\"\"<\/a>The Chautauqua County Legislature<\/strong> has approved a one-year contract with CSEA Unit 6300<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First Assistant County Attorney Pat Slagle<\/strong> explained to legislative committees last week that the contract is being extended following the recent resignation of the former Human Resources Director and hiring of the new one in order to allow both sides to get everything together.<\/p>\n

Legislator Terry Niebel<\/strong> said he reviewed the extension and thinks it’s fair to the taxpayers and county employees, “It calls for a one-time payment of $750 and a 3% increase in salary for about 900 employees. The cost of this extension is about $2.3 million. I think the county negotiating team, the union, and the county executive did a very good job.”<\/p>\n

Finance Director Kitty Crow<\/strong> said in committees that the extension amount is included in 2023 budget that’s being put together right now.<\/p>\n

Negotiations on the next contract with CSEA will begin in February 2023.<\/p>\n

The County Legislature also voted to rescind local law 6-22 which established a public relations officer position. County Executive PJ Wendel<\/strong> said he recommended the law be rescinded, citing the incident on August 12 where author Salman Rushdie<\/strong> was attacked at Chautauqua Institution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He said his office and the District Attorney’s Office received calls from all over the world and showed a need more for a Public Information Officer, “So upon further review, it’s better to make sure we have a position that is rightly fitted, and rightly described, and a job description is fitting for what for what we’re looking for is Public Information Officer that is able to disseminate the information, make sure that social media is taken care of and the messages are consistent and professional in coming out.”<\/p>\n

Wendel added that he was advised by his legal team to ask the Legislature to rescind the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
