Board approves SEIU tentative agreement, benefits adjustments and levies; refers $531M bond discussion
Summary
Trustees approved a tentative agreement ratified by SEIU Local 1021, aligned wages and benefits for unrepresented employees with the district's largest classified bargaining unit, adopted a community facilities tax levy and referred a proposed $531 million bond measure to committee.
The San Francisco Unified School District board approved several procedural and finance items Tuesday, including a tentative labor agreement with SEIU Local 1021, wage and benefits alignments for unrepresented classified employees, and a levy of the Community Facilities District (CFD) special tax for fiscal year 2011'12. The board also referred discussion of a proposed $531 million general obligation bond to the Committee of the Whole.
Tom Ruiz, the district's labor director, read the recommendation to adopt the tentative agreement with SEIU Local 1021; trustees approved the measure by roll call. Ruiz subsequently presented motions to align retirement and wage benefits for board-designated unrepresented classified management and confidential employees with the district's largest classified civil service bargaining unit, SEIU Local 1021; the board approved both motions and the required public disclosure documents.
Chris Armentrut, director of local government and development, read the resolution levying the special tax within Community Facilities District number 90-1 for fiscal year 2011-12, referencing Ordinance No. 108-10 SP1; that resolution passed by roll call.
On capital planning, the board voted to refer a resolution ordering an election to authorize up to $531,000,000 in general obligation bonds to the Committee of the Whole for discussion on May 17. The referral does not constitute final authorization for a bond; it schedules further committee review.
Board votes on these items were recorded by roll call: the SEIU agreement and the wage/benefits motions carried with the board reporting unanimous or near-unanimous support; the CFD tax levy was approved by a 7-aye roll call. No public speakers were signed for the SEIU or CFD readings.
