FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The total decrease in revenue of $320,759 is due to changes requested by the cities of Big Bear Lake (Big Bear) and Victorville (Victorville), to their respective service levels 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 changes 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.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator (Department) is the primary law enforcement agency for the County, including several cities within its jurisdiction that contract for law enforcement services. On June 27, 2023 (Item No. 113), the Board approved Amendment No. 31 to Contract No. 94-521 with Big Bear, and Amendment No. 51 to Contract No. 94-909 with Victorville for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The proposed amendments, to be effective September 1, 2023, include service level adjustments due to the reassignment of one Office Specialist for Big Bear and deletion of one Deputy Sheriff (School Resource officer) for Victorville.
All of the Department’s law enforcement contracts provide for termination by either party upon one-year advance written notice.
