Agenda Item
July 27, 2015
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Scott C. Derickson, City Administrator
SUBJECT:
Bargaining Agreement with Local 642, AFSCME
:
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing execution of a collective bargaining
agreement with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal
Employees(AFSCME), Local 642.
:
BACKGROUND
In January 2015, AFSCME and the City opened bargaining for the contract year
beginning July 1, 2015. Based on the results of negotiations conducted pursuant
to your guidance, a tentative two(2)year agreement was reached with
AFSCME. The agreement was ratified by a majority of the AFSCME membership
on July 14, 2015.
:
DISCUSSION
The primary concern of this negotiation was to hold the line tothe greatest
extent possible with economics because in the summer of 2017 we will be faced
with a significant PERS increase (takes effect July 1, 2017), and we willalso need
to negotiate mitigated Health Insurance Premiums for calendar year 2018 (to
absorb Affordable Care Act tax implications) at this time. Thus we believe our
best strategy was not to negotiate a three (3) year agreement as our possible
options would be severely limited. For this reason the list of material changes is
fairly short:
1.We negotiated atwo 2-year Agreement set to expire June 30, 2017.
2.Wage increases for each year are 2% except for a small group of seven
(7) employees withspecial skills andwherethere is concern that they
would possibly leave for other jurisdictions, (we experienced two positional
turnovers for these positions in the last three years, finding replacements is
difficult).
Agenda Item Review:City Administrator __x____City Attorney __x____Finance __x___

Page 2
3.We cleaned up several archaic language issues that are not material to
the contract.
4.Maintained 85%-15% funding arrangement (Union strongly sought a
reduction).
5.Sick Leave was highlighted as an area needing improvement; both
parties sought changes went back-to-book.
6.Cleared up timekeeping rules.
7.Cleaned up transcript costs for arbitrations.
8.Reconfirmed understanding that Measure 91 (marijuana initiative)has no
employment impact to bargaining unit whatsoever.
9.Negotiated new language that any new law enacted has a material
impact on the City financial we have a right to mitigate said impact
through arbitration.
In summary, these are verydifficult times to be negotiating labor agreements.
Through hard work by many people on the management team and a lot of
meetings we are able say that we have an agreement that will provide us with
the operational flexibility we need in these highly uncertain times.
:
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As previously presented to the City Council, the proposed agreement represents
savings in overall health care costs, makes modest adjustments to some
compensation packages and meets the City Council’s financial objectives per
the Councils adopted Five Year Financial Forecast and Budget Policies.

Agenda Item

TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:Jim Row, Assistant City Administrator
SUBJECT:
Review of FHDC’s Proposal for Potential Purchase and Development
of City Owned Property Located at 1750 Park Ave
:
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Councilconduct a workshop to review and discuss a proposal
presented byFarmworker Housing Development Corporation (FHDC) to purchase
and develop City owned property located at 1750 Park Ave. It is requested that
the City Council provide policy direction to staff regarding its desire to enter into
formal negotiations with FHDC.
BACKGROUND:
The Council’sFY 14/15 Goals includeddevelopingaplan for city owned property,
which involves the review of all Cityowned real property and the identification of
possible surplus properties to be sold or reallocated as needed. Based on Marion
County Assessor’s records, the city currently owns120 parcelsof real property. The
parcels vary in size and use. On April 27, 2015 the City Council directed staff to
initiate the process of declaring 11 City owned parcels as surplus, including the
property located at 1750 Park Ave.
DISCUSSION:
In late June 2015, FHDC representatives contactedCity staff to discuss their
interest in purchasing the subject property forthe purpose of constructing a
farmworker housing development.Staff expects FHDC to submit a proposal for
discussion on July 23, 2015, which is after the deadline for inclusion in the Agenda
Packet. We hope to provide the Council with an electronic copyof the
proposal/ presentation in advance of the July 27 meeting.
If the Council is interested in considering a sale to FHDCfor this purpose, staff will
conduct an appraisal of the property, negotiate a sales price, and bring a
purchase offer to the Council for approval.

Honorable Mayor and City Council

In order to transfer ownership, the City must also initiate the process of declaring
the property as surplus. Under state law, the declaration of surplus property by a
city requires published notice, a public hearing, and the passageof a resolution
finding that the property is not needed for public use.
Marion County Assessor’s records listthe parcel asproperty ID#R13074, with a size
of 2.79 acres anda real market value of $210,590. The property was purchased
by the Cityin 1976forthe amount of $300.00 (other considerations of purchase
have not been determined). It is currently zoned
Medium Density Residential
(RM). The east half of this property has an existing city water well, two structures
used for equipment storage andan area for material storage. TheCity can likely
make accommodations for the loss of storage, but will need to assess the need
for retaining the well for emergency water supply purposes. The appraisal and
sales negotiation processes will include consideration of an option for the City to
retain ownership and operational rights to the well
