Board approves three-year MOU for professional unit with annual 3% cost-of-living increases
Summary
The board adopted a three-year memorandum of understanding for the county's professional unit that provides a 3% cost-of-living increase each year; county staff described the agreement as the result of collaborative bargaining completed in two meetings.
Haley Hudson, deputy county administrator, presented a resolution to adopt a comprehensive memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the organized employees of the Siskiyou County professional unit and to amend the county salary schedule for covered positions. "Under this 3 year agreement, the employees covered on this MOU will be receiving a 3% cost of living increase each year," Hudson said, describing the MOU as the product of a collaborative bargaining process completed in two meetings.
Board members moved and seconded the resolution and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote recorded in the transcript, with the motion carried and the three-year agreement adopted. Hudson emphasized the county and the union sought to balance workforce retention with fiscal responsibility. The item was brought forward as a negotiated settlement and the board accepted the MOU as presented.
