SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Assistant County Administrator — Director of Human
Resources or designee, to execute a contract amendment agreement with Human Resource
Practitioners effective March 1, 2005, to increase the payment limit by $16,740 to a new
payment limit of $41,740 to provide continued labor relations consulting services, with no
change in the term of February 1, 2005 though June 30, 2005.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost associated with this contract is offset by salary and benefit savings realized from two
(2) permanent, budgeted vacant positions in the Labor Relations Service Unit of the Human
Resources Department.
BACKGROUND
The Human Resources Department has contracted with Human Resource Practitioners to
provide labor relations consulting services to assist the newly hired Labor Relations Manager
develop an understanding of County procedures, policies and practices as they relate to the
labor relations agreements with the County's unions and bargaining units, contract
interpretation, grievance resolution, and effective discipline. The contractor has also been
integrally involved with the County Administrator to brainstorm, research and develop
management strategies for the upcoming labor negotiations that reflects the priorities of the
Board of Supervisors, the limitations of the County's budget, the needs of operating
departments, and the concerns of County employees.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The denial of this contract amendment agreement will negatively impact the successful
transitioning of the new Labor Relations Manager and will impair the County's ability to
prepare for effective contract negotiations.
