FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The increase in revenue of $476,442 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. A budget adjustment is not requested at this time, but will be included in a future quarterly budget report presented to the Board of Supervisors (Board) for approval, if necessary.
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. On June 22, 2021 (Item No. 95), the Board approved Amendment No. 28 to Contract No. 94-521 and No. 40 to Contract No. 94-524 with the Cities of Big Bear Lake and Rancho Cucamonga respectively for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The proposed amendments, to be effective August 1, 2021, include the following service level adjustments as requested by the respective cities:
|

The necessary new positions are typically requested outside the annual budget process and included in the First Quarter Countywide Budget Report of the fiscal year. Approval of Recommendations No. 2 through No. 3will expedite the hiring process to meet the requested contract service level of the cities and allow the Department to provide the services in advance of the next quarterly budget report.
All of the law enforcement contracts provide for termination by either party upon one-year advance written notice.
