DATE: JULY 20 , 1993 County
SUBJECT: APPROVE SIDE LETTER REGARDING TERMS & CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
FOR SUNDAY OPERATIONS AT THE SAN RAMON LIBRARY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve attached July 9, 1993 Side Letter between Contra Costa County,
Contra Costa County Employees Association Local No. 1, and AFSCME Local
2700 regarding terms and conditions of employment for Sunday operations at
the San Ramon Library on a six-month pilot basis effective July 25, 1993.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None; 100% funded by City of San Ramon.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In 1990 the San Ramon City Council approved the creation of a San Ramon
Library Task Force to evaluate library services provided to citizens of San
Ramon. In its final report, the Task Force strongly recommended that
additional funding be sought to pay for Sunday hours. The County Library
was asked to provide preliminary cost estimates for this service to the City of
San Ramon. In June 1992 the San Ramon City Council approved funds to open
the San Ramon Library for four hours on Sunday afternoon and approved
$28,000 to accomplish this on a six-month pilot basis.
After months of negotiations with Local No. 1 and AFSCME Local 2700,
agreement was reached resulting in the aforementioned side letter.
