County approves initial collective bargaining agreement for sheriff’s supervisors
Summary
The board approved an initial one‑year collective bargaining agreement between Storey County and the Sheriff’s Supervisory Association, including leave donation, unused sick-leave compensation, and increased longevity pay; the comptroller said the budgetary impact will be under $300,000.
County staff presented and the board unanimously approved an initial collective bargaining agreement between Storey County and the Story County Sheriff’s Supervisory Association (affiliated with the Nevada Association of Police and Sheriff's Officers).
Brandy Lopez explained that negotiators used the deputy sheriff agreement as a template and modified terms for supervisory positions (sergeant and lieutenant), adding an employee-to-employee leave donation program, compensation for unused sick leave under outlined terms, increased longevity accrual tiers for long‑term employees, and a one‑year contract term to allow reassessment during future negotiations.
Comptroller Jennifer McCain provided a fiscal note: a 5% increase for sergeants and lieutenants to address compaction, longevity increases (from $600 to $1,000 every five years for milestone awards), and an estimated overall fiscal impact under $300,000.
Commissioner Mitchell moved to approve the agreement; the motion passed unanimously.
