A Memorandum <br />of Understanding is needed in order to update the Public Works Labor Agreement which <br />is effective January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. <br />Discussion: <br />Council previously approved posting of the Parks Lead Worker, Streets Lead Worker <br />and Public Works Maintenance Worker — Forester positions. The two Lead positions <br />have been filled and the Public Works Maintenance Worker — Forester position <br />candidates will be interviewed in the next week. An oversight was noticed whereas a <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was not created for the Labor Contract <br />regarding the three new positions. Additionally the MOU states if anyone is hired or <br />transfers into the Public Works Collective Bargaining Unit and has not previously signed <br />the Labor Contract, by accepting the position a new employee or transferred employee <br />will be bound by the current Labor Contract. <br />Attached is a MOU approved by the bargaining group, the City Administrator and the <br />City Attorney. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 8940, a resolution approving a Memorandum <br />of Understanding between the City of Mounds View and the Public Works Collective <br />Bargaining Unit regarding the addition of a Parks Lead Worker, Streets Lead Worker, <br />and Public Works Maintenance Worker - Forester. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />RayTa Sue Ewald <br />Human Resources Coordinator <br />
