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.

Io RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. 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.
