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. 35 to Contract No. 94-526 with the City of Yucaipa for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The proposed amendment, to be effective September 15, 2021, includes the following service level adjustments as requested by the City:
|
Additions |
Deletions |
|
1- Deputy Sheriff 1- Sheriff’s Service Specialist 1- Marked Patrol Unit 1- Sheriff’s Service Specialist Pick-up Truck |
None |
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 and No. 3 will expedite the hiring process to meet the requested contract service level and allow the Department to provide the services in advance of the next quarterly budget report.
All of the law enforcement services contracts provide for termination by either party upon one-year advance written notice.
PROCUREMENT
Not Applicable.
