DATE: June 23, 2020
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator
SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendment - Sheriff's Office Court Services Unit
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Amendment to the Salary Resolution deleting twenty-one positions from the Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator's Org 3111, effective June 29, 2020, as reflected in Appendix C.
REPORT
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended action will delete the following twenty-one vacant positions from the Sheriff's Court Services Unit (CSU): one Sheriff's Sergeant, two Deputy Sheriff IV, ten Deputy Sheriff I/II/III, and eight Community Service Officers. The deletion of these vacant positions will reduce the staffing level in the Sheriff's CSU to a level that can be supported by the Trial Court Security allocation. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended action is not approved, the Sheriff's Office will not be able to maintain the 140 positions as outlined within the current Sheriff and Superior Court Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as the Trial Court Security allocation is no longer sufficient to support the 140 positions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Deletion of these vacant positions is needed as Trial Court Security allocation funding is no longer able to sustain the costs associated with the Sheriff's CSU current number of allocated positions. The estimated cost associated with the twenty-one positions will result in a decrease of $2,482,005 in salaries and benefits and anticipated revenues within the Sheriff's CSU for FY 2020-21 and thereafter. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenue reductions will be included in the FY 2020-21 Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator's Org 3111 budget and in future requested budgets.
DISCUSSION:
In FY 2011-12, the California State Legislature...
