MEETING: May 24, 2011 Consent AGENDA NO.: 30
SUBJECT: Approve advanced step placement for Max Houser at Step 4 of the Undersheriff
salary range and Chuck Monarque at Step 5 of the Chief Deputy Sheriff salary
range, effective June 4, 2011, pursuant to Sections A.1.1 1.1 and A. 1.11.5 of the

DEPARTMENT: Sheriffs Office
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors approve advanced step placement for Max Houser
at Step 4 of the Undersheriff salary range and Chuck Monarque at Step 5 of the Chief Deputy
Sheriff salary range, effective June 4, 2011, pursuant to Sections A. 1.11.1 and A. 1.11.5 of the
Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution 98-394.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
The Sheriff's Department has several Unit Y positions that the Sheriff has determined to fill at
this time. Although these positions are created and allocated by the Board of Supervisors in the
budget, the Sheriff has the option of filling these positions with acting, temporary, part-time or
at-will employees. As at-will" positions, the employees being place in these positions will
have no right to return to previously occupied positions within the County if any) and are
ineligible for seniority credit for time served in previously held positions in any future personnel
action.
While the Sheriff has the authority to appoint individuals to these positions, pursuant to the
provisions of the Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution 98-394 see attached), only the
Board of Supervisors can authorize placement at Step 4 in Unit Y.
Max Houser has been selected for appointment to the Undersheriff position and Chuck
Monarque has been selected for appointment as the Chief Deputy Sheriff of the Enforcement
Operations Bureau. In order to ensure that both employees are appropriately compensated in
accordance with applicable County policies, the Board's approval of an advanced step
placement is required.
Mr. Houser's work experience warrants his appointment at an advanced step. He comes to the
County with over 30 years of law enforcement experience, including working for the California
Department of Justice Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, City of Salinas, and County of
Fresno Sheriff's Department. In addition, Mr. Houser is an accomplished instructor and trainer
and has received numerous commendations and honors. By placing Mr. Houser at Step 4, he
will be compensated three percent more than his highest paid subordinate.
Mr. Monarque currently occupies a position within Unit C and receives Advance Police Officer
Standards and Training POST) and 8% Longevity Performances stipends and currently
contributes seven percent of his salary as the employee share of retirement. His appointment to
a position within the Y Unit will not include any stipends or longevity pay, nor require any

SIGNED BOARD REPORT"�|E�9�contribution to his retirement. In determining the appropriate step for appointment, the effect of
these differences in compensation and benefits for each Unit was considered.
Chuck Monarque is currently a Sheriff's Captain at Step 7 and placement of Mr. Monarque at
Step 5 of the Chief Deputy Sheriff range would result in a slight salary decrease, but when
adjusted for the change in retirement contribution rates would have the effect of a seven percent
increase.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
CAO-Human Resources has reviewed and approved this report.
FINANCING
The previous incumbents of these positions were both at Step 5 and therefore there will be no
impact on the adopted budget of the Department. In addition, due to restructuring within the
Department and the elimination of some management positions, the newly appointed employees
will have greater management responsibilities than the previous incumbents.
