The total cost to
the City of Lake Forest for the FY 2024-25 agreement is $21,360,473, 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) overhead. The FY 2024-25 cost is 5.29
percent higher ($1,073,900) than the current fiscal year final adjusted
agreement of $20,286,573. The increase is due 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 Lake Forest City Council approval before presenting the
agreement to the Board for approval. The Lake Forest City Council approved this
agreement at its May 21, 2024, meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Lake
Forest 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.
