(AP) -- The estate o f Michael
Jackson and entertainment com
pany AEG have agreed to contrib
ute $ 1.3 million to help cover public
costs related to the pop star's me
morial service last year at Staples
Center in Los Angeles, officials said.
AEG P resid en t T im o th y J.

Villaraigosa said Friday in a joint
statement that $1 million will be pro
vided to the city's general fund and
the rest o f the money will go to the
Los Angeles Police Foundation for
crime-fighting equipment.
"It was important to us that all
parties agreed that this was not an
obligation but a choice we believed
was important to make at a time
when thousands o f city employees
are being reduced," Leiweke said in
the release.
Jim Bates, who handles media
inquiries for the Jackson estate, was
not immediately available for com
ment.
Critics took aim at the city for
spending $3.2 million to support the
memorial service last July 7 at AEG's
Nokia Theater and Staples Center.
Police overtime alone amounted to
$2 million after they set up an elabo
rate security zone around the me
morial site.
