| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In 2002, Yolo County entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation (Tribe) to receive compensation of County services provided to the Tribe for gaming operations. The Tribe is located in the Capay Valley within Yolo County where they operate Cache Creek Casino Resort, a resort that includes hotel rooms, entertainment facilities (restaurants/tasting rooms, concert hall, golf, and spas/pools) and a gaming operation (slot machines and table games). The 2002 intergovernmental agreement was set to expire in 2020, so Yolo County and the Tribe agreed to renegotiate and renew the agreement prior to the end date.
On April 4, 2017, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors approved an intergovernmental agreement (Agreement No. 17-53) with the Tribe to fund various County functions, which includes fire and law enforcement service, local enhancement projects/initiatives/services to the communities of Capay Valley, and a portion of a gambling addiction program. Agreement No. 17-53 also includes a section that provides the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office (Sheriff’s Office) with additional monies to expand law enforcement services due to the Tribe’s upcoming Hotel Expansion project, which includes two additional deputies at $150,000 each and two to four additional vehicles. Due to recent discussions between the Sheriff’s Office and the Tribe, it was determined that the deputy staffing and funding levels were not sufficient to meet the Tribe’s requested law enforcement service needs. The Sheriff’s Office would require four deputies at $170,000 each. On November 19, 2019, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors approved another intergovernmental agreement (Agreement No. 19-240) with the Tribe for the expansion portion only, which includes four deputies at $170,000 each and two to three additional vehicles. Agreement No. 19-240 supersedes the expansion section under Agreement No. 17-53 only.
Under Agreement No. 19-240, the Tribe would pay Yolo County a prorated amount of $568,247 for FY 2019-20, which includes the following:
| FY 19-20 Tribe Funding for Expansion |
|
| Four Deputies (prorated from 11/19/19 - 6/30 /20) |
$418,247 |
| Two Vehicles ($75,000 each) |
150,000 |
| Total |
$568,247 |
In the Sheriff’s Office FY 2019-20 Adopted Patrol Budget, $364,371 of the $568,247 for two deputies and one vehicle were already approved during the recommended budget process. The Sheriff’s Office requests Board authority to increase appropriations and estimated revenue in the Sheriff’s Office FY 2019-20 Adopted Patrol Budget by the remaining amount of $203,876, which would pay for two additional prorated deputies and an additional vehicle. Of the $203,876, $128,876 would be allocated in Salary and Benefits and $75,000 would be allocated to Capital Assets.
The Sheriff's Office is also requesting Board authority to amend the 2019-20 Authorized Equipment List and purchase the additional vehicle. |
