RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/141 to provide for salary increases for the Sheriff-Coroner and Sheriff-Coroner unrepresented sworn positions to parallel those in the new Deputy Sheriffs' Association Memorandum of Understanding (Management Unit) for the period July 1, 2016 and beyond.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The terms and conditions set forth in this action are estimated at a County FY 2016/17 cost of $137,000, including $60,500 in pension costs; the FY 2017/18 cost is $274,000, including $121,000 in pension costs; and the FY 2018/19 total cost of $388,000, including $171,000 in pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Contra Costa County has historically tied the Sheriff-Coroner and unrepresented sworn classes in the Sheriff-Coroner department to represented classes in the Deputy Sheriffs' Association Management Unit for purposes of salary increases and decreases. On March 29, 2016, the Board of Supervisors will consider adopting a new memorandum of understanding with the Deputy Sheriffs' Association Management Unit that includes wage increases. Resolution No. 2016/141 provides for a 5% wage increase each year effective July 1, 2016, 2017, and 2018 for the classes of Assistant Sheriff-Exempt (6XB2), Chief Police-Contract Agency-Exempt (6XF1), Commander-Exempt (6XD1), Sheriff-Coroner (6XA1), Undersheriff-Exempt (6XB4), and a 2.5% wage increase effective January 1, 1017 excluding the Sheriff-Coroner (6XA1).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County could be detrimentally impacted by the potential loss of highly-trained sworn personnel and it may become more difficult to attract candidates for promotion.
