MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Mr. Bob Solari, Chairman <br /> Ms. Susan Adams, Vice-Chairman <br /> Mr. Joseph E. Fletcher, Commissioner <br /> Mr. Tim Zorc, Commissioner <br /> Mr. Peter D. O'Bryan, Commissioner <br /> FROM: Wayne L. Helsby, Esq. <br /> DATE: September 6, 2019 <br /> RE: Collective bargaining impasse between the Indian River Sheriff's Office <br /> and the Indian River County Deputies' Association, I U.P.A., Local 6080; <br /> SM-2018-029 <br /> CC: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br /> Dylan Reingold, Esq., County Attorney <br /> County Attorney Dylan Reingold has invited the parties to this impasse dispute to submit <br /> written briefs or memorandums setting forth their respective positions in advance of the upcoming <br /> impasse hearing on September 13, 2019. Sheriff Daryl Loar previously submitted to you a <br /> memorandum dated July 8, 2019 providing background on the impasse and his recommendations <br /> for resolving the impasse. I will simply add a brief commentary. <br /> The current collective bargaining agreement between the Sheriff's Office and IUPA <br /> expires on September 30, 2019; however, the contract contains a "wage re-opener" for the 2018- <br /> 19 fiscal year. The Sheriff's Office and IUPA began negotiations for a 2018-19 wage increase in <br /> January of 2018. Subsequent to the Sheriff's Budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year being finalized, <br /> the Sheriff provided a proposal to the Union on August 13, 2018. This was not accepted by the <br /> Union. The parties met again on August 31, 2018 and September 24, 2018. These meetings ended <br /> without agreement on wages. The Sheriff provided a second proposal on November 2, 2018 and <br /> the Union rejected the proposal and declined to present the Sheriff's proposal to the membership. <br /> Thereafter, the Union declared an impasse on December 3, 2018. <br /> SPDN-868764429-2604710 14 <br />
