Hi Mike: I hope you don't mind if I piggy back on your survey, for those who haven't responded yet. We are curious, for those cities with a 9/80 compressed work schedule, how many have a unified closed day, versus a staggered closed day (in essence, keeping City Hall open all business days but staggering the day employees have off.) Culver City has worked on a 9/80 CWS with a unified closed day for years (after starting out with a staggered 9/80 CWS), but now our City Council wants us to look into going back to a staggered 9/80 CWS, to increase public service. I didn't want to send out a separate inquiry on this, since there are already a couple of alternate work schedule surveys posted on the CSMFO web site, including one from earlier this year. However, I believe that many folks who have experienced both the staggered 9/80 CWS and the 9/80 CWS with a unified closed day have some strong opinions about the advantages/disadvantages of each system, from a business perspective and a personal viewpoint. If anyone cares to weigh in with their thoughts by sending me a separate note, I'd be pleased to receive your comments. Thanks! Crystal C.

In our city we believe that we are probably the most generous in California and in our labor negotiations it would help to indicate what other cities have for benefits. Your help is very appreciated. Please indicate for both Management and Misc. employees (we have no Public Safety) Item Mgmt Misc 1. Working Hours Per week (number) Schedule (ie. 9/80) 2. Vacation (#of hours) 0-5 years 5-10 years 10-15 years Over 15 years 3. Number of holidays 4. Sick Leave accrual per month in hours 5. Admin leave hours per year 6. Retirement Benefit (2@55) Who pays employee share Medical paid 7. Bilingual Pay (how much) 8. Deferred Comp (any matching, How much) 9. Health benefits Does it include dental, vision, life 10. Do you have a Cafeteria plan If so, how much is contributed? I know this is a long; but I think it will give all of us a better feel for what is going on in other cities and parts of California. Thank you very much Mike Blazenski Finance Director City of Hawaiian Gardens _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
