SUBJECTS Marine Patrol Boat Acquisition
SPECIFIC RECUESTM OR RECOMMENDATIONIS) A BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
The current staffing level consists of two deputies, one seasonal deputy and twenty-
two reserves.
The Board of Supervisors and the Sheriff are continuing to petition our State
legislators for funds to be mandated for the reinstatement and enhancement of the
boating safety and enforcement programs. -
Increasing the Marine Patrol staffing level will require modern and efficient
equipment.. Two of our current patrol boats are equipped with jet pumps and have
proven inefficient for boating safety and law enforcement work in the California
Delta, which is our primary area of activity.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The latest decommissioned patrol boat, a 1987, 22 foot, Farallon, needs a new engine
and jet pump at a cost of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000.00). The Patrol boat
was declared unserviceable by the State and taken out of service, leaving Marine
patrol with only three State owned patrol boats. The remaining three boats are 7
to 9 years old.
The State currently has the money to grant to the County. The money may not be
available at a later date. The building time for a new boat is ninety to one hundred
days.
