FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost).
Pursuant to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) No. 18-207, the Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator (Sheriff) is reimbursed for all direct costs and for various administrative and overhead costs to provide law enforcement services to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (Tribe). In addition, overtime, fuel, and vehicle maintenance are billed quarterly based on actual cost. The recommended Amendment No. 1 adds two unmarked law enforcement vehicles (units) to the level of service provided by the Sheriff at an annual cost/reimbursement of $16,538 effective July 1, 2022.
Sufficient appropriation and revenue for law enforcement services provided through IGA No. 18-207 are included in the Sheriff’s 2022-23 budget and will be included in future recommended budgets.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On April 17, 2018 (Item No. 19), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved IGA No. 18-207 to meet the Tribe’s requirements of its Compact with the State of California to engage in gaming activities within the Tribe’s reservation area. The IGA provides the framework for the implementation of County services, including law enforcement, fire protection and emergency services to mitigate off reservation impacts resulting from the expansion of the Tribe’s gaming facilities. The levels of service included in the IGA were the same as those provided by the Sheriff and the District Attorney’s Office under separate contracts that were in effect prior to approval of the IGA. Any requests from the Tribe for additional levels of service require the Board’s approval prior to implementation.
In April 2022, the Tribe requested to add two unmarked units to the level of service provided by Sheriff effective July 1, 2022. The cost of the two additional units is included in the attached Exhibit 3 that also reflects the total cost of contracted Sheriff law enforcement services for the 2022-23 fiscal year. Approval of this Amendment will substitute a new Exhibit 3 to the IGA. No additional services are being added to the District Attorney’s Office existing levels of service.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
