Summary

Committee voted to move a resolution approving an updated collective bargaining agreement for Richland County deputy sheriffs to the full county board after staff and the county attorney described minor language changes affecting an investigator position and shift-start ranges.

The Richland County Finance Standing Committee voted to forward to the full county board a resolution approving a revised collective bargaining agreement with the Richland County deputy sheriffs union.

The committee heard that changes were limited and mainly technical. County Attorney Wendell summarized the edits, saying, "the investigator position does not work the 12 hour shift like the rest of patrol. He works a 5 to 8 hour schedule 5 on 2 off. So Monday through Friday, 8 hours a day," and that language on start-time ranges was restored where specific start times had been inserted in the prior draft.

Wendell said the modifications appear mostly in sections 8, 9 and 14 and were intended to correct language applying to the investigator classification and to reinstate start-time ranges for patrol shifts. After the explanation, a motion to forward the resolution to the full county board was seconded by Mr. Frank and approved by voice vote (ayes; no opposing votes recorded).

Committee members did not request further substantive changes during the meeting. The resolution will appear on the full county board agenda for final action.
