VOTING ON PROPOSED SCHEDULE CHANGE

Good morning,

Last year a vote went out to determine whether Police Dispatch Supervisors wanted to bid for their shifts for the entire year which resulted in a majority YES vote.  Due to multiple circumstances, that year-long shift bid did not occur.

As there has been quite some time since the last vote and a renewed request to move forward, we are putting this to vote again for the POLICE DISPATCH SUPERVISORS ONLY.

Here is the description for a year-long shift bid:

Bidding once a year
Another option that has been brought to us is bidding for all three shifts for the year. The example I can use is Fire Dispatch. They bid for their shifts and vacations for the entire year the August prior. So this August 2024, they will bid on their vacations and shifts for all of 2025, and then do it again in August of 2025, etc. You would, under this proposal, bid for all three of your shift rotations once per year similarly to the Fire Dispatch example.

FOR VOTING
In order to maintain confidentiality, I will need you to do the following.

• Send an email to nwright@sdmea.org
  • Identify yourself by name
  • In the body of the email simply note:
  Bidding for Shift Once a Year: Yes/No

The voting will run from today February 23rd to Friday March 6th.

Should you have any questions please reach out to an LMC Supervisor member (Rebecca, Laurie, Eleanor) or send me an email. Your vote will not be shared with anyone, they will only be collected and counted by me.
