JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS
• Deciding on a formula
• Keep it as fair, simple and understandable as possible
• Formula fights are tough on the partnership
• Reviewing the agreement
• Legal entity – details are important – liability is a primary driver.
• Open ended agreements get stale after awhile – revise periodically to keep it fresh-build in required formula reviews
33
UNION CONTRACTS
• BEC has 8 unions – two of three AFSCME groups bargain together (others are LELS,
MNPEA, Teamsters (2), 49er’s, AFSCME)
• Seek to have all general wage adjustments (COLA’s) the same for all bargaining groups.
Have been able to do so since 1994.
• Cost considerations –
• General wage adjustment (salary and mandatory benefits)
• Special pay categories (shift differential, lead worker, retention, call back, on call)
• Insurance provisions
34
DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED
• Budget amendments
• Materiality
• OSA
• Administrator procurement authority
• Planning for recessions or windfalls
• Drivers for your county i.e. Agriculture
35
DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED
