NEW BUSINESS:
P.O.B.O.R.
Violation:
Vice President Dees spoke about a recent decision by the administration to move
a Detention Deputy to an out-of-classification position after a personnel
dispute and I.A. investigation. The KCDOA Board of Directors believes the
reassignment violated the Peace Officers Bill of Rights (POBOR), and as a
result, KCDOA and COPS have begun legal action after informal talks were
unproductive.
Civil Service
Update: Vice
President Dees described recent conversations with COPS legal counsel regarding
concerns about the Kern County Civil Service Board. In recent weeks, COPS and
KCDOA informally discussed a potential legal challenge against certain Civil
Service Board actions and procedures. Secretary Leal made a motion to proceed
with the challenge including KCDOA funding not to exceed $6000. Vice President
Dees seconded the motion. Ayes: Dees, Leal, Santillan, Pfeifle, and Morgan.
Nays: 0 Motion Carried
Mandatory OT: Secretary Leal and Vice President Dees described a recent meeting between the KCDOA Board and Sheriff Youngblood regarding mandatory overtime. The seemingly productive meeting was requested by KCDOA and dealt with Detention Deputy burn-out brought on by excessive overtime. KCDOA brought several suggestions and possible solutions to the meeting and asked that Sheriff Youngblood do everything in his power to end the mandatory overtime system as soon as possible.
4 Hour OT Blocks: Vice President Dees updated the membership on the plan to get mandatory overtime system credit for four hour overtime blocks when 2 or more blocks are worked in a given pay period. This alteration to the mandatory overtime system is already in place in Court Services and Transportation and KCDOA has asked that it be implemented bureau wide.
