12I;COMNIEND�D ACTION(S) � � �
Staff reco»�mends that the Town Couneil approve the resol��tion (�xhibit 1) authorizing the �
Mayor to sig�� the Dissolution Ag�-eement (Eahibit 2) of the Marin County Major Crimes Taslc

BACKGROUND
The Marin County Major Crimes Tasl< Force (MCMCTF�) was created in 1977. and in 1979 �uas e�panded
a��d fori��alized at the behest of the Marin County Police Chiefs' /�ssociatioi� by entry into a Joint
Powers Abreemei�t (JPA) amonb all the cities, towns and the Co�u�ty of Marin.
The MCMCTF has successfully operated for many years as a general i��vestigations unit charged
with assisti��b local a�encies in investigati»g reso�n�ce-intensive crim�s as �vell �ts narcotic�
ofifenses, and it operated aci-oss jurisdictional boundaries within the Coui�ty.

Over the years, the MCMCTF was resti-uctured by multiple ��nendments to its JPA Abreement,
centi•alizin; coi�trol with the Mari�� County Sherift-s Oftice. The currei�t, operative version ofthe
ai��ended JPA Agreei��ent �vas eYecutcd by the Co�inty and all the i7�ember abe��cies �i�d is dated
1=ebrua�y 25, 2016. Section 7.1 of this amendetl JPA A�reement provides that it shal) be deemed
terminated when member abencies representii�« fitty percent or more of the population of Mari��
� Co�inty file their notices of intent to withdraw.
�� On Jui�e ]9, 2020, on behalf of the City/Town Manage��s, the Chair of the Marin Managers'
Association advised the Sherif'(�i�� writing that. beca�lse ofthe COVID-]9 pandemic and the
exti•eme stress it imposed upon the bud��eCs of the member a��encies, it was soon lil<ely that
agencies representing more tha�� tifty percent (50%) of the County's population would file notices
of intent to withdraw fi-om the Tasl< Force, the��eby res�iltinb in te�-mination ofthe JPA
/lgreement.
In late Jane 2020, the City/Town M�nagers of inember abencies Novato, San Rafael, Mill Valley,
�Zoss, �elvedere, I�ait-fa�, "I'iburon, Larl<spur, San Anselmo and Corte Madera, advised the Board
Chair of the Taslc Foi-ce Oversibht Committee in writing the�� were forinally p�•oviding their
notices of intent to withdraw and thereby involced Article 7.I's teri��ination process.
Rep�°esentatives of the County ancl the Memt�er/\;�encie� toi�nred a sahc_•��„���itt��,foltovvinb
t•eceipt of the aforementioned notices of intent to ���ithdraw; held periodic meetinbs and worl<ed
closely together to inve��to�y the "I,aslc Force's assets, sell its vehicles, account for•asset forfeiture
fands and create reserve projections for close-out costs such as lease payments, evidence
processinb costs, tail liability insurance premiums and related dissolutio�� expenses.
After a three-month process, the subcommittee negotiated an abre�ment to: (1)formally tenninate
the MCMCTF's JPA Ag�-eement dated February 25, 20 I 6; (2) provide for the dissolution of the
MCMCTF and its opei-ations; and (3) liquidate the MCMCTF's assets and distribute such assets
and property (including all asset fo��teiture funds, monies and brants) p�n•suant to A��ticle 7.2 of
the JPA.

reviewed this agreement. No chan<res were recommended b� the Oversight Coi��mittee.

investibation's unit withii� the Sheriffs Office �-vhich cities and to���i�s co�ild access on a contract
basis; as opposed to the JPA str�icture of the MCMCTF.
