RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/16, approving the side letter between Contra Costa County and AFSCME, Local 2700 to revise Section 5.3 of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding certification rules.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. This is an administrative agreement and has no fiscal impact on its own.

BACKGROUND:

Currently for AFSCME, Local 2700 represented classifications, on each request for personnel from an open employment list, ten (10) names are certified. If more than one position is to be filled in any class in a department at the same time from the same request for personnel, the number of names to be certified from an open employment list shall be equal to the number of positions to be filled plus nine (9). Due to a variety of reasons, departments have requested that a larger list be certified for Clerk-Experienced Level positions in order to allow for greater efficiency in scheduling interviews. The County and AFSCME, Local 2700 have agreed to revise the certification rule for Clerk-Experienced Level positions to allow for fifty (50) names to be certified. The appointing authority must, before selection, contact the eligibles and interview all interested eligibles above the rank of the person selected for appointment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the side letter is not approved, Rule of Ten will be used to certify Clerk-Experienced Level lists.
