RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No.5057 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $321,400 for the Law Enforcement Training Center and appropriating it for the purchase of seven training vehicles.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenue and appropriations by $321,400.

BACKGROUND:

Currently, the Sheriff's Fleet consists of approximately 400+ vehicles of many different types. These vehicles are used to meet the operational goals and objectives of the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff. Within the Internal Service Fund (ISF), vehicles reaching a pre-designated mileage mark or in need of excessive repairs are replaced as a matter of course.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Non-ISF designated vehicles are vehicles gifted, procured through DRMO (Military Surplus), or purchased using funds from awarded Grants or other departmental sources (General Fund).

Some of these Non-ISF vehicles are depreciated within the County's General Fund; these funds are available through appropriation adjustment to be used toward the purchase of replacement vehicles. Most Non-ISF vehicles have no depreciation value and thus it is incumbent upon the unit to request funding in order to continue programs. In the due course of normal business, it is sometimes necessary to add vehicles to the existing fleet to accommodate an increase of personnel and move forward with new programs and services.

The Law Enforcement Training Center (LETC) has eight 1997-2007 Ford Crown Victorias that are non-ISF vehicles. These police pursuit vehicles are used at LETC for both Academy and In-Service training. Typically, these vehicles do not accumulate high mileage due to the assignment of driving the Emergency Vehicle Operation Course repeatedly, but wear and tear on these vehicles is significant. The eight vehicles have a total Contra Costa County Depreciated Value of $153,746.40, broken down as follows:

Vehicle # Depreciation Amt
1946 $ 20,018.76
1950 $ 20,002.29
1947 $ 19,990.99
1951 $ 20,005.97
1948 $ 19,984.59
2926 $ 20,816.00
1949 $ 19,984.59
0772 $ 12,943.21
Total Depreciation $153,746.40

The total cost of purchase and outfitting the vehicles is $321,375.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Appropriations will not be authorized to effectuate the purchase of replacement vehicles at the LETC.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
