RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT the attached Resolution No. 2011/483 approving an additional extension of the current Memorandum of Understanding between the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority and SEIU United Healthcare Workers West (UHW) extending negotiated wage agreements and other economic terms and conditions of employment. The term of the MOU will be extended through March 31, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommendation includes the additional extension of the date in Section 13 – Pension Fund Participation, subsection C. Contributions from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. The 2009-2011 agreement with SEIU-UHW states that $75,000 annually in funding for provider transportation will, instead, be used to offset the pension surcharge costs. It is anticipated that, for the first nine months of the fiscal year, $45,000 in additional pension surcharge costs will be expended during this extension period. These costs are 50% Federal and 50% County.
