Title
Consider recommendations regarding an agreement to Provide Law Enforcement Services between the County of Santa Barbara and the Cities of Buellton, Carpinteria, Goleta, and Solvang, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute four (4) separate agreements between the County of Santa Barbara and the Cities of Buellton, Carpinteria, Goleta, and Solvang for the Sheriff to provide law enforcement services for a term of four (4) years with an aggregate Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 revenue of $22,528,192.00, increasing by an annual escalator thereafter, and three (3) optional one-year extensions;
b) Approve Budget Revision Request No. 0009325 to decrease budgeted revenues of $890,800.00 in Sheriff General Fund in Charges for Services offset by an Intrafund Expenditure Transfer (-) from the General County Programs General Fund. Increase appropriations of $890,800.00 in General County Programs General Fund for Intrafund Expenditure Transfers (+) funded by release of Restricted Public Safety Prop 172 fund balance ($479,600.00) and Committed Litigation fund balance ($411,200.00); and
c) Determine that the recommended action is not a “Project” within the meaning of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4), since the recommended action is a government fiscal activity which does not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
