Supervisor Bibby advised that she has excused herself from the labor negotiations with the Sheriff’s Management and Deputy Sheriff’s Association due to a potential conflict of interest because of family members that are employed by the department; however, this discussion is regarding operations and she can participate. She expressed concern with the economy and being able to retain our employees, and she noted that there are costs and safety factors involved with employee turn-over. She also advised of a letter that the Board members received from the District Attorney offering to sit on a committee to work on resolving the issues.

He commented on their recruitment efforts; and he referred to an email from Supervisor Fritz relative to employees leaving because of him. He advised that each employee that has left, and the Unions, have expressed appreciation for him.

He advised the Director of Law Enforcement at the Attorney General’s Office of the situation and they have offered assistance for major crimes. He requested that the Board provide immediate intervention on behalf of the County and himself to resolve the staffing issues. Input from the public was provided by the following: Dick Hutchinson stated he supports raising the wages for the deputies to be comparable with the surrounding counties; and he presented the results of salary survey information that were obtained from the surrounding counties and a comparison of specific classification increases that have occurred in the County over the last couple of fiscal years in comparison with the deputies.

Codie Hart, Jail Officer, stated the employees are not leaving because of Sheriff Allen; and he advised that they stand behind the Sheriff. Marjorie Wass, speaking personally and professionally, stated she feels that the Board members need to realize that the law enforcement officers may be the first faces they see when they need help. They are our people and they provide assistance and offer compassion. She noted that the salary increase for her position was based on the Treasurer/Tax Collector functions, and she has been working with the Board to recognize that since 1996, the County Clerk/Elections functions have not been included in the salary reviews. She advised that she is now dropping that request and she supports the deputies. She stated she does not understand the negotiations; however, she feels that when the negotiations are contracted out, that you lose the personal connection in the process. Paul Oldale stated he is a volunteer at the Sheriff’s Department; however, this is his personal opinion. He referred to his work with the airlines and the high cost of training. He stated he feels that the County could retain the deputies and give a raise and save the training costs for hiring new deputies. He also referred to the situation in South American where the law enforcement personnel receive a substandard wage and many supplement their income by participating in illegal activities; and he stated we do not want to see that happen here. He referred to recent comments made by Supervisor Fritz and he stated he feels that this should stop. Ruth Sellers commented on her attendance at the Board meetings over the last ten years, and the Board’s actions to hire consultants and other expenditures. She commented on the amount of benefits paid to the MCMCO bargaining unit employees versus the deputies benefit package, and she asked why they are treated differently. She noted that the County operated without a County Administrative Officer for years; however, we cannot operate without the deputies and the Sheriff. She stated she feels that the Board needs to determine where the priorities are. Joe Williams, a life-long resident of the County, advised of his resignation letter of March 8th to the Sheriff as a Deputy Sheriff. He stated he has worked a second job and cannot make ends meet financially, and working seven days a week has exhausted him.

He stated he hopes to be able to continue as a reserve deputy, and he thanked Sheriff Allen. He noted that he brings home $2,100 a month as a deputy for his family. Steve Mason, resident for 25 years, stated he supports Sheriff Allen and the Department. He noted that he has worked with the deputies in his role as a State Parole Agent. He expressed concern that just now a committee is being called to study the problem, and he feels that it has been underestimated. He advised that the jail is packed, and if every offender was detained you would double the capacity. He stated he feels that there is a drug problem in the County and there is a chronic alcoholism problem and the level of crime will go up and we should not deny the problem. He stated he works with several agencies, and he feels that the law enforcement personnel here are among the finest people that he knows. He noted that the problem has been reported in the newspaper, but it does not seem to resonate. He stated he feels that the County is losing a tremendous asset, and he urged the Board to take action. Dennis Townsend, Chief of Law Enforcement for California Department of Forestry, commented on the investment in recruiting and retaining peace officers and the training that is involved. He stated he feels that Sheriff Allen is giving the County the highest return on its dollars. He stated the cost of a revolving door is extremely costly. He urged the Board to consider an adequate increase in salary and staffing for the department as the dollars are an investment in the community. Jeremy Dobson stated he has worked here for four years and recently resigned his position as a Deputy Sheriff. He commented on the training that is involved and he stated he cannot afford to live here on the salary. He noted that the dangers here are different than in the valley. Here the deputies are on their own without the quick back-up response that is available in the valley. He stated the deputies want to be able to provide for their families and afford a mortgage and a car payment. Al Ransom asked if the Board wants to find the crime that is occurring in the neighboring counties to find its way here. He urged support of the Sheriff. ---PAGE BREAK--- 4 3-14-06 Edward Mee stated he is a resident of Wawona with six generations of family in the County. He noted that he is seeing a lot of emotion from the citizens relative to the importance of their safety and the importance of the Board to ensure their safety. He noted that the deputies that have spoken know the County and its people. He advised that he spent 33 years in law enforcement and he did not apply to work at the Sheriff’s Department because of the pay and the reputation of the Department prior to Sheriff Matlock. He stated he feels that the County needs to prioritize and do what is important to the people. He referred to the previous discussion by the Board of raising its wages to attract qualified people, and he stated he feels that the same goes for the deputies. Mark Fogh, Deputy Sheriff, stated he has worked for seven years for the Department and serves as a senior field training officer. He stated he is a paid decision maker for the Department; however he feels that he has to look after his family first and then the Department. He noted that in the past the Board supported him as a member of the Army Reserve; and now he is being offered more money to serve in the Army than he makes as a Deputy, and the benefits are good. He stated he cannot afford a mortgage to buy a house. He stated the rumors that employees are leaving because of the Sheriff are not true; and they stand behind their Sheriff one hundred percent. He noted that one deputy left with bad feelings; but he spoke with the deputy and has a letter to prove that the deputy supports the Sheriff. He stated it is just a matter of time as to when he will leave, but he asked the Board to look after the other deputies for the betterment of the County. Bob Bruner stated he recently became the Jail Sergeant, and he referred to the PORAC magazine and the job listings with higher wages and benefits, including signing bonuses. He noted that some of the deputies started in the Jail and went to the academy to become deputies. He commented on his family members that are in law enforcement in the State and the extra “freebies” that they receive – free transit and movies and reduced restaurant meal costs. He noted that Sheriff Allen has held his employees to a higher ethical standard and does not allow for this. He stated he is retired from the military and his retirement check is higher than what most County employees make; he owns an 18- wheeler and rental properties, and he left a high paying job. He does not live here for the money. He referred to an accident his wife had last year and the high medical costs, and he stated they have been meeting their financial obligations on a month-to-month basis now. He stated he does not see how the deputies and their families can make ends meet. They just want a fair wage and to be able to own a home and a car and to support their family. He also commented on the 4 ½ percent cost-of-living increase that he received on his military retirement and he stated that it does not meet inflation; however, the County does not even offer that much. Ed Sinclair stated he is a life-long resident of the County and his father retired from the Sheriff’s Department. He has been there full time for eight years and he takes home $2,200 at the top step. He commented on the amount of training and experience that is being lost with the deputies that are leaving. He stated he has decided to leave and he is in the hiring process with another agency in the State. He stated he finds the rumors appalling that people are leaving because of Sheriff Allen. Donna Brownell stated she is present because she wants the Board to understand that Mariposa is important to her. She commented on the training that is involved with the law enforcement. She noted that the Board needs to make a decision on the type of community to build and to consider the impacts of UC Merced and the law enforcement needs. She stated she feels that we need competitive wages. Bob Brown, District Attorney, commented on a letter that he delivered to the Board members offering his assistance in this matter and suggesting that a public safety committee be formed. He noted that when he heard that Deputy Williams was resigning, he called the Sheriff and asked what was going on and he reviewed the statistics of the staffing changes that are occurring. He stated he is dependent on the Sheriff’s Department to provide adequate and quality investigations to prosecute the cases. He stated he feels that this is an important matter that has to be addressed, and that we do not have time to study it. He asked that the Chairman direct that the Board’s liaison members for public safety meet with the Sheriff and the County Administrative Officer and himself. Roger Matlock, former Sheriff, provided information on the recruitment, retention and quality of staffing efforts that he and subsequent Sheriffs have worked on. He commented on the quality of the job the employees have been doing, and he commented on the need to build the organization from within. He implored the Board to cut through the red tape and rectify this situation. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5 3-14-06 Brian Muller, Undersheriff, stated he started with the Department in 1980 and it did not have the best reputation and there was distrust by the community; and he noted that there has been a transformation since Sheriff Matlock. However, he feels that in spite of the positive changes, that had it not been for the staff living the philosophy and showing a sincere care for the community, he does not feel that we would have the level of care and trust that is coming from the community. He stated he is hurt and disgusted by what is happening as they have worked so hard and that is being torn apart in a matter of months. He stated he cannot blame the employees for leaving because they are leaving to provide for a better home for their family. But he noted that they have a love for this community and for the department and with that being torn away, that consideration needs to be given to the affect the vacancies will have on the community. He noted that Madera County pays less; however, they have twelve vacant positions and Sheriff Anderson is going to be making a presentation to his Board requesting a $1,000 a month raise for the deputies. Per his discussion with the Deputy’s Association in Tuolumne County, there are 14 to 16 open positions and they have similar pay and retirement and perhaps better benefits; and they are negotiating an 18-22 percent, 3-year contract. He noted that when the Board members took their oath of office, it was to look out for the best interest of the community and the employees and he asked that they remember what that means. Mrs. Land stated her husband is a Deputy Sheriff, and she advised that he has been looking elsewhere for a job, and the thought of leaving is hard for them. She noted that they are living off of credit cards; and she had to go to work so that they could afford for their children to play sports. Motion by Supervisor Fritz to have a committee comprised of Supervisors Turpin and Fritz (the justice liaison committee), County Counsel, District Attorney and the Sheriff to meet to address the concerns, was held pending further discussion. Further discussion was held. Jim Allen responded to questions from the Board and recommended that the Undersheriff and Captains be on the committee. He also advised of his meeting with Judge Walton and concerns with having staffing to be able to provided back-up security to the bailiffs at the Courthouse.

He stated he feels that both sides need to respect each other, and he noted that other departments are also having a difficult time with staffing issues. Tom Guarino, County Counsel, suggested that the Board’s standing ad hoc committee work with the Sheriff and the District Attorney and whatever technical assistance is needed to avoid any Brown Act issues. Supervisor Pickard stated he feels that this is an important issue and he asked that the motion stand to create a committee.
