BACKGROUND: When the County and the California Nurses Association entered a new Memorandum of Understanding in early June 2006, employees in the classification of Registered Nurse received an increase in their base rate of pay effective October 1, 2005. Section 58.8, subsection A.3., of the 1999-2005 Memorandum of Understanding between the County and Local One states, "The pay differential between the classes of Public Health Nurse and Registered Nurse existing on June 30, 1985 shall be maintained for the duration of this Memorandum of Understanding." Employees in the classification of Public Health Nurse will receive a three percent (3%) salary adjustment, effective October 1, 2005, and a lump sum payment on their August 10, 2006 paychecks. The proposed Lump Sum Payment Agreement between the County and Local One would be consistent with the spirit of Section 58.8, subsection A.3, of the 1999-2005 Memorandum of Understanding between the County and Local One. Under the Lump Sum Payment Agreement, in lieu of a retroactive pay calculation requiring special payroll processing back to October 1, 2005, the County would make a lump sum payment to each currently employed County Public Health Nurse, without back interest, covering October 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. The lump sum payment would also require Local One, on behalf of itself and its members, to withdraw with prejudice any grievance or complaint concerning Section 58.8, subsection A.3, of the Memorandum of Understanding between the County and Local One. i CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: X YES SIGNATURE: v RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMEN15ATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE :/APPROVE OTHER r SIGNATURE(S): ACTION OF BO D APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS 1 HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE AND CORRECT UNANIMOUS(ABSENT ) COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AND ENTERED ON THE AYES: NOES: MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE ABSENT: ABSTAIN: SHOWN.
