The total cost to the City of Laguna Niguel for the FY 2019-20 contract is $15,212,121, 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 - CWCAP) overhead. The FY 2019-20 cost is 3.66 percent higher ($537,606) than the current fiscal year FY 2018-19 final adjusted
agreement of $14,674,515. 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), increases in Sheriff
overhead, increase in overtime hours budgeted and a decrease in credits. The Board ratified the ACLEM agreement on
June 26, 2018, the OCMA agreement on
April 24, 2018 and the OCEA agreement on July 31, 2018. The AOCDS agreement was approved by the Board
on September 6, 2016.
Since there are salary and benefit issues that remain to be resolved for the current labor contracts for employees represented by various bargaining units (i.e., OCMA, ACLEM, OCEA, AOCDS) , and which are not reflected in the contract cost, the proposed agreement includes provisions that require the City of Laguna Niguel to pay for the cost of any increase in compensation or benefits, or to adjust the service level to stay within the original maximum obligation.
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 Laguna Niguel City Council approval before presenting the agreement to the Board for approval. The Laguna Niguel City Council approved this item at its June 4, 2019 meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Laguna Niguel is responsible for 100 percent of the costs related to this agreement. The FY 2019-20 Budget for the Sheriff-Coroner Department, as presented to the Board of Supervisors, includes appropriations and revenue for this agreement based on the FY 2018-19 agreement. Adjustments to reconcile positions with related appropriation and revenue to the adopted FY 2019-20 agreement will be requested in the FY 2019-20 First Quarter Budget Report.
