Mrs. Graham said that recent conversations with San Diego sources indicated that they are completing paper work and moving forward with plans to adopt existing bylaws to conform with USLA and CSLSA bylaws.
D. Job Title Committee
1.
Mr. McGowan said that one of the agencies had said they were not properly represented in the Orange County Chief's Association and feels that there are inaccuracies in the Job Title Matrix. Mr. McGowan said that CSLSA had not voted to endorse the Matrix and that it was a work in progress.
2.
Mr. Williams said that Newport Beach was not going to argue the categories at this point. He said they disagreed with the committee because it was entering into the meet and confer arena where agencies in Orange County may use this information in labor negotiations. Mr. Williams said that Newport Beach supports professionalizing standards, job classifications and job titles, but they do believe that categorizing job titles enters into the meet and confer process.

Moved by Mr. Williams to have the Job Title Committee Report be stricken from the minutes.
