15. NEW BUSINESS
15.1 15-2181 CONSIDER IMPLEMENTION OF A COMMUNITY WORKFORCE
TRAINING AGREEMENT FOR THE CITY OF STOCKTON
Recommended Action: RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Legislation/Environmental Committee
The Council Legislation/Environmental Committee recommends that
Council direct the City Manager to work with the coalition of stakeholders
to discuss the administration of a Community Workforce Training
Agreement and to provide the Council with a recommendation for the
final agreement.
Recommendation of the City Manager
The Committee recommendation is to direct the City Manager to
negotiate with Union representatives and return with a mutually agreeable
product. While the City Manager, based on a cursory review of the
Committee proposal, has taken no position on the viability, impacts, or
appropriateness of such an agreement, the proposed process presents
some logistical challenges worth considering. Advice and analysis from
the City Manager generally comes in the form of a recommendation
based on the totality of circumstances from the view point of what is best
for the organization. Negotiations, on the other hand, are the product of
what is tolerable among parties rather than what is in the best interest of
a single party. The proposed process would represent a departure from
the traditional perspective because it would require the City Manager to
propose something that may or may not be in the best interest of City.
Additional concerns would be the length of time and negotiating
parameters within which the process would take place. Similar to labor
negotiations with Unions, it is difficult to predict the timeline or outcome of
such a negotiating process.
As a result, the staff recommendation is to refer the item back to the
Committee for further consideration along with the appropriate legal
analysis to determine what, if any, impact will occur.
