BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Lieutenant has overall responsibilities for a major program area in the Sheriff’s Office. This position will report to the American Canyon Police Chief and will include direct supervision over assigned staff. If approved, this request will add a 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) Lieutenant to the Sheriff’s Office.
The City of American Canyon contracts with the Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement services which includes adequate staffing. On May 21, 2022, the Sheriff’s Office contract with American Canyon was amended to add a 1.0 FTE Lieutenant. For the Sheriff’s Office to fulfill this service obligation, the Sheriff’s Office allocations need to be increased as there are no vacant positions to fulfill the contracted need. The expense of adding this position does impact the General Fund because the position’s salary and benefits will be charged there. However, the cost of adding this position will be fully offset by the additional revenue added to the contract amendment.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources and the Sheriff request adoption of a Resolution amending the Departmental Allocation List for the Sheriff’s Office by adding one 1.0 FTE Lieutenant, effective October 1, 2022.
