CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning a One Year Extension of the Terms and Conditions of Employment for Transferring Jail Employees - Thomas G. "Tom" Turner, Human Resources Department Director

That the Board approve the One Year Contract Extension to extend the Terms and Conditions that were incorporated in offers of employment to the Jail Correctional Officers represented by the Police Benevolent Association under certifications 1247 and 1248 as amended, and an intervening agreement regarding promotional procedures. The Contract Extension also includes the 3% pay increase effective for all employees for Fiscal Year 2016.

BACKGROUND:

As part of the transfer of the jail operations on October 1, 2013, each officer was provided an offer of employment with certain terms and conditions. The Terms and Conditions, which were approved by the Board, had a sunset of September 30, 2015. The parties (BCC and the PBA) have been engaged in collective bargaining in the intervening two years. Substantial progress has been made but it was not possible to complete a full agreement prior to the September 30, 2015 sunset of certain provisions including a career path structure that is very important to the employees. In order to provide continuation of all aspects of the employment relationship, the parties have entered into a one year extension attached. The parties are continuing to meet and fully expect to compete bargaining on a new successor agreement in the next few months. Such an agreement will be brought back before the Board for approval.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

None other than the 3% increase included in the FY2016 budget.
