• Abolishing Bail: Marc asked the group if any County has been asked to participate in
study group for court system abolishing bail and effects on probation? Patty Leland
(Colusa) noted that Probation has first right of refusal to determine bail.
• Flores v. San Gabriel Implementation: Lisa DeMatteo asked the group for firms with
whom we are working for the Flores implementation. Ann Fremd from Tuolumne used
Art Hartinger from Renne Public Law Group. Solano worked with Sloan Sakai Yeung and
Wong.
• Employee Waiving Health: Georgia Cochran asked the group if any of our County’s
lower paid employees were waiving health coverage, getting cash back and then
enrolling in Medi-Cal.
• Probationary Periods: Kim Moore (Monterey) asked the group whether we require
employees serve a new probationary period if they transfer to different department in
the same classification.
• Classification Studies: Kim Moore (Monterey) asked whether counties send out the full
classification study reports. Monterey recently got a PERB ALJ decision that requires the
release of the class study and they have interpreted the “class study” as the report itself
but union says it’s the entire file. (Even if union submitted a request under the Public
Records Act, working files would not be subject to disclosure.)
o San Luis Obispo and Marin send report.
• Flex Credits: Kim Moore (Monterey) asked if other counties set their flex credit
amounts as a flat rate or indexed to plan cost?
