RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACKNOWLEDGE modification of the CCC Public Defenders Association Unit represented by the Contra Costa County Defenders’ Association to establish a new representation unit called the Public Defender Investigators Unit to be composed of the following classifications: Public Defender Investigator Aide (6N75), Public Defender Investigator Assistant (6N7A), Public Defender Investigator I (6NWA), Public Defender Investigator II (6NVA), and Senior Public Defender Investigator Aide (6NVB), as recommended by the Employee Relations Officer.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In October 2016, members of the Defenders’ Association submitted a petition to the Labor Relations Department requesting a unit modification to create a new bargaining unit containing the Public Defender Investigators classifications. Signatures on the petition were verified and the process to modify the CCC Public Defenders Association Unit to create a new Public Defender Investigators Unit proceeded pursuant to Section 34-12.016 of the County’s Employer-Employee Relations Resolution (EERR). The interested parties met on January 4, 2017 wherein the parties agreed to the establishment of the Public Defender Investigators Unit in accordance with the EERR.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Defender Investigators will continue to be part of the CCC Public Defenders Association Unit.
