| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Sheriff’s Boating Safety Program has been responsible for patrolling all waterways and conducting related search and rescue operations countywide since July 1973. The Boating Safety Section performs the vital function of ensuring citizen safety along the recreational waterways located within Yolo County. Marine patrol operations are funded with Public Safety funds, County General funds, State operational boating safety grant funds and local boat property tax revenue. While operational costs have increased over the past fiscal years due to both labor and non-labor cost increases, State operational boating safety grant awards has remained static. Therefore, the Sheriff’s Office may not always be able to immediately replacement or purchase of equipment when needed.
In the spring of 2020, the State’s Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) announced they had additional federal funds available for maintaining marine vessels and purchasing miscellaneous support equipment used to conduct boating safety activities for Fiscal Year 2020-21. The Sheriff’s Office submitted an application to replace the motor and retrofit the window console on their 22-foot patrol vessel and was awarded $27,968 in Law Enforcement Equipment Grant Funding for such upgrades. No matching funds are required from the County. The Sheriff’s Office received approval from the County’s Grant Committee to apply for this grant prior to submitting the application.
Board approval is now requested for the grant agreement and adoption of the budget resolution. The Sheriff's Office is also requesting Board authority to amend the 2020-21 Authorized Equipment List and purchase the fixed assets. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| County Counsel has approved the attached grant agreement and resolution as to form. Purchasing will assist with the acquisition of the fixed asset. |
| Competitive Bid Process |
| All equipment items will be obtained through the County’s RFP process. |
