RESOLUTION NO. 343-2004
A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE FUNDING OF A MULTI-YEAR PAY
PLAN FOR DEPUTY SHERIFFS AND CORRECTIONS OFFICERS EMPLOYED
BY THE MONROE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Whereas the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners recognizes that Richard D. Roth, Sheriff of
Monroe County, is currently negotiating a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police;
and
Whereas the FOP is the duly certified bargaining agent for the great majority of deputy sheriffs and
corrections officers employed the Sheriff; and
Whereas the Sheriff, the Board of County Commissioners, and the FOP believe that a multi-year pay plan for
these officers benefits the public with respect to:
-Recruitment of the best-qualified officers;
-Retention of veteran officers;
-Greater security and job satisfaction; and
-Better financial planning; and
Whereas the Board of County Commissioners is the agency responsible for budget appropriations for the
Sheriff's Office; and
Whereas the Sheriff is unable to provide to multi-year pay plan for his deputies and corrections officers
without a commitment from the Board of County Commissioners;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved:
1. The Monroe Board of County Commissioners resolves to appropriate funds to the Sheriff's
budget in fiscal years 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006 for the express and limited purpose of
providing funds required to support a multi-year pay plan for the deputy sheriffs and corrections officers now
represented by the Fraternal Order of Police, in the amounts set forth below:
FY 2004-2005
10.25%1
FY 2005-2006
8.25%
FY 2006-2007
6.490./0
1 Note: These percentages indicate the increase required over prior year funding if the pay
plan is approved. The dollar cost is dependent upon benefits calculations to be provided
before submission as an agenda item. Any future changes in retirement contribution rates are
not considered.
2. The obligation of the Commission in future years is contingent upon execution ofa collective
bargaining agreement by the Sheriff and its subsequent ratification by the collective bargaining unit.
