Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Create, Maintain and Grow Jobs and Economic Value in the County.
Improve County Government Operations.
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
Ensure Development of a Well-Planned, Balanced, and Sustainable County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment to the Non-Represented Employee Compensation Plan will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The establishment of the Modified Benefit Option (MBO) will not result in an additional Cost to the County, as the MBO is designed to be cost-neutral.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Non-Represented Employee Compensation Plan (Plan) sets the terms, compensation, and other working conditions for non-represented employees in the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District and County Special Districts Department (District).
To ensure consistency with compensation and benefits recently provided to non-represented and represented employees, it is proposed that the Plan be revised as follows:
• Establish a Modified Benefit Option, consistent with the Modified Benefit Option agreed to with represented County bargaining units;
• Add language that the initial granting of the across-the-board wage increase effective 7/18/2020 and the medical premium subsidy increase effective 7/18/2020 are subject to the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer based on availability of financial resources;
• Remove and/or update other obsolete or outdated language to reflect current law and/or County operations; and
• Consistent with other agreements reached with represented bargaining units, a 5% increase, to the sick leave cash-out formula.
Teamsters Local 1932 (Teamsters) filed a petition with the District to represent certain classifications covered by the Plan. The District processed the petition in accordance with Special Districts Ordinance SD 85-8, Teamsters was certified as the exclusive representative for the petitioned-for employees, and the parties have commenced bargaining for an initial Memorandum of Understanding. As such, the proposed amendments are unable to be applied to those classifications. The District intends to return to the Board of Supervisors/Board of Directors (Board) at a later date regarding those classifications.
The proposed amendments to the Plan for the remaining unrepresented classifications will become effective pay period fifteen (15) 2020 should the Board approve the Plan.
