Print The Port of San Diego’s long-running agreements for outsourced police and fire service within the district last week escalated from a routine matter of business to a charged discussion about fairness and the agency’s role in scrutinizing costs. At the Dec. 8 board meeting, the port’s seven appointed commissioners were asked to approve 40-year emergency service contracts, known as municipal service agreements, with the cities of Chula Vista and Imperial Beach. But after nearly two hours of deliberation, with the central debate relating to whether the port was in a position to act on the unprecedented contracts, the items were pushed for additional review to the next scheduled meeting.
