FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The cost for the Sheriff’s Service Specialist will be offset by the deletion of a vacant Motor Pool Services Assistant position. The increase in revenue of $1,091 will allow for reimbursement of all direct costs and various administrative costs to provide the additional services. Actual costs of overtime, fuel and vehicle maintenance are billed to the city quarterly.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator (Department) is the primary law enforcement agency for San Bernardino County, including several cities within its jurisdiction that contract for law enforcement services.

Approval of Recommendation No. 1 will update the contract’s cost for the remainder of the term and includes one new regular position as described in Recommendation No. 2. The proposed amendment, to be effective April 1, 2022, includes the following service level adjustments as requested by the City of Hesperia:
