The L.A. County Board of Supervisors passed a rule change that gives the county director of personnel the authority to fire employees of the sheriff's department who have not complied with the county's vaccine mandate.
The first LAPD officer to refuse the city's vaccine mandate has been fired as tensions mount on how best to enforce mandates
The motion passed without any discussion on a 4-1 vote. Supervisor Kathryn Barger was the only one who voted no. The rule change applies to every county department head, but is seen as a way to reign in Villanueva, who has butted heads with the supervisors since taking office. Villanueva has said enforcing the vaccination mandate would decimate his already shorthanded force, leading to 3,000 deputies and 1,000 professional staff members losing their jobs. The sheriff offered no evidence to back those numbers up.The board's move to supersede Villanueva's firing authority garnered several critical public comment calls during the board's Tuesday meeting.
"The proposed revision of the county code on today's agenda is a targeted overreach by members of this board to undermine the authority of one person, an elected department head who's actions are not inline the board's wishes," said Tab Rhodes, President of the Professional Police Officers Association, who called into the meeting.
