Committee advances SEIU H‑1 paramedics contract mirroring firefighter concessions; small near‑term savings reported
Summary
The committee advanced an amendment implementing terms for H‑1 paramedics (SEIU) that mirror firefighter wage concessions (including early employee retirement contributions), with modest estimated savings (about $43,000) in the current year.
The committee considered an amendment implementing Amendment No. 4 to the memorandum of understanding for H‑1 paramedics represented by SEIU. Martin Grande (Department of Human Resources, Employee Relations) described the contract as mirroring the firefighters' package — including a small wage deferral and phased employee retirement contributions — and said the represented class has about six active employees.
The Controller's office estimated savings of roughly $43,000 in the current year and $44,000 in the next year from the agreed concessions. There were no public speakers on the item. The committee sent the contract amendment forward with recommendation.
