Labor
Management Meetings (Six Point Plan)
The first
LMC (Labor Management Committee) meeting was held 06/06/2007. Troy gave an overview of the
minutes. The members were asked to
think about what direction they wanted these meetings to go. There are two options:
1. Merging
of positions (ET3Ős with CE1Ős, ET4Ős with CE2Ős)
2. Parody
issue, addressing the same recruitment and retention problems as the CE series
There was
discussion regarding entry-level positions (ET1 vs. ET2).
There was discussion
about the CEIT program.
It was noted
that other classifications (i.e. R/W) may not have a recruitment/retention
problem per say, but there work load has substantially changed.
Councilmember
Meeting
Troy and
Mark Holden were two of the members that attended the meeting with Council
member Calvin Goings held 06/26/2007, and shared their thoughts. Overall it was a good meeting and
communication.
New

that the budget for 2008 includes 16 new positions. This will be presented at a County Council meeting, and it
