Review draft Position Paper to consider increasing the annual contribution to the Employee Activities Organization (EAO) Holiday Lunch from $6,000 to $8,000 per year Mr. Bailey provided an overview of the Position Paper included in the agenda materials. He stated that the last increase was in 2018. Due to rising costs, staff requests that the Board consider an increase of$2,000 to help fund future events. There was a brief discussion regarding the inclusion of as many employees as possible at these events. Mr. Bailey suggested the possibility of having additional events at varied intervals but will have a conversation with staff to try and find creative ways to do this. COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended Board approval. 4. Other Items a. Continue Discussion Regarding Part-time Employees Mr. Leiber provided an overview of the memorandum included in the agenda materials. He stated that staff was asked to return to the Committee with more information regarding the practices of other agencies regarding part-time employment. Mr. Leiber stated that out of the twelve agencies contacted, more than half allowed part-time employment but had varied practices regarding benefits and the minimum number of hours required. Central San does allow employees to work no less than 32 hours with full benefits expiring after three months, and renewable thereafter. Ms. Manor stated that there is no language in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for part-time employment (apart from the temporary 32-hour or more hour arrangement noted above, in the MS/CG agreement). A discussion ensued whether part-time employees should have the same property rights, due processes and privileges as full-time employees such as benefits, pension and union representation. Mr. Bailey recommended having a closed-session discussion on the pros and cons with the full Board if that is the direction the Committee is going. Member Hockett stated that she viewed offering part-time employment as an advantage to the District in order to keep valuable employees but was not in favor of offering any benefits.

After further discussion regarding whether a benefits package should be available to part-time employees, Chair McGill requested further clarification from staff and recommended that this matter be continued to a future Committee meeting. COMMITTEE ACTION: The Committee requested that this discussion be continued to a future meeting. 5.
