Sheriff opposes Captain role; board declines motion to preserve promotion benefits
Summary
Sheriff Brown told the board he prefers an Under Sheriff model rather than creating a Captain position and asked that promoted employees not lose retiree health benefits; a motion to pursue maintaining benefits for a promotion failed for lack of support.
Sheriff Brown told the board April 9 that he does not favor creating a Captain position and instead prefers the option of an Under Sheriff. He asked the board to consider promotion mechanisms that would not cause a promoted employee to lose retiree-health benefits.
Commissioner Bob DeVriendt moved that the county pursue options to maintain benefits for any promotion to the Under Sheriff position and to maintain pension/retirement benefits. The motion did not receive a second and therefore failed for lack of support.
The record shows no formal policy change was adopted; the discussion was taken as an informational personnel item and no binding direction to amend benefit rules was approved.
