Mr. Dolan, GM-CE, explained that in 1978 the County retirement system implemented a cost of living (COL) increase feature in the retirement program which was to be paid be the employees. In 1978 the Board acted (Res. 78-175) to pay a portion of the employees retirement contribution equivalent to the COL program, including a salary adjustment for those employees with 30 or more years of credited service in the retirement system. Those 30 year employees are not required to make any further contributions to the retirement system. At that time a salary adjustment of 2-1/2% was initiated to compensate those 30 year employees in compliance with Resolution No. 78-175. A discrepancy now exists in that the retirement contribution percentage rate has increased, whereas, the 2-1/2% salary adjustment has remained constant for those 30 year service employees. Speaking on behalf of the issue was Mr. David Johnson, President of the Employees Association, who gave further input to the situation. After discussion it was moved by Member Stanley, seconded by Member Campbell, that the 2-1/2% base salary adjustment for those employees with 30 years or more of service be changed to reflect the actual percentage rate paid by the District into the Retirement System COL program.

After discussion, it was moved by Member Campbell, seconded by Member Stanley, that a resolution appointing Board representatives for the purpose of meeting and conferring with the Employees Association. Resolution No. 80-97. Motion was unanimously approved. Mr. David Johnson, President of the Employees Association, questioned the appropriateness of having two employees serve as representatives who are not a part of management. The Board pointed out that the representatives are not being appointed because they are considered to be individuals who would be best suited to represent the Board and management on issues that are subject to "Meet and Confer" sessions. 9. APPROVAL OF BILLS FOR LITIGATION SERVICES After explanation by Mr. Carniato, District Counsel, and Board discussion, it was moved by Member Boneysteele, seconded by Member Stanley, that the statements totalling $2,726.07 for services rendered relative to Kaiser Industries and the Peterson/Simpson matters be approved.
