RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Bay Alarm Company, in the amount of $67,000 for scholarships, classes, and recruitment for the Law Enforcement Training Center for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, with the Sheriff’s Charities, Inc., serving as the fiscal agent.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$67,000 in revenue over two years; Budgeted.

BACKGROUND:

Bay Alarm provides scholarship funding in an effort to promote the education and training of local law enforcement recruits and officers. Additionally, Bay Alarm provides funding for advertisement along with event and media support for the recruitment of law enforcement officers. Board approval is requested due to changes in the County’s standard form contract indemnification language. The indemnification clause holds the County responsible for all legal costs incurred in the defense of a claim should the County choose to hire counsel separate from the indemnifying party.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This agreement consists of $28,000 for the first year, and $29,000 for the second year. Bay Alarm will donate an additional $5,000 in each year of the two-year term to be utilized at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Sheriff’s Charities, Inc. for such philanthropic purposes as are set forth in its Articles of Incorporation

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this contract will negatively impact law enforcement efforts in the County. Bay Alarm sponsorship assist in advertising for recruits, promotes awareness of the local availability of courses and services, allows for the continued curriculum that would otherwise be eliminated, and provides scholarships to qualified candidates.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
