Caltrans District 3 Office of Local Assistance has requested that the Board of Supervisors approve a resolution prior to May 1, 2015 for the new maintained mileage even if there have been no changes. The County maintained mileage for the previous year (ending December 31, 2014) was determined to be 1,299.998 miles. The calculated mileage to be submitted this year is 1,299.205 miles, which is a decrease of 0.793 miles. This decrease is primarily due to annexations to the City of Chico and updates in GIS data.

In these situations, the Sheriff's Office utilizes the services of Elite to monitor the inmate while in the hospital. The Sheriff's Office has used Elite's services extensively and has subsequently searched for other security providers and is currently working towards entering into contractual relationships with them in order to expand the list of providers. At this juncture, we are requesting to increase the maximum payable to Elite to $328,500 and extend the contract term through March 27, 2017. This is a two year maximum payable increase of $223,501 lending more flexibility to the Sheriff's Office when the need for immediate security services is required action requested - APPROVE AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.

The SEU often patrols areas of Butte County that are only accessible with special All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV). SEU is requesting to utilize an ATV that was seized and forfeited.
