Sheriff requests Board approval of the
Fifth 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 OCTA for the contracted
law enforcement services is $12,211,479.
In addition, pursuant to the agreement, OCTA may request additional
special and supplemental services, such as use of the Mounted Enforcement Unit
to patrol environmental mitigation properties owned by OCTA, canine explosive
detection services and seasonal law enforcement services and special
enforcement activities, up to a maximum cost of $447,957, for a firm, fixed
total cost of $12,659,436.
Agreement costs include salaries, wages,
benefits, services and supplies and transportation expenses as well as
division, department, and County-Wide Cost Allocation Plan overhead. FY 2024-25
contract service costs are 7.42 percent higher ($874,461) than the current
fiscal year's fourth amendment to the agreement of $11,784,785. The increase is
due to salary and benefit increases to labor agreements.
The $447,957 authorized amount for special
and supplemental services is established annually by OCTA based on projected
service need and available funding.
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 OCTA approval before presenting the agreement to the Board for
approval. The OCTA Board of Directors agendized this agreement for approval at
its June 11, 2024, meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Orange County
Transportation Authority 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.
