RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to cancel the Police Services Contract with the City of Oakley effective May 7, 2016 and ADOPT Resolution No. 2015/148 abolishing certain positions associated with Oakley Police Services effective May 7, 2016

FISCAL IMPACT:

Contract cities pay for the annual costs of receiving service resulting in no net cost to the County, including annual pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB). However, because personnel staffing positions within contract cities are County employees, the County has incurred future pension and OPEB liabilities, in this case on behalf of the city of Oakley, which will continue once this contract has been terminated.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not take action to cancel the contract and abolish the positions used as part of the contract.

BACKGROUND:

On April 14, 2015, the Office of the Sheriff was notified by the Oakley City Manager that the Oakley City Council unanimously approved a resolution stating the City's intention to form its own municipal police department and electing not to extend its police services contract. By way of this notification, the City of Oakley provided the Office of the Sheriff with the contract required 12 month notice of intent to cancel their police services contract.

The Office of the Sheriff has determined that the contract with the City of Oakley will be canceled effective May 7, 2016.

The Office of the Sheriff is also requesting the 27 FTEs assigned to the Oakley contract be abolished per attached resolution. It is the intent of the Office of the Sheriff to reassign all displaced staff into vacant positions within other operating units of the Office of the Sheriff. No layoffs will result from the cancellation of this contract.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
