DATE: January 29, 2019
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator
SUBJECT: Retroactive Agreement with City of San Joaquin for Law Enforcement
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive Agreement with the City of San Joaquin for law enforcement services effective July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 ($94,270.80).
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 locations in District One.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Non-approval of the recommended action will result in the loss of revenue to the Sheriff’s Office and a reduction in services to the City of San Joaquin.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
The recommended agreement is retroactive due to Master Schedule of Fees (MSF) rates being approved and adopted by your Board on October 9, 2018 and the length of time required for negotiation and approval of the agreement. The signed agreement was received from the City of San Joaquin on January 11, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The recommended agreement will provide up to $94,271 in revenue from the City of San Joaquin for overtime provided by a Deputy Sheriff for up to 1,560 hours at $60.43 per hour. On September 25, 2018, your Board approved the first hearing of the MSF rates as recommended with the exception that the fee amount for Deputy Sheriff III remain at the FY 2017-18 rates for regular and overtime. On October 9, 2018, your Board approved the amendment to the MSF rates as recommended during the first hearing.
The Net County Cost associated with this agreement is up to $7,815. The difference represents FY 2018-19 actual costs for one Deputy Sheriff ($102,086) for 1,560 overtime hours and the estimated revenue from the City of San Joaquin ($94,271) based on the MSF rates approved by your Board, as noted earlier. The Sheriff’s FY 2018-19 recommended budget Org 3111 contains sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues to cover these costs.
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 January 9, 2018, your Board approved a Second Amendment to Agreement 15-371 to continue law enforcement services to the City of San Joaquin using overtime from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. Approval of the recommended action will provide for continued law enforcement services to the City of San Joaquin from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 through various overtime shifts.
