FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The total increase in revenue of $240,375 is due to changes to law enforcement service levels requested by the City of Yucaipa (Yucaipa) and the Town of Yucca Valley (Yucca Valley), as detailed in the Background Information section. The County is reimbursed for the direct costs of providing law enforcement services and for various contract administration costs. Approval of the necessary budget adjustments for the service level change is not requested at this time but will be included in the Mid-Year Budget Report presented to the Board of Supervisors (Board) for approval, if necessary.
