Member Kehr introduced and moved the adoption of the following resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 7299 WHEREAS, the Legislative Commission on Employee Relations (LCER) is con- sidering a proposal to abolish the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) and its functions be assigned to the Bureau of Mediation (BMS), and WHEREAS, the basis of said proposal is that two administrative agencies are unnecessary and cumbersome; a combined agency would provide more efficient administration, District Court provides an adequate appeal process from the Bureau of Mediation, and such changes would implicitly result in cost savings to the City, and WHEREAS, the City of Rosevi 11 e beli eves the PERB to be a useful and acceptable part of the appellate procedure, as evidenced from the high per- centage of cases resolved at the Board 1 evel, and WHEREAS, the City of Roseville believes the appeal process through the District Courts would involve an extended period of time and not resolve critical bargaining unit issues in a timely manner, and WHEREAS, the City of Roseville believes the PERB function, as an appellate Board, is a substantially less costly process than District Court, and WHEREAS, the City of Roseville beli eves the PERB is a function which demands a highly specialized area of expertise, and the decisions of such Board are more likely to be consistent in interpreting the Public Employment Labor Relations Act. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City or Rosevi11 e is opposed to proposals currently before the LCER to abolish the Public Employment Relations Board, and to request the Roseville legislative delegation and the Legislative Commission on Employee Relations to vote against such proposals.
