SUBJECT: Forensic Specialist Contract
SPECIFIC RMUEST(s)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&8ACKOROUND AI40 JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the Sheriff-Coroner, or his designee, to execute on behalf of the County,<a
contract with Stephen M. Ojenal, for Forensic Specialist services for the period January 1, 1999 to
December 31, 1999.
11, FINANCIAL IMPACT
County funding in an amount not to exceed $34,435 (annually) for this service is offset by revenue
generated by forensic work conducted by the Forensic Specialist. The revenue adjustment has been
included in the Forensic Services budget.Specific terms will be contained in the contract to be hereafter
executed.
Ill. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Forensic Services Division of the Office of the Sheriff provides forensic examination services to all
law enforcement agencies in the County on a fee for service basis. Periodically,the Division contracts
with Skilled forensic professionals to augment the Division staff, so as to better meet the needs of its
clients,to add new examination services or to train new employees.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The existing staff do not have the capacity to handle the caseload volume in a timely manner.
Contract employees permit a more timely response to client requests and are a source of revenue
from cases that would not normally be able to be worked. Use of t ct employees to train
and implement new programs is more cast effective than pulling ore costly s f from revenue
generating casework to provide training and to add,programs.
