To: Board of Supervisors
From: David O. Livingston, Sheriff-Coroner
Report Title: Dispatch Services for the City of Oakley
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract renewal with the City of Oakley to pay the County an amount not to exceed $820,000, for police dispatching services for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this request will result in $820,000 in revenue over a 1-year period. There is no County cost.
BACKGROUND:
The Office of the Sheriff will continue to provide police dispatching services, limited to law enforcement activity, for the City of Oakley. Services will include dispatching, call-taking, sending and receiving voice and data traffic, answering emergency (911) calls and warrant checks to aid the City of Oakley’s Police Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve, the Office of the Sheriff would not be able to provide the City of Oakley with adequate 911 dispatcher services, resulting in a safety concern for the community and reduced revenue for the Office of the Sheriff and the County General Fund.
