SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner
SUBJECT: 2008 Public Facilities Impact Fees - Patrol Vehicle Purchase
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2018-19 appropriations for the Public Facility Fees Fund 1550, Subclass 15506, Sheriff Patrol & Investigations to transfer $28,027.91 plus accrued interest (4/5 vote); and
2. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2018-19 appropriations and estimated revenues for the Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111 in the amount of $28,027.91 plus accrued interest, for the purchase of a used vehicle (4/5 vote).
REPORT
Approval of the recommended actions will allow the Sheriff-Coroner to purchase a used vehicle using public facilities impact fees (PFIF) collected under the Board’s 2008 PFIF program to be expended on qualifying projects. The vehicle will be used by the Sheriff’s Patrol and Investigations Unit. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended actions are not approved, the Sheriff-Coroner’s Office will not be able to purchase the used vehicle with the PFIF.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. The fees were collected under the Sheriff’s Patrol and Investigation category of the 2008 PFIF program to pay for portions of such public facilities that are attributable to increased demand reasonably related to new development. The Sheriff’s Patrol and Investigations category was designated for the purchase of vehicles. Approval of the first recommended action will increase FY 2018-19 appropriations for the Public Facility Fees Fund 1550 - Sheriff Patrol & Investigations in the amount of $28,027.91, plus accrued interest, utilizing the total available fund balance in the Subclass to fund an Operating Transfer Out to the Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111. Approval of the second recommended action will increase FY 2018-19 appropriations and estimated revenues in the Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111 in the amount of $28,027.91, plus accrued interest, through an Operating Transfer In from the Public Facility Fees Fund 1550 - Sheriff Patrol & Investigations in order to accept the PFIF revenue for the purchase of a used vehicle.
DISCUSSION:
California Government Code, section 66000 provides a process by which the Board may establish PFIF.
The PFIF program was established by the Board in 2008 to pay for portions of qualified public facilities in six categories, which was based on an impact fee study conducted in 2006. The six categories were Countywide Public Protection, General Government, Libraries, Health and Human Services, Sheriff’s Patrol and Investigation, and County Parks and Open Space. Consistent with the 2006 impact fee study and as provided in the capital improvement plan for the PFIF, most recently updated by the Board on March 20, 2018, PFIF funds in the Sheriff’s Patrol and Investigation category may be spent to purchase used patrol vehicles. The PFIF funds must be expended before November 10, 2018.
With your Board’s approval, the budget resolutions will increase the Sheriff-Coroner’s FY 2018-19 Recommended Budget to purchase one used vehicle, necessary due to the growth of criminal and/or civil investigations in the County’s unincorporated areas. The vehicle may also be used for rural undercover operations such as narcotics, agriculture, and gang related crime investigations. The Department will work with Purchasing for the purchase of a used vehicle.
