HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07131999 - D2 To: BOARD OF SUPIEW '7R8 FROM: Warren E. Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner Centra DATE: June 2, 1999 Costa SUBJECT: Modification of l=ee Schedule County SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION($)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT the attached Office of the Sheriff- Contra Costa County, Forensic Services Division, Alcohol/DrugslToxicology Services Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 1999-2000. DIRECT the Auditor-Controller to create an interest-bearing account specifically for replacement of Forensic Services Capital equipment. All increased fees associated with adoption of this fee schedule will be placed in this account. FISCAL IMPACT: The adoption of the attached fee schedule will allow the County to recover the costs associated with the listed activities. Establishment of a Forensic Services Capital equipment replacement fund will allow the Office of the Sheriff to dedicate increased revenues to the replacement of obsolete scientific equipment. BACKGROUND: In the 1994-95 fiscal year, the Forensic Services Division was required to recover costs of all services from laboratory users. A fee schedule was established, which defined the costs of evidence examinations services to users of laboratory services. The Forensic Services Division has experienced increases in the costs of salaries, equipment replacement and maintenance costs, remodeling facilities, destruction or disposal of evidence and supply costs since the implementation of the 1997-98 fee schedule which is currently in use. The proposed fee schedule provides for a $7 increase (5%) in the hourly rate for Criminalistics examinations; a $4 increase (10.5%) for Alcohol Testing; and a $3 increase (4.4%) for analyzing Solid Dosage Drugs. The increased fees are expected to provide approximately$100,000 in additional revenue annually. The additional funds will be used to replace aged capital equipment in the laboratory. This action supersedes any prior evidence examination fees set by the Board of Supervisors. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Failure to adopt this fee schedule will result in insufficient revenue to offset the cost of the Criminalistics Laboratory. The County will bear the burden of the increased cost of providing laboratory examination services to law enforcement agencies and other entities requesting services.

FIX July 13, 1999 at 11:00 am for a public hearing on the proposed increase of certain Forensic Services Division fees in the Office of the Sheriff. 2. DIRECT the Office of the Sheriff to publish required notices pursuant to the Government Code. U. FINANCIAL IMPACT The approval of the proposed fee increase will allow the County to recover the costs associated with certain Forensic Services division activities. A copy of the modified fee schedule will be on file with the Cleric of the Board at least tern days prior to the scheduled hearing. M. REASONS FOR RECO?N1`NIENDATION/BA+CKGROUND In the 1994-1995 fiscal year,the Forensic Services Division was required to recover costs of our services from laboratory users. A fee schedule was established defining the costs of evidence examination services to users of laboratory services. The Forensic Services Division has experienced increases In the costs of salaries, equipment replacement and maintenance costs, remodeling facilities, destruction or disposal of evidence and supply costs since the implementation of the 1997/1998 fee schedule currently in use. The proposed fee schedule provides for a $7 increase (5%) in the hourly rate for Criminalistics examinations;provides for a$4 increase(10.5%)for the analyzing of Alcohol Testing, provides for a $3 increase (4.4%)for the,analyzing of Solid Dosage Drugs. The increase in fees are expected to provide approximately$100,000 in additional revenue annually. The additional funds can be used to replace aged capital equipment in the laboratory. This action supersedes any prior evidence examination fees set by the Board. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Negative action will result in insufficient revenue to offset the cost of these activities. The Office of the Sheriff will bear the burden of the Increased cost of providing laboratory examination services to law enforcement agencies and other enmities requesting service. 61 Cotrri* =ON AnAcmvmr` l U Yes SIGNA i'+t3rt.M: R€C080sx MATION Or COUNW A3714iI1VIITRATOR RWt7'NO""AfFION OF BOARD CoMNUTM APPROW 0 SIGN*ry s) AMON OF BOARD JUINr, ID, APYROYED AS RZCOMM�rifTMLE1 02frLrR VOTE OF SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY X IV OF AN ACTION TAKEN AND ENTERED ON THE MI,3U"TES OF L"`FAI�TIMOUS(ARSE T _ ) THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN. _ AYES.
