MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Tina Scott, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Rob Brown, District 4 Supervisor
Moke Simon, District 1 Supervisor
Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
DATE: September 17, 2019
SUBJECT: Approve the Amended County Vehicle policy in concept, Directing Human Resources to Meet & Confer with the Appropriate Bargaining Units.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since 2018, your Board and staff has been working on amendment to the County Vehicle Policy. During prior discussions, your Board expressed concurrence with all proposed changes, with the exception of Section 9 - Take Home/Overnight Vehicle Allocation. On July 23, 2019, your Board again considered the proposed amendments and at the close of your discussion, it was decided that an ad hoc committee would meet with the Sheriff and the District Attorney for further discussion of Section 9.
The committee met with both the Sheriff and the District Attorney. The committee supports the Sheriff’s recommendation that a take-home vehicle be provided to the Emergency Services Manager given the role of the position and the specialized equipment installed in the Manager’s vehicle.
The committee supports the District Attorney’s request that the reference to “call outs”, in Section 9A1b be changed to “after hours responses” since DA Investigators respond to support other emergent law enforcement calls. The committee recommends language be added for annual reporting on the number of afterhours responses made by DA Investigators who are assigned take home vehicles.
The draft has been amended to reflect the above changes.
