RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACKNOWLEDGE the results of the decertification election of the Property Appraisers Unit to be unrepresented and no longer be represented by AFSCME Local 512, as recommended by the Employee Relations Officer.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In October, 2016, employees in Property Appraisers Unit of AFSCME, Local 512 submitted a decertification petition to the Labor Relations Department requesting to decertify from AFSCME, Local 512. Signatures were verified and the Labor Relations Department requested California State Mediation and Conciliation Service (SMCS) to serve as a neutral party to conduct the election in accordance with Sections 34-12.012(c) and 34-12.018 of the Employer-Employee Relations Resolution (EERR).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 24, 2017, an election and vote count was conducted by SMCS to determine which organization would represent the Property Appraisers Unit.

The following are the results of the election:

AFSCME, Local 512: 1 vote
No Organization: 25 votes
Total Ballots Cast: 26
Total Eligible Employees in the Property Appraisers Unit: 36

SMCS certified the election results. More than fifty percent (50%) of eligible employees in the Property Appraisers Unit cast ballots in the election and a majority of the votes cast selected to be represented by No Organization.

The Management, Exempt, and Unrepresented Employees’ Benefits and Other Compensation Resolution, salary resolutions and other relevant documents will be updated to incorporate the classifications from the Property Appraisers Unit as appropriate for future consideration of the Board.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The election results will not be formally acknowledged.
