FROM: Deanna Cantrell, Police Chief
Prepared By: Melissa Ellsworth, Senior Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: FY 2018 CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL AGREEMENT FOR BACKFILL
REIMBURSEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo,
California, authorizing the Chief of Police or Designee to enter into a contract with the California
Highway Patrol” to provide for the reimbursement backfill costs associated with personnel
attending the CHP Drug Recognition Evaluator Training course in an amount not to exceed
$50,000.
DISCUSSION
Per Senate Bill 94, the California Highway Patrol may reimburse California law enforcement
agencies participating in the CHP Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE) training and CHP DRE Field
Certification for costs incurred. The agreement between CHP and the San Luis Obispo Police
Department only includes reimbursement for backfill costs associated with officers taking the
training.
The Police Department is responsible for enrolling officers into the DRE courses; if an officer does
not complete the training no reimbursement shall be requested or paid. All related training for the
department will be completed before June 30, 2019. After training is complete, staff will submit an
invoice no later than 30 days to CHP as outlined in the agreement.
Due to the timing of training, Council approval is requested after training has been completed. If
Council chooses not to adopt the resolution, staff will not submit a claim for reimbursement costs
related to backfill.
CONCURRENCES
The Finance Department concurs with this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
No environmental review necessary for this request as it is not a “project” under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Reimbursement received from CHP reimburses costs associated with backfilling for officers
attending training.

ALTERNATIVE

adopt the resolution and enter into a contract, the City would pay for overtime related to
backfilling for training.
