SUBJECT:

Extension of Memorandum of Understanding with San Mateo County Council of Engineers

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution approving an extension of the current Memorandum of Understanding with the San Mateo County Council of Engineers (SMCCE) for a five-month period for the term of April 11, 2010 through September 4, 2010.

 

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The current MOU expired on April 10, 2010. The SMCCE desires to wait to begin negotiations on a successor agreement until the larger unions have entered into negotiations and settlement with those organizations is closer. The County supports this position and has offered a five-month extension. SMCCE membership has ratified the County’s offer to extend the agreement.

 

County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Agreement as to form.

 

Approval of this extension of the current Memorandum of Understanding contributes to Shared Vision 2025 of a Prosperous Community by ensuring cost-effective compensation structures for County employees.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no cost associated with this extension to the agreement.
