In December, 2019 PROTEC17 notified the District that the three Emergency Management Specialist employees working in the Public Health Emergency Preparedness & Response program wanted to join the union. Human Resources met with the union on December 10, 2019, and have agreed to an MOU to add the three positions into the bargaining unit. Due to the COVID response, there was a delay in preparing and finalizing the MOU; the union was aware of the delay.

Consistent with Resolution 19-20 and the revised Division of Responsibilities (10/8/19), the Board of Health has authority over the Health District budget.

MOVE TO authorize the Administrative Officer to sign the MOU with PROTEC17 regarding Emergency Management Specialists Representation.
