified herein by this MOU.
This Memorandum of Understanding shall take effect July 1, 2013.
1 The JAG funds are retained by the SHERIFF as the Applicant/Fiscal Agent and applied to offset the cost of
services provided each month. The number and types of transports provided each month to each City are
documented via the monthly invoice.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto cause their signatures to be affixed this
