Title
Adoption of Resolution Amending the City of Alameda's Employer/Employee Relations Resolution and Superseding the Following Resolutions: 7476, 7477, 7684 and 14894. (Human Resources 2510)
Body
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Alameda's (City) Employer/Employee Relations Resolution (EERR), Resolution No. 7476, and its Administrative Resolution, Resolution No. 7477, jointly implement the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act by establishing procedures for administration of employer-employee relations between the City and its employee organizations.

The City's current Employer/Employee Relations Resolutions No. 7476 and No. 7477 were originally adopted in 1969. The current EERR is outdated and cumbersome. The attached proposed Employer/Employee Relations Resolution reflects updated guidance and the current state of the law. Adoption will simplify review by consolidating the EERR from multiple documents into one document.
