| Approval of two membership lists: one for the Arizona Correctional Officers Retirement Plan (CORP) Local Board of Directors for Gila County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) Detention Officers & Non-Uniformed Officers; and one for Arizona CORP Local Board of Directors for GCSO Dispatchers. |
| Background Information |
On April 10, 2001, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) adopted Resolution No. 01-03-07 authorizing preliminary steps to be taken by the Gila County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) to become a participating employer in the Arizona Corrections Officers Retirement Plan (CORP) on behalf of its Detention Officers.
On September 9, 2003, the BOS authorized the inclusion of GCSO Dispatchers and Detention Officers into the CORP.
On September 23, 2003, the BOS adopted Resolution Nos. 03-09-03, 03-09-04, 03-09-05 and 03-09-06, and approved two separate Joinder Agreements between the GCSO and the CORP; one Joinder Agreement for Detention Officers and one for Dispatchers.
On March 16, 2004, the BOS adopted Resolution Nos. 04-03-01 and 04-03-02, which allowed Gila County to enter into two Joinder Agreements on behalf of the GCSO full-time Detention Officers, Detention Medical Staff, and Dispatchers and approved 2 Amendments to Joinder Agreements to change the effective date of the Agreement to 3/22/04 for Dispatchers, and change the effective date to 3/22/04, and add Detention Medical Staff to the other Agreement.
On May 20, 2004, the BOS adopted Resolution No. 04-04-04 authorizing the GCSO to enter into a Joinder Agreement with the Arizona CORP for full-time Detention Officers and Non-Uniformed Employees of the GCSO, and to authorize the signing of an Amendment to the Joinder Agreement of 9/22/03, which was revised on 4/7/04. (This was the 2nd revision for both the Resolution and the Amendment to the Joinder Agreement. Resolution No. 04-04-04 will supersede previously adopted Resolution Nos. 03-09-03 and 04-03-01. The purpose for revising these documents was to change the name from Detention Medical Staff to Non-Uniformed Employees of the GCSO whose primary duties require direct contact with inmates.
On August 16, 2004, the Gila County Board of Supervisors approved the appointments and acknowledged the elected members of the Arizona CORP Local Board for Detention Officers and Non-Uniformed Officers, and the Arizona CORP Local Board for Dispatchers. |
| Evaluation |
| Since the initial appointments and acknowledgement of elected members of the two Arizona CORP Local Boards that took place on August 16, 2004, there have been changes in the membership for both Local Boards; however, over time these Boards were not being represented according to Arizona Revised Statutes, which is to have the BOS Chairman act as the Chairman of each Local Board; for the BOS Chairman with the overall approval of the BOS members to appoint 2 other members, represented as "Citizens" to each Board of which one Citizen must be the head of the Gila County Personnel Commission; and for the BOS to acknowledge the remaining two members, represented as "Elected Members", who are elected by the Plan members of each Local Board. |
| Conclusion |
The membership for the Arizona CORP Local Board for Detention Officers and Non-Uniformed Officers; and the membership for the Arizona CORP Local Board for Dispatchers is now in compliance with A.R.S. 38-893.
A.R.S. 38-893 (B) specifices that the initial term for one of the CITIZENS and one of the ELECTED MEMBERS must be two years (in order to have staggered terms.) Thereafter when that term is up and as a vacancy occurs, an office shall be filled for a term of four (4) years in the same manner as the previous members were appointed and/or elected. |
| Recommendation |
| It is recommended that the BOS approve two proposed membership lists (attached to this agenda item) for the Arizona CORP Local Board for Gila County Sheriff's Office Detention Officers and Non-Uniformed Officers; and for the Arizona CORP Local Board for Gila County Sheriff's Office Dispatchers. |
| Suggested Motion |
| Approval of the corrected and current membership lists for the Arizona Correctional Officers Retirement Plan (CORP) Local Board for Gila County Sheriff's Office Detention Officers and Non-Uniformed Officers; and for the Arizona CORP Local Board for Gila County Sheriff's Office Dispatchers. |
