Board ratifies $10,000 signing/retention package for sheriff's deputies, paid from vacancy savings
Summary
The board ratified a side-letter with the Lassen County Peace Officers Association providing a $10,000 signing/retention bonus spread over three years ($2,500, $2,500, $5,000), to be funded from vacancy savings; supervisors said the incentive aims to address 13 vacancies in the Sheriff's Office.
The Board of Supervisors ratified a side-letter agreement with the Lassen County Peace Officers Association to provide a signing and retention bonus aimed at improving recruitment and retention in the Sheriff's Office.
County staff said the agreement totals $10,000 per eligible employee, paid over three years via a schedule (year 1: $2,500; year 2: $2,500; year 3: $5,000) and financed from vacancy savings (funding unit 135 25). Presenters said funding will be paid through vacancy savings, and the approach is intended to boost retention, with a larger portion payable at the end of the three-year period as a retention incentive.
Supervisors noted the sheriff's office currently has 13 vacancies out of 24 positions. The board ratified the agreement by motion and vote.
