J. Perlick, and the nego- tiating team of AFSCME Local 122 declared impasse. It is our position that the remaining issues be submitted to mediation for resolution. Issu~s remaining unresolved.are as follows: AFSCME CITY 1. Salary - 8.5% 1st year, plus four ranges for ID Techs, effective July 1, 1985. 5% 1st year, no retroactive " - .:..~-- 6.5% 2nd year of contract . Salary agreement to include provision 'for mutuallycondlicted salary survey,' -- and any resulting equity adjustments implemented as of 2nd year of contraGt. 3.5% 2nd 'year of con~ract no counterproposal 2. Benefit package to include provi~10n to share any increased premium costs equally with employees~ $80/135 cafeteria plan with no additional adjustments, if necessary. . As you well know, eleven of the Inland Empife cities pay the entire employee share of PERS (7%), while San Bernardino pays 2%. This in addition to wide discrepancies in wages, leaves San Bernardino at the bottom of the list in comparing desirable work locations. The General Employees represented by Local 122 have served the City well and de- serve every improved consideration that can possibly be extended. 'There is an urgent need, both for the City and the employees, to improve morale and the City's image and the most significant way to do that is by improved wages for better liv- ing conditions. The City's interests are best served by addressing this problem hones~ly and fairly. Sincerely, ~ (] /Yl. ~ Imparato Staff Representative CC: .
