RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to enter into a contract with the Central Narcotics Enforcement Team, including mutual indemnification, to reimburse the County for forensic services rendered for the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Contracts will allow for full cost recovery of providing forensic services to user agencies beginning in fiscal year 2010/11.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff’s Forensic Laboratory will continue to provide forensic services for evidence retrieved at crime scenes, a crime scene expert to provide technical advice for processing complex evidence issues, and witness and expert testimony for services rendered for contracting agencies. The Board of Supervisors approved a revision of the Forensic Services User Fee schedule, which implements a full-cost recovery model beginning in fiscal year 2010/11.
