BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/463 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, 2019 and beyond.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The terms and conditions set forth in this action are estimated at a County FY 2019/20 cost of $177,000, including $81,000 in benefit costs; the FY 2020/21 cost is $173,000, including $79,000 in benefit; the FY 2021/22 total cost of $182,000, including $83,000 in benefit costs, and the FY 2022/23 total cost of $191,000, including $88,000 in benefit costs.

BACKGROUND:

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 June 18, 2019, the Board of Supervisors will consider

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

adopting a new memorandum of understanding with the Deputy Sheriffs Association Management Unit that includes wage increases. Resolution No. 2019/195 provides for a 5% wage increase each year effective July 1, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 for the classes of Assistant Sheriff-Exempt (6XB2), Chief Police-Contract Agency-Exempt (6XF1), Commander-Exempt (6XD1), Sheriff-Coroner (6XA1), and Undersheriff-Exempt (6XB4). And an additional 2.5% wage increase effective July 1, 2019 for the Sheriff-Coroner (6XA1), which was negotiated in the previous Deputy Sheriffs Association Management Unit contract.

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.
