| CORPS Local Boards Updated Membership |
| Background Information |
Gila County has two local boards that oversee the Correctional Officers Retirement Plan (CORP) of which certain Sheriff's Office employees are enrolled. One local board is for Dispatchers of the Gila County Sheriff's Office, and one local board is for Detention Officers and Non-Uniformed Officers of the Gila County Sheriff's Office.
Per A.R.S. §38-893, these local boards are comprised of the following membership: the Chairman of the Gila County Board of Supervisors (BOS) or another Supervisor as recommended by the Chairman and appointed by the BOS; a Citizen who must be the head of the local governing board's personnel commission and is appointed by the BOS; one other Citizen who is appointed by the BOS; and two Members who are elected by secret ballot by other Members of the local board and are presented to the BOS for its "acknowledgment" of the new member's appointment or re-appointment. |
| Evaluation |
A review of these local boards has been conducted and it was realized that there needs to be some one-time adjustments to board members' dates of service in order to align with the correct terms of office. Information for both local boards is being presented to the BOS for the BOS to take action on two Citizens and to be informed of the status of the elected Members for each local board.
Ophelia James, Chairman of the Gila County Personnel Commission, resigned from the Personnel Commission on August 19, 2013. Ms. James' term of office on both local boards expired on December 31, 2013, so there is a vacancy on both local boards which needs to be filled by the head of the Gila County Personnel Commission. Ken Volz is currently the Chairman of the Personnel Commission, so he needs to be appointed to both local boards.
Ed Carpenter has served as a Citizen on both local boards for many years. His current term is due to expire on November 1, 2014. In order to align his term of service with the correct term of office, Mr. Carpenter needs to be reappointed to serve from November 2, 2014, through December 31, 2015. |
| Conclusion |
The BOS is being requested to re-appoint Ed Carpenter, represented on both local boards as a Citizen, for the term beginning November 2, 2014, through December 31, 2015. This will be a one-time adjustment to align Mr. Carpenter's term with the correct term of office, which is January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2015.
The BOS is also being requested to appoint Ken Volz, Chairman of the Gila County Personnel Commission, to fill a vacancy on both local boards and to be represented as a Citizen, who is the head of the local governing body's personnel commission. His term of service will be July 1, 2014, through December 31, 2017. His term of office also ends on December 31, 2017. |
| Recommendation |
| It is recommended that the BOS approve the appointment of Ken Volz and reappointment of Ed Carpenter to both local CORP boards. |
| Suggested Motion |
| Approval to appoint Ken Volz, represented as a Citizen and head of the Gila County Personnel Commission, to the Correctional Officers Retirement Board (CORP) Local Board for Detention Officers and Non-Uniformed Officers and to the CORP Local Board for Dispatchers to fill a vacancy for the term beginning July 1, 2014, through December 31, 2017; and to re-appoint Ed Carpenter, represented as a Citizen, to the same two CORP Local Boards for the term of November 2, 2014, through December 31, 2015, in order to align Mr. Carpenters' term of service with the correct term of office. |
