Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: The 25% County match of $10,333.50 will be met with OHV Vehicle In-Lieu Fees for staff overtime costs associated with law enforcement on the Rubicon Trail.
Background: Recent State legislation has made $5.2 million in Off-Highway Vehicle Grant funds available to California law enforcment agencies for OHV projects. The Sheriff's Office received an award in the amount of $41,334.00. Law enforcement salary and benefits and general operating expenses for law enforcement on the Rubicon Trail are eligible project costs under this grant. There is a 25% County Match which is proposed to be met through the use of OHV In-Lieu Fees to offset overtime costs paid to deputies who patrol the Rubicon during the OHV high-season months.
Reason for Recommendation: The Sheriff's Department wishes to take advantage of the awarded funding for law enforcement of the Rubicon
Action to be taken following Board approval: Sheriff's Department will forward the signed Project Agreement to the State Department of Parks and Recreation.
