DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On November 15, 2016, in accordance with Board policy A-3 - Ordinances - New or Amended, the Board conceptually approved the repeal of Section 2.15.090 to bring the County ordinance in line with state law.
Currently, County Ordinance Sec 2.15.090 requires California Residency for any deputy who is deputized by the County of El Dorado. This ordinance was originally adopted by the Board on November 28, 1972 as County Ordinance 1247 and codified as 4123.5. In 1997, the County Codes were re-organized and the Ordinance was changed to Code Section 2.53.310. In 2014, there was another re-organization moving the ordinance to its current Code Section 2.15.090.
On June 30, 2006 Senate Bill 1241 repealed section 24103 of the California Government code which required Sheriff’s Office deputies to be citizens of the State of California. The Sheriff’s Office is requesting that County Ordinance Sec 2.15.090 be repealed in order to be in line with State Law.
