Board approves assistant district attorney hire, labor MOU and veterans hiring, benefits measures
Summary
The board approved hiring an assistant district attorney, ratified a correctional deputies MOU with multi‑year COLAs, adopted a retiree dental/vision continuation option and approved a veterans preference and guaranteed‑interview program and a Military Appreciation Week/discount program.
Mono County supervisors on Jan. 12 approved several personnel and benefit measures including employment, labor agreements and veteran‑focused hiring steps.
The board unanimously approved an employment contract for Janae Canale as an assistant district attorney; staff presented pro‑rata and full‑year salary and benefits figures and said the position was included in the FY 2025–26 budget. County counsel and the district attorney’s office credited an earlier retention incentive with helping recruit the candidate.
The board also ratified a three‑year memorandum of understanding with the Mono County Correctional Deputy Sheriffs Association, which includes a 13% cost‑of‑living increase over the contract period, elimination of a vesting period for 457 retirement contributions to align with other bargaining units, and commute‑differential language for declared emergencies.
Separately, the board adopted a self‑paid retiree dental and vision continuation program that lets retirees (and eligible court employees) continue those coverages at their own cost; first‑year rates would match active employee premiums with administrative adjustments planned for plan year 2027.
On veterans issues, the board approved a Military Appreciation Week and a Military Appreciation Discount program to list participating businesses on the county website and distribute information to military installations and veterans’ organizations. The board also adopted a veterans preference/hiring policy that includes guaranteed interviews for qualifying veterans and active‑duty spouses who meet minimum qualifications; staff will provide hiring‑manager training and outreach to military transition programs.
What’s next: HR and county staff will finalize contract paperwork, update benefit billing procedures for retirees who opt in, and begin outreach for the military appreciation and veterans hiring programs.
