Napa County and the Napa County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, which represents 99 sheriff’s deputies, sergeants and district attorney investigators, have reached a tentative agreement in their efforts to negotiate a new labor contract.

The association’s current contract was set to expire on Friday, and the new deal was agreed upon late last month.
“We are very pleased with the collaborative approach the DSA took to these negotiations,” said County Executive Officer Nancy Watt. “The professionalism and mutual respect is evident in the final package.”

The Board of Supervisors will consider the tentative agreement at its Oct. 9 meeting, the earliest opportunity to get the item on the agenda.

The main provisions of the tentative agreement include:

• A two-year term of agreement, through Oct. 2, 2009.

• An annual cost of living increase in July 2008 and July 2009, based on the previous year’s Bay Area Consumer Price Index, with a minimum of 2.5 percent increase and a maximum of 5 percent.
