DATE: June 21, 2022
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator
SUBJECT: Budget Resolution for Unanticipated Salaries and Benefits Costs
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2021-22 appropriations and estimated revenues for the Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator Fund 0001, Subclass 10000, Org 31113202 in the amount of $1,839,039 for unanticipated salaries and benefits costs (4/5 vote).
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended action will increase FY 2021-22 appropriations and estimated revenues in the Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator Org 31113202 to offset unanticipated salaries and benefits costs that resulted from recent labor agreements approved by your Board. The County Administrative Office has authorized the Sheriff’s Office to utilize fund balance from the Public Safety Proposition 172 (Prop 172) Sales Tax Revenue to offset these costs. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. If your Board does not approve the recommended action the Sheriff’s Office will not be able to meet the adopted FY 2021-22 Net County Cost.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended action will increase FY 2021-22 appropriations and estimated revenues in the Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator Org 31113202 in the amount of $1,839,039. The total estimated revenue includes the unanticipated revenue received from the State of California for Prop 172. The recommended increase is necessary due to the negotiated mid-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) cost of living increase for Unit 1 - Law Enforcement Personnel (Unit 1).
DISCUSSION:
In 1993, the California voters passed Prop 172. Funds generated from Prop 172 can be used for dedicated local public safety activities. Prop 172 is a half-cent sales tax to be incorporated within the County of Fresno’s budgets, effective January 1, 1994.
On January 18, 2022, your Board approved the increased cost of living adjustment for Unit 1’s MOU. The increased cost associated with this MOU was not included in the Sheriff’s Office FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget. Approval of the recommended action will allow the Sheriff’s Office to stay within the targeted Net County Cost.
