DPPA Meeting with the CIO

Notes

Ø Feedback on OCIT meeting …

1. I told David Villanueva that I thought he is doing real well, probably the best CIO that I have seen for the County.

2. We covered what the OCIT All meeting would do for DPPA in the future.

Ø DPPA Representation Election

1. I told David about what had happened with the committee that will take the job of getting the ballot filled out.

2. David told us he would tell OCIT All about the vote when it happened.

Ø Budget

1. David told us the County was going to go ahead with finalizing their budget on September 7 – 9 no matter what the State does. If the State has not decided by then, the County will pass the budget and if the State takes away any money, then the Board of Supervisors will just adjust the budget at this point of time.

Ø Open Session

1. Allocated Cost Package (ACP) – Made up of four main categories; Communication Center, Debt Service (Building), The Service Desk and the Data Center (servers on the sixth floor of OCIT) which were billed by FTE (Full Time Equivalences). He said the ACP was being looked at by the representatives of the County and that it could change in the new year.

2. When asked about whether OCIT is going to Windows 7 David said yes, but the all the moving at OCIT had taken precedence and the kick off teams will get notified soon. But he said that was really the TRG territory.

3. There was talk of Cell Phones and what the new devices would mean to Blackberry’s hold on security.

4. Then David told us of the Coroner, SDA and ISA. All of these departments have come looking for services from OCIT.

028 Organizing Committee 2010-08-11 Kickoff Meeting Minutes

The 028 Organizing Research Committee met on 8/11. The committee established its charter as that of objectively researching each of the four options outlined on the Show of Interest cards recently submitted by more than 37% of the 028 members. The four organizing options being evaluated are:

1. Do nothing and remain unrepresented, with DPPA remaining as an unrecognized "Employee Association", with no bargaining rights

2. Have 028 form a union of its own under the auspices of DPPA

3. Join the union recently formed by SCMA to cover County management

4. Join UPEC Local 792 (not affiliated with UPE)

Committee volunteers were selected and the committee formed. The committee members are: Nancy Arkelian, Rich Reed, Elliott Quave, Kelly Newell, Paul Vaca, Susan Lew, Judy Adolph, Teryl Parnell, and Steve Souza (non-voting member).

It was decided by the committee that Local 39 had been sufficiently dismissed by the membership in the last circulation of show of interest cards, that the committee will not reevaluate the merits of Local 39.

It was decided by the committee to limit to one the number of DPPA Board members on the committee. That single DPPA member will be a non-voting member of the committee. The reasons discussed were those of committee objectivity and impartiality. Two of the options being evaluated for inclusion on the ballot (options 1 and 2 above) involve DPPA directly.

Subcommittees were selected to research, evaluate, and report back to the committee on their respective organizing option from among the four listed. Prior to the next meeting, meetings will be held with SCMA representatives and representatives from UPEC.

The next meeting will be held on Sept. 7th, 2010. At that time the committee will discuss the findings of the respective subcommittees and begin the process of 1) formulating recommendations regarding what is to be included on the organizing ballot, and 2) documenting all significant facts, both pro and con that the committee finds regarding each of the options evaluated.

The Return Address is wrong on the Mailing

The Zip Code on the 'Showing of Interest' mailing is wrong. The Zip Code should be 95812.

Elect Committee - Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

I have appointed Steve Sousa chairman of the committee to evaluate the options from the 'Showing of Interest ...' form. At this 028 Employee meeting we want people that are in favor of doing at least one of the options for forming an REO. We don't want people who want "No Organization"; which has to be on the ballot at all times. If you want to have a say in how 028 would perform in the future, now is the time to come and volunteer.
