Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Sheriff's Office is requesting to purchase three vehicles to replace aging units in their Patrol section. Replacement vehicles for those that have passed their end of life usefulness, are unreliable, or unusable, have been a historically requested budget item necessary for the Sheriff to perform its law enforcement duties. These vehicles were requested during the normal budget process for Fiscal Year 2025. However, due to limited ongoing and one-time funding being available, these budget augmentation requests were denied. Sheriff's staff has identified realized and projected salary savings in the Detention Budget Unit sufficient to fund the purchase of these items.
Because the requested vehicles are fixed asset items, the Sheriff's Office is also requesting Board authority to amend the 2024-25 Authorized Equipment List.
Because the requested vehicles are fixed asset items, the Sheriff's Office is also requesting Board authority to amend the 2024-25 Authorized Equipment List.
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)
County Counsel has approved the attached resolution as to form. Purchasing will assist with the procurement of the fixed assets.
Competitive Bid Process/Vendor Performance
Fixed assets will be purchased using the state bid for vehicles.

The FY 2024/25 Detention Budget has sufficient funding to purchase the requested equipment. The Sheriff’s Office now requests approval of a budget resolution to move $360,000 from the major object Salaries and Benefits in the Detention budget to the major object Equipment in the Patrol Budget.
