The total cost to the City of Dana Point for the FY 2021-22 contract is $13,574,884, 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 2021-22 cost is 2.46 percent higher ($326,065) than the current fiscal year agreement of $13,248,819.  The net increase is due to updated salary and benefit changes approved by the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs (AOCDS), Association of County Law Enforcement Managers (ACLEM), Orange County Managers Association (OCMA) and the Orange County Employees Association (OCEA).   The AOCDS agreement was approved by the Board on October 8, 2019.  The Board approved the ACLEM, OCMA and OCEA agreements on October 22, 2019. 

 

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 Dana Point City Council approval before presenting the agreement to the Board for approval.  The Dana Point City Council approved this agreement at its June 1, 2021, meeting.

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

The City of Dana Point 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 2021-22 Recommended Budget.  Adjustments to reconcile positions with related appropriations and revenue to the adopted FY 2021-22 agreement will be requested in the FY 2021-22 Mid-Year Budget Report.
