MT& 3-6-01 REQUEST FOR OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL TO ATTEND
DEPT. HR THE NATIONAL PUBLIC EMPLOYER LABOR RELATIONS
ASSOCIATION (NPELRA) ANNUAL CONFERENCE
3ECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. dOi# 7/ approving out-of-state travel for the Acting Human Resources
Director to attend the National Public Employer Labor Relations Association Annual
Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The National Public Employer Labor Relations Association (known as NPELRA) is a nation-
wide organization of over 2,000 public sector professionals employed by federal, state and
local governments, schools and special districts. NPELRA’s mission is to provide high-
quality, progressive labor relations advice, provide legislative and judicial advocacy for its
members, and provide opportunities for networking with other members employed in other
members agencies throughout the country.
As part of the committee that is planning the annual conference for the California chapter of
this organization (CALPELRA), the City’s Acting Human Resources Director has been
invited to participate in the NPELRA annual conference in April 2001. This conference will
offer the opportunity to network and to share important information related to employee
relations and labor relations in public agencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
When the 2000-2001 budget was developed for the Human Resources Department, staff was
unaware of the location for the NPELRA annual conference and this event was not
specifically mentioned in the departmental travel detail. The cost for the Acting Human
Resources Director to attend the three day conference in April will be approximately $2,100.
Should Council approve this request for attendance, this amount will be absorbed by the
current department budget and will therefore have no additional fiscal impact.

Resources Director to attend the National Public Employer Labor Relations
Association Annual Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
