ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
1. Report regarding Resolution No. 91-2022 approving budget amendment number 22.071 to
appropriate $2,147,000 in funds for a one-time payment of additional compensation to City
of South San Francisco employees and authorizing the City Manager to execute related
Letters of Agreement with recognized employee bargaining units. (Leah Lockhart, Human
Resources Director)
Director Lockhart presented the budget amendment to appropriate $2,147,000 in funds for a one-
time payment of additional compensation to City of South San Francisco employees. At the
direction of the City Council, staff met and conferred with the City's recognized bargaining units
regarding the amount, terms and conditions of a one-time payment of additional compensation to
City employees. Staff reached a tentative agreement with American Federation of State, County, and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 829, Teamster Local 856 (Mid -Management and
Confidential Units), International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 39. The agreements
provide for a one-time $4,800 payment for each current employee, provided that they are on the
City's payroll as of June 1, 2022.
Councilmember Addiego inquired whether the one-time payment included department heads and
the City Manager. Director Lockhart advised that the agreements did not include unrepresented
employees, including executive management/department heads and the City Manager.
Councilmember Addiego stated that he did not support and would not support the amount other than
the $3,000 that had initially been agreed upon by all of the City Council. He congratulated Rod
Palmquist and stated the public comments submitted over successive meetings turned out to be very
effective in moving a majority of the City Council. Councilmember Addiego disagreed with how
negotiations took place.
Vice Mayor Nicolas disagreed with the process and believed the rules of engagement were
breached.
Mayor Nagales appreciated everyone involved in the process and was glad that the item was
moving forward.
