SHERIFF - ESTABLISH APPROPRIATIONS AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL ALCOHOL POLICING PARTNERSHIP (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The Sheriff’s Department’s ability to provide the highest quality public safety services is enhanced by the receipt of funding from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).
On September 29, 2020 (4), the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution related to the Fiscal Year 2020 ABC Alcohol Policing Partnership (APP) that includes authority to apply for and accept ABC APP funds in subsequent years provided there are no material changes to the grant terms or funding levels. This is a request to adopt a resolution and establish appropriations in the amount of $97,500 in grant funding from the ABC for the project period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
RECOMMENDATIONS
SHERIFF
1. Waive Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts - Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery, which requires full cost recovery for grants, as these grant programs do not recover full cost.
2. Establish appropriations of $97,500 in the Sheriff’s Department, for Salaries & Benefits for overtime ($92,500) and Services & Supplies ($5,000), based on unanticipated revenue from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control under its FY 2021-22 Alcohol Policing Partnership for the project period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. (4 VOTES)
3. Adopt a Resolution entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO RELATING TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL ALCOHOL POLICING PARTNERSHIP.
EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT
The Sheriff’s Department provides the highest quality public safety services to make San Diego the safest urban county in the nation. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Alcohol Policing Partnership (ABC APP) funds will be used to strengthen partnerships between ABC and local law enforcement agencies to address problematic businesses, keep alcohol away from minors, and implement education, prevention, and enforcement strategies, benefiting all of San Diego County residents.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this request are partially included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Operational Plan for the Sheriff’s Department. If approved, this request will result in current year estimated costs of $126,119 and revenue of $97,500. The funding sources are grant revenue from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control ($97,500) and existing General Purpose Revenue ($28,619) in the Sheriff’s Department. The grant revenue recovers Sheriff’s Department direct costs but does not reimburse all costs associated with administrative overhead and support estimated at $28,619. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

BACKGROUND
On September 29, 2020 (4), the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution related to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Alcohol Policing Partnership (APP) that includes authority to apply for and accept ABC APP funding in subsequent years provided there are no material changes to the grant terms or funding levels. On July 19, 2016 (4), the Board of Supervisors authorized the Sheriff and/or Sheriff’s designee, to review and execute all required grant and grant-related documents where necessary to carry out the purposes of, previously named the ABC GAP grant, in subsequent years provided there are no material changes to grant services or funding levels. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2019-20, ABC renamed this grant program to the Alcohol Policing Partnership (APP).
On June 10, 2021, the Sheriff received a letter of award from ABC in the amount of $97,500 for the project period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. This is a request to establish appropriations and adopt a resolution in the amount of $97,500 in grant funding from the ABC for the project period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.
During the project period and in collaboration with ABC, the Sheriff will utilize the ABC APP grant funds to reduce youth access to alcohol as well as alcohol related crimes in the community through education, prevention, and enforcement of ABC-related laws, including developing and implementing ABC training for department sworn staff, facilitating public service announcements, conducting undercover narcotic, shoulder tap, and minor decoy operations. Grant funds are also used for uniformed DUI patrols and evaluating compliance through Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies (IMPACT) inspections, followed by Retail Operating Standards Task Force (ROSTF) and multi-agency task force operations as needed. The Sheriff will utilize a regional approach, led and coordinated by a central grant management team with prior ABC APP grant experience. The management team will coordinate with and train representatives from each station to address individual station needs and overall departmental goals, while maintaining and enhancing the current model that can be followed in future grant years.
If approved, this request will result in Fiscal Year 2021-22 costs of $126,119 for Salaries & Benefits for overtime ($92,500) and Services & Supplies ($5,000). A waiver of Board Policy B-29 is requested as this revenue partially recovers Sheriff’s Department direct costs but does not reimburse all costs associated with administrative overhead and support estimated at $28,619.
LINKAGE TO THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO STRATEGIC PLAN
Today’s proposed actions support the Living Safely Initiative of the County of San Diego’s 2021-2026 Strategic Plan by providing grant funds that support vital public safety services.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM D. GORE
