ADDENDUM TO C.63
JANUARY 17, 2006
On this day the Board considered approving and authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or
designee, to execute a contract with Michael G. Ross in an amount not to exceed $78,720
to provide consulting services for the Office of the Sheriff for the period January 1
through December 31, 2006.
The Chair asked the public if they wished to have a consent calendar item considered
separately. The following p�rson presented testimony:
Business Agent for Public Employees Union, Local 1, Roland Katz strongly highlighted
the role of Mike Ross's position that retired as the Director of Animal Services, and was
now on a contract with the Sheriff's Department. Mr. Katz believes the County is
creating a second tier of employees and the contract and temporary employees. He
remarked this practice by the County has to end at the bargaining table, the streets or at
Court and conceded the County must change the process of avoiding the merit system.
Obie Anderson, Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, noted no permanent position
being displaced for the position being addressed and also said there is no need for a
permanent position. Mr. Anderson said the contract with Mr. Ross addresses the
Sheriff's needs with precision and would add significant savings based on what would be
otherwise the case.
Chair Gioia commented that staff is trying to make decisions in the financial interest of
the County to fill these Short Term positions with individuals who are qualified for them.,
and there does not appear to be a need for a permanent County position.
Chair Gioia stressed the Coul(nty is seeking every conceivable opportunity to be fiscally
prudent by getting by on a permanent County position when these are short-term
positions, and conceded does not achieve the object of labor and the County.
The Board of Supervisors took the following action by unanimous decision with none
absent.
ADOPTED Consent Item C.63 dated January 17, 2006.
