RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the Governing Body of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/392, which supersedes Resolution No. 2015/403, regarding compensation and benefits for unrepresented fire safety management classifications in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of the reduction in employees paid pension subvention over three years is estimated to be $20,000, $35,000, and $35,000 respectively.

BACKGROUND:

The Management Resolution for the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has been modified in the following ways:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Voluntary Vision Plan

A new heading, Section 3, Transportation Expense has been added. Former Section 3 Mileage Reimbursementis now subsection 3.10. New subsection 3.11 Commuter Benefit Program has been added to provide employees the opportunity to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified transportation expense.
Section 4.11 Safety Employees Retirement- Tier A- Employees Who Become Safety Members of CCCERA Before January 1, 2013 has been revised to gradually reduce the amount that employees pay toward the employer’s share of the cost for Safety Tier A retirement benefits and to eliminate the payment effective July 1, 2019. After that date, the employees will pay all of their share of the cost of Safety Tier A, and the District will pay all of its share.
Section 21 Fire Services Emergency Recall and Standby Differential has been revised to provide that effective January 1, 2018, there will be only one differential paid to employees assigned to standby and emergency recall duty. This five percent differential will be available only for those who are assigned such extra duty for a minimum of ten days each month.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Benefits for District management employees will be significantly different than represented employees' benefits, potentially making it more difficult to attract candidates for promotion.
