County budget officials, Sheriff Amadeo Ortiz and union representatives worked through the weekend to try to finalize the deal.
The sheriff's department has about 1,600 employees, including more than 1,200 detention officers, patrol deputies and investigators. Authorities say the potential retirees would not include investigators or patrol deputies.
The county's next budget period begins Oct. 1. County commissioners last week adopted a $1.5 billion spending plan.
