Background and Discussion:
The County annually reviews and, if necessary, updates contract patrol rates to reflect actual costs in accordance with Local Government Code 351.062 which requires the contract fees to recover 100% of the county's cost. Historically, the contract rate has been based on the county's direct cost of salary, benefits, vehicles, fuel, equipment and supplies with no indirect cost recovery for support services provided by departments such as Universal Services, the County Attorney, County Auditor, and Facilities.
