M382 (10/88) BY ,DEPUTY
Attached is a report from the Personnel Department outlining
several of the steps which have been taken to improve the
recruitment and retention of Dispatcher candidates for the
Sheriff 's Office. The Personnel Department is satisfied with the
delegation of authority and is recommending that it be continued.
The Sheriff ' s Office appears to be satisfied with the quality of
candidates being recruited. Attached is a chart outlining the
progress which has been made in reducing the vacancy factor is
Dispatcher positions.
There is a need for additional space which has been brought to
the Board's. , attention previously. This is the result of the
transfer of DRCC' s functions to the Sheriff's Office and the fact
that such a transfer was not anticipated at the time the building
was planned. As a result, we are asking that the Finance
Committee review the proposals which have been made and determine
how much of the SDAF revenue needs to be reserved to provide for
the additional space during the 1990-91 fiscal year.
We were also presented with a status report from the Consolidated
Fire District. One' of the issues mentioned in that report (from
Chief Inspector Roy Bell dated June 2, 1990) indicates that two
Dispatchers will be transferred from the Sheriff' s Office to
Consolidated Fire effective August 1, 1990. Assistant Sheriff
Warren Rupf noted that in his opinion this was in violation of an
agreement reached previously with Consolidated Fire in which
Consolidated Fire District agreed not to recruit or transfer any
current Dispatchers until the transfer of responsibilities from
DRCC to Consolidated Fire was completed on February 1, 1991. We
are asking the County Administrator to resolve this apparent
difference of opinion.
We want to be kept informed of the status of ,the transfer of
responsibility from DRCC to the Sheriff and Consolidated Fire
until it is completed on February 1, 1991.

SUBJECT: Summary of Sheriff's Dispatcher Vacancies.
(October 1989 to present. )
According to your direction, the Sheriff's Department has prepared a summary
of staffing fluctuations in the Dispatch bureau on a month-to-month basis for
the last 10 months. Please note that the loss in April of six (6) employees
to Antioch was a critical factor in the current vacancy ratio. If these six
(6) employees had not departed, the total number of vacancies to date would
have been nine (9) instead of fifteen (15). .
The recent initiation of Band certification appears to be a promising
improvement. Please note that a total of 35 eligibles are scheduled for
selection interview in July.
The Sheriff advises that four (4) new appointees will be on board effective
July 16 and that 4-5 new appointees are anticipated in the month of August.
