Information

Request/Subject

Approval of changes to Gila County Policy No. BOS-HRS-610 - Disciplinary Action.

Background Information

Gila County is in the process of updating and converting all of the Rules in the Merit System Rules and Policies to Policies to be placed in the Countywide Policy Manual.

Rule No. 21 was updated and converted to Policy No. BOS-HRS-610-Disciplinary Actions by the Board on January 5, 2016.

Evaluation

After updating and converting Policy No. BOS-HRS-610-Disciplinary Actions, the Sheriff’s Office contacted Human Resources and requested that the wording under IV. Procedures, A. General, 2., regarding the Sheriff’s Office be removed. This paragraph is not found under the Sheriff’s Office policies and procedures or under Arizona Revised Statutes §38-1101 through §38-1114 for Public Safety Officers. Human Resources agrees the deletion of this paragraph would keep the policies consistent throughout all Gila County departments and elected offices.

Conclusion

This revision is not changing the intent of Policy No. BOS-HRS-610, but will properly reflect the Gila County Sheriff's Office policies and procedures.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve revised Gila County Policy No. BOS-HRS-610 - Disciplinary Action by eliminating the wording in IV. A. 2. regarding Sheriff's Office employees being placed on administrative leave when charged with a felony offense.

Suggested Motion

Approval of changes to Gila County Policy No. BOS-HRS-610 - Disciplinary Action regarding disciplinary actions in the Sheriff's Office.
