RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/351 approving the Side Letter between Contra Costa County and AFSCME Local 512 confirming employees in the Engineering Technician Units eligibility for the deferred compensation special benefit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No additional cost. This action confirms existing practice.

BACKGROUND:

During a review of benefit eligibility, as part of the PeopleSoft upgrade project, employees in the Engineering Technician Unit were deemed ineligible for the deferred compensation special benefit. Employees in the unit were actually eligible and had been receiving the benefit. The format of the text and the language of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was awkward. The side letter clarifies the eligibility that was negotiated for this group in the previous MOU.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Memorandum of Understanding will not specify that Engineering Technician Unit employees are eligible for the benefit.
