HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06262012 - SD.8RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2012/267 approving the Side Letter between Contra Costa County and AFSCME, Local 512
implementing negotiated conditions of employment for employees in the Probation Supervisors Unit, for the period
of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The terms and conditions set forth in the Board’s action of September 17, 2011 combined with today’s action are
estimated to achieve a FY 2012-13 structural annual net savings of $137,500. Of the $137,500, $138,400 is the
savings associated with the 3.66% reduction in salary, $87,800 in savings from the elimination of the Employer
subvention of Employee pension costs, $47,000 is the cost associated with the reduction of the employee paid
pension subvention, and $41,700 is the cost associated with increases to longevity pays. Additional savings will be
achieved in FY 2012/13 when the new pension tier is in place. The savings from the new pension tier will be
significant over time. These savings will help to alleviate the fiscal impact caused by reductions in property values
and the related decline in property tax revenues and the on-going structural deficit in the County’s budget.
