| ISSUE, BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, & RECOMMENDATION |
| ISSUE: |
| Should the Commission authorize the Executive Director to contract with an entity for support of the Executive Development Course (EDC) during FY 2017-18 in an amount not to exceed $261,234? |
| BACKGROUND: |
| The EDC is designed for all sworn executive managers in the POST program of the rank of lieutenant and higher who have completed the Management Course. An agency chief executive must successfully complete the EDC to receive the POST Executive Certificate. During FY 2016-17 the five presentations of the 80-hour EDC were completely booked, with student overages in some of the classes. The amount of the EDC contract for FY 2016-17 was $217,695. |
| ANALYSIS: |
| In FY 2017-18, the EDC will be restored to its normal offering of six classes. This is an increase of one from the offerings in FY 2016-17, and is necessary to meet high student demand. The normal offering of six classes was reduced in prior years in order to meet budget shortfall objectives. Based upon recent experience, it is anticipated all six sessions will be filled. The EDC will be presented applying contemporary adult learning principles and employ a variety of learning exercises, reading assignments, and group activities. Per class contract cost remains the same for FY 2017-18, with a total annual contract cost not to exceed $261,234. Attachment A reflects the cost breakdown. |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| Staff recommends the Commission authorize the Executive Director to enter into a contract with an entity to provide support for the EDC program during FY 2017-18 at a cost not to exceed $261,234. |
