Committee forwards four compensation and MOU amendments to full Board

The Government Audit and Oversight Committee on June 18 voted to send four labor-related ordinances to the full Board of Supervisors for consideration on June 23. The measures include an ordinance fixing compensation for city and county employees whose pay is governed by Charter section A8.409; first amendments to memoranda of understanding with Teamsters Local 856 and SEIU that adjust classifications and shift differentials; and a change adding a firearms instructor premium for supervising probation officers.

Carol Eisen of the Department of Human Resources told the committee the items were mostly technical and described them as “byproducts” of a broader 2019 reclassification for radiology series work at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and related clerical adjustments. Eisen said the firearms premium applies when staff are “performing the duties of firearms instructor,” and that the unrepresented ordinance would not add new spending.

There were no callers for public comment on these items. Chair Gordon Marr moved to forward the four items as committee reports to the June 23 Board meeting; the clerk called the roll and Vice Chair Aaron Peskin, Supervisor Matt Haney and Chair Marr recorded aye, advancing the items.

The committee packet indicates the personnel changes are intended to align supervisor pay and night/swing differentials with recent classification work and labor negotiations. The full Board will consider the ordinances June 23; the committee did not take additional substantive amendments beyond clerical changes recommended by staff.

The committee vote was 3–0 to forward the items.
