BACKGROUND
For over 21 years, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa has contracted with the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department to provide two full-time sheriff deputies for additional community-oriented policing duties at the Bayo Vista and Las Deltas housing developments. The deputies focus on deterring drug-related activities, eliminating violent crimes, and working closely with residents to provide services beyond those normally offered by the Sheriff's office.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for this service will not exceed $488,000 and is funded by the Housing Authority’s Operating Subsidy received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
If the Board of Commissioners does not approve this contract, the Sheriff's Department will not have sufficient resources to continue providing the necessary additional law enforcement services to the residents of the Bayo Vista and Las Deltas public housing communities.
