Approve the proposed Amendment to Agreement with the City of Inglewood for supplemental law enforcement services for special events in the City of Inglewood, and authorize the City Manager or the Chief of Police to execute all documents related thereto.    

In July 2021, the City of Hawthorne entered into an agreement with the City of Inglewood to provide supplemental law enforcement officers for large events at venues in Inglewood. Under this agreement, Hawthorne police officers, along with Sheriff's deputies, provided additional security at SoFi Stadium and other venues. All costs associated with this service were reimbursed by Inglewood.

In April 2022, both cities agreed to a First Amendment to the original agreement, reflecting an increase in hourly pay for Hawthorne police officers. Subsequently, in September 2023, a Second Amendment was agreed upon, further increasing the hourly pay for Hawthorne police officers. The original agreement, extended through these two 12-month amendments, resulted in a new agreement entered into in September 2024, which also included a corresponding increase in hourly pay for Hawthorne police officers.

The agreement that was entered into by both cities in September 2024 will expire this month (September 2025), and a new amendment is necessary. Both cities have agreed to a First Amendment to the existing agreement, that incorporates an increase in hourly pay for Hawthorne police officers, police sergeants, and police lieutenants.
