Adopt a resolution to:
a. Establish Unit A-OS and Unit B-OSS as new bargaining units for Deputy Sheriff-Operations and Sheriff’s Investigative Sergeant classifications now represented by the County of Monterey Patrol Association;
b. Amend Personnel Policies & Practices Resolution (PPPR) No. 98-394 Section VI Employee/Bargaining Units to add Unit A-OS, Unit B-OSS and Unit SPD (Staff Nurse II - Per Diem and Nurse Practitioner III - Per Diem classifications); and

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On March 30, 2021 the County of Monterey Patrol Association (COMPA) submitted a petition to represent the Deputy Sheriff-Operations and Sheriff’s Investigative Sergeant classifications, along with supporting documentation. An election was conducted by State Mediation and Conciliation Services and pursuant to the County’s Employer-Employee Relations Resolution No. 10-041, the County recognized COMPA as the exclusive representative for these classifications as of October 12, 2021.
As part of the implementation, the Human Resources Department is requesting to amend the PPPR to add Unit A-OS and Unit B-OSS and move the Deputy Sheriff-Operations classification to Unit A-OS and the Sheriff’s Investigative Sergeant classification to Unit B-OSS.
Additionally, the Board recognized the California Nurses Association (CNA) as the exclusive representative for Staff Nurse II - Per Diem and Nurse Practitioner III - Per Diem classifications effective June 8, 2021 and approved the creation of Unit SPD for these classifications on August 24, 2021. At that time, the PPPR was not amended to add Unit SPD. As such, the Human Resources Department requests to add Unit SPD to PPPR Section VI Employee/Bargaining Units.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt the resolution and approve the actions.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Human Resources Department has consulted with the County Administrative Office and Office of the County Counsel.
