Rick Peresan, representing the Lion’s Club, stated that he also has an interest in this matter as Technical Services Director; and he requested that the County sponsor the event for insurance purposes. Discussion was held relative to the insurance issues.

Kathy Delaney advised that this presentation is not age appropriate for the elementary school students; however, the committee has discussed developing a curriculum for that level. Supervisor Bibby clarified that the County sponsorship of the event is only for the portion being held at the Fairgrounds. (M)Fritz, (S)Aborn, Res. 07-27 was adopted finding that the “Project Safe Childhood” is a program that provides a public benefit in order to provide meals to the public participants; authorizing the portion of the event to be held at the Fairgrounds to be sponsored by the County for insurance purposes; authorizing the Chair to sign the agreement with the Fairgrounds; and approving the budget action.

Benson, County Administrative Officer; Approve an Agreement with the Newly Formed Yosemite/Mariposa County Tourism Bureau and Authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to Sign the Agreement; Approve Budget Action Reducing General Contingency $275,000 to Fund Agreement (4/5ths Vote Required) BOARD ACTION: Chair Bibby advised that public input would be received on this item at this time, after a brief introduction of the item by the County Administrative Officer, and then the matter would be continued to this afternoon for Supervisor Pickard to be present. Rick Benson presented the staff report. Input from the public was provided by the following: Ruth Catalan asked for clarification of the funding amounts and whether the funds are in the budget. She stated she feels that $275,000 for five months is too much; and she asked how much is anticipated to be needed for the coming year and questioned what the County is getting for this. Rick Benson responded relative to the questions concerning the funding. Leroy Radanovich, Interim Tourism Coordinator, provided input on the request to transfer the computer and furniture to the Bureau; and on the advertising program for the County. Ruth Sellers stated she feels that the privatization is a great way to go; however, she has questions relative to the process. She asked whether there are any ordinances that tie this function to the County budget and whether there are any documents that need to be changed for the privatization. She also asked if the County is tied in any way to provide funding on an on-going basis. Thomas P. Guarino, County Counsel, advised that the tourism function is assigned under the supervision of the County Administrative Officer. He advised that today’s action is on a contract for services with the Bureau; and the Department will remain intact as no positions have been abolished. There are issues that still need to be resolved with the transition. Future funding is a budgetary decision to be made on an annual basis. Rick Benson noted that this agreement ends with this fiscal year, and that it is anticipated that the Tourism Bureau will come back and make requests for future funding and the Board will need to make the decisions. However, if the Board does not provide funding, the Bureau will not be able to exist. Leroy Radanovich noted that this is a performance-based agreement. The matter was continued to later this date. 11:27 a.m. CLOSED SESSION: Conference with Real Property Negotiator; Description of Real Property: Juanita Moore/SPCA Property Located on Corner of Bullion Street; Agency Negotiator: Thomas P. Guarino, (Continued from January 16, 2007) (County Counsel) BOARD ACTION: (M)Aborn, (S)Fritz, the closed session was held/Ayes: Aborn, Turpin, Bibby, Fritz; Excused: Pickard. Chair Bibby noted that the Board would reconvene at 2:30 p.m. 11:37 a.m. – LUNCH 2:09 p.m. Kris Schenk, Planning Director; LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCo) Meeting (See Separate Minutes) 2:32 p.m. The Board of Supervisors reconvened with all members present. Chair Bibby announced that information was provided and that no action was taken as a result of the closed session. Consent Agenda item 3 – authorization for additional hours for maintenance workers for extra help in the Solid Waste Division. Rick Benson, County Administrative Officer, advised that they are still trying to get a clear interpretation relative to the PERS issues and recommended that the matter be continued to February 6th. The Board concurred. Supervisor Aborn; Increase the Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator Salary to Ten-Percent (10%) Above that of the Undersheriff Classification’s Salary with all Eligible Longevity and Incentive Pay; Approve Budget ---PAGE BREAK--- 5 1-23-07 Action Transferring Funding from the Public Administrator Fund to the Sheriff’s Budget ($12,447) (4/5ths Vote Required) BOARD ACTION: Supervisor Aborn initiated discussion concerning the request. Supervisor Pickard asked if the request is retroactive. Rick Benson, County Administrative Officer, advised of an opinion he received from County Counsel that it could be difficult to make the increase retroactive as department heads typically receive increases on January 1st, and retroactivity could open a door to challenge. Thomas P. Guarino, County Counsel, advised of Article 11, Section 10A of the California Constitution prohibiting retroactive pay in this circumstance to the previous year as an increase was already given for 2006. Supervisor Fritz asked about the Public Administrator Fund being used to cover the increase. Rick Benson advised that there is money in the Fund for this fiscal year, but there is no assurance that the funds will be available in future years in this Fund. Chair Bibby called for input from the public and none was received. Supervisor Bibby asked the Auditor about the Public Administrator Fund. Chris Ebie, Auditor, advised that the funds exist as a result of the settlement of estates that were closed out and the Board could appropriate the funds in any manner it deems appropriate. Discussion was held. Supervisor Pickard commented on the survey method used for department heads and elected officials in 2005, and he stated he supports that policy. He requested that direction be given to staff to bring back as soon as possible consideration of a salary increase for department heads including up to a four percent increase. Chair Bibby noted that the matter on the agenda is specific to the Sheriff. County Counsel advised that it would be appropriate, if the Board wants to address this item, to give direction to staff for the department heads. Jim Allen, Sheriff, advised that a four percent increase will still leave a compaction issue. He noted that he spoke with Supervisor Pickard about this situation in October and he asked him to wait until January and the issue still has not been resolved. He advised that the disparity is uncomfortable and he provided statistics relative to the salary differences in other counties between the Sheriff and the Undersheriff. Further discussion was held. Supervisor Fritz expressed concern with using one-time funding for on-going expenses. Rick Benson noted that the direction given in closed session dealt only with appointed department heads, and it is his intention to bring recommendations for appointed department heads and elected officials to the Board on February 6th. Supervisor Bibby noted that the MOU for MCMCO calls for a ten percent separation in pay to avoid salary compaction with managers and staff. She further stated that the compaction information was not known about at the time the salary survey was done, as the compaction resulted from the labor negotiations with the Sheriff’s Deputy Association. Jim Allen stated he is okay with having the increase retroactive to January 1, 2007 versus October 2006. He advised that he is maxed out on his retirement and he will get penalized on his salary from PERS upon retirement. He provided information on the incentive pay that is available to staff. (M)Aborn, (S)Bibby (who passed the gavel to the Vice-Chairman), to approve the salary increase as requested by Supervisor Aborn, effective January 1, 2007, failed. Discussion was held. Ayes: Aborn, Bibby; Noes: Turpin, Fritz, Pickard. The motion failed. (M)Turpin, (S)Pickard, Res. 07-28 was adopted approving a four percent salary increase for the Sheriff retroactive to January 1, 2007, with a discussion of elected officials salaries to be scheduled on February 6th agenda. Chair Bibby questioned whether this action would be appropriate as only the Sheriff’s salary is on the agenda with a request for ten percent. County Counsel requested time to research this issue. Supervisor Pickard also requested that direction be given to the County Administrative Officer to bring back a recommendation for the first meeting possible, February 6th or as soon as possible, to adjust the salaries for elected officials and to correct the salary compaction. 3:24 p.m. Recess 3:34 p.m. County Counsel advised that he reviewed the agenda item and the Brown Act; and he advised that a motion of four percent for the Sheriff only is okay. However, he needs clarification of the intent of the discussion relative to the direction to bring the matter back for a comprehensive review. Supervisor Turpin clarified his motion to grant a four percent increase above the total salary of the Undersheriff, including longevity and incentive pay, to the Sheriff, effective January 1, 2007, to help alleviate the compaction issue. Supervisor Pickard asked the County Administrative Officer how this action would impact the integrity of the salary survey policy, and Rick Benson responded that he did not feel that it would change the ranges as far as the departments, just the percentages. Supervisor Pickard stated he would prefer to look at this comprehensively and requested that the County Administrative Officer bring back information, including information on the budget status. Further ---PAGE BREAK--- 6 1-23-07 discussion was held. Supervisor Pickard withdrew his second to the motion. Supervisor Aborn seconded the motion with the stipulation that there will be further consideration of the other elected officials and department heads. Supervisor Fritz asked the Auditor if the proposed action is clear for payroll purposes. Chris Ebie, Auditor, stated they would look at the total compensation for the Undersheriff as of this date and increase the Sheriff’s salary by four percent beyond that. Ayes: Aborn, Turpin, Bibby, Fritz; Noes: Pickard. (M)Aborn, (S)Turpin, Res. 07-29 was adopted approving the budget action transferring funds from the Public Administrator Fund, with revised recalculations based on the preceding action/Ayes: Aborn, Turpin, Bibby, Fritz; Noes: Pickard. Continued discussion was held relative to the agreement with the newly formed Yosemite/Mariposa County Tourism Bureau and approval of the budget action reducing General Contingency $275,000 to fund the agreement. Leroy Radanovich introduced Kevin Shelton, Chair of the new Tourism Bureau, Incorporated. Rick Benson presented the staff report and reviewed the recommended actions. Leroy Radanovich noted that the new non-profit will be operating as a business providing advertising and marketing for the County; and he provided input on the status of the budget and the request to transfer equipment. Rick Benson advised that he will be bringing back an item to the Board with recommendations for staffing in the Department and changes that go with this transition. In the interim, the Senior Office Assistant will still be a County position and will be supervised and assigned tasks by the County Administrative Officer; and they will work cooperatively with the transition. Leroy Radanovich stated he feels that he will be under contract with the Bureau for a few months to finish projects and to help train the new Director. Supervisor Bibby asked about the status of paying for the rent and utilities for the Bureau. Rick Benson advised that the County will continue to pay for these things through the fiscal year as they will be occupying space. He further advised that he will be bringing a proposal to the Board to move the Business Development Coordinator to be located with the new Tourism Bureau and she can use the Senior Office Assistant. Supervisor Bibby noted that this is a contract for services and initiated further discussion relative to the County retaining ownership of the computer and the furniture and allowing the Bureau to use it versus an outright transfer. Rick Benson noted that all of the data that is on the computer will be copied for the County at the time of the transition. 4:20 p.m. Recess 4:31 p.m. Further discussion was held, including the website issues. Additional input from the public was provided by the following: Paul Chapman stated he feels that this sounds like County employees will be kept working for the private corporation. He does not feel that this was well-thought out and he feels the cost is high versus other areas on a per capita basis. He feels that nothing is changing – the advisory committee members are now the non-profit group. Ruth Catalan asked why the contract did not go out for bid. She feels that there are agencies that would like a contract like this and may have come back with something different and better. Supervisor Bibby asked County Counsel about the contract and bid requirements. County Counsel advised that the contracts for services do not require a mandatory bidding process. (M)Pickard, (S)Fritz, Res. 07-30 was adopted approving the agreement and the budget action as recommended. Board members thanked Leroy Radanovich for his work on this matter. Ayes: Aborn, Turpin, Fritz, Pickard; Noes: Bibby. 4:42 p.m. Rick Benson, County Administrative Officer, was excused for the rest of the meeting due to a prior commitment. Selection of Board Member Representation of Agencies (Clerk of the Board) BOARD ACTION: Discussion was held. The Board concurred with reviewing whether membership dues are being paid to the Mountain Counties Water Resources Association and whether the Association is active prior to appointing representatives. Supervisor Fritz noted that the San Joaquin Rail Committee would need to be added to this list once the County is given membership seats on the ---PAGE BREAK--- 7 1-23-07 Committee.
