FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The County will be reimbursed for the direct costs of providing law enforcement services and for various contract administration and overhead costs. The 2021-22 contract amendments for the 14 cities and towns totaling $182,859,263, are detailed on Attachment 1. This amount reflects an increase of $9,706,257 from the previous year, primarily due to negotiated salary increases and changes to service levels as requested by the cities of Hesperia and Victorville. The Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator (Department) has included revenue in the amount of $180.4 million in the 2021-22 Budget based on existing service levels of law enforcement services contracts. Approval of the necessary budget adjustments for the position additions/deletions referenced below are not requested at this time, but will be included on a future countywide quarterly budget report presented to the Board of Supervisors (Board) for approval.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Department provides law enforcement services to the 14 cities and towns previously listed. The contracts with these cities and towns are amended annually to update the costs and service levels, as needed. The proposed amendments identified in Recommendation No. 1 reflect new benefit rates for Safety and General employee classifications, as well as updated liability, supplies and equipment costs. The proposed amendments include the following service level adjustments as requested by the respective cities:
