PREPARED BY: Police Department
MEETING DATE: December 9, 2024
SUBJECT:
San Mateo County Gun Relinquishment Task Force — Amendment RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an Amendment to the agreement with the County of San Mateo to maintain the assignment of one Police Officer to the Gun Relinquishment Task Force by extending the term for two years through November 20, 2026 and increasing the amount reimbursable to the City by $600,000 for a new total amount of $1,300,000; and ratify the execution of the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City of San Mateo has assigned a Police Officer to the Countywide Gun Relinquishment Task Force (GRTF) since 2022.
The GRTF operates out of the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office to coordinate and share resources among law enforcement agencies to enforce unlawful firearm possession laws, promote safety, and reduce gun violence. The term of the current agreement concluded November 20, 2024, and all parties wish to continue the assignment of a Police Officer to the GRTF, so that the City and County can continue to work collaboratively on these efforts. The Chief of Police has executed the amendment to extend the term and ensure continuity. The Council action requested is to ratify and formally approve the execution of the amendment, making it officially valid.
The Amendment to the Agreement will extend the term through November 20, 2026, and correspondingly increase the total amount authorized to be paid in reimbursement by $600,000, for a new total amount of $1,300,000. The City will receive full reimbursement of all costs of the Police Officer assigned to the GRTF.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The County will provide full reimbursement to cover the salary, benefits, and task force related overtime for the Officer assigned. The anticipated reimbursement revenue has already been planned for in the FY24/25 budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)
