Honorable Mayor and Members
of the Newman City Council
Agenda Item: 8.d.

City Council Meeting
of July 14, 2026

APPROVE A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR STANISLAUS SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT PARTICIPATION AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER OR ms DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE

AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF NEWMAN
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2026- , approving a joint powers agreement for Stanislaus Special Investigations Unit participation and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement on behalf of the City of Newman.

BACKGROUND:

The Police Department has participated in a joint powers agreement (JP A) for Stanislaus Special Investigations Unit (SIU), formerly known as the Stanislaus Drug Enforcement Agency (SDEA), for many years. SIU is a countywide, multi-agency, specially trained task force charged with enforcing drug control laws, violent crimes, gang-related crimes, street terrorism, human trafficking, and investigations deemed highly sensitive, as directed by the governing board. The governing board is a committee consisting of the Sheriff and District Attorney of Stanislaus County, the Commander of the Modesto Area California Highway Patrol, and the Chief of Police of each participating city. The City of Newman will remain an active governing board member and will continue to be represented by the Police Chief. Officers assigned to this Unit are regularly employed by one of the participating parties to this agreement.

Parties include the cities of Ceres, Hughson, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Turlock, Waterford, and unincorporated Stanislaus County. The Sheriffs Department maintains sole operational control of SIU.

ANALYSIS:

The approval of this JP A does not change the City of Newman's financial contribution or membership association.

Other than minor text changes that did not change the existing agreement or practice, the new agreement is due to the addition of the City of Turlock and the renewal of the JP A. The nine other City Councils and Board of Supervisors are in the process of approving the same SIU JP A. At this time, we believe all of the recommended modifications have occurred, and each jurisdiction is satisfied with the final JP A.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no change to the City's financial contribution to SIU. Our contribution for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 will be seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00). This amount will be billed at the beginning of the fiscal year. The monetary contribution is determined by a long-standing, population-based formula that exists in the former JP A as well as the new JP A. The JP A agreement shall commence on July 1, 2026 and conclude on June 30, 2029. In the event of a population increase during the three-year JP A, the City's financial responsibility will not change. Staff is satisfied with the formula and does not recommend any change.

CONCLUSION:

This staff report is submitted for City Council consideration and action. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2026- , a resolution approving a Joint Powers Agreement for Stanislaus Special Investigations Unit participation and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement on behalf of the City of Newman.
