BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS
Supervisor Ornellas asked if this was the
appropriate time to consider separating the Coroner from the Sheriff’s
Office. He also inquired as to whether
or not there was a way at the County level to prevent county employees or
elected officials from receiving all or part of their retirement pension if he
or she were found guilty of a felony.
Additionally, could new employees and elected officials be required to
sign a contract. County Counsel
Terrence Dermody addressed these matters.
Supervisor Ornellas thanked County Counsel Terrence
Dermody and his staff for their efforts and guidance during these troubled
times with the Sheriff’s retirement issue.
Supervisor Marenco referred to an article that
appeared in the Stockton Record recently regarding the Regional Transportation
Impact Fee (RTIF) which was part of Measure K passed in 1990 by the San Joaquin
County voters. He expressed his concern
that it has now been 15 years since this measure passed and the fee has never
been imposed.
Supervisor Sieglock commented that he has been very
outspoken about implementing RTIF. He
further stated that it was also his opinion that there should be a separation
of the Sheriff and the Coroner and that this matter should come back before the
Board.
County Administrator Manuel Lopez
stated that by Board Resolution, whenever there is a vacancy of a department, the County Administrator looks
at the organization.
Supervisor Mow said that there are models out there where the Sheriff and the Coroner are separate offices and that they would be worth looking at.
Chairman Gutierrez referred to the action of the
Board not passing Consent Item #1 on the agenda. He stated that this is the second time the Board has not passed
an item of the Children and Families Commission (First 5 San Joaquin). Chairman Gutierrez encouraged Board Members
to work with the County Administrator or to communicate with him their concerns
about any future items.
