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

SLIDE 34

UNION CONTRACTS

• BEC has 8 unions – two of three AFSCME groups bargain together (others are LELS,

MNPEA, T eamsters (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
