Committee forwards 31 labor MOUs and three-year wage schedule to full board
Summary
The committee moved items 1–31, a package of 31 memorandums of understanding and related ordinances covering multiple city bargaining units, to the full Board of Supervisors as committee reports; the packages include a three‑year wage deal with COLA steps beginning October 2014.
The committee considered items 1 through 31 together — a package of labor memorandums of understanding (MOUs), amendments and related ordinances negotiated on behalf of multiple city bargaining units.
Martin Grant, the city’s employee relations director, presented the package and described it as a three‑year agreement that preserves equity across units. The proposed wage schedule includes a 3 percent general cost‑of‑living adjustment effective October 2014, 3.25 percent effective October 2015, and a third‑year increase tied to inflation (3.25 percent if economic conditions warrant, or 2.14 percent if the economy weakens).
Grant said the negotiations addressed issues including paperless pay, ensuring compensatory time off banks are paid out at employees’ current rates when triggered by promotion or transfer, and other mechanics intended to modernize payroll and staffing processes. The city administrator and department representatives also described implementation steps and outreach efforts.
The committee took public comment (none offered) and, without objection, moved the entire package of items 1–31 forward as committee reports to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.
