Body
OVERVIEW
Today’s actions reflect the compensation changes that have been negotiated with the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association of San Diego County (Deputy Sheriffs’ Association) which represents the Sheriff’s Management (SM) and the Deputy Sheriffs (DS) Units. The County and Deputy Sheriffs’ Association reached a tentative agreement on three-year Memoranda of Agreement which are currently undergoing the Association’s ratification process. The proposed changes to the compensation ordinance reflect the negotiated changes in salary and benefits for these employees. If ratified by the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, the Memoranda of Agreement will be presented to your Board for consideration and approval on June 13, 2023.
Today’s recommendations are for the Board to approve the introduction of an ordinance (first reading) to amend the Compensation Ordinance. If the Board takes action as recommended, and the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association has ratified the tentative Memoranda of Agreement, then on June 13, 2023, staff recommends the Board adopt the ordinance (second reading). If the proposed ordinance is altered on June 13, 2023, then on that date a subsequent meeting date will be selected for the ordinance adoption.
