WHEREAS, the County of Sullivan (“County”) and the Sheriff of Sullivan County (“Sheriff”) and the Sullivan County Civil Service Employees Association Inc. (“CSEA”) are parties to a collective bargaining agreement (“contract”) governing terms and conditions of employment, and
WHEREAS, an employee with such previous training and experience would benefit the Sheriff and the County by saving the time and high costs normally associated with providing such training, and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, upon consideration of a potential employee’s training and experience, the Sheriff and the County will determine the amount of years of experience to be credited and the employee will then start at the base salary that corresponds with years credited and based on the Collective Bargaining Agreement in effect at the time of employment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Manager is authorized to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office and Sullivan County CSEA approving salary compensation levels based on years of experience for the purposes of determining the starting base salary, longevity, vacation accruals and benefits in a form approved by the County Attorney.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, any lateral transfer from any New York State Department of Corrections Facility to the County Jail shall receive credit for up to 10 years of consecutive service with the New York State Department of Corrections when calculating the required 20 years of service for retiree health insurance.
