Committee forwards deputy union contract cleanup to full county board
Summary
The finance standing committee considered a resolution updating the collective bargaining agreement for Richland County deputy sheriffs—mostly technical edits for investigator scheduling and start-time ranges—and voted to move the resolution to the full county board.
The committee reviewed a proposed resolution to approve a revised collective bargaining agreement between Richland County and the county deputy sheriff union. Attorney Wendell told the committee that the substantive edits were limited and mainly clarified scheduling language for the investigator position and restored start-time ranges for patrol shifts.
"The investigator position does not work the 12-hour shift like the rest of patrol," Attorney Wendell said, adding that the investigator works a Monday–Friday, eight-hours-per-day schedule and needed tailored language. The proposed changes also contained cleanup in Section 14 to revert to start-time ranges rather than fixed start times.
The committee voted to forward the resolution to the full county board for final approval. The committee discussion did not change the resolution’s substantive terms; members said the corrections were minor and largely technical.
Ending: The committee voted in favor of moving the resolution to the full county board; final adoption will occur when the full board takes up the measure.
