SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) requests approval of Amendment #4. The MCSO operates an Adult Detention facility in Salinas. The average daily population of this facility is anywhere from 950 inmates to as high as 1100 inmates per day. The County is required to provide all inmates with three meals a day, at county expense, per Title 15 regulations.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, per section 4.7 of RFP#10538, Aramark will provide additional staff due to the decrease of 15 offenders who provided the inmate labor for the kitchen. This increase in Aramark staff will only be temporary.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Counsel has approved the agreement as to legal form, and the Auditor-Controller has reviewed the fiscal provisions.
FINANCING:
This additional $600,000 is part of the Sheriff's CARES Act Budget that was approved by the Board on August 18. The Sheriff's Office will be going back to the Board to request for an increase in Appropriations for unbudgeted COVID-19 Expenditures that includes this $600,000 funded by CARES Act.
