RESOLUTION NO. 88/22
Letter of Agreement
This Letter of Agreement confirms agreement by the parties to recommend to the
Board of Supervisors wage adjustments as enumerated below for employees in the
Deputy Public Defender bargaining unit represented by Contra Costa County
Employees Association, Local No. 1, as listed below.
It is also agreed that a Lump Sum Payment, in lieu of a retroactive payment
back to July 1, 1987, will be made in accordance with the processing procedure
enumerated in paragraph II below.
I. Wage Increases
A. Effective July 1, 1987, the Deputy Public Defender I salary range shall
be changed to C2 1547. (2470-2593)
B. Effective January 1, 1988 each represented classification shall
receive a general wage increase as specified below.
% LEVELS SALARY RANGE
Deputy Public Defender IV 6.5 63 C5 2293 (4497-5466)

Deputy Public Defender II 7.0 68 C5 2017 (3413-4148)
Deputy Public Defender I 4.0 39 C1 1616 (2778F)
II . Lump Sum Payment
In lieu of a retroactive pay requiring special payroll recomputation
processing back to July 1, 1987, the County will make a "lump sum payment"
to each employee for the months of July, August, September, October,
November and December, 1987, computed as follows: Two Payroll
quarter-to-date (July, August and September 10th & '25th payrolls) +
(October, November and December 10th & 25th payrolls) gross earnings (base
pay minus AWOP) .
2Q-T-D PR'S = Retro Pay Base (RPB)
RPB X % = Lump Sum Payment
Then the Retro Pay Base will be multiplied by the appropriate percent (%)
for employees in each classification to compute the lump sum payment as
itemized below:
Lump Sum Payment Schedule
CLASS TIME PERIOD
Deputy Public Defender IV 2QTD PR'S = RPB X 6.5% = Lump Sum Payment
Deputy Public Defender III 2QTD PR'S = RPB X 6.5% = Lump Sum Payment
Deputy Public Defender II 2QTD PR'S = RPB X 5.0% = Lump Sum Payment
Deputy Public Defender I 2QTD PR'S = RPB X 3.0% = Lump Sum Payment
An additional (2.5%) , in lieu of a retroactive pay for longevity differential ,
will be computed into the lump sum payment for those Deputy Public Defenders
with ten or more years of County Service as of July 1, 1987 as listed in
Section IV.
Due to the July 1, 1987 change in the number of steps on the Deputy Public
Defender I salary range, and in lieu of a retroactive pay, the following
employees will receive an additional 5% of the Retro Pay Base added into the
Lump Sum Payment:
Employee # Name
43712 Rebecca Young
43715 Steven Lewis
43867 Stuart Blumstein
42612 Andrea Trexler
Mary Pryor, Employee #42643, will receive an additional 5% of the 4th Quarter
(Oct.-Nov.-Dec. ) portion of the Retro Pay Base added into the Lump Sum Payment.
The lump sum payment will be added to employees' regular pay and is subject to
normal tax withholding and retirement deduction requirements.
III . Wage Formula to Move to Market Equity for Public Defenders
On July 1, 1989 and on July 1st each year thereafter, the County will
provide pay increases in addition to negotiated cost of living salary
adjustments for D.P.D. I, II , III, & IV according to the following formula:
The average sal ary at the top step for the top working level attorney in
the Public Defender's Office of the below listed nine (9) agencies
effective June 30 of each year will be computed. Any pay increases in the
other nine (9) agencies' salaries which become effective June 30 or
earlier, but on a retroactive basis, and thus are not actually in effect on
June 30, will not adjust the computed salary average of the nine (9)
agencies for that year. The computed average will be increased by 2.5% for I
productivity enhancement. The resulting amount in dollars will be the
salary equity pay target for July 1st that year. The nine (9) agencies
are:
Los Angeles County
San Francisco City and County
State of California
Alameda County
Santa Clara County
Orange County
Sacramento County
Riverside County
San Bernadino County
i
I
i
The formula described above is shown mathematically below:
(1 ) Total Salaries (9 agencies) $ : 9 = average P.D. Atty. salary $
(2) Average salary $ X 102.5% = July 1st salary target
It is understood that the target salary may change as the nine (9)
agencies' salaries change each year.
Beginning July 1, 1989, after computing the target salary for July 1 each
year, the County will move toward meeting the target salary by providing
pay equity increases at the rate of 1%/$ for each 2%1$ provided as general
cost-of-living increases for Deputy Public Defenders I , II, III , IV base
pay. The pay equity salary adjustments will continue under the formula
described above on July 1 of each year until the top step of the Deputy
Public Defender IV base salary effective July 1st is equal to or greater
than the previous day's (June 30) target salary at which time the County
will meet with the Public Defenders' Unit and discuss continuance of the
formula.
IV. Public Defender Longevity Differential Program
Effective July 1, 1987 and thereafter Deputy Public Defenders who have
completed ten (10) years of County Service will be eligible to receive,
commencing the first of the following month, a 2.5% longevity differential ,
conditional on having previously received two consecutive satisfactory
annual performance evaluations as certified by the appointing authority.
If a Deputy Public Defender has not previously received two consecutive
satisfactory annual performance evaluations, (s)he will be reconsidered for
the longevity differential annually on their service year anniversary date
under the same criteria as the initial ten (10) years' service review, with
the understanding that the appointing authority will conduct an annual
performance evaluation prior to the review.
Those Deputy Public Defenders (listed below) who had completed the required
ten (10) years County Service prior to July 1, 1987, will receive the
longevity differential without further review. Those with ten years of
County Service are:
Employee # Name
20637 M. Madonne
26671 D. Levine
23637 P. Berger
27558 J. Bradley
27801 W. Veale
29869 W. Egan
30359 S. Hutcher
32214 M. Kotin
30903 T. Oehrlein
31334 M. Gray
31832 J. Rauch
32227 P. Mariano
The County Personnel Department will be responsible for the administration
and maintenance of record keeping and forms processing in support of the
longevity differential program.
V. Temporary Employees Appointed To Permanent Positions In The Public
Defenders' Bargaining Unit
Temporary employees are covered by the Letter of Understanding dated 5-7-87
between Local 1 and the County. Those temporary employees who are
appointed to permanent positions in the same class immediately upon
completion of their temporary appointment shall be placed as permanent
employees at the same step of the salary range they occupied as temporary
employees. This section shall be considered the "mutually agreeable
guidelines" referenced in Section 5.3 of the MOU.
Additionally, such temporary employees are eligible for a temporary salary
review under Section 6 of the LOU and accumulate a record of straight time
hours worked for purposes of determining when an employee is eligible for a
salary review. When a temporary employee has been appointed to a permanent
position (as per the above paragraph) , the anniversary date of the
permanent employee shall be set by "counting" the straight time hours
worked since the initial temporary appointment or the last temporary salary
review, whichever date is later, as a portion of the six (6) months
(equivalent to 1040 STHW) or one (1) year (equivalent to 2080 STHW) from
date of permanent appointment required under Sections 5.4A and 5.4E of the
MOU respectively.
VI . The County will continue to honor the 1985-87 MOU provisions addressing
the following terms and conditions of employment.
A) The Professional Advisory Committee;
B) Compensatory Leave;
C) Miranda Watch; and
D) Sabbatical Leave.
E) Miscellaneous Professional Expenses
VII . MOU Section 32: Flexible Staffing
Certain positions may be designated by the Personnel Director as flexibly
staffed positions. Positions are generally allocated at the first level of
the job series when vacated. When the position is next filled and an
incumbent of one of these positions meets the minimum qualifications for
the next higher level and has met appropriate competitive requirements,
he/she may then be promoted to the next higher classification within the
job series without need of a classification study. The County's practice,
as provided for in the Personnel Management Regulations Sections 306e, 502b
and 713, of allowing work performed as a temporary employee in a particular
class to be used as part of the experience needed to meet the minimum
requirements of a class and/or to constitute work performed in that class,
shall continue. If an operating department verifies in writing that an
administrative or clerical error was made in failing to submit the documents
needed to promote an employee on the first of the month when eligible, said
appointment shall be made retroactive to the first of the month when
eligible. An employee who is denied a promotion to a flexibly-staffed
position may appeal such denial to the Merit Board.
VIII . The Public Defender agrees to meet with Local 1 and representatives of
the Public Defender Unit Employees to discuss work load standards.
C
IX. The Public Defenders' Unit will submit a "position paper" to the County
Administrator regarding the use of temporary positions in the Public Defenders'
Office. The "position paper" will be reviewed with the Board of Supervisors.
If the foregoing conforms to your understanding, please indicate your approval
and acceptance below.
