Approve the Yolo County Fair Security Service Agreement with the 40th District Agricultural Association for the Sheriff's Office to provide security for the duration of the 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 Yolo County Fair and authorize Yolo County Sheriff’s Office signature authority on the agreement.

The Yolo County Sheriff's Office has historically provided the Yolo County Fair with security services.  In 2019, the 40th District Agricultural Association began contracting with the California Highway Patrol to provide security services at the fair through 2023. The Sheriff's Office provided a proposal for security services for the 2024 fair. The 40th District Agricultural Association fair manager submitted the proposed contract to the Fair Board and received approval to authorize the contract. The term of the contract is the duration of 2024 through the 2028 Yolo County Fair. The Sheriff's Office will receive $62,316 in revenue for the first year of the Agreement.  Compensation received will increase by 3% for each of the four subsequent years of the Agreement. 

The presence of Yolo County Sheriff's Office deputies at the County Fair ensures that all members of the public have a safe experience when visiting.  As this agreement is being made between two government entities, approval by the Board of Supervisors is required.  Authorization for Yolo County Sheriff’s Office signature authority on program-related documents is also requested at this time. 

County Counsel has approved the agreement as to form. 

As this is a revenue agreement, the competitive bid process does not apply. 

The Reimbursement revenues from the Yolo County Fair fully offset the projected 2024 Yolo County Fair security costs of $62,316 for the Sheriff’s Office. The appropriations and revenue will be included in the FY 2024-25 budget. Compensation received will increase by 3% for each of the four subsequent years of the Agreement.
