COLUMBIA RIVER CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

DISCUSSION:    Minutes not received by union representatives. Union asked to have the review of the minutes deferred. Suggested having minutes distributed through the OICs. We will be phasing in Outlook over the next few months, then minutes can be transferred electronically.

ACTION:    Distribute through OICs until Outlook is phased in.

DISCUSSION:    Carl Bramlett for the local Union has sent a letter with synopsis of meeting to Greg Schneider. Mike McGee indicated that Bill Moore and Les Dolecal have talked.

ACTION:    Greg Schneider will talk to Bill Moore.

Remain on Agenda pending report back from Greg Schneider/Bill Moore.

Discussion:    The draft procedure was distributed at the meeting and then returned to Dan Thornton for revision into an easily readable format. There are wording changes. The attendance section is still being revised.

Action:    Draft copies will be out by July 30. Ted will follow-up with Jeff to have changes highlighted. Remain on Agenda for discussion at next meeting.

Discussion:    Another discussion will be held at the next OIC's meeting to continue working on the draft. Scott Campbell expressed concern with the sick leave portion of it. Employee comments will be solicited after semi-final draft is available.

Action:    Remain on Agenda.

Discussion:    Jonathan has not yet provided memo of what Mark Hunt discussed with him regarding shift definition. A Management proposal for work crews was distributed. This is a concept and not a firm proposal to define selection criteria for work supervisors. The concept includes the on-site work crew and the A&D work crew. This has not been reviewed by personnel, Mark Hunt, Greg Schneider. The union will review and comment. If there are suitable criteria to identify Work Crew Supervisors, then a Letter of Agreement may identify selected posts within the bid process for assignment. The selection process details may not be part of agreement, but referred to the agreement on how to select staff. If not a Letter of Agreement, then a mutually satisfactory and documented process to select staff should be agreed upon. Possibly a Letter of Agreement with sunset date. The Union membership still wants seniority to be the deciding factor.

Action:    The Union committed to review the document and reply by July 30, 1999.

Remain on Agenda.

Discussion:    Jonathan has not completed the memo. Dan Thornton has requested cost analysis information from Payroll which has not been received yet.

Action:    Remain on Agenda, pending response from J. Herman and information from Payroll.

Discussion:    Draft procedure not provided to the Union for review.

Action:    Dan Thornton to provide the draft procedure to the Union by July 30, 1999. Remain on Agenda

Discussion:    Copies of the State-wide Labor/Management Meeting on September 10, 1998 were provided.. PPE's were not mentioned in the minutes. Greg did not provide his PPE evaluation to the union yet.

Action:    Remain on Agenda, pending PPE evaluation

Discussion:    Questions posed by the Union:

1. Has the form created by CRCI been adopted statewide?

2. Who is to ask questions two and three on the statewide form.

3. If a Sergeant is acting OIC, are they considered a supervisor?

Union recollection is the OIC is to ask the first question; if yes, turned over to HR person. If person is off 3 consecutive days, it is referred to Jonathan Herman.

Action:    Need to discuss with Jonathan the intent of the HR policy.

Remain on Agenda.

Discussion:    Craig Burr will be returning to SFFC on Sunday, July 18. We have verbal approval from AOCE Vice President Mike VanPatten for Jack Stone to remain at SFFC through the end of the year. Jack Stone is returning to CRCI on July 18, 1999. Scott has questioned whether we are assisting AOCE in discriminating against AFSCME. Since they refused to allow H. Green to work at SFFC, but approved J. Stone. Union says they don't want anyone from CRCI working at SFFC without prior sign-off. When Stone returns to work at CRCI this will end the issue. Without prior sign-off from AFSCME, there will be problems. The Union requests prior to any staff being assigned to South Fork, a discussion occur with the Union, Greg Schneider and possibly the Union and possibly the Union attorney. The Union may pursue legal action against the AOCE and CRCI managers for discrimination. The Union will not allow any staff to work at South Fork without prior written agreement.

Action:    REMOVE from Agenda

A. Action items listed and reviewed for clarity, effective discussion, clear action items.

Clarity and action items were okay. Due to missing information and reference material the discussion was not effective. The issues with information were okay. Getting staff relieved is a problem.
