PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The General Manager indicated the Personnel Committee had met and dis- cussed at length District employee step increases, as compared to the City's step increases. The meter reader position was used as a case in point because the job description in both instances were basically the same. After reviewing the step increases and fringe benefits, it was determined that the hourly rate is lower for the first 8 years and higher from then on, therefore, because of extra health coverage, extra vacation and employers contribution to social security, the benefits are greater. Also, the District pay scale reflects the fact that our meter reader will retire with a 22% higher retirement. The take home pay for District employees will be greater if they drop out of social security. After discussing various aspects of the step raises, it was determined the employees should have the fringe benefit programs explained to them in detail. No action taken. STEP INCREASES The following step increases were recommended by the General Manager to the Personnel Committee: Clinton Stewart - Utility Crewman III From 29H $7.30/hr - $1271/mon to 291 $7.65/hr to $1330/mon Elisabeth Perkins - Chief Clerk From 30H $7.65/hr - $1330/mon to 301 $8.00/hr to $1390/mon Harry Blackman £ngineering Inspector From 31H $8.00/hr - $1391/mon to 311 $8.36/hr to $1455/mon M/S/C (Lightfoot-Kelvington) that the step raises be granted as recommended by the General Manager.

JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AMENDMENT - CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO Attorney Farrell stated he had reviewed the latest version of the amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement, as proposed by the City of 7/51/79 -2- San Bernardino. He felt that it needed further study and discussion, as some of the points were too broad. Also, since it had only been discussed with Herb Wessell & Margaret Chandler and there was no in- dication as to how the City Council would react, it should be studied further. Since other entities are also involved, he felt they should also have some input. After discussion on several points that were not clear, the General Manager indicated he would meet with Redlands and Loma Linda representatives and report back at the August 13th Board Meeting. It was determined the amendment should also be reviewed by staff, Attorney Farrell and Ken Patterson.
