RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the City of Lafayette to amend the level of services effective January 1, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of this action is approximately $45,145 to the Office of the Sheriff's General Fund, of which $1,194 are retirement costs. This will be offset by the City of Lafayette’s law enforcement contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, there may be a lack of supervision during critical incidents in a city with a growing population.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Lafayette began its law enforcement service contract with the County on July 1, 1983. This contract has original language in which the County was to provide twelve (12) full-time peace officers: one (1) Sergeant and eleven (11) Deputy Sheriffs. Effective July 1, 1984, the contract was amended to add one (1) Lieutenant. Effective July 1, 2001, the contract was amended again to increase the total full-time peace officer positions to fifteen (15). Due to the increased population and liability, the City of Lafayette has the need to increase the supervision of its contracted police department. The City of Lafayette would like to adjust the peace officer staffing by canceling one (1) vacant Deputy Sheriff position and adding one (1) full-time Sergeant position, effective January 1, 2022.
