Resolutions
Item 8e&f. Labor Agreements. The City and Service Employees International Union, Local
521 (SEIU) have concluded negotiations for employees of the Blue and White Collar Units and
tentatively agreed upon a new memorandums of understanding (MOU). The resolution
recommended for approval is consistent with Council guidelines. Due to ongoing poor fiscal
circumstances, members of the Blue and White Collar units have not received a cost of living
wage adjustment since 2014. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, no wage adjustments
will occur.The agreement does include a provision for a one-time payment of$750 for employees
who are employed as of July 1, 2018. Several other minor revisions to the previous agreement are
included in the new MOU. The term of the agreement is proposed to run through December 31,
2019. As historically done, the applicable terms of the agreement will be extended to the officers
and employees of the General Supervisory, Police Supervisory, and Management Units by way of
a separate resolution. Staff is requesting approval of both items.
Bids
Item 8y. Backup Storm Lift Station Generators. The City previously applied for and received
grant funding through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program for two backup generators at two
storm lift stations within Beach Park and at the police pistol range. The grant funding pays for
approximately 75 percent of the total costs of the generators, with sewer enterprise funds
providing the local match requirement of 25 percent. These generators are critical components
of the City's hazard mitigation program, as they will ensure the lift stations will continue to operate
if a disruption to electrical power occurs during a storm event or otherwise. Staff is requesting the
council accept the low bid for the installation of the generators and approve the contract to
begin this work.
