DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Human Resources Department recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution xxx-2016 to add five (5) Deputy Sheriff I/II positions to the Personnel Allocation in order to comply with the decision of the Court of Appeal and the subsequent order from the El Dorado County Superior Court, in the case of El Dorado County Deputy Sheriff's Association v. County of El Dorado, Superior Court Case No. PC20120637, Third Appellate District Case No C075615.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Court of Appeal affirmed in part and reversed in part a decision of the El Dorado County Superior Court that upheld two Resolutions of the BOS. The Court of Appeal upheld Resolution No. 145-2011 that created the classification of Sheriff Security Officer and reversed Resolution 146-2011 in part, in regard to the Board decision to delete 5 vacant positions in the law enforcement unit on grounds that the County failed to follow local rules that are set forth in the Employer/Employee Relations Resolution No. 10-83 (and as amended by No. 112-86 and 106-2005), section 8.
The Employer/Employee Relations Resolution (EERR) requires the Employee Relations Officer (defined as the CAO or duly authorized representative) to provide "notice and consultation" with the DSA before the BOS makes any decision to delete positions from the law enforcement bargaining unit.
Funding to fill these allocations is not included in the FY 2016-17 Recommended Budget.
