OFFICE OF TOWN ATTORNEY
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
425 MAIN ST.
GREENPORT, L.I., NEW YORK 11944
September 24, 1981
Mr. Francis J. Murphy
Deputy Supervisor
Town of Southold
Main Road
Southold, New York 11971
Re: 1981 CSEA Contract
Dear Frank:
As you know, last week Idrafted anew 1981-82 CSBA Contract to embody the
amendments agreed to between the CSBA negotiators and Mr. Graves, the
Town negotiator and the new contract was sent to the Superisor's Office.
Yesterday, Gary Charters the CSEA representative, advised my office that
there were several errors and omissions in the new contract which were the
following:
(1) Section 4 of Article V was omitted.
(2)
Section 6 of Article VII provided for a mileage rate for Town employees
using their own vehicles of 13 cents per mile. Mr. Charters stated that
it should be 17 cents per mile. However, on examining the Town Board
Resolution adopted, at the Town Board organizational meeting, this rate
was fixed at 20 cents per mile.
(3)
After the last contract was signed on May 11, 1979, the parties agreed
to certain revisions which were embodied in an agreement dated September
14, 1979. I neglected to include these amendments in the new contract.
(4)
In the Memorandum of Agreement for the new contract, the parties agreed
that any employee that resigned after January 1, 1981, would be compen-
sated on a pro rata basis for the salary increases for the period January 1,
1981 to such time of such employees retirement. This provision was
inadvertently omitted from the new agreement.
Mr. Francis J. Murphy
-2- September 24, 1981
(5) A Section 9 was added to Article VII by the 1979 agreement. This was
omitted and is now included in the revised pages.
In order to incorporate all of the above additions and omissions, I have redrafted
the pages of the contract commencing with page 11 to the end of the contract
(new pages ll to 20 inclusive), and these new pages are enclosed herewith and
should be substituted for pages 11 to 19 of the copy which you have in your posses-
sion. In order that each party may review these revised pages, I am setting forth
hereafter the revisions td the various sections which are as follows, to wit:
(a) Article V has been changed to insert a Section 4 which provides for a minimum
ordinary death benefit. This was omitted in the contract sent to you.
(b)
A ne~v subdivision to be subdivision (c) has been added to Section 1 of Article
VII. This provides for the pro rata payment for employees who resigned
after January 1, 1981.
(c)
The last sentence of Section 2, Article VII has been amended to provide that,
except in the case of a foreman, not less than two non-clerical highway
department employees shall be called out for emergency work. This pro-
vision was embodied in the September 14, 1979 supplemental agreement.
(d)
Section 4 of Article VII has been revised to conform to the September 14,
1979 supplemental agreement. Section 9 has also been added to conform
to the 1979 agreement.
(e)
Article VII, Section 6 changes the mileage rate from 13 cents to 20 cents
per mile. This is consistent with the Town Board Resolution adopted at the
1981 organizational meeting.
(f)
Section 1, Subdivision d, Article VIII which provides for the hours for
radio operators has been added to conform to the 1979 supplemental agree-
ment.
I am sending a copy of this letter as well as the copy of the revised pages 11-20
to Gary Charters in order that he may review the same prior to the signing of
the agreement, as revised.
Yours very truly,
/ ~ / C/~ t/
