CA Gov't Code Section 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.
