RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a revenue Agreement with the City of San Joaquin to provide one Deputy Sheriff for general law enforcement services, effective July 1, 2024, not to exceed five consecutive years, which includes a three-year base term and two optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $765,817.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will allow the Sheriff’s Office to continue providing an additional thirty hours per week of patrol services and coverage of events such as football games, festivals or other activities for the City of San Joaquin. This item pertains to a location in District One.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board does not approve the recommended action, the Sheriff’s Office will have a loss in revenue and a reduction in services to the City of San Joaquin.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The recommended agreement will provide up to $119,465 in revenue for FY 2024-25 from the City of San Joaquin for overtime provided by a Deputy Sheriff for up to 1,560 hours at the fiscal year adopted MSF for each year. The Sheriff’s Office usually takes the updated MSF rates to your Board towards the end of November of each year for approval, which the approved rates will be effective 30 days after, beginning in January. Therefore, the rates will be split due to the timing the updated rates are approved of each year. This revenue agreement will be for five consecutive years, which may increase an estimated 10% each fiscal year beginning FY 2025-26 as follows:

On October 24, 2023, your Board approved the first hearing of the MSF rates as recommended. On November 28, 2023, your Board approved the amendment to the MSF rates as recommended, with an increase of five percent (5%) since FY 2022-23, from Deputy Sheriff III overtime hourly rate from $73.17 to $76.58.
Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues for the Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator’s Org 3111 will also be included in future budget requests.
DISCUSSION:
Since 1988, the City of San Joaquin has contracted for law enforcement services with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office. While no position is assigned to the City of San Joaquin, the City has agreed to pay the Sheriff’s Office a flat rate every month for overtime shifts to be worked in the area. The overtime shifts will be assigned at the discretion of the Sheriff, to help promote public safety.
On March 24, 2020, your Board approved Agreement #20-116 to continue law enforcement services to the City of San Joaquin using overtime from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024. Approval of the recommended action will provide continued law enforcement services to the City of San Joaquin for the three-year base term and two optional one-year extensions through various overtime shifts.
The recommended agreement provides that if MSF rates increase or change during the term of the recommended agreement, the agreement provides that the updated rates will automatically apply to the services provided when those updated rates are effective.
