CITY OF MERIDIAN BY: Luke Cavener, Council President 9-16-2025 ATTEST: BY: Chris Johnson, City Clerk 9-16-2025 CITY OF BOISE BY: Mayor Lauren McLean ATTEST: BY: Jamie Heinzerling, City Clerk Meridian Addendum No. 22 Page 2 BOISE CITY ATTORNEY Proposal: City of Meridian Prosecution Services for FY2026 ` B O I S E C 7 T'i 0 F T R E E S PROPOSAL FOR FY2026 PROSECUTION SERVICES SCOPE OF SERVICES The Boise City Attorney's Office proposes the following scope of services in FY2026. These services remain the same as those identified in the FY2025 Addendum to the 2002 Agreement for City Prosecutor/Criminal Legal Services: • Prosecutorial screening of police-generated misdemeanor reports and citations routed for review. • Timely filing decisions and notification to Meridian Police Department upon request. • Prosecution of infractions and misdemeanors occurring within Meridian City limits or pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding between the Meridian Police Department and the Boise Police Department. • Coverage of additional caseloads in any new criminal courtrooms assigned by the Trial Court Administrator. • Access to the On-Call Warrant Team for procurement of arrestor search warrants 24 hours a day, seven days a week. • Legal training for Block Training, Advanced Academy, and POST, as mutually agreed upon. • Regular (generally monthly) case law updates including Idaho, Ninth Circuit, and U.S. Supreme Court. CITY of BOISE CREATING A CITY FOR EVERYONE Proposed FY2026 Contract Amount From FY2019 through FY2024, the parties operated under an agreement increasing the contract payment by a fixed amount of $70,481 .00 each year. That agreement's goal was to balance the City of Boise's need to ensure full recoupment of costs incurred in providing prosecution services to the City of Meridian, and the City of Meridian's desire for a reasonable and predictable increase in annual expenses. For FY2025, the parties agreed to a contract increase of 3.2%, which was based upon the Social Security Administration's cost of living increase. With the same goals of reasonableness, predictability, and cost recoupment in mind, the Boise City Attorney's Office has determined that it can provide the services identified above in FY2026 for a contract increase of 2.5%, which is equal to the Social Security Administration's cost of living increase for 2025. In light of this, the City Attorney's Office proposes a contract amount of $829,374.49 ($69,1 14.54 per month)* for FY2026. The Office is able to offer this lower percentage increase due in part to the continued success of its case management system, as well as a strong cadre of attorneys and support staff. *There is a slight discrepancy in the numbers due to rounding of the monthly payment amount.
