Should the Commission authorize the Executive Director to enter into contracts with POST certified presenters of the Emergency Vehicle Operation Course (EVOC) used in Learning Domain 19, during Fiscal Year 2019-20 in the amount not to exceed $4,333,5000.00?  This will also include providing reimbursement to a new presenter, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

For many years, the Commission has contracted with multiple presenters to deliver high cost training courses at a per student rate established in the contract.  During Fiscal Year 2018-19 the course was contracted with 18 presenters throughout the state. POST has identified four additional presenters who have been presenting the training but not receiving reimbursements, and one new presenter (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department).  For Fiscal Year 2019-20 we would like to increase it to 23 presenters.

The overall contracted amount proposed for Fiscal Year 2019-20 will increase $1,754,500.00 to a total of  $4,333,500.00.  (see Attachment A)
