| ISSUE, BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, & RECOMMENDATION |
| ISSUE: |
| Should the Commission authorize the Executive Director to enter into recurring contracts with POST certified presenters of the Basic Driver Training Courses (EVOC), Basic Motorcycle Courses, Motorcycle Update Courses, and Basic Narcotics Courses during FY 2015-16 in the amount not to exceed $2,821,678? |
| BACKGROUND: |
For many years, the Commission has contracted with various presenters to deliver high cost training courses including the Basic Driver Training Courses (EVOC), Basic Motorcycle Courses, Motorcycle Update Course, and Basic Narcotics Course at a per student cost established in the contacts. During FY 2014-15, these courses were contracted with 17 presenters in an amount that did not exceed $1,662,488.
On June 27, 2013, the Commission approved an increase of the per student rate to $1,000 for all Basic Driver Training Courses (EVOC) effective August 1, 2013. This increase was based upon the implementation of the new Training and Testing Specifications, increases of the minimum hours per class and instructional staff instruction, and higher fuel consumption. The Commission approval of the increase in the EVOC per student rate increased the overall contracted amount to a total of $2,821,678. |
| ANALYSIS: |
Due to a variety of factors, several academies experienced reduced attendance and presentations in FY 2013-14. In FY 2014-2015 the cost of presentations has increased due to the enrollment of more trainees eligible for reimbursement. However, due to financial constraints, the overall contracted amounts proposed for FY 2015-16 for the Basic Driver Training (EVOC), Basic Motorcycle Training, Motorcycle Update, and Basic Narcotics Course will remain at the current level and not exceed $2,821,678 (see Attachment A). During the fiscal year, staff may reevaluate the need to increase the individual contracts to accommodate large numbers of trainees.
Contract agreements are proposed for the courses specified above with the following agencies and college presenters:
- Alameda County Sheriff's Department
- Allan Hancock College
- Butte-Glen Community College District
- Contra Costa Sheriff's Department
- Fresno Police Department
- Los Angeles Police Department
- Napa Valley College Criminal Justice Training Center
- Oakland Police Department
- Orange County Sheriff's Department
- Riverside County Sheriff's Department
- Sacramento Police Department
- San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department
- San Diego Police Department
- Santa Rosa Training Center
- South Bay Regional Training Consortium
- Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office Regional Training Center
- Ventura County Sheriff's Department |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| Staff recommends that the Commission authorize the Executive Director to enter into recurring contracts with the agencies and colleges described above to train a maximum of 2,806 students in Basic Driver Training (EVOC), Basic Motorcycle Training, Motorcycle Update Training, and Narcotics Training courses in an amount not to exceed $2,821,678 for FY2015-16. |
