SUMMARY: The Confidential Staff Bargaining Unit and the Board’s negotiating representative have agreed to terms for a new 3-year Memorandum of Understanding, attached as Exhibit 7-A. The new bargaining points incorporated into the agreement, as a result of this year’s negotiations, are essentially identical to those agreed upon by the Management Staff Bargaining Unit.

The one exception is that Confidential Staff, who are not represented by the United Public Employees of California, Local 792/Laborers’ International Union of North America, are still allowed to opt-out of the Northern California Laborers Trust health plan if they have alternate coverage through their spouse.

RECOMMENDATION: The General Manager recommends that the Board adopt the Confidential Staff Agreement as it appears in Exhibit 7-A.
