Deputy Sheriff II for School Resource Services shared with the City of
Aliso Viejo Vacancy credits to the city are reduced by $105,826 for a new total
of $625,000.
The total cost to the City of Laguna
Niguel for the FY 2024-25 contract is $18,396,550, which includes
regional/shared staff.
Agreement costs
include salaries, wages, employee benefits, services and supplies,
transportation expenses, as well as division, department and County
(County-Wide Cost Allocation Plan - CWCAP) overhead. The FY 2024-25 cost is
6.77 percent higher ($1,166,857) than the previous agreement of $17,229,693.
The increase is due mainly to salary and benefits 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 Laguna Niguel City Council approval before presenting the
agreement to the Board for approval. The Laguna Niguel City Council has
agendized this agreement for approval at its June 4, 2024, meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Laguna
Niguel 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 appropriation
and revenue to the adopted FY 2024-25
agreement will be requested in the FY
2024-25 Mid-Year Budget Report.
