Requested Action(s)
recommendation

body
Financial Impact:
The funding source for the agreement has been budgeted for FY 24/25 in the Professional Services accounts (53230), for the Jail (2032) and the Sheriff (2027) budget units.
Background Information:
The Sheriff’s Office has utilized Express Services since 2013, where they provide temporary staff to fill unexpected or hard to fill vacancies. The Sheriff’s Office is actively recruiting to fill those vacancies, but the temporary employees will assist the Office in day-to-day operations until these vacancies can be filled. Pursuant to Government Code Section 31000.4, the use of temporary help shall be limited to a period of not to exceed 90 days for any single peak load, temporary absence, or emergency situation. The positions include Clerical, Facilities Maintenance (Mechanical), and Cook.
We found there was an extra need that was previously unanticipated. By increasing the maximum compensation payable not to exceed (NTE) $120,000 from the original agreement (Misc. Agree 2024-209) of NTE $90,000 the Sheriff’s Office would be able to continue employing temporary staff until necessary vacancies are filled. If there are any deficits in either of these budget accounts, the fiscal staff will make the appropriate transfers within those services and supplies budget.
