Meeting Date:	06/27/2016
Submitted for:	Martin Cuellar	Submitted By:	Anita Guerra
Department:	Sheriff

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the posting and filling of the following Slot, subject to the availability of payroll funds and any applicable Civil Service guidelines, effective June 27, 2016; and any other matters incident thereto:

Slot #	Title	Hourly Rate

0361	Patrol Sergeant	$26.13 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

Issue: Need to fill slot #0361 of employee who retired effective 5/31/2016. This is a supervisory position which is required due to the complex nature of the patrol duties and the need for first line supervisors to provide guidance in a law enforcement division which requires significant discretion and judicious decision management. Furthermore, the filling of this position will assist in minimizing liability by providing a first-line supervisor who can deliver onsite officer assistance/back-up in the field when circumstances require sound judgment during split second decisions and much needed officer support for safety.

Solution: Request is being made to fill slot #0361 in order for the patrol division to maintain sufficient manpower, enforce traffic/criminal laws, reduce response time to calls for service, and provide sufficient public safety coverage for the incorporated cities, rural communities, and colonias in Webb County.

Result: The Webb County Sheriff’s Office will be able to continue to provide law enforcement safety and security to the incorporated cities, rural communities, and colonias in Webb County.
