The FY2015 Salary Resolution should reflect the same concessions for the non-represented employees in Unit 2 or benefits should be restored to the employees represented by CFMEA, Local 39, and IBEW. The Fresno City Employees Association believes the current proposed Fiscal Year 2015 Salary Resolution sends an inconsistent message to represented employees regarding the City's need and desire to attain long-term fiscal stability. This demonstration of the Executive Management's value system that segregates unrepresented employees from those that have given for the past five years yet continue to work tirelessly to provide essential services to the citizens of the City of Fresno is unnecessary. We also believe the proposed changes to the salary range of the non-represented job classifications listed in Exhibit 2 of the proposed Fiscal Year 2015 Salary Resolution damage employee morale and hinder current negotiations with bargaining groups. It is difficult for employees to accept the loss of wages and benefits when non-represented employees will be eligible for salary increases of 5 percent to 27.8 percent during the next year or two. During negotiations with labor groups city representatives have made repeated claims that the city is still struggling financially and tha t the city expects ALL employees to make concessions that will assist with long term sustainability. The proposed FY2015 Salary Resolution makes it clear that management is only expecting concessions from employees represented by a recognized bargaining group. Letter to Council Members June 26, 2014 Agenda Item 9:45 A. Page 2 of 3 Please amend the FY2015 Salary Resolution Sections listed below or direct staff to negotiate the restoration of benefits to the affected bargaining groups. FY2015 Salary Resolution Section 8—Administrative Leave Unrepresented employees listed in Exhibit 2 will continue to receive 60 hours of Administrative Leave on July 1 and may be granted up to an additional 32 hours of administrative leave each year based on annual job performance. However, the CFMEA MOU approved on 12/12/2013 reduced their Administrative Leave. CFMEA members now accrue 48 hours on July 1 and can no longer be granted up to an additional 32 hours based on job performance. Local 39 and IBEW are not eligible for administrative leave. FY2015 Salary Resolution Section 11— Holidays Unrepresented employees listed in Exhibit 2 of the Salary Resolution will continue to accrue 8 hours holiday leave on January 1 and 8 hours on July 1 of each calendar year in lieu of February 12th (Lincoln's Birthday) and September 9th (Admissions Day). However, CFMEA, Local 39, and IBEW no longer accrue 8 hours of holiday leave on January 1 and July 1 of each year due to contract concessions. All labor groups have been advised that the city is moving to reduce the number of holiday hours. FY2015 Salary Resolution Section 12—Supplemental Sick Leave Unrepresented employees listed in Exhibit 2 of the Salary Resolution will continue to accrue 40 hours of supplemental sick leave on July 1. However, CFMEA members will no longer accrue supplemental sick leave based on the MOU approved on 12/12/2013. Local 39 and IBEW never had this benefit. FY2015 Salary Resolution Section 19—Health and Welfare benefits The City will continue to contribute 80 percent of the premium established by the Fresno City employees Health and Welfare Trust Board for all full time permanent employees occupying the non-represented classes listed in Exhibit 2. However, the city will now be contributing only 75 percent of the premium for members of CFMEA, Local 39, and IBEW. Plus the city will only cover 50% of any future premium increases. FY2015 Salary Resolution Section 23 —Workers Compensation Unrepresented employees listed in Exhibit 2 of the Salary Resolution who sustain an injury or illness in the course and scope of City employment will continue to receive 76 percent of full wages and salary from the City. Letter to Council Members June 26, 2014 Agenda Item 9:45 A. Page 3 of 3 However, members of CFMEA, Local 39, and IBEW now receive 66.67 percent of their earnings when they sustain an injury or illness in the course and scope of City employment. During the past 5 years our City has experienced some very difficult financial challenges and employees have been asked to sacrifice in order to help our city survive the fiscal crisis. It is true that some have sacrificed more than others, but every employee has been impacted by the tough times and the bargaining groups have made various concessions to help the city. The Fresno City Employees Association has worked tirelessly to partner with the city and serve the citizens. Our members voluntarily took a 3% salary reduction in FY2012 and a 2% salary reduction in FY2013. The salary concessions were on top of the 2% furlough deduction taken during calendar years 2010, 2011, and 2012. Our members are dedicated public servants that have been willing to make sacrifices. However, the proposed FY2015 Salary Resolution will make current negotiations more difficult. Please reassure the employees that their dedication and service to the citizens of Fresno is appreciated by either voting to amend the FY2015 Salary Resolution or by directing staff to negotiate a restoration of lost benefits to the affected bargaining groups. Sincerely, r �r 'bcv� Dee Barnes FCEA President Attachments Language for Unit 2 in the Proposed FY2015 Salary Resolution SECTION 8. - ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE FOR EMPLOYEES IN EXHIBIT 2 (pages 7 & 8) A.

If such employee is required to and does work on his or her birthday, or his or her birthday falls on a holiday or any regular day off, the number of hours worked up to eight (8) hours shall be credited to the employee's holiday leave balance on the first day of the pay period following his or her birthday.

C. Pay for performance bonuses for exempt employees shall be considered pensionable compensation for calculation at retirement benefits, but shall not be included as part of the base salary or salary ranges. SECTION 23. - SALARIES FOR EMPLOYEES IN EXHIBIT 2 WHILE ABSENT DUE TO INJURY IN THE LINE OF DUTY (on page 15) Notwithstanding the provisions of FMC Section 3-118, an employee in the unrepresented management group who sustains an injury or illness in the course and scope of City employment shall receive 76 percent of full wages and salary from the City, beginning on the fourth calendar day of such absence and continuing thereafter, unless hospitalized on the first day for at least 24 hours or unless the absence exceeds 14 calendar days, in which case the employee shall receive the 76 percent (76%) from the first day. At the employee's option, in the event that pay from the City is not provided during the first three (3) days of absence due to injury, the employee may take frozen sick leave for that period. Except as modified herein, the provisions of FMC Section 3-118 shall apply. Page 2 of 3 Health & Welfare language for represented employees: Local 39 MOU Should any other represented bargaining unit in the City negotiate a successor MOU, or extend the period of an MOU, or have terms imposed resulting in a greater contribution by the City, upon the Union's request, the City will match that benefit. CFMEA MOU Should any other represented bargaining unit in the City receive a greater contribution towards health benefits from the City, either through negotiation of a successor MOU, extension of the period of an MOU, or imposition of terms, resulting in a contribution by the City which is a percentage of the health premium as opposed to a flat contribution rate, the City and the Association will meet and confer with the goal of providing an equivalent benefit.
