FISCAL IMPACT: No increased General Fund costs are anticipated. All costs for services provided under these contracts are Trial Court Funding, California Rule 810, allowable and reimbursable by the Superior Court. The Court and the Sheriff anticipate that the amount specified in the payment provisions of the perimeter screening contract is sufficient to cover the costs of perimeter screening services. In the unlikely event that costs exceed that amount, the Sheriff will absorb such costs within the Sheriffs Office budget. BACKGROUND: On June 23, 1998 the Board of Supervisors authorized the County Administrator to execute an agreement with the Presiding Judge of the Contra Costa County Superior Court. Among other provisions, said agreement provided for the continuation of services by the County to the Court. The continued services referenced in that MOU included the Court Security services provided by the Office of the Sheriff. Government Code Section 77212.5 requires that the Superior Court enter into an agreement with the Sheriffs Office, which is statutorily responsible for providing security to the Superior Courts, for the provision of Court Security services. In addition to the Court Security services provided to the Superior Court, the Superior Court has requested that the Office of the Sheriff provide Perimeter Screening services at all courthouse facilities. Providing these additional services requires the addition of twenty Sheriffs Ranger and five Deputy Sheriff positions to the Sheriffs departmental personnel allocation.
