the Deschutes Services Building on December 24
and 31, 2009
WHEREAS, in order to mitigate projected general fund revenue shortfalls that could lead to
workforce and service reductions, the County has approached its local labor unions and requested
modifications to the relevant collective bargaining agreements;
WHEREAS, the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the County and the American
Federal of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3997 (AFSCME) provides in part that for fiscal
year 2010, the County will provide AFSCME represented employees a Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA) of three (3) percent; and
WHEREAS, the collective bargaining agreement between the County and the Deschutes County
Sheriffs Employees Association (DCSEA) was due to expire on June 30, 2009 and the parties had begun
negotiating a successor agreement, when DCSEA unilaterally declared that it would agree to a roll over of
the current contract without any COLA for 2010; and
WHEREAS, the actual January to January Consumer Price Increase for 2008-2009 was zero
(0%), which is a reflection of the current adverse economic climate locally, statewide and nationwide;
and
WHEREAS, following discussions between representatives of the County and AFSCME, the
parties agreed that the COLA would be deferred until April 2010 and that represented employees
would take two unpaid holidays on, December 24 and 31, 2009, which would be reflected in employee
paychecks in April, May and June, 2010; and
WHEREAS, ORS 205.242 requires that the office of the County Clerk be and remain open to
receive and certify instruments presented for recording every day except Saturdays, Sundays and other
holidays unless the county governing body adopts a resolution in which it determines that a fiscal
emergency exists; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES
COUNTY, OREGON, as follows:
Section 1. The Board hereby determines and declares that the current adverse economic
climate has led to significant general fund revenue shortfalls and thus created for Deschutes County a
