CLEAT is currently holding elections for its Vice-President. I am proud to announce that a member of the EPPD is running for one of the three vice-president spots. His name is Adrian Pina and for the past 7 years he has been on the CLEAT board as Regional Director 4A. The Association is supporting Adrian because we need his type of leadership in Austin. Adrian works closely with Marvin who is our Regional Director for region 4B. Adrian has El Paso’s CLEAT member’s best interest when making decisions as a CLEAT board member. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The Association and Mr. Pina will be raffling off a handgun as an incentive for you to cast your vote. All you have to do, if you still have not voted, is give your mail in ballot along with the pre-paid envelope to any Association board member and in return you will receive a raffle ticket for the handgun. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;If you have already voted via phone or electronically, just let the board member know and you will still receive a ticket. The deadline for obtaining a raffle ticket will be Dec 1st. We will hold the drawing on Dec 4th at our annual banquet. Once the winner has been selected we will verify with CLEAT if the winner did vote in the election. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;So simply cast your vote and get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a handgun. GOOD LUCK!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;JOSE G.

The department has gone thru a lot of changes since the beginning of the year. I would personally like to thank all of you for maintaining a professional and positive attitude during these months. There are many issues and concerns the Association is currently addressing with the Sheriff and the County. The Association and Sheriff have a good working relationship which continues to improve as the months go by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sept. 2nd, commissioners Anna Perez, Willie Gandara, the County Auditor, County Attorney and the County HR contacted the Association and asked EPCSOA membership to make some salary concessions. The County needed help with a $13 million dollar shortfall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Association’s bargaining committee formulated a proposal that would benefit its membership and in the process help out the county.  The Association’s committee offered to assist the county in saving 1.2 million dollars in return for a 2 year extension of the Articles of Agreement between the County and the EPCSOA. The Association would do this by asking its members to delay/postpone their COLA’s in FY 2010 which is (1.5%) in October 2009 and (1.5%) in April 2010. In Oct of 2010 we will resume getting our regular schedule COLAs at the step we should be at. Officers will still continue to receive their step increase and all other monies that they currently get now under the contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The County accepted the Association’s offer on Sept14, 2009 during a regular county meeting. The membership would have the final word on this issue and only you could decide if this is a fair offer.  The vote to ratify the amendment to the Articles of Agreement was held today.&lt;br /&gt;I would like to thank all of you that voted in today’s ratification and election. There are over 800 members in the Association and more than 500 members went to the polls to cast their votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The following are the official results:&lt;br /&gt;The vote to accept the amendment to the Article of Agreement between the County and the Association- PASSED BY 84%&lt;br /&gt;The vote to increase Association membership dues- Did not PASS&lt;br /&gt;The vote to amend the Association’s constitution- PASSED&lt;br /&gt;The vote for Association President/Vice President- The slate of Jose G.

The County requested that the membership give up 2.9 million dollars in salary concessions for fiscal year 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Association’s bargaining committee, made up Kevin Quinn, Robert Vasquez, Gabriel Bustamante, Federico Castillo, Brian Houston and Ron DeLord from CLEAT, came up with a proposal that it presented to the County. The Association offered to assist the county in saving 1.2 million dollars in return for a 2 year extension of the Articles of Agreement between the County and the EPCSOA. The Association would do this by asking its members to forego the COLA’s in FY 2010 which is (1.5%) in October 2009 and (1.5%) in April 2010.

The board members and I have been going around informing the membership how this will have an impact on their future. The membership has the final word on this issue and only you can decide if this is a fair offer.  The vote to ratify the amendment to the Articles of Agreement will be on Sept 29 during our Executive board elections.&lt;br /&gt;Remember this only to amendment to the contract.

Wiles, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11.3.02 Requirements, include:&lt;br /&gt;1. Be employed as a permanent detention officer, having completed at least 12 months of continuous service in that capacity, or be a peace officer licensed by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education and employed for at least five consecutive years with a law enforcement agency of at least 50 peace officers, the number of individuals so appointed not to exceed 25% of first time deputy appointments per calendar year. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Section 11.3.02 would allow the Sheriff to accept lateral transfers from peace officers from other Agencies directly into any deputy position without going thru the Academy or serving 12 months in the Detention Bureau. The Association strongly opposed this change to Civil Service. After the Commission heard from the Sheriff and the Association, they decided postponed their decision till next month. The Sheriff agreed to contact  Marrufo and come up a solution to this issue. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Association suggest and request that any and all members affected by this change attend Civil Service on June 1st. The Sheriff’s position is that D/O’s do not want to go out to patrol. Last year the department had about 80 D/O’s test for 25 deputy positions at academy. After all was said and done, 40 D/O’s were eligible for the Academy. So D/O’s do want to become Deputies. The Association is not willing to give 1 out every 4 deputy positions to an outside agency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;9. ITEM&lt;br /&gt;To review and consider, pursuant to Rule 2.1.01B., the Sheriff’s change to the job description of Detention Officer, wherein the Sheriff has lowered the minimum age for eligibility from: twenty (20) years or eighteen (18) years upon successful completion of military reserve basic training; to eighteen (18) years.&lt;br /&gt;Submitted by: Jim Jopling, CLEAT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;12. ITEM&lt;br /&gt;Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the age requirement to become a Detention Officer for the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.&lt;br /&gt;Submitted by: Sheriff Richard D. Wiles, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Items 9 was placed by the Association and Item 12 was posted by the Sheriff and are the same. This allowed the Sheriff to lower the age requirement to become a detention officer from 20 years to 18 years old. The Association again was opposed this change. The commission ruled in favor of the Sheriff with the stipulation the item would be revisited in a year. The Association does not have to wait a year to oppose the change again. The Association will attempt to change it back to 20 years, later this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Members please be advice, next to your CBA with the County and the Sheriff, Civil Service Rule is a very important benefit we enjoy. The Association will continue to monitor any proposed changes to CSR to make sure that your rights are protected. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1301478169171173839-135353715480524500?l=epcsoa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://epcsoa.blogspot.com/feeds/135353715480524500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1301478169171173839&amp;postID=135353715480524500' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1301478169171173839/posts/default/135353715480524500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1301478169171173839/posts/default/135353715480524500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://epcsoa.blogspot.com/2009/05/civil-service-rule-549-6.html' title=''/><author><name>EPCSOA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13728415499688847553'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301478169171173839.post-6841598330496701283</id><published>2009-04-11T06:37:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-11T06:39:15.288-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Retirement Planning</title><content type='html'>Retirement Planning available&lt;br /&gt;for all El Paso County Sheriff’s Officers Association members&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe Alexander of ALEXANDER FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT&lt;br /&gt;will be available at the EPMPOA Hallor at the Firefighter’s Hall&lt;br /&gt;for one-on-one consultations regarding your retirement planning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Retire safely and don’t run out of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appointments will be available from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on April 14th through April 17th, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For appointments call or email :&lt;br /&gt;Joe’s cell: 972-896-5600&lt;br /&gt;Joe’s e-mail: &lt;a href="mailto:joe@alexfm.com"&gt;joe@alexfm.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alexander Financial Management is a CLEAT Preferred Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investment Advisory Services offered through Brookstone CapitalManagement LLC, an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1301478169171173839-6841598330496701283?l=epcsoa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://epcsoa.blogspot.com/feeds/6841598330496701283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1301478169171173839&amp;postID=6841598330496701283' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1301478169171173839/posts/default/6841598330496701283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1301478169171173839/posts/default/6841598330496701283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://epcsoa.blogspot.com/2009/04/retirement-planning.html' title='Retirement Planning'/><author><name>EPCSOA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13728415499688847553'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301478169171173839.post-9186182759098347356</id><published>2009-03-18T19:46:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-03-18T19:48:35.839-06:00</updated><title type='text'>“Donation of Vacation Day”</title><content type='html'>Dear Member,&lt;br /&gt;       The Association negotiated a new contract in 2007. The Association was aware about a concern the members had which was donating 8 hours of their vacation to the Association leave pool. The Association’s solution for resolving this issue was to increase the number of personal leave days from (1) day a year to (3) days a year and reduce the hours that are donated.&lt;br /&gt;The Association first negotiated to have (2) personal days a year for its members after Oct. 31, 2008. Effective Oct 1, 2010 members will receive (3) personal days. The association also reduced the number hours which a member can donate from 8 hours to 4 hours.&lt;br /&gt;The Association also negotiated in its contract to have the association’s President on detached duties. This meant that the El Paso County Sheriff’s Officers Association would have the first full time President in its 30 year history. El Paso County was also the first County to have a full time President in Texas. Having a full time President has proven to be a valuable asset to members of the Association.&lt;br /&gt;In Sept. of 2008, 95% of Associations members failed to comply with Article 26 Section 2 of the Articles of Agreement between the County and the Association. Specifically the part “except that should any member so notify the Association after September 1 and no later than September 15th of any applicable year that no deduction shall be made from his credited vacation time”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Association understands that there might have been some confusion on what the procedure was since last year’s form stated a “Donation of Vacation Day”. So to avoid future problems, the Association will require that any member that does not wish to donate 4 hours of their vacation must fill out the correct form which was approved by the Association’s Executive Board. The official form can be downloaded from the Association’s website or can be picked up at the Assoc’s office. No other form will be accepted. Members must have the President of the Association sign off on the form in order for the County Auditor to accept it. The Association provided the County Commissioners and the County Auditor with a copy of the approved form. Any form turned into the County Auditor without the Association’s knowledge will not be accepted. Failure to follow the correct procedure and use the correct form will result in the donation of 4 hours of leave time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jose G.

If it wasn’t for you, the Association could not perform its job properly. Issues that concern our CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) both with the County and the Sheriff have been presented to the Assoc by you. This helps us keep within time limits which are contained in both CBA’s when filing a Grievance.&lt;br /&gt;       The Association has created a grievance form for you to complete when you have a grievance. This will ensure that your grievance is heard by the Grievance committee and there is documentation we can show just in case Management tries to say otherwise.

The vote to ratify the CBA was held on Jan. 26th and you passed it by an overwhelming 91.2% of the vote. I commend the members of the Association for having faith in your board representative’s ability to negotiate a good CBA that benefits all its members.&lt;br /&gt;            The Association is now better equipped to serve and protect its members if any disputes arise in their work environment. I would like to thank CLEAT for their part in negotiating this contract. Ron DeLord and Jim Jopling were there from day one. With Ron’s skills and experience this contract was agreed to in no time at all. Jim’s legal knowledge about many of the issues put the final touches in what the Board believes to be the best contract we have had in over twenty years. I would also like to thank Ron Schweitz and Robert Vasquez for being part of the bargaining team that helped the Association obtain this four year contract.&lt;br /&gt;            A special thanks to Sheriff Wiles for giving the Association members a four year contract that is fair and practical.

I know the officers who received this year’s awards were happy to see all the support their peers gave them. I wish every member of the Association could attend but I understand that our jails need to be staffed and our communities need protecting. That is way I would also like to thank all of those officers who could not attend, for their continue support of the Association and what it is trying to accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year’s Banquet also marked our 30th anniversary as an Association. The Association board was proud to recognize the first members of the Association as well as the class of 1988 for their 20 years of service in the Sheriff’s office and members of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Officers Association. The Association also recognizes the civilians that have worked for 20 years or more that have work for the Sheriff’s Department. They have provided the support behind the scenes for 20 years. It was also nice to see the retirees come back and be honored by the Association for their long years of service in the Sheriff’s office and membership in the Association.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish every member of the Association a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God keep all members and their families in good health and safe in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the names of the officers who received awards of recognition from the Association.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;1. 30th Anniversary Officers-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Neil Baker&lt;br /&gt;b) Arturo Montoya&lt;br /&gt;c) Ezperanza Gomez&lt;br /&gt;d) Marvin Ryals&lt;br /&gt;e) Hector Lara&lt;br /&gt;f) Daniel Diaz&lt;br /&gt;g) Ruben Lopez&lt;br /&gt;h) Raul Segura&lt;br /&gt;i) Edward Lechuga&lt;br /&gt;j) Alfredo Armendariz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;2. 20th Anniversary Officers;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Maria Gonzalez&lt;br /&gt;b) Sidney Brandenburg&lt;br /&gt;c) Lance Brown&lt;br /&gt;d) Francisco Chavez&lt;br /&gt;e) Raymond Hernandez&lt;br /&gt;f) Rosie Lopez&lt;br /&gt;g) Theodore Goff&lt;br /&gt;h) Irene Anchondo&lt;br /&gt;i) Pedro Mora&lt;br /&gt;j) Eulogio Munoz&lt;br /&gt;k) Santiago Jimmy Apodaca&lt;br /&gt;l) Juan Montelongo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Association Member of the Year-&lt;/span&gt; Juan Archuleta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Appreciation for Attorneys-&lt;/span&gt; Jim Jopling &amp;amp; Patrick Lara&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Board Member of the Year-&lt;/span&gt; Brian Houston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Sgt Ruben Orozco Award-&lt;/span&gt; Marcy Gil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;3.

Another year is coming to an end. As we look ahead for new leadership, I feel confident that the Association and its members are ready for any changes that will come when the new administration takes office in January. The new Sheriff will bring positive as well negative change depending on your views. The Association must continue and will continue to work hard to assure that our members/officers receive the best working and living conditions they deserve. But the Association board cannot do it by itself, we need your help. The Association has only had a quorum 3 out of the past 4 months. The average attendance at the general membership meetings is about 29 members including the board. There are 800 members in the Association; all members should be able to attend at least one or two meetings a year.&lt;br /&gt;The Board’s goal for next year is to increase attendance to the general membership meeting. The board is committed to representing all members in their fight to achieve respect and gain recognition for their hard work in the Sheriff’s Office.  Remember this is YOUR Association, be part of the decision making. Attend the next General membership meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jose G.

The Association Board will like to thank the 57 members of the Association and their guest for making the event such a great success. Members and their families got to enjoy a great game while they ate hotdogs and hamburgers.&lt;br /&gt;The Board is looking to celebrate its 30th Anniversary in July by having the following events. The Association Board will have the last member appreciation night at the Diablos Friday July 18th. The Board will also give away a Skybox at the Diablos, as a door prize, to one member who attended the General membership meeting in April, May and June, for Saturday July 19th. Three members plus four family or friends will get to enjoy the game in luxury, food and drinks will be provided for them. The celebration will end with the Association Picnic at Wet-N-Wild on Sunday July 20th.&lt;br /&gt;The Board hopes to see all EPCSOA members attend the celebrations in July.

The officers and their families were provided with free hot dogs, hamburgers and cokes. Some officers even enjoyed a cold drink at a discounted price. This was the first of 3 nights we are going to have at the El Paso Diablos. Dates and times are posted on the “Upcoming Events” tab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officers who attended Friday’s event not only enjoyed a great game but had a chance to see some old friends and make some new ones. This was a great opportunity for officers from the Jail-Annex, D.T Jail, Patrol, Academy and Admin to just relax and enjoy each other’s company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like to thank board members Rudy Liggins, Brian Houston and Fred Castillo for helping hand out the tickets to the members and their families. A Special thanks to Rudy who made sure we had enough tickets, food and drinks for everyone who attended the game. I hope to see an even bigger crowd of officers and their families on June 27th. I have posted some of the pictures, of the officers and their families enjoying the game, in the Media Gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JOSE G.
