The total cost to
the City of Aliso Viejo for the FY 2024-25 agreement is $10,810,681 which
includes regional/shared staff. The
partial positions reflect cost-sharing partnerships among the City of Aliso
Viejo and the cities of Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel and Laguna Woods, which
result in cost savings and operational efficiencies.
Agreement costs
include salaries, wages, employee benefits, services and supplies,
transportation expenses, as well as division, department and County
(County-Wide Cost Allocation Plan) overhead.
The FY 2024-25 cost is 5.90 percent higher ($601,978) than the previous
agreement $10,208,703. The increase is due to salary and benefit increases due
to labor agreements.
This agreement is submitted for approval
less than 30 days prior to the start of the proposed agreement due to an
extended negotiation period over the terms and conditions in the agreement, and
the need to have the Aliso Viejo City Council approval before presenting the
agreement to the Board for approval. The Aliso Viejo City Council has agendized
this agreement for approval at its June 5, 2024, meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Aliso
Viejo is responsible for 100 percent of the costs related to this
agreement. Appropriations and Revenue
for this agreement are included in Budget Control 060, Sheriff-Coroner FY
2024-25 Budget. Adjustments to reconcile positions with related appropriations
and revenue to the adopted FY 2024-25 agreement will be requested in the FY
2024-25 Mid-Year Budget Report.
