Executive Summary:
The Sheriff’s Office requests that the Board authorize the Sheriff to execute the supplemental law enforcement services agreement with Sonoma Raceway to provide security services at the NASCAR Race events and receive reimbursement for direct and indirect costs estimated at $144,833. This is the Sheriff’s Office twenty-eighth consecutive year providing these services.
Discussion:
Background. Government Code Section 53069.8 allows the Board of Supervisors to contract on behalf of the Sheriff to provide supplemental law enforcement services to private entities. Resolution 16-0102 authorizes the Sheriff to execute any contract for supplemental law enforcement services on behalf of the County that does not exceed $50,000. Any contract over the $50,000 threshold continues to require Board of Supervisors authorization. Additionally, the Board annually adopts an ordinance establishing fees for security services.
The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office has been providing special security services to Sonoma Raceway for the past twenty-seven years. The services provided under this agreement are above and beyond the normal level of law enforcement services provided to the community by the Sheriff's Office. The County is reimbursed by Sonoma Raceway for both the direct and indirect costs of providing these special security services.
Request. The scope of services to be provided includes sergeant, deputy, dispatcher, and community service officer staff time, and patrol cars staggered over the four days from June
20, 2019 through June 23, 2019. The cost of these services is estimated at $144,833. The agreement is substantially the same as the Board approved agreements from prior years in terms of staffing and cost. The services to be provided will in no way interfere with regular law enforcement services provided by the Sheriff’s Office. The operational costs and
corresponding revenue reimbursement are included in the Sheriff’s Office FY 18-19 adopted budget.
Prior Board Actions:
Board approved annual Sheriff’s Office fee ordinance, which sets the fee for security services provided by the Sheriff’s Office.
Board has approved annual security service agreements since 1991.
