PARKS, BUILDING & <br />GROUNDS AND UTILITIES DEPARTMENTS) <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of May 8, 1998: <br />TO: <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE: <br />May 8, 1998 <br />SUBJECT: <br />Teamsters Contract <br />FROM: <br />James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />Attached for the Board's consideration is the recommended collective bargaining <br />agreement with Teamsters Local Union No. 769. <br />The proposed agreement is for two years, effective October 1, 1998. As reflected in <br />Article 33, Section 2, a 3% cost of living increase is provided each fiscal year of the contract <br />period. There are no other proposed changes from the provisions contained in the current <br />agreement. <br />The bargaining unit employees have ratified the proposed agreement. <br />I believe the agreement for a two year period is equitable, and recommend approval. <br />County Administrator Chandler recommended the contract which has been ratified <br />by the Teamsters. This is a 2 -year agreement with the only change being an annual across- <br />the-board 3% increase for each of the 2 years. <br />Commissioner Ginn noted that on Page 120 of the backup, it states that when an <br />employee is absent from work for 3 days with no notice to the County that is considered an <br />abandoned position. Those employees retain a right to grieve and she asked Administrator <br />Chandler to look into that clause for the next renewal. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board <br />unanimously approved the Contract between Indian <br />River County and Teamsters Local Union No. 769, <br />as recommended by staff. <br />CONTRACT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE <br />OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />MAY 199 1998 <br />-66- <br />0 0 <br />
