RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/6 approving the Side Letter between the County of Contra Costa and the District Attorney Investigators' Association providing for MOU extension, wages, and other benefits.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated annual cost of the contract extension is $276,150 for FY 2023/24 for the 5% wage increase effective July 1, 2023, $289,958 for FY 2024/25 for the 5% wage increase effective July 1, 2024, and $304,455 for FY 2025/26 for the 5% wage increase effective July 1, 2025. The total cost of the estimated wage increases for the agreement through June 30,2026 is $870,563.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The contract will expire June 30, 2023, and employees will not receive the proper wages and benefits.

BACKGROUND:

The County and the District Attorney Investigators’ Association have executed the attached Side Letter to revise Sections 5.1 – General Wages, Section 6 – Days and Hours of Work, and Section 40.4 – Duration of Agreement, and add Subsection 5.15 – Certification Rule.

The agreement provides for:

1. Extension of the existing contract from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026;
2. General wage increase of five percent (5%) effective July 1, 2023, five percent (5%) effective July 1, 2024, and five percent (5%) effective July 1, 2025;
3. Modifications to Section 6 – Days and Hours of Work, creating the flexibility for alternate work schedules;
4. Adding Subsection 5.15 – Certification Rule, providing for the certification of all names in recruitments for the classification of District Attorney Senior Inspector.
5. Modifications to Section 9 – On Call/Call Back, allowing for the District Attorney Chief of Inspectors to determine weekly on-call intervals.

The terms of the Side Letter will be incorporated into the next MOU between the County and the District Attorney Investigators’ Association. Except as specifically amended or excluded by the Side Letter, all other terms and conditions of the MOU between the County and the District Attorney Investigators’ Association remain unchanged.
