JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Mark McCauley, County Administrator
Sarah Melancon,Human Resources Director
DATE: July 11, 2022
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT, Technical Amendment 2022-01, By and Between
Jefferson County and Teamsters Local No. 589, Deferred Compensation
Plan Omission
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On January 10, 2022, Jefferson County and Teamsters Local No. 589 entered into a Collective Bargaining
Agreement through December 31, 2024. The County, in administering the contract, discovered an omission
in the drafting of the signature document. The Contract should have included an increase of$20.00 in the
County contribution matching an employee's contribution to a deferred compensation program. In the prior
agreement the County would match $58.00 to an employee $58.00 contribution to a deferred compensation
plan, for a total of$116.00 per month. The new County contribution would total $78.00 and would match an
employee contribution of$78.00 to a total of$156.00 per month.
Employee retention is a critical factor for County law enforcement staff. Other larger agencies in both
Counties and Cities are offering hiring incentives and bonuses to attract new employees and retain current
staff. Offering an increase to an employee match to deferred compensation is an effective measure to assist
us in retaining current employees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Currently, there are nine employees in the Sheriff Deputy bargaining unit contributing to deferred
compensation. Increasing the County contribution match by $20 per employee contributing to deferred
compensation would cost a total of$180.00 more per month, $2,160 annually.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Technical Amendment (2022-01) adding Section A.4.2 to the Agreement between Jefferson
County and Teamsters Local No. 589, increasing the County contribution by $20.00 to $78.00 and the
employee contribution by $20 to $78.00 for a total $156.00.
