DATE: March 12, 2019
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator
SUBJECT: Retroactive Agreement with Central Unified School District for Law Enforcement Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive Agreement with the Central Unified School District for law enforcement services effective August 15, 2018 through June 30, 2019 ($153,302).
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will allow the department to provide law enforcement services to the Central Unified School District (CUSD) with the assignment of one Deputy Sheriff position during the school year to Central High School West Campus. This item pertains to a location in District 3.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board does not approve the recommended action, the Sheriff’s Office would be required to discontinue providing services to the Central Unified School District due to loss of funding and the subsequent elimination of one Deputy Sheriff position.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
This recommended agreement is retroactive due to Master Schedule of Fees (MSF) rates being approved and adopted by your Board on October 9, 2018, after the school year started for Central Unified School District and the length of time required for negotiation and approval of the agreement. The signed agreement was received from Central Unified School District on February 19, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with this action. The recommended agreement will provide $153,302 in revenue from the Central Unified School District for services provided by one Deputy Sheriff for up to 1,440 hours at $106.46 per hour. In addition, the recommended agreement allows for Special Events Services at the request of the Central Unified District at the overtime hourly rate of a Deputy Sheriff III. 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 $11,160. The difference represents FY 2018-19 actual costs for one Deputy Sheriff ($164,462) and the estimated revenue from Central Unified ($153,302) based on the MSF rate approved by your Board, as noted earlier. The Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator’s FY 2018-19 budget for Org 3111 contains sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues to cover these costs.
DISCUSSION:
The Sheriff’s Office has provided contracted law enforcement services to the Central Unified School District since 2004. Duties performed include intervention, prevention, education, and enforcement activities at the Central High School West Campus.
On January 23, 2018, your Board approved Agreement #18-025 to provide law enforcement services to the Central Unified School District with the assignment of one Deputy Sheriff position during the school year effective from August 9, 2017 through June 7, 2018. The approval of the recommended action will approve the agreement for law enforcement services from August 15, 2018 through June 30, 2019. Additionally, at the request of the school and upon agreement of both parties, the Sheriff shall provide law enforcement services at the school’s special events at the Deputy Sheriff overtime rate of $60.43 per hour.
