SUBJECT: /
Contract Agreement for Blood Withdrawal Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Sheriff-Coroner to execute on behalf
of the County a contract with Rosanne Beebe dba Blood Alcohol
Determinants in the amount of $ 90, 000 for the period November 1 ,
1988 - November 30, 1989 for the provision of blood withdrawal
services. _
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The funding for this contract is a continuing budget item in the
Driver Alcohol Program budget of the Sheriff' s Department for the
fiscal year 1988-89. Approximately $50 , 000 of the cost will be
reimbursed to the Driver Alcohol Program budget by the City police
agencies within the County who also use this service . Any part
of the contract which is not reimbursed by the Cities will be
paid for by fines collected from drinking drivers .
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND :
Execution of this contract renewal provides a continuing mechanism
for police officers to obtain blood samples from persons suspected
of driving underthe influence of alcohol and/or drugs and from
suspects in major crimes . The blood samples are essential
evidence in the continuing prosecution of these types of crime .
The implementation of Driver Alcohol Testing by the Sheriff-
Coroner Department in 1980 resulted in the elimination of blood
withdrawal services by local private laboratories . Since 1980,
the County has contracted for this service and made it available
to other law enforcement agencies . The Cities reimburse the
County for blood withdrawal from suspects in crimes other than
driving under the influence. The balance of the contract is paid
with fines collected for driver alcohol testing pursuant to Penal
Code Section 1463 . 14.
