Title
Sheriff’s Office recommending the Board authorize the Chair to sign the replacement Memorandum of Agreement between the Lake Tahoe Community College District and the El Dorado County Sheriff’s South Lake Tahoe Jail to provide education services for Culinary Arts program instruction to Jail inmates for an academic term commencing on September 17, 2013 and ending June 29, 2018.
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
Teaching and instruction will be provided by Sheriff’s South Lake Tahoe Jail staff. The anticipated revenue for the term of this agreement will be $2.50 per hour, per inmate, per fiscal year. This revenue will be used to offset any costs incurred for supplies used during instruction. Any expenses incurred not off-set by revenue received from the program will be absorbed by the Sheriff’s Office current FY 2013/14 budget, which would result in no additional changes to Net County Cost.

As is required by Board Policy C-17, Section 4.5, “...the Board of Supervisors approval shall be required for any contract term exceeding three (3) years inclusive of all amendments and regardless of dollar amount.”
