The total cost to
the City of San Clemente for the FY 2024-25 contract is $21,686,924, 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. FY 2024-25 cost is 5.89 percent
higher ($1,206,476) than the current fiscal year final adjusted agreement of
$20,480,448. 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 San Clemente City Council approval before presenting the
agreement to the Board for approval. The San Clemente City Council agendized
this agreement for approval at its June 18, 2024, meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of San
Clemente 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.
