DEPT. ADMIN. AND IMPROVED EYE CARE PLAN COVERAGE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ITEM EXPLANATION
In the past, the District employees (classified employees) selected representatives from each of their divisions/depart- ments.(Administration, Engineering and Maintenance-Operations) to negotiate-with the Board. These representatives met with members of the Board of Directors' Personnel Committee to discuss and negotiate the employee requests for the new fiscal year. The package was then presented to the full Board by the employee representatives and with the recommendations of the Personnel Committee. The full Board then discussed and acted on the employee requests at that Board meeting.
The employees generally have limited their requests in the past, to the cost-of-living increase in accordance with the CPI-U,index (monthly update of L.A. region) and to some increase or adjustment in the employees ' health insurance program.
This year the employee representatives have presented their requests to the General Manager for discussion and negotiations. The employees are requesting a 5.5% increase in accordance with the previously mentioned CPI-U index. In addition, the employees have requested an increase in the eye plan coverage in the health insurance package. The increase in the coverage will provide exams, frames and lens every twelve months and will include tint and photogray but not heavy duty 400 or ultra violet coating.
The procedure changed this year by having the representatives meet and confer with the General Manager. The employee represen- tatives will not be meeting with the Board of Directors as they have in the past. The General Manager is conveying the requests to the Board of Directors in this agenda bill with recommendations.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to the District for the 5.5% cost-of-living increase would be $5,081.00 per month or $60,972.00 annually. The cost to the District for the improved eye care coverage will cost the
