SUBJECT: Agreement with Fresno Unified School District
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive revenue Agreement with Fresno Unified School District to provide partial funding for services provided by nine Deputy Probation Officers assigned to various Fresno Unified School District school campuses, effective July 1, 2019, not to exceed five consecutive years, which includes a one-year base contract and four optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $1,687,500.
