County employees rotate in membership on these seats. , SEIU, Local

ends November 30, 1993.
Bruce Peaslee has been serving as the Local 535 representative, but
has been unable to attend the meetings of the Advisory Council. As
a result, the Advisory Council suggested that the California
Nurses ' Association (CNA) be asked to appoint a representative to
replace Local 535 . However, CNAis not the next , employee
organization for this labor seat. AFSCME, Local 512 will be
entitled under the existing rotation plan to this seat as of

has selected another of their members who is able and willing to

most appropriate and fair way to address this situation.

INTERNAL OPERATIONS MMITTEE
FROM: Claude L. Van Marte sistant County Administrator
SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF LABO REPRESENTATIVE ON THE
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL
Attached is a memo from the Chair of the Equal Employment
Opportunity Advisory Council (EEOAC) asking that SEIU Local 535 be
replaced by the California Nurses ' Association (CNA) since the
representative from Local 535 has not been attending meetings of
the EEOAC.
I have discussed this issue with Bruce Peaslee, the SEIU Local 535
representative on the EEOAC. He admits that he has had difficulty
attending meetings and has also had difficulty getting an alternate
who is willing to attend meetings . However, he has now located an
individual who is interested in attending as Local 535 ' s
representative. While Mr. Peaslee says he has no problem with
replacing Local 535 with CNA if that is the Board of Supervisors '
choice, he would prefer that his new appointee have an opportunity
to fill out the balance of his term.
Staff would, therefore, recommend that Mr. Peaslee be replaced by
Yvonne Berry-Gupton, rather than replacing Local 535 with CNA.
Obviously, if Ms . Berry-Gupton does not attend regularly, it would
be appropriate for the EEOAC to bring this fact to the attention of
the Internal Operations Committee.

To: . In jeral Operations Committee
From: nan Dumas, Chair
- vry Council on Equal employment Opportunity
Subject: Union Membership
The Advisory Council on Equal Employment Opportunity request that
the Internal Operations Committee designate the California Nurses
Association the union that will replace SEIU on the Advisory
Council .
This request is made because SEIU's representative has not attended
more than half of the meetings and when notified, they have not
responded by sending a representative to the meetings.
The California Nurses Association is the next union scheduled for
the Advisory Council based on your previously approved rotation
schedule for unions.
We would appreciate your immediate approval to our recommendation
so we can continue to meet with the full number of representatives .
