RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/507 approving the ratified agreement between the County of Contra Costa and the Public Employee Union (PEU), Local One, modifying Sections 5.1 - General Wages of the PEU, Local One and PEU, Local One CSB-Site Supervisor Unit Memoranda of Understanding to provide a three percent (3%) wage increase effective September 16, 2018 for specified employees; and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to sign a letter of support for the CSB and CSB Site Supervisors Units' acknowledging their value to the County and its residents.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of the three percent (3%) wage increase is dependent upon the number of hours worked by the employees. All costs will be absorbed by the Community Services Bureau of the Employment and Human Resources Department.

BACKGROUND:

Because employees in the Community Services Bureau (CSB) receive external State and federal funding for their programs, these employees were not eligible for the 2018 general cost of living wage adjustment negotiated between Local One and the County. The Local One MOUs allowed for a meet and confer with the County to discuss salary adjustments for 2018. After meeting and conferring, the parties reached a tentative agreement on September 12, 2018, which was ratified on September 19. The agreement provides for a three percent (3%) wage increase effective September 16, 2018 for specified employees. The agreement includes the County providing a letter to the Union that acknowledges the CSB and CSB Site Supervisor Units' value to the County and its residents.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the side letter of agreement is not approved, these specified employees will not receive the designated wage increase.
