2:22 pm
including providing raises for employees so with that i'd like to ask jim mary moore asl he lives to walk through the background and significant terms and conditions of both of those proposed contract. >> thank you madam chair rosales and members of the commission i'm jim morales you have before you two resolutions with draft contracts with agencies have negotiated with 1021 and to approve hopefully as director bohe indicated it's been a long time in coming that we've not had labor agreements before you the last time the agency xhirthd the last agency xhirthd considered for the labor
2:23 pm
agreement was in june of 2011 we have a traveled a course that involved the dissolution of the agency and change in city back to successor agency there's a number of events that have occurred the memo tries to capture i'll notary state those except in the last evidently months a major break through with proposition d that granted certain rights to agency employees that were compatible rights and benefits compatible to similarly situated city employees as health care and with the passage of proposition d the city as we
2:24 pm
said and the union negotiated over the terms of that city offer of employment might look like and we understand that those offers are imminent to ocii employees in the last month the unions and executive management met to negotiate and try to resolve the remaining issues for ocii employees this is important to give the police a meaningful choice between city employment and ocii employment we wanted to just want our labor contracts and make sure that to the greatest stent possible their compatible to similar city contracts with local 1020 and 21 that principle has guided our negotiations over the last month
2:25 pm
and the result is the proposed agreements before you today and i will briefly summarize the major provisions of those agreements perhaps most 1ib9 is the salary increases that are compatible to those salary increases that city employees have or will receive for both unions effective in the first pay period of february 2015 there's an increase of 6.121 percent in october of 2015 an additional increase and july of 2016 there will be an increase between 2.5 percent and 3.125 percent depending on the rate of
2:26 pm
inflation i should not as part of the salaries the performance incentive bonuses that were previously provide to management superiory managers that on one of 4 bargaining unit received those proposals those were eliminated as the city eliminated them so they were not part of the local 21 or 1021 contracts and have been removed from the salary provisions another component of the new contracts is requiring employees to contribute an additional amount for their pension benefits and the retirement system a system with what go city employees must pay so this
2:27 pm
contribution which will total 3.5 percent over the term of the contract will be provided by employees on a graduated basis over time that means that when the first salary increase is made an increase contribution by employees of 1 percent when the second salary increase was given in october of 2015 an additional 1.225 percent will be contributed by the employees for recommended program and finally in july of 2016 at 1.25 percent will be required to be contributed by the employee parties with the unions and the agency intended that the contribution of employees to
2:28 pm
this should be on a pretax basis and we will need to amend our cal percent contract to chief that we hope to bring that contract amendment to you as quickly as possible so we can effective i cannot that pretax reduction for the contribution new proposed labor arrangements with the ocii bargaining units will match the city similar city contracts for fiat holiday 4 fleeting holidays per calendar year and additional renovating holiday over the term of the contract city workers in 1021 and ton 21 don't have the benefit of the wellness incentive program that the city flez employees have provided a cash out value for
2:29 pm
sick time for retirement that's a value of 2 hundred 5 percent unused sick time also city employees don't have a separate beraechlt leave for the death of a family member associated with the employee instead the city workers are provided with the opportunity to use sick time so the proposed agreement before you today provides the wellness incentive program as well as the current beraechlt leave benefit for the ocii employees will continue through the next two years basically until the end of 2016 and it sunsets goes away so that in the future the benefits will more closely corridor to what city workers receive
2:30 pm
