INITIAT[NG PROBLEM, ISSLJE, OPPORTiJ1VITY (Who, Wha; Wheo, wner�, wny�: While discussions with AFSCNIE were commenced on
June 30, 2005 in anticipation of the pilot project running out on September 12, 2005, the bazgaining unit has requested time to
' confer with their membership about the pilot project process. We simply have not been able to reach ageement in rime to
meet the September 12, 2005 deadline. We do anticipate we will do so, however, in the near future. Thus, the reason for the
' abbreviated MOA extension.
,,, anvarrrncES iF nrrxovEn: The pilot project will continue in fixll force and employees will not be adversely affected. Public
Works and the affected bazgaining unit will continue to receive mutual benefits from the pilot project.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED: NOIIB
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED: If 2110 pllOt pTOJBCt 15 IlOL CORhrillCCl a nuruber of City employees currently on eligible lists
' will be adversely affected in that their names will be taken off the list for fuhue vacancies. This means the employees would
need to re-test, where under the terms of the pilot, they would not need to re-test. Similazly, the goals and objectives of the
Department of Public Works regazding succession and worl�'orce planning may not be realized.
