26639.5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the board of supervisors of Solano County may commence public hearings regarding the consolidation of court-related services. Within 30 days of the commencement of public hearings as authorized by this section, the board shall make a final determination as to the most cost-effective and most efficient manner of providing consolidated services. (b) Concurrently, an election may be conducted among all of the judges of the superior and municipal courts of that county to provide an advisory recommendation to the board of supervisors as to the preferred agency, either the marshal or the sheriff, under which court-related services and the service of civil and criminal process may best be provided. The outcome shall be determined by a simple majority of votes cast. The vote of the judges shall then be forwarded to the board of supervisors prior to the close of the public hearing, and the board of supervisors shall take into advisement the recommendation of the judges provided by the election report. The consolidation shall occur pursuant to the board's determination. 26639.6. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the marshal, sheriff, and all personnel of the marshal's office or personnel of the sheriff's office affected by a consolidation of court-related services and the service of civil and criminal process under this article shall become employees of that consolidated office at their existing or equivalent classifications, salaries, and benefits, and except as may be necessary for the operation of the agency under which court services and the service of civil and criminal process are consolidated, shall not be involuntarily transferred out of the consolidated office during a period of four years following the consolidation. (b) Permanent employees of the marshal's office or sheriff's office on the effective date of consolidation under this article shall be deemed qualified, and no other qualifications shall be required for employment or retention. Probationary employees of the marshal's office or the sheriff's office on the effective date of a consolidation under this article shall retain their probationary status and rights, and shall not be deemed to have transferred so as to require serving a new probationary period. (c) All county service or service by employees of the marshal's office or the sheriff's office on the effective date of a consolidation under this article shall be counted toward seniority in the consolidated office, and all time spent in the same, equivalent, or higher classification shall be counted toward classification seniority. (d) No employee of the marshal's office or the sheriff's office on the effective date of a consolidation under this article shall lose peace officer status, be demoted, or otherwise be adversely affected as a result of the consolidation. 26639.7. (a) This article shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2018, and as of that date is repealed unless a later enacted statute, which is enacted before January 1, 2018, deletes or extends that date. (b) The repeal of this article does not affect any right or benefit to which a person was entitled on the date of repeal.
