BACKGROUND: The City of San Rafael currently has seven (7) labor agreements that will expire on June 30, 2018. In addition, new compensation/benefit resolutions must be established for the unrepresented Executive Management group, the unrepresented Mid-Management group, and the Elected City Clerk and Elected Part Time City Attorney, whose current resolutions expire on June 30, 2018. Accordingly, the City will soon begin negotiating a new set of labor agreements and resolutions. For several years, the City has had the practice of using experienced, independent professionals to act as Lead Negotiator in represented contract negotiations. As in previous negotiations cycles, the Human Resources Director will continue to be “at the table” along with the independent negotiator. This model helps staff maintain cooperative relationships with bargaining unit representatives and avoids potential conflicts of interest that could arise if only internal staff were involved in negotiations. ANALYSIS: Given the City’s desire to execute new contracts with various bargaining groups, and the length of time involved to fulfill this important task, staff recommends that the City engage the legal firm of Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP for labor negotiation services. Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP has the specialized public sector labor expertise that will be beneficial in the upcoming negotiation cycle. This agreement provides for a full range of services, including meeting preparation, appropriate legal review of proposed bargaining group contracts, and coordinating with the City’s team. In addition, services will include time for interaction with the City Council, necessary technical research an d legal services that may be required for issues outside of the actual labor negotiation process. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 Although Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP would be engaged to lead the process, staff will continue to be extensively involved in the negotiations process. Along with other City staff, Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP attorneys will receive authority from the City Council and will coordinate strategy with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager and Human Resources Director. In addition, the management team will include support from the Department Directors, including the Finance Director for financial analysis, and the City Attorney for in-house legal support. The proposed agreement is based on a time/materials basis because the course of labor negotiations is hard to predict. The agreement stipulates that if the amount paid were to exceed $100,000, Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP would be required to seek authorization in writing from the City Manager in order to authorize additional hours/expenses if needed to finalize the collective bargaining agreements associated with the 2018 negotiations cycle. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in the contractual services budget in the general fund and other related funds that will receive benefit from these services. OPTIONS: The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter: 1. Adopt the resolution authorizing the agreement. 2. Adopt the resolution with modifications. 3. Direct staff to return with more information. 4. Take no action. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP for labor negotiation services.
