Sheriff requests Board approval of the First Amendment to the Law Enforcement Agreement for the term of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, as noted in the Recommended Actions. The total cost to the City of Villa Park for contracted law enforcement services for FY 2024-25 is $2,035,677. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, the City of Villa Park may request additional special and supplemental services, such as the use of a School Resource Officer, Direct Enforcement services, Special Event services and traffic enforcement, up to a maximum cost of $259,500, for a firm, fixed total cost of $2,295,177. The City pays Sheriff for the SRO and for other special events as well as the traffic enforcement. Due to other funding sources used by the City to pay for these, they ask for supplemental invoices so they can track the cost. This total cost does not include any additional hours for the Motor Sergeant's required duties related to traffic enforcement. The traffic enforcement hours are also billed by supplemental invoice for actual hours worked

 

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 6.75 percent higher ($145,081) than the current agreement of $2,159,096. The increase is due to salary and benefits increases due to labor agreements. 

 

This First Amendment to the 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 Amendment, and the need to have the Villa Park City Council approval before presenting the Amendment to the Board for approval. The Villa Park City Council approved this Agreement at its May 28, 2024, meeting.

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

The City of Villa Park 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. Adjustment 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.
