This bill, in conjunction with SB 17, restricts county commissioners from appointing a professional administrator to run a detention facility or making other key personnel decisions in such a facility. Missoula County's collective bargaining agreement with the county detention officers association provides that the county commissioners are the final step in the contractual grievance procedure (immediately prior to arbitration), which often deals with grievances over disciplinary or discharge actions. This bill calls into question whether the commissioners truly have the authority to adjust such grievances.
