As Sheriff AlexVillanueva rejects vaccine mandates for deputies, the BoardofSupervisors wants to take that authority away from him. He says it will cost thousands of deputy jobs. Supervisors say it's critical to public health. Tonight at 11 from ABC7
LOS ANGELES -- With Sheriff Alex Villanueva declining to enforce the county's COVID-19 vaccine mandate among his deputies, the Board of Supervisors Tuesday gave preliminary approval to a proposal that would give the county personnel director overriding authority to discipline any employees who fail to comply with the requirement.
But in the sheriff's department, less than 60% of employees were in compliance with the vaccine mandate. The motion states that such an arrangement"has allowed for inconsistent application and enforcement of the policy and wide variety from department to department.'' He said 9,881 department members are fully vaccinated, and in the last 30 days, 342 have tested positive, for a 3.46% positivity rate. Among the 5,766 unvaccinated members, 221 tested positive in the last 30 days, for a 3.83% positivity rate.
"Any attempt to take over the sheriff's ability to oversee the disciplinary process for his employees, it is submitted, would certainly not survive legal scrutiny by the courts who would likely find the BOS exceeded their authority under well-established legal principals,'' attorney James Cunningham wrote.
