Item #03
Date: April 21, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Vance Nabeta, Police Chief
Jim Schaad, City Manager.
Subject: Approve Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Task Force MOU so the Marysville Police Department can participate with the DEA.
Recommendation:
Pass a Motion to approve a memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Marysville and the Regional DEA Task Force. The Marysville Police Department will provide one officer for investigation and enforcement operations.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The regional DEA Task Force recently extended an invitation to the Marysville Police Department to join the task force and work together, and the attached MOU is to formalize the partnership. The request is to approve the attached MOU and allow the Marysville Police Department to work with the DEA taskforce.
Background:
The DEA Task Force is primarily focused on the enforcement of illegal narcotic activity in our city and surrounding area. Joining the task force would be a force multiplier for the Marysville Police Department and would greatly increase the experience and expertise of our police officers.
Alignment with City Council Goal(s):
The proposed MOU would enhance Public Safety.
Legal Review:
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed and approved as to form.
Environmental Review:
The action proposed in this item is administrative in nature and does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Fiscal Analysis:
There would be no fiscal impact.
