Mission Viejo approves FY 2025-26 contract with Orange County Sheriff—s Department
Summary
The council unanimously approved the city—s FY 2025-26 law enforcement services agreement with the Orange County Sheriff—s Department and maintained $35,000 for special enforcement overtime; staff said the proposed contract reflects refinements to earlier county estimates.
The Mission Viejo City Council unanimously approved the city—s fiscal year 2025-26 law enforcement services agreement with the Orange County Sheriff—s Department.
Staff introduced the item and reviewed a sequence of county estimates submitted earlier in the year and a proposed agreement for council consideration. The initial county estimate presented in the meeting was $25,580,623; staff said refinements had been made and submitted as exhibits to the council report. Staff recommended maintaining $35,000 in the general fund for overtime to support special enforcement services, such as targeted deployments and seasonal traffic patrols.
There were no public speakers on this item. During council discussion members asked about the availability of the county—s online crime blotter; staff directed residents to the Orange County Sheriff—s Department website (ocsd.org), where incident query tools are publicly available without a paywall.
A council member moved to approve the agreement and another seconded; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. The City Manager was authorized to approve reimbursements up to the budgeted $35,000 for special enforcement services.
Notes on numbers: the transcript records an initial first-estimate amount of $25,580,623 and later contains an inconsistent rendering of the proposed agreement amount; staff confirmed the agreement reflects revised county estimates now before the council and will be executed consistent with the staff report.
